Introduction
About Facelift
Inevitably, the years take a toll on your face, causing your skin to sag and droop. If you feel like your face no longer represents you, you’re not alone. Nobody thinks of themselves as feeling old, but the mirror can tell a different story. Fortunately, there are ways to recapture your most authentic self. A facelift helps improve the most visible signs of aging by removing and redistributing excess fatty deposits, tightening underlying muscles, and removing sagging skin. The best facelifts take a three-dimensional approach to facial rejuvenation, avoiding the stretched or pulled look that we commonly associate with the facelift. With today’s facelift, you can look like your best self and take years off your facial profile.

Define the Jawline
As we age, the skin tends to fall downward around the jawline, obscuring the youthful definition we take for granted. A facelift can excise sagging skin, restoring the natural contours of the cheeks, neck, and jawline.
Lift and Tighten Sagging Tissues
Although, on the surface, we notice sagging skin, the issue tends to go deeper. A facelift can restore the deeper tissues of the face, helping restore them to their youthful position, just as they were decades ago.
Create a More Youthful Appearance
The overall goal of the facelift is never to make you look like someone else but to recapture your younger self. With a facelift, you can take as many as ten years off your facial profile.

Mini Facelift
A mini facelift rejuvenates the face with a shorter recovery, minimal discomfort, and less numbness. If you have moderate facial aging and good skin elasticity, you may be an ideal candidate for a mini facelift. The mini facelift is a minimally invasive method of tightening the skin of the lower face to restore smooth, youthful contours.
Dr. Tehrani performs the mini facelift using half-inch incisions, through which he inserts a tiny fiber-optic camera. The camera can help visualize the internal structures of the face and neck while minimizing strain on the area. Next, Dr. Tehrani uses the optic camera and sophisticated tools to excise and tighten the underlying tissues.
Extended Facelift
An extended facelift lifts and tightens the underlying tissue and muscles to a greater degree than a standard facelift. As a result, the incisions span farther along the temple. Dr. Tehrani uses the extended facelift to help correct more advanced facial aging and reverse the appearance of crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and more.
Facelift Recovery
Recovery is the most important part of your facelift journey. You’ll receive personalized recovery instructions to help you complete your recovery following a facelift. There are some critical elements to condiser. Due to the after-effects of anesthesia, ask a friend or family member to drive you home following surgery. You can recover at home with a responsible adult, in a recovery facility, or overnight in the hospital. Wear your compression garment around your lower face and neck for approximately one week. Bruising and swelling are typical and may take several weeks to resolve. Stiffness in the neck and some soreness with swallowing and eating is normal. You’ll return to Dr. Tehrani for suture and staple removal within two weeks. Drains, if used, are usually removed 1-3 days after the procedure. Makeup can be applied over the skin immediately but not over the incisions for 2-3 weeks.
You’ll return throughout your recovery for follow-up appointments with our team. The results of your facelift surgery will continue to improve in the weeks following surgery. You’ll see the final results of your facelift as swelling subsides, usually within two to three weeks. Standard and extended facelift results will last for 15+ years!
Results of a mini facelift last an average of six years.
