Understanding Facelifts: Your Path to Youthful Vitality
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at giving a more youthful appearance by reducing sagging skin and wrinkles on the face and neck. It involves repositioning and tightening underlying tissues, removing excess skin, and reshaping the face to counteract the effects of aging. Ideal for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation, it requires consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss goals, expectations, and potential risks.

Types of Facelifts
Preservation Facelift
The Preservation Facelift focuses on lifting the deep structures of the face while minimizing skin damage, leading to natural results and faster social recovery. Dr. Shah is among the few U.S. surgeons who specialize in this technique.
Deep Plane Facelift
Ideal for severe drooping and skin folds, the deep plane facelift lifts deep facial structures along with the skin for natural reshaping, particularly effective for heavy jowling and softening nasolabial folds, requiring a surgeon with specialized skills.
Traditional Facelift (SMAS)
Targeting the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system, this standard facelift involves extensive incisions to reposition and tighten muscle and skin, addressing significant displacement due to aging.
Mini Facelift
Offering quick correction for the middle and lower face with shorter incisions, the mini facelift suits those seeking minor improvements, often as a precursor to a more comprehensive facelift.
Skin-Only Facelift
This technique focuses solely on removing excess skin to tighten the face without altering muscle or fat, ideal for those with good muscle tone and fat distribution but experiencing skin elasticity loss.
Ultralift
Developed by Dr. Shah, the Ultralift uses a surgical ultrasound system for fat melting and skin tightening, offering rapid recovery and natural-looking results without the extensive downtime of traditional facelifts. It is used in combination with a facelift to enhance the long-term outcomes.

Are You a Candidate for a Facelift?
People looking for a facelift usually want to fix loose skin on their face, especially around the cheeks and neck. A facelift can help with different areas, based on what you need. While age plays a large part in determining who can be a candidate for a facelift, there are other factors. In truth, everyone has their own reasons for wanting a facelift, and there are many types of facelifts to choose from. However, to be considered a viable candidate for a facelift, patients must be healthy, not smoke, and have realistic expectations about what the surgery can do — facelifts can make you look younger, not young.
Navigating Your Facelift Journey: From Consultation to Recovery
Most of Dr. Shah’s patients choose to have their facelift surgery performed under local anesthesia in the office. Sometimes, facelift procedures are performed in an accredited surgical facility with general anesthesia. Even though this is considered an outpatient procedure, there are some cases where the patient stays overnight for monitoring. It is normal to experience bruising and swelling after the surgery, and patients will feel as if their face is being pulled tight. This subsides within a couple of weeks. Optimal results will be evident after several months. It is important that activities are limited to help create a safe and quick healing process.
Post-Facelift Care: Tips for a Smooth and Swift Healing Process
Following your procedure, we will monitor your health until you can be safely released to be taken home by a responsible adult. Prior to your procedure, Dr. Shah or someone on his team will schedule your follow-up visits and discuss tips to help you recover faster and more comfortably. You should expect to have bruising and swelling, some moderate soreness, and discomfort, which can be reduced by pain medication. You should feel and look normal after several weeks and will see a more youthful look with fewer lines, wrinkles, and sagging. In all, your face will appear lifted and rejuvenated.
