Facelift. Restore definition, keep your expression.

Overview: A facelift lifts and repositions deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin to soften jowls, sagging in the cheeks, and loss of definition along the jawline. The goal is a natural result that looks like a more rested you, not a different face.

Who it's for: Patients who notice sagging in the lower face or jawline, are in good general health, do not smoke (or are willing to stop before and after surgery), and have realistic expectations.

What to expect:

  • Procedure: Incisions are typically placed around the ear and into the hairline so scars are well concealed. The technique is chosen based on your anatomy.
  • Recovery: Swelling and bruising are common and usually settle over about two to three weeks. Many patients return to desk work in around two weeks. Dr. Lawal will give you a personalized timeline.
  • Results: Refinement continues over several months. A facelift does not stop aging, but results typically last for years.


FAQ:

  • Can a facelift be combined with other procedures? Often, yes. It is commonly paired with a neck lift or eyelid surgery.
  • Will I look "pulled"? Dr. Lawal focuses on natural-looking results and discusses what is realistic for you at your consultation.
