What is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces signs of aging by tightening sagging skin, smoothing deep wrinkles, and redefining facial contours. This surgery restores the areas where aging is often most visible, including the cheeks, jowls, and jawline definition, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Benefits of a Facelift
A facelift is a powerful tool for reclaiming the natural contours of your face and neck. This procedure lifts and tightens sagging skin, while reducing deep folds that often create a tired appearance. By addressing jowls and restoring a firmer jawline, Dr. Durand can help you achieve a profile that looks refreshed and entirely natural to your unique features.
- Lifts and tightens sagging skin on the face and neck
- Reduces deep wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds
- Restores a firmer jawline and reduces jowls
- Creates a more youthful appearance
Facelifts are customized based on individual needs, with options such as full facelifts, deep plane facelifts, mini facelifts and neck lifts. Many patients combine facelifts with other procedures like eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or fat grafting for enhanced results.
Facelift Options at Enso Plastic Surgery
Dr. Durand’s Signature MVLift®
The MVLift is a revolutionary procedure that offers a modern approach to the traditional face and neck lift. Rather than lifting in a single direction (either vertically or laterally), the MVLift comprehensively tackles the aging process in multiple vectors simultaneously, resulting in a remarkably natural and impactful outcome. The procedure addresses both deep and superficial facial structures with minimal to no bruising and provides an accelerated recovery.
The MVLift is available exclusively with Dr. Durand at Enso Plastic Surgery.
- Hidden incisions
- Minimal to no bruising
- No drain tubes
- Natural, long-lasting results
Deep Plane Facelift
A Deep Plane Facelift is a comprehensive approach that provides longer-lasting, more transformative results than traditional methods. Unlike those that pull the skin, this procedure repositions the deeper muscle layers and fat as a single unit. By releasing key structural ligaments, it restores the mid-face and jawline to a more youthful position without any tight appearance.
And because the lift happens beneath the surface, there is no tension on the skin, which allows incisions to heal beautifully and remain hidden within the natural contours of the ear and hairline.
Mini Facelift
The Mini Facelift is an ideal solution for patients experiencing early signs of aging, such as mild jowling or sagging in the lower face. This procedure utilizes shorter incisions, hidden within the natural contours of the ear, to discreetly firm the jawline. While less extensive than a full facelift, it still focuses on repositioning the underlying tissues rather than simply pulling the skin. Patients also benefit from a faster recovery time and significantly less postoperative swelling compared to other techniques.
Midplane Facelift
A Midplane Facelift targets the central face, specifically the cheeks and the area beneath the lower eyelids. As our malar fat pads and supporting tissues naturally descend over time, the cheeks can appear flattened, making smile lines more pronounced. This facelift addresses those changes by elevating and repositioning the deeper midfacial tissues to their original, more youthful position. Overall this is more comprehensive than a mini lift, yet more focused than a full facelift.
Lower Facelift
A Lower Facelift focuses on the lower third of the face. Also more comprehensive than a mini lift, it provides a deeper correction of the jaw and upper neck transition, making it well suited for patients with moderate to advanced sagging who do not require midface or brow elevation.
SMAS Facelift
The SMAS Facelift involves the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System, the supportive layer beneath the skin. Rather than relying on surface tightening alone, this procedure lifts and repositions this SMAS layer to create a more natural and refreshed appearance. Because the primary support comes from within, surface tension is minimized, allowing the skin to redrape smoothly.
Revision Facelift
A Revision Facelift is designed for patients who have previously undergone facial surgery and wish to refine their results or address further aging. Because these cases involve existing scar tissue, the approach is highly individualized to prioritize tissue health and safety. By carefully navigating previous surgical sites, Dr. Durand can restore the structural integrity and volume that may have diminished over time.
Neck Lift
A Neck Lift restores a smooth, youthful neckline by addressing vertical muscle banding, excess fat beneath the chin, and loose skin. Because the face and neck often age together, a neck lift is frequently performed alongside a facelift for the most balanced result. Treating both areas at the same time allows for a seamless transition from the cheeks to the collarbone, delivering natural-looking definition and a refreshed appearance.
What to Expect: Procedure & Recovery
Facelift Procedure
On the day of surgery, your procedure will be performed in our state-of-the-art surgical center, typically under general anesthesia or deep sedation for your comfort. Depending on the specific surgery, Dr. Durand will make precise incisions strategically hidden within the natural contours of the ear and hairline. He then meticulously repositions the deeper foundational tissues and removes excess skin to restore youthful volume and definition. Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are closed with fine sutures designed to minimize scarring and promote a seamless, natural-looking result.
Facelift Recovery
The downtime after a facelift procedure is one to two weeks. After this immediate recovery period, patients will still have some swelling but usually feel comfortable resuming everyday activities and going back to work.
However, as the skin remains sensitive, patients must prioritize strict sun protection and avoid high-intensity exercise or heavy lifting for at least four weeks. Light walking is encouraged throughout your recovery to maintain healthy circulation and ensure the best possible result.
