Facelift (The Pruitt Facelift & Deep Plane Facelift)

Type

Facelift

Duration

4 hours

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.
