What is a Facelift?

A facelift, or a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the visible signs of facial and neck aging. It involves lifting and tightening the deeper layers of facial tissue, repositioning fat, and smoothing the skin to restore youthful contours.

Dr. Grover uses advanced techniques, such as deep plane and SMAS facelifts, to ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results. Depending on your needs, the facelift may focus on the lower face and neck or address the entire face for a comprehensive rejuvenation.

Types of Facelifts

Dr. Grover offers several types of facelift techniques to suit different patient needs:

The American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), the largest and most recognized national organization of

  • Deep Plane Facelift: This technique targets the deeper layers of the face, releasing ligaments and lifting the skin, fat, and muscle to achieve a more dramatic and long-lasting result.
  • SMAS Facelift: By tightening the superficial muscular layer beneath the skin, this facelift achieves natural-looking results that enhance facial contours and reduce sagging.
  • Mini Facelift: For patients with mild signs of aging, the mini facelift uses smaller incisions and less extensive lifting to refresh the appearance of the lower face and jawline with minimal downtime.

What Are The Benefits Of A Facelift?

A facelift in Orange County & Newport Beach with Dr. Sanjay Grover offers numerous benefits that go beyond just reducing the signs of aging. For example, thanks to Dr. Grover's expertise in placing incisions in discreet locations—such as around the ears, within the hairline, and under the chin—any resulting scars are minimal and well-hidden. Over time, these scars fade and become nearly invisible, allowing you to enjoy the procedure's benefits without noticeable marks.

Some other key advantages include the following:

  • A facelift tightens loose skin, smooths out deep wrinkles, and lifts sagging facial tissues, creating a rejuvenated and youthful appearance
  • A facelift can take years off your appearance, helping you look as vibrant and youthful as you feel
  • With advanced techniques like the deep plane and SMAS facelifts, Dr. Grover ensures that the results are natural, avoiding the “pulled” or overly tight look
  • This creates a more authentic, youthful contour that enhances your natural beauty
  • While injectables like BOTOX® or dermal fillers may last a few months to a year, a well-performed facelift can maintain its results for up to 10 to 15 years
  • This long-term rejuvenation makes it a worthwhile investment for those looking to enjoy the benefits of youthful, refreshed skin for many years

Am I a Candidate for a Facelift?

Ideal candidates for a facelift are individuals experiencing moderate to severe signs of aging in the lower face and neck. This may include sagging skin, jowls, deep wrinkles, or loss of facial volume. Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations for the results, and be non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery. A consultation with Dr. Grover will determine the best approach for your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.

What To Expect During Your Facelift

During your facelift, Dr. Grover will make discreet incisions, often hidden around the ears and within the hairline. He will lift and reposition the underlying muscles and tissues through these incisions, remove excess fat, and re-drape the skin for a smoother, firmer appearance. The surgery typically lasts between three to seven hours, depending on the extent of the procedure, and is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation in an accredited surgical facility.


Complementary Procedures

For a comprehensive facial rejuvenation, a facelift may be combined with other procedures such as:

  • Brow Lift: Lifts the forehead and smooths wrinkles for a more youthful, open expression.
  • Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Corrects drooping upper eyelids and reduces under-eye bags for a refreshed look.
  • Neck Lift: Tightens loose skin and addresses muscle banding in the neck for a firmer profile.
  • Fat Grafting: Restores lost facial volume by transferring fat from other body areas to the face.
  • Laser Skin Resurfacing: Improves skin tone, texture, and clarity to enhance your facelift results.

The Facelift Recovery

Dr. Grover will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. In general:

  • Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first week following a facelift
  • You should plan to take one to two weeks off from work
  • Final results become visible after three to six months as swelling subsides and the skin settles into its new position
