Facelift

Facelift surgery — standard, mini, lower facelift, or neck lift — to address facial sagging, jowling, nasolabial folds, and neck laxity. Performed by board-certified plastic surgeons at My Houston Surgeons, Houston, TX. Options include standalone neck lift for patients with primarily neck-and-jawline concerns. Financing available. Price on consultation.

Facelift surgery at My Houston Surgeons addresses the structural changes of facial ageing that non-surgical treatments cannot reverse: descent of the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) causing cheek volume loss and jowl formation, deepening of nasolabial folds, and loss of neck definition from platysmal laxity and submental fat accumulation. The practice offers a range of facelift options to match the degree of ageing, patient anatomy, and recovery tolerance. The mini facelift uses shorter incisions and a more limited SMAS plication to address early to moderate jowling and lower facial descent in younger patients or those seeking a less invasive option with a shorter recovery. The standard SMAS facelift elevates and repositions the SMAS layer as a separate anatomical layer from the overlying skin, producing a more durable result with a natural, non-operated appearance by correcting the structural foundation of ageing rather than simply tightening the skin. The lower facelift focuses specifically on the lower third of the face — the jowl line and jawline definition — and may be combined with neck lift for patients with significant lower-face and neck ageing. A neck lift as a standalone procedure is well-suited to younger patients with primarily neck concerns — platysmal banding, submental fat, or early skin laxity — without significant facial jowling. Recovery from a full SMAS facelift is approximately two to three weeks before appearing publicly comfortable, with most swelling and bruising resolving at three to four weeks and final results visible at three to six months. Financing is available for facelift procedures.
