Facelift

At SkinMD, we recognize that facial aging can affect both your confidence and appearance. Changes such as sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of facial definition are normal with age, but can be reversed with facelift surgery. Patients looking to restore their appearance and achieve a refreshed look can benefit from a facelift procedure performed by our surgeons at SkinMD.

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten loose facial tissues, reposition underlying structures, and remove excess skin for a more youthful appearance. This treatment focuses on the lower two-thirds of the face and jawline, addressing sagging cheeks, deep folds, and jowling. At SkinMD, our surgeons use state-of-the-art techniques to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your facial features.

What Can a Facelift Treat?

A facelift effectively addresses many visible signs of aging, including:

• Sagging skin in the cheeks or lower face
• Deep nasolabial folds or marionette lines
• Jowls or loss of jawline definition
• Drooping facial tissues caused by age or weight changes
• A tired or heavy appearance in the lower face
• Skin laxity contributing to uneven facial contours

This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation with long-lasting results.

What Are the Benefits of a Facelift?

Patients choose facelift surgery for its ability to restore a youthful appearance. Benefits include:

• A smoother and firmer appearance in the lower face
• Improved jawline definition
• Reduced sagging and deep creases
• Natural-looking and long-lasting rejuvenation
• Enhanced confidence and improved facial balance

What Does a Facelift Involve?

During a facelift plastic surgery procedure, your surgeon at SkinMD will make small incisions around the ears and hairline to access deeper tissues and hide scarring. The underlying muscles and connective layers are then tightened and repositioned for structural support, while excess skin is removed for a smoother and more lifted look. Depending on your goals, a facelift may be combined with neck lift surgery, eyelid surgery, or fat grafting for more comprehensive rejuvenation. General anesthesia is commonly used to help you maintain comfort during the treatment.

What Results Can I Expect from a Facelift?

After surgery, you can expect swelling and bruising for several days. Most people return to work and social activities within a few weeks as healing progresses. Results are visible once early swelling subsides, revealing a more youthful appearance. Improvements continue over the following months as tissues settle naturally. When paired with a healthy lifestyle and good skincare habits, your results can last for many years.

Skin MD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

The staff are so welcoming and comforting. They take time to listen to your needs and they do not pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. They also take time to explain the process and their decision making to you so that you have all the facts.

Friendly, fast, and professional service at the highest quality. Really impressed with the results of their services, and my technician is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have any questions. They made sure I was fully educated on the services I received and perform check-ins to ensure my skin heals properly. Also, the most convenient location in Back Bay!

~ Jules B.

I cannot say enough great things about this SkinMD. The staff was amazing, and their services are amazing. I am so, so happy with how my nose came out, and I am now a lifetime customer of SkinMD and will be recommending SkinMD to everyone I know.
