Facelift San Francisco

Dr. Maas performs a full spectrum of facelift procedures including his signature Deep Plane SMASplasty Facelift, lower facelift, mid facelift, mini facelift, neck lift, and revision facelift. The extended SMAS technique preserves natural hairline positioning and conceals incisions behind the ear cartilage, avoiding the pulled or windswept appearance common in less sophisticated techniques. Non-surgical facelift options combining injectables and laser are also available.

The Maas Clinic in San Francisco's Pacific Heights is widely regarded as one of the Bay Area's foremost destinations for facelift surgery. Dr. Corey S. Maas, double board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, has refined his approach over 30 years to deliver outcomes that look refreshed and natural rather than operated upon. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of facelift procedures tailored to each patient's anatomy and goals. The signature Deep Plane SMASplasty Facelift addresses laxity at a deeper tissue level than standard SMAS techniques, repositioning facial fat compartments and muscle to restore youthful facial contour with longer-lasting results. The lower facelift targets the cheekbone-to-neck zone for patients with primary jowling and neck laxity, while the mid facelift restores volume and contour to the central face. For younger patients or those seeking a touch-up, the mini facelift addresses jawline definition and marionette lines through smaller incisions with faster recovery. Neck lift procedures combine liposuction with platysmal muscle tightening to define the jawline and eliminate neck banding. Revision facelift surgery — correcting unsatisfactory prior results — is a subspecialty strength of Dr. Maas, who receives referrals from across California and internationally for complex correction cases. Surgery is performed at the on-site SF Rejuvenation Center, an accredited outpatient surgery centre at 2402 Clay St., directly adjacent to the main clinic. Recovery involves moderate swelling and bruising for approximately one week, with most patients returning to social activities at 10–14 days with makeup coverage. Full results settle over 6–12 months. A consultation with Dr. Maas is required to discuss procedure selection and pricing, which is customised to the complexity of the procedure and any planned combination treatments such as eyelid surgery or fat transfer.
