Facelift & Neck Lift

Perimeter Plastic Surgery performs full SMAS facelifts, neck lifts, mid-face lifts, and mini facelifts under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Surgery takes 2–3 hours and sutures are removed at 5–10 days. Patients typically return to work within two weeks and achieve full recovery around six weeks. Results are designed to last 8–10 years.

The facelift and neck lift program at Perimeter Plastic Surgery in Atlanta addresses sagging jowls, loose neck skin, deep nasolabial folds, and overall facial volume loss through a range of surgical approaches. Dr. Mark F. Deutsch, MD, FACS offers four distinct techniques: the full SMAS facelift that repositions the underlying muscular layer for a natural, long-lasting correction; the neck lift that targets platysmal banding and submental fat; the mid-face lift focusing on the cheek and periorbital area; and the mini facelift for patients with early laxity who want a shorter recovery. All procedures are performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation in an accredited outpatient surgical setting. Operative time is typically two to three hours. Sutures are removed at five to ten days, and most patients feel comfortable returning to office work at two weeks. Bruising and swelling resolve progressively over six weeks, with final results settling at three to six months. The volumetric repositioning technique Dr. Deutsch uses avoids the pulled or windswept appearance associated with older lift methods. Because pricing depends on the combination of procedures and the extent of correction required, a consultation at the Atlanta office on Johnson Ferry Road is required for an individualized estimate. Patients traveling from outside Georgia appreciate the practice's proximity to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, approximately 30 minutes by highway. Financing through CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit is available. Dr. Deutsch has received Castle Connolly Top Doctor recognition for ten consecutive years (2016–2025).
