Facelift (Signature Lift™, Mini Lift & Neck Lift)

Atlanta Face & Body offers three facelift variants tailored to different levels of facial ageing: the Signature Lift™ (deep-plane-style full facelift addressing sagging skin and volume loss), the Signature Mini Lift™ (less invasive under local anaesthesia with quicker recovery), and the Signature NeckLift™ targeting loose neck skin. All procedures are performed by Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker in the practice's AAAHC-accredited in-office surgical suite in Atlanta.

Atlanta Face & Body's flagship offering is its suite of facelift procedures performed by Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has completed over 6,000 facelift procedures across her career. The practice operates from an AAAHC-accredited in-office surgical facility in Atlanta's Cobb Galleria corridor, providing a private and medically rigorous environment for facial rejuvenation surgery. The Signature Lift™ is the practice's primary full-facelift technique, employing a deep-plane-style approach that repositions underlying muscle and fat rather than simply pulling skin. This addresses sagging along the mid-face, jawline, and upper neck while preserving a natural, rested appearance. Recovery involves initial swelling and bruising resolving over several weeks, with most patients returning to social activities within two to three weeks. For patients with earlier signs of ageing or those preferring a less invasive option, the Signature Mini Lift™ is performed under local anaesthesia. It targets laxity in the lower face and jowl area with shorter incisions and a faster recovery arc, making it a popular choice for patients in their early to mid forties. The Signature NeckLift™ focuses exclusively on submental fullness, platysmal banding, and loose neck skin — concerns that often persist independently of mid-face descent. It can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with the full Signature Lift™. Dr. Whitaker trained under Dr. Calvin Johnson Jr. at Tulane University, widely regarded as a pioneer of deep-plane facelift technique, and has served as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Medical College of Georgia since 2002. The practice has received repeated recognition from Modern Luxury Best of Atlanta and Top Doctors Magazine (Georgia). Pricing is consultation-based; an initial $100 consultation fee is applied toward treatment costs.
