Facelift in Trumbull, CT
Helping You Feel More in Sync with the Mirror
Thoughtful Surgical Care, Tailored to Your Goals
You still feel vibrant, sharp, and energized. But what you see in the mirror doesn’t always reflect how you feel. That disconnect is real, and it’s okay to want to change it.
A facelift in Trumbull is about restoring what time, stress, and life have gradually shifted. It’s not about chasing youth or changing who you are. It’s about looking more like the version of you that still feels very present inside. With Dr. Reilly, you’ll have the space to talk through what matters most to you—with a surgeon who listens, keeps it real, and helps you make the best decision for your life.
Facelift Results That Prioritize Subtlety and Longevity
From softening deep lines to restoring definition through the cheeks and jawline, you’ll see the possibilities without dramatic or exaggerated changes. Just real people, feeling more at home in their skin.
Restore a Youthful, Refreshed Appearance
With aging comes a natural shift in skin elasticity and facial volume. A facelift can gently turn back the clock by elevating underlying structures, tightening skin, and reviving a fresher appearance that still feels like you.
Reduce Sagging Skin and Define Your Jawline
Sagging around the jaw and neck often causes people to feel disconnected from their reflection. By repositioning tissue and smoothing contours, Dr. Reilly helps restore definition and balance without the “tight” look some patients worry about.
Smooth Deep Wrinkles and Fine Lines
A well-executed facelift can reduce deep creases around the nose and mouth and soften lines that make you look more tired than you feel. When done thoughtfully, it leads to a rested, approachable appearance that holds up over time.

Preparing For Your Facelift Consultation with John Reilly MD
Your consultation is where it all starts. You’ll meet directly with Dr. Reilly to discuss your reasons for seeking facelift surgery, what changes you’d like to see, and what options are available. He’ll walk you through:
Skin Laxity & Muscle Tone
How your tissue is aging and where support is needed.
Volume Loss
Whether fat transfer or volume restoration would complement a lift.
Incision Approach
Placement that minimizes visibility while maximizing impact.
Complementary Procedures
Whether a neck lift, eyelid surgery, or non-surgical treatments may help support your goals.
There are no wrong questions here, and there’s no rush to decide. The goal is to leave informed, not overwhelmed.
