Facelift & Neck Lift

Dr. Athré performs deep plane, SMAS, RT Mini, and his signature 4D Facelift™ — a combination of deep plane lifting, fractional laser resurfacing, and autologous fat transfer completed in one operative session. The clinic performs over 100 facelift procedures per year for a single-surgeon boutique practice. Results typically last 10–15 years. Surgeon fee starts at $35,000 for the deep plane facelift and $45,000+ for total facial rejuvenation. Neck lift starts at $17,000.

Facelift surgery at Athre Facial Plastics in Houston, TX is anchored by Dr. Athré's proprietary 4D Facelift™, a same-session combination of deep plane face lifting, fractionated laser skin resurfacing, and autologous fat grafting. This single-anaesthesia approach addresses all four dimensions of facial ageing — laxity, volume loss, skin quality, and gravitational descent — simultaneously, reducing total recovery burden compared to staging the procedures separately. The deep plane technique repositions the SMAS muscle layer rather than simply pulling skin, producing a more natural and longer-lasting result than older superficial SMAS or skin-only lifts. Dr. Athré also performs the RT Mini Facelift, a shorter-scar option suited to patients in their late 40s or early 50s who have moderate laxity but are not yet candidates for a full deep plane procedure. With more than 100 facelift procedures performed annually, the practice operates at a volume level that keeps surgical and anaesthesia teams highly proficient. The clinic is affiliated with Memorial Hermann Southeast and Northwest hospitals in the Houston metro area. Recovery: most patients resume normal daily activities within two weeks and return to social events within three to four weeks. Final results settle over six months as residual swelling resolves. Results are reported to last 10–15 years depending on the patient's skin quality and lifestyle factors. Surgeon fees start at $35,000 for the endoscopic or deep plane facelift, $45,000+ for total facial rejuvenation combining all techniques, and $17,000 for an isolated neck lift. Facility and anesthesia fees are charged separately. Financing is available. Out-of-town Houston facelift patients are supported with dedicated travel resources on the clinic website, and Spanish-language consultations are available.
