What Does a Facelift Treat?
- Sagging skin on the face and neck
- Deep folds around the nose and mouth
- Jowls and loss of jawline definition
- Double chin or loose neck skin
- Wrinkles and fine lines
A facelift focuses on repositioning deeper facial tissues—not just tightening skin—for long-lasting, natural results.
Types of Facelift Procedures
- Mini Facelift – Best for early signs of aging
- Mid-Facelift – Targets cheeks and under-eye area
- Full Facelift – Addresses lower face and neck
- Neck Lift (add-on) – Improves jawline and neck contour
Each treatment is customized based on your facial structure and goals.
The difference in procedures is the extent of scarring. Flaps are used during a simple lift procedure. Fat transfer is used for patients who desire a more fullness over their buttock area. During the fat transfer procedure, the removed fat is placed deeply within the muscle and in many different layers to create a smooth surface without irregularities. It is common for surgeons to perform liposuction as well to enhance the shape of the buttocks.
Fat grafting has changed buttock enhancement to be a simpler procedure, performed within 1.5 hours, with minimal pain, discomfort, and recovery time. Candidates for this surgery are usually 18 years or older and in good physical health.

If you are a smoker, your surgeon will strongly urge you to quit at least six weeks before your surgery as smoking can interfere with the healing process and the viability of the fat grafts. Also, medications that can increase the risk of bleeding should be stopped. As this surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, it’s important to arrange for transportation.
