Facelift in Las Vegas

Smooth, lift, and restore your youthful features.

Aging naturally affects our skin’s elasticity and muscle tone, leading to sagging, deep wrinkles, and volume loss. These processes are often accelerated by factors like sun exposure, stress, smoking, and weight fluctuations, which can cause us to look older than we feel. 

However, modern cosmetic surgery advancements allow us to address these concerns effectively. In the vibrant city of Las Vegas, where maintaining a youthful appearance is often prioritized, facelift procedures have become increasingly popular among individuals seeking to rejuvenate their facial features and regain a more youthful appearance.

*Individual results may vary.

How is a Facelift Performed?

Facelift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure at our accredited surgical facility with the patient under general anesthesia.

Carefully placed incisions are made in front and behind the ear and continue around the hairline

deep tissues are repositioned

excess skin and fat are removed from the face

The underlying tissue and muscles are tightened to create long-term results. The skin is repositioned, re-draped and closed, resulting in a tighter, smoother, natural appearance. Facelift surgery typically takes around four to six hours to complete.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging by tightening sagging skin, repositioning underlying facial muscles, and removing excess fat to restore youthful contours. Depending on the patient’s specific needs, Dr. Stile offers:

  • Traditional facelift: Addresses moderate to severe aging by lifting and tightening the skin across the face and neck.
  • Mini facelift: A less invasive option that targets sagging skin in the lower face and jawline, ideal for patients with early signs of aging.
  • Deep plane facelift / SMAS facelift: Focuses on lifting the deeper facial layers (SMAS) for a more long-lasting and natural result.

Each facelift is customized to address individual concerns, allowing patients to achieve rejuvenation while maintaining a natural appearance.

Whether you’re considering a traditional full facelift, a mini-facelift, or a combination of procedures to address specific concerns, Stile Aesthetics offers personalized solutions to help you achieve your aesthetic goals and face the world with renewed confidence.

The benefits of a facelift extend beyond mere aesthetic improvements. Many patients report increased self-esteem and renewed confidence following their procedure. In Las Vegas, where personal and professional interactions often place a premium on appearance, a facelift can provide a competitive edge and a boost in social situations.

Dr. Stile and his team at Stile Aesthetics understand the importance of achieving natural-looking results that complement your overall facial harmony. They employ state-of-the-art techniques and technologies to ensure optimal outcomes, minimal scarring, and a quicker recovery.

A facelift is one of the most comprehensive and effective procedures available for reversing visible signs of aging. By tightening the skin, repositioning underlying muscles, and removing excess fat, a facelift can address several concerns:

  • Skin laxity: Loose, sagging skin around the face that leads to jowls or a double chin.
  • Deep wrinkles: Lines around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds) or forehead creases.
  • Loss of facial volume: Areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline that appear hollow or flattened due to aging.
  • Tired appearance: Looking older or more fatigued than you feel, caused by cumulative aging factors and lifestyle.

Lower Facelift
A lower facelift specifically targets sagging skin and jowls in the lower portion of the face. It is ideal for patients who want to refine their jawline and neck but do not require a full facelift.

Mini Facelift
A mini facelift is a less invasive option for those with early signs of aging. It targets mild to moderate sagging in the lower face and jawline using smaller incisions and a shorter recovery period, making it an excellent option for younger patients or those who don’t need a full facelift.

Deep Plane Facelift
The deep plane facelift repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue, including the SMAS, to provide longer-lasting and more natural results than a traditional facelift. This technique restores deeper facial structures for a more natural lift without over-tightening the skin.

Revision Facelift
Dr. Stile offers revision facelift surgery for patients dissatisfied with the results of a previous facelift. This procedure addresses issues such as asymmetry, scarring, or incomplete correction, helping patients achieve a more refined and balanced appearance.

A traditional facelift addresses the entire face and neck, making it ideal for individuals with significant sagging. A mini facelift focuses on the lower face and jawline, targeting early signs of aging with smaller incisions and a quicker recovery time.

A facelift is a multi-step procedure performed under general anesthesia, typically taking 4-6 hours. The surgery involves:

  • Incisions: Strategically placed in natural creases around the ears and along the hairline to ensure that scars are well hidden.
  • Muscle tightening/repositioning: The SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) and deeper tissues are tightened to create a firmer foundation for the face.
  • Skin re-draping: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is re-draped over the newly lifted structure for a natural, youthful appearance.

Dr. Stile uses advanced techniques to ensure that the face looks refreshed and not overly tight, avoiding the “pulled” look often associated with outdated facelift methods.

On the day of your surgery:

  • You will be administered anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
  • Dr. Stile will make the planned incisions and carefully reposition facial muscles, remove excess tissue, and re-drape the skin to achieve your desired result.
  • The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home the same day with detailed post-operative care instructions to support your recovery.

Yes, a facelift is typically performed under general anesthesia for maximum comfort and safety. However, in less extensive procedures like a mini facelift, local anesthesia with sedation may be an option.

As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, scarring, nerve injury, and prolonged swelling. Dr. Stile takes every precaution to minimize risks and ensure a safe, successful procedure

The cost of a facelift varies depending on factors like the complexity of the surgery and whether it is combined with other procedures (such as brow lift or fat grafting). Dr. Stile’s team will provide a personalized cost estimate during your consultation, including anesthesia and post-surgery care fees.

The ideal candidates for a facelift are individuals who have begun to notice significant signs of aging, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and volume loss. Candidates should also:

  • Have realistic expectations for their results, seeking a youthful appearance without looking overdone.
  • Have some skin elasticity and a strong bone structure.
  • Be in good overall health without medical conditions that could hinder healing.
  • Be non-smokers (or willing to quit before and after surgery for better healing).

There is no specific “best age” for a facelift. The timing depends on each person’s unique concerns and how their skin ages. Facelifts are commonly performed on individuals in their 40s to 60s, but younger and older patients can also benefit based on their skin laxity and goals. Dr. Stile will evaluate your candidacy during your consultation.

Yes, facelifts are often combined with other cosmetic procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Popular options include a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or fat grafting to restore lost volume and achieve balanced, youthful results.

After surgery, patients can expect:

  • Swelling and bruising: This is normal and peaks within the first two weeks before gradually subsiding.
  • Support garments: Worn for 2-4 weeks to reduce swelling and support healing.
  • Discomfort: Mild to moderate pain can be managed with prescribed medications.
  • Return to normal activities: Most patients resume normal activities, including work, after two weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least four weeks to ensure proper healing.

Dr. Stile’s team will monitor your progress and support you throughout your recovery to ensure the best possible outcome.

You will begin to notice improvements about 3-4 weeks after surgery as the swelling subsides. However, the full results typically take several months to become fully apparent as your skin and tissues heal.

To maintain your facelift results, follow a healthy lifestyle, use sun protection, and consider non-surgical treatments like Botox or dermal fillers to address any new signs of aging.

Facelifts typically provide long-lasting rejuvenation, with results often maintaining a youthful appearance for ten years or more. While individual outcomes may vary based on factors like skin quality and lifestyle, many patients extend their results through maintenance treatments such as dermal fillers or Botox. These minimally invasive procedures, combined with good skincare and healthy habits, can help preserve your refreshed look for years after the initial facelift.

Thanks to modern surgical techniques and careful incision placement, facelift scars are usually well-hidden and fade significantly over time. Dr. Stile’s advanced methods ensure that scars are as inconspicuous as possible, allowing patients to enjoy their results without concern for visible scarring.
