About Facelift Procedure
FACELIFT PLASTIC SURGERY IN ARIZONA
Rhytidectomy, more commonly known as a “facelift” or facelift plastic surgery, is the most popular surgical procedure used to restore and refresh the youthful appearance of the lower face, including the jawline, cheeks, and neck. It is common to combine surgeries like a brow lift or eyelid surgery to enhance their facial rejuvenation results. A rhytidectomy results in a more vibrant appearance and reverses signs of facial aging like fatigued eyes, jowls, deep plane wrinkles, and excess fat or loose skin, commonly known as “turkey-gobble” neck or “double chin.” Facelift plastic surgery also contours facial areas where sagging or relaxation of aging skin has occurred due to loss of collagen and elasticity.

Facelift Surgical Techniques to Consider in Arizona
ANTI-AGING COSMETIC PROCEDURES NEAR ME
Dr. Rod offers various facelift procedures to his clients depending on how dramatic the signs of facial aging are, their aesthetic goals, and particular areas of concern. The leading facelift surgical procedures are provided at Dermacare Plastic Surgery include:
“Comprehensive” or Full Facelift
A full facelift procedure is recommended for patients who show advanced signs of aging and are looking for dramatic facial rejuvenation results in one procedure. Dr. Rod will use extensive surgical techniques to reposition deeper facial tissues and remove excess fat or sagging skin. A full-face lift dramatically smooths skin, redefines wrinkles, and achieves a more elegant jawline, chin, and facial aesthetic.
Lower Facelift
A lower facelift addresses the bottom third of the face (jowls, jawline, and neck) to correct deep wrinkles and relaxed skin that causes jowls and an undefined neck. Skin and unwanted fat by the neck and jawline are surgically repositioned to create a more contoured, smooth, and refined face and jawline. It is especially effective in correcting neck banding or the “turkey gobble neck” appearance due to hereditary factors and the natural biological clock.
Mini Facelift
Many patients opt to have a mini-facelift when facial signs of aging start to occur. This procedure is less invasive and can correct mild signs of aging by removal of excess skin and fat on a smaller scale.
A mini facelift also helps to tighten loose facial muscles, creating a more firm, youthful, and rejuvenated look.

Facelift Procedure Process Explained
Facelift surgery begins with the administration of sedation by one of our Board-Certified Anesthesiologists and local anesthesia by Dr. Rod at Dermacare Plastic Surgery. We guarantee that our rhytidectomy patients will have a comfortable visit and feel minimal pain or discomfort for the duration of their surgery.
During the rhytidectomy, Dr. Rod will create virtually invisible incisions around the hairline, ears, chin, and possible problem areas below the jawline. Once the incision is made, excess skin or fat along the cheeks, jowls, and jawline are then separated from underlying muscle and tissue. The remaining facial tissue is tightly repositioned and sutured into place to create a more contoured, firm, and well-rested facial structure without a “draped” or “windblown” look. The skin is then repositioned and the excess removed.
Dr. Rod has spent countless years polishing his facelift surgical techniques, helping patients rejuvenate facial volume, firmness and restore the heart-shaped face of youth in a long-lasting and natural way. His “no-skin-tension” technique allows him to perform the surgery in a way that facilitates the healing process and adequately preserves his patient’s facial enhancements results for years to come.
What should I Do in Preparation For a Facelift?
At Dermacare Plastic Surgery, we want our patients to be well-educated and adequately prepared for their life-changing facelift surgery. Dr. Rod will help you relax by explaining the rhytidectomy process in detail and answering all your pressing questions during a consultation.
Prior to your facelift, you will need to:
● Undergo a medical evaluation or lab testing.● Adjust current medications or start taking new medications.● Stop smoking well before your surgery.● Stop taking anti-inflammatory drugs or supplements which may increase bleeding.
How Long Does a Facelift Procedure Take?
Depending on your facelift surgery design, a rhytidectomy takes about 3 to 5 hours. Dr. Rod will take the time needed to achieve your aesthetic goals.
What Should I Expect in Terms of Recovery After My Facelift?
Dr. Rod will give clear instructions on preventative facelift recovery measures in your pre-op visit. A patient can play a huge role in the maintenance of their facelift results by thoroughly following Dr. Rods post-surgical instructions, which may include:
● Allow sufficient time to recover. You can be up and walking 1-2 hours after your operation.
● Wear the recommended recovery bandages.
● Apply ointment and change bandages accordingly.
● Take prescribed antibiotics or pain medications.
● Use of icepacks to reduce swelling.
● Best products and skincare routine to facilitate healing.
● Instructions for eating, sleeping, and bathing comfortably.
● Refrain from alcohol or smoking for 2 weeks.
● Expect to see full facelift results once the healing process is complete.
How Long Will the Results Last?Is There a Chance I’ll Need to Get Another Facelift in the Future?
Facelift procedures can have immediate, dramatic, and long-lasting results. Patients who have had a rhytidectomy say they feel 10 years younger and are ecstatic with their results! A facelift can last up to 10 years or more if a patient religiously follows a recommended skin routine, uses proper sun care, and maintains a healthy weight and lifestyle.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to stop time. Sutures holding the skin will never come undone, but the deeper layers of muscle and skin will continue to lose elastin and collagen. All the same, you will look younger and more vibrant post-facelift for years to come. Dr. Rod will generally see you one year after surgery and as needed thereafter.
