Starting from $5,000 with multiple board-certified surgeons available.

Dr. Olivier Deigni performs facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) at his Houston practice to address jowling, mid-face descent, deep nasolabial folds, and neck laxity that develop with age.

Dr. Pruitt offers both his signature Pruitt Facelift and the more advanced deep plane facelift. The standard technique uses multi-layer tissue lifting in optimal vectors to restore youthful facial contours, while the deep plane approach releases and repositions the SMAS layer and deeper structures for longer-lasting results without a pulled appearance. Both are performed under IV sedation with local anaesthesia — no general anaesthesia or intubation — reducing risk and post-operative swelling. Ideal for sagging cheeks, jowls, nasolabial folds, neck laxity, and overall facial volume loss. Patients are typically makeup-ready within two weeks and photo-ready by six to twelve weeks.
