facelift
renew your appearance with timeless results
a facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure designed to address the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. by tightening underlying tissues, removing excess skin, and repositioning skin and fat, a facelift creates a smoother, more youthful contour. this procedure effectively targets deep wrinkles, jowls, sagging skin, and loss of facial volume, offering a refreshed and natural-looking rejuvenation that can last for many years. it is considered the gold standard for comprehensive facial renewal.
how a facelift works
Customized
the primary goal of a facelift is to restore a more youthful harmony to the face by addressing the effects of gravity and time on facial structures.
the process begins with a detailed consultation at dose aesthetics in bowling green, ohio. your surgeon will discuss your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and recommend the specific type of facelift (e.g., mini, standard, or deep plane) that will achieve the most natural and effective results for your unique needs.
the procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. incisions are strategically placed—often starting in the hairline at the temples, continuing around the ear, and ending in the lower scalp. these placements ensure that scars are well-concealed.
the surgeon separates the skin from the underlying muscle and fat. the deeper tissues, known as the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (smas), are tightened and lifted. this deep-tissue manipulation is crucial for achieving long-lasting, natural-looking results, avoiding the “pulled” look of older techniques.
fat may be removed, sculpted, or redistributed to enhance facial contours and restore lost volume, particularly in the cheeks.
the skin is then gently redraped over the newly tightened contours. any excess skin is trimmed away, and the incisions are closed with sutures or staples.
dressings are applied, and small drains may be temporarily placed to collect any excess fluid. you will be monitored closely post-procedure.
is a facelift right for you?
a facelift is a significant decision and requires careful consideration of your health and goals.
- individuals with noticeable signs of aging, such as moderate-to-severe sagging of the mid-face, deep creases below the lower eyelids, folds extending from the nose to the corner of the mouth (nasolabial folds), and loss of muscle tone in the lower face leading to jowls.
- patients should be in good general health, non-smokers (or willing to quit for a significant period), and have realistic expectations about the procedure and the healing process.
- candidates must be prepared for the necessary downtime and follow-up care required for this surgical procedure.
- individuals with certain chronic medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood clotting disorders) may not be suitable candidates due to increased surgical risks.
- patients who are active smokers are strongly advised to quit as smoking significantly impedes healing and increases the risk of complications.
- individuals with unrealistic expectations about the scope of the procedure or those seeking only minimal correction may be better suited for non-surgical alternatives.

treatment experience
- a facelift is a major surgical procedure typically requiring several hours under anesthesia. it is an outpatient procedure in many cases, though an overnight stay may be recommended depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s overall health.
- the procedure is performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon at dose aesthetics in bowling green, ohio.
- while you will not feel discomfort during the surgery, some tightness and bruising are expected in the initial recovery period. pain medication will be prescribed to manage discomfort.
recovery and results
- downtime is required, usually spanning 2 to 3 weeks before patients feel comfortable returning to most social activities and work. swelling and bruising are significant in the first week and gradually subside.
- most sutures are removed within 5 to 10 days. patients must strictly follow post-operative instructions, including avoiding strenuous activity and sun exposure.
- while initial improvements are visible almost immediately, the final, most refined results develop over several months as all swelling resolves and the tissues settle. the results of a facelift are long-lasting, often providing a rejuvenated look for 10 years or more.
