How a Facelift Can Address Age-Related Concerns

As we age, changes in collagen, skin elasticity, and facial volume can lead to sagging skin, deep folds, and a loss of definition in the face and jawline. A facelift can restore balance to your features, helping you look refreshed and more like yourself without changing your expressions.

Restore Lift Where Facial Structure Has Softened

Volume loss in the cheeks and mid-face can cause the face to look heavier or less defined. A facelift repositions underlying tissue and tightens the skin to restore your youthful contours.

Tighten Loose Skin and Strengthen Jawline Definition

Skin that has loosened along the jaw and neck can soften your jawline and blur your profile. By gently tightening and supporting these areas, a facelift can bring back jawline definition without creating a “pulled” appearance.

Soften Deep Wrinkles and Surface-Level Lines

Deep folds around the mouth and lower face don’t respond well to injectables alone. A facelift can soften these lines and smooth your skin with results that age naturally over time.

Straightforward Guidance You Can Trust

You’ll always get clear answers about what a facelift can help with and what it can’t. Dr. Reilly is honest and upfront, helping you make informed decisions about your care.

Direction That Fits Your Needs and Your Pace

There’s no rush here. Dr. Reilly takes the time to talk things through, answer your questions, and help you move forward when you feel ready.

Years of Dedicated Experience in Facial Surgery

With over 20 years of surgical experience, Dr. Reilly has an understanding of facial anatomy that few other surgeons can match. With this precision, he preserves your expressions so your results continue to look appropriate as you age.

Could a Facelift Address the Changes You’re Noticing?

When volume loss or loose skin won’t respond to non-surgical treatments, a facelift can give you the youthful look you’ve been hoping for.

A facelift may be right for you if you’re frustrated with:

  • Sagging in the cheeks or lower face
  • Loose skin along the jawline or neck that’s affecting your facial definition
  • Deeper folds around the mouth or nose

A facelift may not be the right choice if:

  • You’re looking for a quick fix or a dramatic change in your appearance
  • Your concerns can be addressed with non-surgical treatments
  • You have medical conditions that may affect healing
  • You’re planning for major weight changes in the future

What Healing Looks Like for Most Facelift Patients

After your facelift, you’ll recover gradually, and Dr. Reilly will check in frequently to make sure you’re healing properly. Here’s what you can generally expect:

  • First few days: Expect swelling, bruising, and tightness. Rest, keep your head elevated, and follow your aftercare instructions closely.
  • Week 1: Some discoloration may still be present, but swelling will start to improve. Many patients feel comfortable moving around the house and resuming light activities.
  • Weeks 2–3: Bruising continues to fade, and your facial contours become more defined as swelling decreases. Most people feel ready to return to work or spend time socially.
  • Weeks 4–6: Your face will feel more natural as any remaining tightness eases. Subtle swelling continues to settle, and your results will look more balanced.
  • 3–6 months and beyond: Incisions continue to lighten, and your final results become more visible. 

Inside Your Facelift Consultation With John Reilly

Your consultation is your chance to chat one-on-one with Dr. Reilly about what a facelift can do for you. 

During your visit, you’ll talk about:

  • What led you to consider a facelift, and what you’d like to improve
  • How your facial structure and skin have changed over time
  • Where incisions are typically placed to minimize scarring
  • Whether combining procedures could support your goals
  • What recovery usually looks like and how to prepare for it
  • Pricing details and next steps

You’ll never be rushed or pressured; you’ll leave feeling informed and ready to make the best decision for yourself.

The Facelift Questions We Hear Most Often

In some cases, yes. Dr. Reilly may recommend combining your facelift with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a neck lift if these procedures align with your goals.

Like any surgery, a facelift comes with risks such as swelling, bruising, scarring, or temporary changes in sensation. Dr. Reilly will review your health history to determine whether a facelift is a safe option for you.

Pricing depends on your surgical plan and whether you’re combining other procedures. We’ll provide a clear quote during your consultation.

Many patients enjoy their results for 10 to 15 years or longer. While the natural aging process continues, the improvements from your facelift will hold up well over time.

Dr. Reilly places incisions around the ears and hairline to keep them discreet. As you heal, scars usually soften and become less noticeable.
