Facelift in Los Angeles

Surgical facelift using SMAS elevation and repositioning to reduce sagging skin, hanging jowls, and diminished cheek volume without a tight or pulled appearance. Incisions carefully placed along the hairline, within ear folds, or behind the earlobe. A mini facelift option is available for earlier-stage ageing. Complementary procedures including fat transfer, CO2 laser resurfacing, and injectables can be combined. Recovery: two to three weeks off work.

Dr. Motykie performs multiple facelift techniques including deep plane, SMAS, and the ponytail facelift with hairline-hidden incisions. His signature 'Stellar Facelift' combines multi-layer deep plane lifting with fat grafting and stem cell or exosome skin rejuvenation for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Jacob Sedgh performs facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) to address the hallmarks of facial ageing including jowling, deep nasolabial folds, loss of mid-face volume, neck banding, and skin laxity. Procedures involve repositioning the underlying facial tissues (SMAS layer) and removing excess skin for a naturally rejuvenated, non-pulled result. Mini facelift and mid facelift options are available for patients with earlier-stage laxity. Neck lift and neck liposuction are frequently combined for comprehensive lower-face and jawline refinement. Male facelift options are also offered. Recovery involves suture removal at week one, with most swelling resolving within two to three weeks.

Dr. Rady Rahban performs deep plane and mini facelift procedures at his Beverly Hills practice to address jowling, loss of jawline definition, sagging cheeks, and neck laxity. The deep plane technique elevates the SMAS layer — muscle and overlying tissue as one composite unit — for a more natural and durable result with less tension on the skin. The mini facelift uses shorter incisions for early-stage laxity with faster recovery. Non-surgical liquid facelift using fillers and neuromodulators is also available. Most patients return to social activities within one to three weeks.

Deep plane and SMAS facelift procedures performed at La Peer Surgery Center by board-certified facial plastic surgeons including Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, who specializes in the deep plane technique. The procedure addresses mid-face volume loss, jowling, and neck laxity with results associated with lasting ten or more years. Performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia in an AAAHC-accredited facility on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Recovery typically involves two to three weeks of social downtime.

Facelift (rhytidectomy) and neck lift performed by Dr. Cat Huang-Begovic to address jowling, mid-face descent, neck laxity, and platysmal banding. The procedure lifts and repositions descended facial soft tissue layers for a refreshed, natural appearance. Neck lift addresses the neck and jawline independently or as part of a combined facelift procedure. Results are long-lasting with natural-appearing contours aligned with Dr. Huang-Begovic's aesthetic philosophy.

Enhance Medical Center performs endoscopic facelift surgery — a minimally disruptive approach that uses small incisions and an endoscope to lift and reposition the deep facial tissues without the extensive skin excision of a traditional facelift. Dr. Charles S. Lee's technique targets the underlying muscular layer (SMAS) and midface fat compartments to restore youthful facial contour with a natural, tension-free result. Recovery is typically faster than open facelift surgery, with most patients presentable within ten to fourteen days. The procedure is often combined with fat grafting or neck lift for a comprehensive rejuvenation.
