Understanding Facial Plastic Surgery
Facial plastic surgery addresses visible aging and structural changes affecting the face and neck. Treatments may focus on one area or combine multiple procedures.
Common focus areas include:
- Eyes and brow region
- Nose and midface
- Jawline and neck
- Lips and mouth area
- Ears and forehead
Your surgeon makes precise, discreet incisions in natural creases to reposition structures, remove excess tissue, or restore volume, creating balanced, youthful contours that age naturally with you.

Our Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures
Each procedure can be performed independently or combined based on your goals.
Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
Comprehensive facial rejuvenation that addresses laxity in the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. Softens deep lines, restores structure, and produces long-lasting definition.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Targets upper and/or lower eyelids to reduce heaviness, puffiness, and excess skin. Creates a refreshed, brighter-eyed expression that enhances your features.
Rhinoplasty
Refines the nasal structure to improve balance, aesthetic harmony, and breathing function. Also available for revision or functional correction.
Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
Elevates the brows, minimizes forehead creases, and opens the eye area for a lifted, relaxed expression.
Neck Lift
Removes excess fat, tightens muscle bands, and redefines the neckline for improved contour and jawline sharpness.
Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Improves ear symmetry, prominence, or shape for a more balanced facial proportion.
Jawline Liposuction
Uses micro-cannula technique to remove fat under the chin and along the jawline, creating cleaner, more sculpted angles.
Lip Lift
Shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, enhances lip curvature, and improves youthful definition.
Mini Facelift (In-Office Procedure)
The mini facelift is a refined approach to facial rejuvenation performed in our office setting with local anesthesia. This procedure is ideal for enhancing lower face definition and jawline contour with significantly less downtime than a traditional facelift. It’s a specialized service not widely available at many practices.
Lower Facelift
The lower facelift enhances jawline definition, lower-cheek contour, and facial balance for targeted rejuvenation.
Midface / Cheek Lift
By elevating cheek position and improving lower-eyelid transition, the midface lift creates youthful mid-face contours.
Earlobe Repair & Rejuvenation
The procedure addresses stretched, torn, or elongated earlobes while enhancing volume or shape for improved appearance.
With proper aftercare, sun protection, and healthy skin maintenance, results from these procedures remain long-lasting and naturally appealing.
Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation
Many patients choose a strategic combination of procedures—such as facelift, eyelid surgery, and neck lift—to achieve their desired results.
Advantages of combining procedures include:
- One recovery period
- More harmonious, balanced results
- Comprehensive enhancement with a single surgical plan
Your surgeon can coordinate complementary procedures to achieve balanced, natural-looking facial enhancement that addresses multiple concerns simultaneously.
Revision Surgery
If you’ve had facial plastic surgery at another practice and are not fully satisfied with your results, revision procedures may help. Our surgeons can evaluate your concerns and discuss options for refinement, correction, or enhancement. Whether you’re addressing visible scarring, asymmetry, or results that don’t align with your expectations, we approach revision surgery with precision and a personalized strategy designed to achieve the outcome you originally envisioned. During your consultation, we’ll assess your current results, discuss your goals, and determine the best path forward.
Preparing for Your Procedure
You will receive detailed pre-operative guidance, including recommendations such as:
- Temporarily avoiding smoking
- Increasing hydration and protein intake
- Arranging transportation and rest support
- Following prescribed skincare or preparation treatments
Our surgical team provides clear expectations and support throughout every step of your journey.
What to Expect During Your Procedure
Depending on the type and extent of your facial surgery, we may use local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Your surgeon will make small, strategically placed incisions and perform the planned modifications with meticulous control. Advanced techniques are used for smoother, more precise results.
Incisions are closed with fine sutures designed to minimize scarring. Dressings or compression garments may be applied to minimize swelling and support healing.
Recovery & Healing Timeline
While individual experiences vary, most patients see the following progression:
Days 1-7
Swelling, tightness, and mild bruising are common. Sutures are typically removed at your one-week follow-up appointment.
Weeks 2-4
Greater facial clarity becomes visible. Most patients feel comfortable returning to social settings and light work during this period.
Months 3-6
Contours fully settle, tissue relaxes naturally, and final results become apparent. Results continue to improve as healing completes.
Your surgeon will provide detailed post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.
Who is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for Facial Plastic Surgery if you:
- Want to address aging or refine specific features
- Are in generally good health
- Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
- Are able to temporarily stop smoking
- Are committed to following pre and post-operative instructions

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do facial plastic surgery results last?
Results vary by procedure, but most facial plastic surgery procedures provide long-lasting improvements. A facelift can last 10-15 years, eyelid surgery 7-10 years, and rhinoplasty results are typically permanent. Proper skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle habits help maintain your results.
Can I combine multiple procedures?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine procedures—such as facelift, eyelid surgery, and neck lift—for comprehensive rejuvenation in one surgical setting. This approach offers one recovery period and more cohesive, harmonious results.
What is recovery like after facial plastic surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure. Most patients experience swelling and bruising for the first 1-2 weeks, with sutures typically removed within one week. You can usually return to light activities within 2-4 weeks, with final results appearing over 3-6 months as swelling fully resolves.
Will I have visible scarring?
Your surgeon places all incisions strategically in natural creases, hairlines, or hidden areas to minimize visibility. With proper care and healing, scars typically fade significantly and become barely noticeable over time.
Am I too young or too old for facial plastic surgery?
There’s no single “right age” for facial plastic surgery. The best candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your concerns and determine if you’re a good candidate based on your individual anatomy and goals.
