What Is a Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reposition the deeper support structures of the face and neck while removing excess skin. Modern techniques concentrate on reinforcing the underlying muscular layer, commonly referred to as the SMAS, which allows for meaningful correction without placing tension on the skin itself.

Incisions are carefully placed within the hairline and along natural ear contours to maintain discretion. The deeper tissues are elevated and secured, redundant skin is conservatively excised, and the remaining skin is re-draped to create clean, natural lines. When appropriate, fat transfer may be incorporated to restore volume in the cheeks and mid-face for a more complete rejuvenation.

Benefits of a Facelift

Sharper jawline contour: Restores definition along the lower face.
Smoother neck transition: Tightens laxity beneath the chin for a firmer profile.
Reduction of deep creases: Improves prominent nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Elevated mid-face position: Repositions descended cheek tissue to a more youthful level.
Improved facial-neck continuity: Creates a seamless transition between the face and neck.
Durable rejuvenation: Provides long-lasting correction that matures naturally over time.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

Patients who notice pronounced jowling, deep facial folds, sagging along the jawline, or neck laxity that no longer responds to non-invasive treatment may benefit from a facelift in Bellevue. Candidates should be in good overall health and realistic about recovery. During a detailed evaluation, Dr. Egrari determines candidacy based on tissue quality, structural changes, and the degree of correction required to achieve a balanced result.

Facelift Patient Testimonial

I gave him my aging face with drooping eyelids, wrinkles, sagging brow, double chin and emerged a new woman! The "volumetric facelift" was rejuvinating and nearly everyone I see asks if I have done something to my skin.....that I look younger....they can't tell I had plastic surgery!

Your Consultation

Your consultation begins with a comprehensive facial assessment and an in-depth discussion of your aesthetic priorities. Dr. Egrari evaluates skin elasticity, soft tissue descent, muscle tone, and volume distribution before outlining a tailored operative plan. Preparation guidelines, recovery milestones, and anticipated refinements are reviewed in detail so you have a clear understanding of each phase of care.

How Much Does It Cost?

Facelift surgery is a highly individualized procedure, and pricing reflects the complexity of correction, operative time, anesthesia requirements, and any complementary techniques performed concurrently. Following your consultation, you will receive a precise quote based on your customized surgical plan. Our team provides a detailed breakdown of associated fees to ensure clarity at every stage.

What to Expect During Your Facelift Procedure

Facelift surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or monitored sedation, depending on the surgical plan. Incisions are positioned within natural anatomical borders to preserve concealment. The foundational facial structures are lifted and secured, excess skin is removed, and the jawline and neck are refined to restore youthful contours.

When indicated, additional refinement, such as fat transfer, may be incorporated to support mid-face projection. Throughout the procedure, emphasis is placed on preserving natural movement and avoiding overcorrection.

Facelift Recovery and Results

Following surgery, light supportive dressings are applied and typically removed within the first postoperative day. Swelling and bruising are most noticeable during the initial phase and progressively resolve over the next several weeks. Sutures are commonly removed within five to seven days.

Most patients feel prepared to resume professional and social activities in approximately two weeks. As residual swelling subsides, contours become increasingly defined, with continued improvement over the following months. Results are designed to withstand the natural aging process and maintain structural improvement for many years.

Mini Facelift

The mini facelift targets early laxity of the lower face with shorter incisions and focused tissue elevation, making it appropriate for patients seeking moderate correction with limited downtime.

Standard Facelift

This technique addresses moderate to advanced descent of the mid-face and neck through comprehensive lifting and redraping of facial tissues.

Extended Facelift

An extended approach allows for more expansive elevation of the mid-face and cheek region, providing advanced correction for significant tissue descent while preserving facial harmony.
