Facelift (EVELift® & Traditional)

Eden Plastic Surgery offers both traditional facelift and the proprietary EVELift® — a SMAS facelift combined with a corset neck lift performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation. The procedure targets the lower face, jowls, jawline, and upper neck to restore a lifted, youthful contour. Variants include mini facelift, male facelift, and revision facelift. Most patients return to video calls within 3–4 days and feel fully recovered within 6 weeks.

At Eden Plastic Surgery Institute in Miami, Dr. Ali Charafeddine offers a comprehensive range of facelift solutions for patients seeking significant facial rejuvenation. The signature EVELift® is a proprietary technique combining a SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) facelift with a corset neck lift — both performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation rather than general anesthesia, which reduces overall risk and speeds recovery. Bandages and drains are removed on day one, and most patients manage post-operative discomfort with over-the-counter Tylenol rather than prescription painkillers. The traditional facelift at Eden addresses sagging skin, deep facial folds, jowls, and looseness along the jawline and upper neck by removing excess tissue and repositioning the underlying structural layer of the face. This produces long-lasting, natural-looking results that avoid the tell-tale pulled look often associated with older techniques. For patients in their 40s to early 50s with milder laxity, the mini facelift offers a less invasive option with a faster return to normal activity. Dr. Charafeddine also performs male facelifts, which require a distinct approach to account for facial anatomy differences and beard-line incision placement, as well as revision facelifts for patients seeking correction after previous procedures elsewhere. Ideal candidates for facelift surgery at this Miami clinic are healthy non-smokers who wish to address visible signs of facial aging with long-lasting surgical results. The practice serves patients from across South Florida as well as international medical tourists who travel to Miami for surgery with a board-certified specialist. Recovery timelines at Eden are designed to minimise disruption — the EVELift technique was specifically developed to allow patients to return to light activity and video calls within days rather than weeks.
