Facelift in Palm Beach & West Palm Beach

Results are long-lasting, but time and gravity don’t stop. If a facelift makes you look 10–15 years younger, you'll continue to look that much younger. Still, after 10–15 years, your appearance may begin to resemble your pre-surgery look again.

As with any surgery, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia complications. It is important to discuss these risks with your surgeon before the procedure.

A full facelift addresses more extensive signs of aging across the entire face and neck, while a mini facelift focuses on specific areas such as the jawline and lower face. The choice depends on the patient's needs and desired outcomes.

Yes, many patients choose to combine a facelift with other procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift, or neck lift to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

While a facelift does involve incisions, skilled surgeons place them in areas where they are least noticeable, such as along the hairline and behind the ears. Over time, these scars usually fade and become less visible.

Yes! Modern techniques focus on repositioning deeper tissues for a balanced, youthful result—not just tightening skin. The goal is to look like yourself, just younger and refreshed. Great plastic surgery should never look like surgery.

It’s less about age and more about anatomy. I’ve done facelifts on patients as young as 43 and as old as 83. Some naturally experience earlier sagging of the face and neck. With the rise of aesthetics and the limits of fillers, more people are opting for facelifts earlier. In many cases, addressing aging sooner leads to more natural, longer-lasting results.

Preparation for a facelift includes a pre-surgery consultation to discuss your medical history, current medications, and expectations. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on how to prepare for the surgery, including guidelines on eating, drinking, and medication use.

Blepharoplasty is ideal for men and women with excess eyelid skin, under-eye bags, or a tired appearance. Candidates should be in good health without uncontrolled thyroid issues or dry eyes. Some patients may need muscle tightening instead of—or in addition to—blepharoplasty. It should also fit their schedule and budget.

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is often done in the office with local anesthesia. Lower lid procedures may use topical anesthesia or be performed in the OR with sedation.

It doesn’t directly move the brows, but brow position should be assessed. Some patients lift their brows to counter excess lid skin, which can worsen after Botox. In those cases, a brow lift may be needed instead of—or with—blepharoplasty.

Blepharoplasty enhances, not changes, natural eye shape—though the eyes may appear more open. Temporary vision changes can occur from swelling, ointment, or sutures. Upper eyelid surgery can actually improve vision if excess skin is obstructing it.
