Overview

What Is a Facelift?

We’re all living longer these days, but it’s hard for our skin to keep up. This is especially true here in California, where we spend lots of time out in the sun. Combine sun damage with declining collagen production, and you’re left with deep creases beside the mouth, hanging jowls, sunken cheeks, loose skin and fat deposits on the neck, and an overall loose, saggy look. A facelift with Dr. Daneshrad can turn back the clock.

Clinically known as rhytidectomy, a facelift is a surgical procedure specifically targeting the visible signs of aging in the mid- and lower face and the upper neck. Dr. Daneshrad’s extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and this surgical procedure allows him to use various methods to smooth and tighten the skin on the cheeks, the chin area, and the upper neck. He views every facelift as a completely unique procedure based on the patient’s unique needs.

What Results Can I Expect from a Facelift?

A facelift removes loose skin on the face and neck, tightens the underlying muscles and tissue, and removes excess fat. It can take 10 to 15 years off your facial age and is a great procedure for both women and men. The skin is lifted during this procedure, and the underlying musculature is usually elevated. This creates a natural-looking result rather than a stretched appearance.

Am I an Ideal Candidate for a Facelift?

If you're over 45, you could be an excellent candidate for a facelift with Dr. Daneshrad, especially if you've had significant sun exposure throughout your life. Non-smokers are ideal, as smoking can hinder the healing process. The best candidates still have good skin elasticity despite age-related sagging. To check your skin’s elasticity, pinch it — if it bounces back, you're a good candidate.

It's essential to have realistic expectations. A facelift can make you look 10 to 15 years younger, but can't stop the natural aging process. Your face will continue to age but from a much younger baseline.

What to expect

What to Expect During a Facelift in Los Angeles

Facelift techniques have advanced significantly in the past two decades. Traditionally, facelifts focused primarily on tightening the skin, often resulting in a stretched appearance. Today, Dr. Daneshrad, considered the best facelift surgeon in Los Angeles, uses a more modern approach, targeting the underlying muscles and support tissues to restore a more natural, youthful look. His expertise in facial anatomy and otolaryngology ensures precise, effective results. Here’s a breakdown of the facelift techniques he offers:

Traditional Facelift

A full facelift provides the most comprehensive rejuvenation from the mid-face down to the neck. It involves lifting and repositioning deeper tissues and muscles to restore their original position. Excess skin is trimmed and re-draped, and fat is sculpted to avoid a hollow appearance. Incisions are made at the temples, run down in front of the ears, and end at the lower scalp. A second incision is made under the chin to tighten and lift the neck if needed.

Limited-Incision Facelift (Mini Facelift)

One of the most popular options today, the mini facelift, is ideal for patients with mild to moderate sagging, particularly around the lower face and jawline. For a mini-facelift in Los Angeles, small incisions are placed around the ears, and both the skin and underlying musculature (SMAS) are lifted and refined to restore a youthful, defined jawline and improve sagging around the mouth and eyes.

Mid-Face Lift

A mid-face or cheek lift rejuvenates sagging cheeks and the areas under the eyes. It elevates the fat pads in the cheeks, restoring fullness and smoothing nasolabial folds. Unlike temporary dermal fillers, mid-face lifts in Los Angeles provide permanent results. Incisions are made in the lower eyelids or inside the mouth, making recovery easier than traditional facelifts.

Neck Lift

While not technically a facelift, a neck lift in Los Angeles is often included in the procedure to address sagging skin and neck banding. Incisions are made around the earlobe and behind the ear to tighten the neck and remove excess fat under the chin.

Daneshrad Difference

Regarded as the best facelift surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Daneshrad’s gentle and precise approach to facelifts ensures natural, long-lasting results tailored to your needs.

What Are the Possible Risks Of  Facelift Surgery?

Facelifts involve the usual risks: poor wound healing, possible infection, reaction to anesthesia, and the like. These are the specific risks that come with this procedure:

Injury to the nerves that control facial muscles (usually temporary)
Numbness or tingling around the incision areas (temporary)
Hair loss at the incision sites
Skin discoloration (rare but can continue for several months)
Skin healing issues (more common with smokers)
