Facelift

Dr. Beale performs facelift procedures using SMAS layer lifting techniques for natural, long-lasting results. Options include standard facelift, mini facelift, deep plane facelift, ponytail facelift, revision facelift, and neck lift — often combined in a single procedure. Recovery typically involves seven to ten days of initial downtime, return to work within one to two weeks, and results that last ten or more years. Pricing is determined at consultation.

A facelift at Dr. Evan Beale's Dallas practice goes beyond surface tightening. Dr. Beale works at the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer — the structural foundation of the face — rather than simply pulling skin, which produces more natural results that age gracefully over time. This approach distinguishes his technique from older, overly tight-looking outcomes that patients want to avoid. The practice offers several facelift variants to address different degrees of facial aging and patient anatomy. The mini facelift is suited to patients with early jowling and mild laxity who want a faster recovery. The deep plane facelift addresses more significant mid-face descent and is favored by patients with pronounced nasolabial folds or heavy jowls. The ponytail facelift is a minimally-incised approach that repositions soft tissue with limited scarring. For patients who have had prior surgery, revision facelift correction is also available. Neck lift procedures — including the deep plane neck lift — are frequently combined with facelift to address platysmal banding, submental fat, and skin laxity below the jawline. These combined procedures are often more cost-effective than staging them separately and allow for a single recovery period. Facelift recovery at this Dallas practice follows a predictable course: the first seven to ten days involve bruising and swelling managed with elevation and rest; most patients return to office work within one to two weeks; and full activity resumes after four or more weeks. Longevity of results is typically ten or more years. The practice cites a US national benchmark of $7,000 to $15,000 or more for facelift procedures; exact pricing for DFW patients is discussed at the initial consultation. CareCredit financing is available.
