See the Real Difference a Facelift Made for These Patients
The Benefits Many Patients See From a Facelift
When the natural aging process causes deep lines or skin laxity, a facelift can restore balance to your features. The goal isn’t to look different, but to look refreshed in a way that’s authentic to you.
Lift the Facial Regions Most Impacted by Aging
As the cheeks and face lose volume over time, your features can start to look heavier or less defined. A facelift restores structure in these areas, helping your face look more youthful while keeping your expressions authentic.
Reduce Laxity While Enhancing Jawline Contour
Loose skin along the jaw and neck can soften your profile and blur once-defined lines. By repositioning tissue, a facelift can sharpen jawline contours and restore cleaner facial edges without a “tight” appearance.
Improve Both Deep and Fine Facial Lines
If you’re noticing fine lines around the mouth and lower face, a facelift can soften these creases for a more rested look.

Is Facelift Surgery a Good Match for Your Concerns?
When your look doesn’t reflect the youthful energy you feel inside, a facelift can turn back the clock for a smoother, more rested appearance.
A facelift may be right for you if:
- Sagging skin in the cheeks, jawline, or neck is making you look older than you feel
- Loose skin or loss of definition can’t be improved with non-surgical treatments
- You want longer-lasting improvement instead of temporary fixes
A facelift may not be the right choice if:
- Your concerns could be addressed with non-surgical options
- You want a dramatic change or a completely different look
- You have medical conditions that make surgery unsafe

A Clear Look at the Facelift Healing Process
Healing after a facelift happens in stages, and knowing what lies ahead can make the experience feel far more manageable. While every patient heals a little differently, most follow a similar progression over time.
- First Few Days: Swelling, tightness, and bruising are normal. You’ll be encouraged to rest, keep your head elevated, and take prescribed medications to stay comfortable.
- Week 1: As swelling begins to settle, you’ll start to feel more like yourself. Many patients feel ready to return to light daily activities during this time.
- Weeks 2-3: Bruising continues to fade, and facial movement becomes easier. Most people feel comfortable returning to work and social plans, though some swelling may still linger.
- Weeks 4-6: Your face continues to soften and refine as healing progresses. Any remaining tightness subsides, and your results will look more settled and balanced.
- 3-6 months and beyond: Swelling resolves, scars continue to fade, and your final results come into focus. At this stage, most patients enjoy their refreshed appearance without restrictions.

What Patients Commonly Ask About Facelift Surgery
Yes! Many patients choose to pair a facelift with procedures like eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a neck lift. Dr. Reilly will only recommend combining treatments when it truly supports your goals.
As with any surgery, a facelift may cause swelling, bruising, scarring, or temporary changes in sensation. Dr. Reilly will review your medical history and risk factors to make sure a facelift is a safe option for you.
The cost of a facelift depends on your surgical plan and whether additional procedures are included. We’ll provide clear pricing during your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.
Many patients enjoy their facelift results for 10-15 years or longer. While the natural aging process will continue, your enhancements will evolve gracefully with you.
Dr. Reilly places incisions around the ears and hairline to keep them discreet. As you heal, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
