Surgical Lifts

Also known as a rhytidectomy, a surgical facelift shapes a more youthful facial appearance by addressing visible signs of aging, including sagging skin, deep folds, and jowls.

We can tailor your surgical facelift using everything from traditional methods that extend into the lower scalp to limited incisions that provide a “mini facelift.”
During the procedure, your surgeon carefully separates the skin from the underlying tissues, then tightens and repositions the layer. This creates the foundation for natural-looking and long-lasting results without over-stretching the skin.

For a deep plane facelift in Atlanta, our surgeon can also remove excess fat in the jowls and neck. The superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) is trimmed, plicated and re-draped for newly contoured tissues and a natural facelift result.

After closing the incisions with fine sutures, our surgeon may insert temporary drainage tubes to reduce swelling.

Minimally Invasive Lifts

For a lift that’s less invasive and has a shorter recovery time, many patients choose FaceTite.

Using advanced radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) technology, we tighten skin and reduce fat in the face and neck. The FaceTite procedure starts by creating tiny, discreet incisions (typically 1 to 2 mm across) behind the ears or under the chin.

We insert a thin probe (cannula) through these discrete openings. Simultaneously, an external electrode glides over the surface of your skin. Radiofrequency energy between the internal and external probes, creating heat between them.

2 Benefits in 1 Procedure

This controlled thermal increase produces a dual action. First, it melts unwanted fat cells, which we gently suction out of the treatment area. Second, it causes collagen fibers in the skin and underlying tissues (SMAS layer) to contract, creating a noticeable tightening effect.

As you recover from this procedure, your skin also naturally produces more collagen and elastin to promote a lasting lift with minimal downtime.

Noninvasive Lifts

For a version of a facelift in Atlanta that doesn’t involve extensive procedures and recovery time, our nonsurgical options offer excellent, temporary results.

RF microneedling, Botox, dermal fillers, and other non-invasive treatments can reduce sagging, lines and other signs of aging without a single incision. Though they don’t deliver the dramatic and long-term results of a surgical facelift, these treatments can create positive enhancements for more subtle transformations.

How Do You Choose a Facelift Type?

When you visit us for a consultation, we take time to understand your unique goals and anatomy to create customized plans that deliver natural, balanced results. Our experience in both surgical and nonsurgical techniques offers full-spectrum care you won’t find anywhere else.
