Facial Procedures

rhytidectomy

Face Lift

 A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing the signs of aging on the face and neck. It typically involves tightening the skin and underlying muscles, as well as removing excess fat, to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.  Patients may also choose to include other surgical procedures as part of the facelift, including eyelid and brow lift surgery. 


Facelift procedures can vary in complexity and may be combined with other surgical or non-surgical treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. It's essential to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Nguyen,  to discuss your goals and determine the most suitable approach for you.

face lift techniques

Traditional Facelift (SMAS Facelift)

Traditional Facelift (SMAS Facelift)

Traditional Facelift (SMAS Facelift)

 This technique involves lifting and tightening the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), a layer of tissue beneath the skin that covers the muscles of the face. Incisions are typically made along the hairline and around the ears to access and reposition the SMAS, allowing for a more youthful appearance in the midface, jawline, and neck. 

Deep-Plane Facelift

Traditional Facelift (SMAS Facelift)

Traditional Facelift (SMAS Facelift)

 The deep-plane facelift targets deeper layers of tissue beneath the SMAS, specifically addressing the retaining ligaments and fat pads of the face. By releasing and repositioning these structures, the deep-plane facelift can provide more comprehensive lifting and smoothing of facial contours, particularly in the midface area.

SMASectomy

Traditional Facelift (SMAS Facelift)

Mini Facelift

  In this technique, a portion of the SMAS tissue is removed rather than repositioned, allowing for more extensive tightening and lifting of the facial contours. SMASectomy may be preferred in cases where there is significant laxity or drooping of the tissues, but it can also carry a higher risk of complications and a longer recovery period. 

Mini Facelift

Thread Facelift

Mini Facelift

 Also known as a "short scar" facelift, the mini facelift is a less invasive procedure that focuses on addressing mild to moderate signs of aging in the lower face and neck. It involves shorter incisions and a quicker recovery compared to traditional facelift techniques, making it a popular option for patients seeking subtle rejuvenation with minimal downtime. 

Mid Facelift

Thread Facelift

Thread Facelift

 The mid-facelift specifically targets the middle portion of the face, including the cheeks and under-eye area. It involves lifting and repositioning the underlying tissues to restore volume and definition to the cheeks, reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds, and rejuvenate the overall midface area. 

Thread Facelift

Thread Facelift

Thread Facelift

A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dissolvable sutures or threads to lift and reposition sagging facial tissues. While not as long-lasting or comprehensive as surgical facelifts, thread lifts can provide temporary improvement in facial contours and are associated with minimal downtime and recovery.

Endoscopic Facelift

Non-Surgical Facelift

Non-Surgical Facelift

In an endoscopic facelift, small incisions are made, and an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) is used to visualize and manipulate the underlying facial structures. This technique allows for more precise dissection and repositioning of tissues, resulting in less scarring and a quicker recovery compared to traditional facelift approaches.

Non-Surgical Facelift

Non-Surgical Facelift

Non-Surgical Facelift

Non-surgical facelift options include injectable treatments like dermal fillers and Botox, as well as energy-based therapies such as laser skin resurfacing and ultrasound skin tightening. While these treatments can provide some degree of facial rejuvenation without surgery, they are generally less effective for addressing significant sagging or excess skin.

The most suitable facelift technique for you will depend on factors such as your unique facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and desired level of invasiveness. 

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Nguyen to assess your individual needs and determine the most appropriate approach for achieving your desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are just a few commonly asked questions about face & neck lift surgery. If you have specific concerns or questions, it's best to discuss them with Dr. Nguyen during a consultation.

Good candidates for a facelift are generally healthy individuals with realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. They typically have sagging facial skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, or loose neck skin that they wish to address. 


 A facelift can result in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking face and neck. While it can't stop the aging process, it can help turn back the clock by several years, giving a more refreshed appearance. 


 Recovery time varies from person to person, but most individuals can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days to weeks after surgery. Most people are able to return to work and resume light activities within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery taking several weeks to months.
