How Long Does a Facelift Last?

Signs of aging can reach a point where non-invasive treatments no longer give you the results you hope for. If lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity have become a source of stress, a facelift can help. This procedure restores your youthful features with effective, long-lasting results.

What is a Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, reverses signs of aging by lifting and tightening the skin and underlying structures. A facelift primarily addresses the mid and lower face. It can correct issues including loose skin, excess fat, sagging jowls, and deep lines such as nasolabial folds. A facelift makes an excellent option for those bothered by the effects of aging and ready to take a significant step to improve them.

How is a Facelift Performed?

During a rhytidectomy, the skin and underlying muscles are lifted and tightened. The skin is redraped over the facial structures to undo drooping and restore a firmer, more contoured appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Tenley Lawton performs facelifts at her accredited surgical center in Newport Beach. She will customize your procedure to address your concerns, making every facelift unique.

How Long Does a Facelift Last?

Your facelift will erase many signs of aging, but these will eventually reappear. Some people are satisfied with their facelift results for a lifetime. Others may wish to have another procedure to adjust their results in the future. A facelift usually lasts at least five to ten years. Using consistent sun protection and quality skincare products, you can prolong your facelift results.

How Much Does a Rhytidectomy Cost?

Rhytidectomy costs vary depending on several factors, including your provider and location. Average prices range from $5000 to $18000. Since each facelift is a customized procedure, Dr. Lawton recommends a consultation so she can assess your needs and the type of procedure you may need.

What is Recovery Like From a Facelift?

Swelling will improve significantly within the first four weeks, allowing you to begin enjoying your rejuvenated features.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

Good candidates for a rhytidectomy have moderate to severe signs of aging and want to see significant improvements. You may be a good candidate if you are in good health and have reasonable expectations. Dr. Lawton will assess whether a facelift is the best solution to your concerns.
