Reverse signs of aging
on the face and neck
A facelift in Scottsdale, or rhytidectomy, is a procedure that reduces the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It involves tightening underlying tissues, removing excess skin, and repositioning facial structures to restore a more youthful appearance. This procedure addresses concerns such as sagging skin, deep folds, and jowls. By enhancing facial contours and rejuvenating the skin’s appearance, a facelift can create a refreshed look that still reflects the patient’s natural features. It can be combined with neck lifts or eyelid surgery for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
What does a facelift correct?
- Sagging skin on the face and neck
- Deep folds or creases around the nose and mouth
- Jowls along the jawline
- Loose or hanging skin under the chin
- Loss of facial volume and contours
- Excess skin and wrinkles around the cheeks
The techniques used for facelift
Deep plane facelift
The deep plane facelift targets the deeper layers of facial tissue, focusing on repositioning the muscles, fat, and ligaments beneath the skin. This method not only lifts the skin but also restores the natural contours of the face by addressing the root causes of aging, such as sagging in the mid-face and deep folds around the nose and mouth. The deep plane facelift in Scottsdale is known for providing long-lasting, natural-looking results with improved facial harmony, especially in the mid-face and cheek areas.
SMAS facelift
The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) facelift involves lifting and tightening the SMAS layer, a key structural component of the face that lies just beneath the skin. By adjusting this deeper layer, the SMAS facelift can significantly enhance facial contours and reduce signs of aging, such as jowls and sagging in the lower face and neck. This technique provides a more comprehensive lift compared to skin-only facelifts, resulting in a rejuvenated appearance that maintains the integrity of the facial structure.
Mini facelift
A mini facelift addresses early signs of aging in the lower face and jawline. It involves smaller incisions, typically around the ears, and focuses on lifting and tightening the skin and underlying tissues in a more targeted area. The mini facelift offers a quicker recovery time and is ideal for patients who are beginning to notice mild to moderate sagging but do not yet require a full facelift. This technique provides subtle yet effective results with minimal downtime.
Revision facelift
A revision facelift in Scottsdale refines or corrects the results of a previous facelift, addressing issues such as recurrent sagging, asymmetry, or dissatisfaction with earlier outcomes. This procedure requires a high level of expertise, as it involves working with tissues that have already been altered by surgery. The goal is to enhance and improve upon the original results, ensuring a more natural and satisfying outcome. This procedure must be performed by surgeons with specialized expertise in facial plastic surgeries and reconstructive techniques.
Recovery after facelift
After your facelift, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over the first few weeks. It’s important to keep your head elevated and follow your surgeon’s care instructions closely. Most patients can return to normal activities within two to three weeks, though full recovery may take several months. You’ll notice continuous improvements as the healing process progresses, revealing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Facelift FAQs
Who is a good candidate for a facelift?
A good candidate for a facelift in Scottsdale is typically someone experiencing moderate to significant signs of facial aging, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. Candidates should be in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and understand the commitment to recovery. It’s essential to discuss your medical history with a qualified surgeon to determine if a facelift is right for you.
How long do the results typically last?
The results of a facelift can last anywhere from 7 to 10 years, depending on factors such as skin quality, age, and lifestyle. While the procedure can significantly turn back the clock, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following a good skincare routine can help extend the longevity of your results.
How much does a facelift cost?
The cost of a facelift varies widely depending on the extent of the procedure. Generally, it’s a significant investment, but it’s important to focus on the quality of care and the expertise of the surgeon rather than just the price. During your consultation, Dr. DeVictor will provide a more personalized estimate based on your specific needs. For general pricing, see our pricing page.

Combining procedures can be more convenient and provide a balanced, harmonious rejuvenation of your overall appearance.
