Restore youthful definition and facial balance with personalized facelift surgery performed by the board-certified plastic surgeons at PSG in Surrey, British Columbia.

A Personalized Approach to Facial Renewal

At PSG, our board-certified plastic surgeons help patients rediscover a refreshed, more youthful version of themselves through modern facelift surgery. Over time, the natural ageing process causes the skin to lose elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging around the jawline, deeper creases around the mouth, and loosened tissue in the neck. A facelift (rhytidectomy) restores balance, definition, and smoothness to the lower face and neck. By tightening underlying tissues and carefully repositioning the skin, our surgeons achieve results that appear naturally rejuvenated rather than dramatically altered. Each procedure is carefully tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring you still look like yourself—simply refreshed and more confident.

What a Facelift Can Improve

Facelift surgery addresses several of the most common visible signs of facial and neck aging. Depending on your individual concerns, the procedure may help improve:

Sagging skin along the jawline and lower face
Deep smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines
Jowls and loss of jawline definition
Loose neck skin or the appearance of a double chin
Volume loss in the mid-face and cheeks

Your surgeon will create a personalized surgical plan based on your facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals to achieve refined, natural-looking results.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

You may be a good candidate for facelift surgery if you:

Are in good overall health and do not smoke
Have moderate to significant skin laxity in the lower face or neck
Desire a natural rejuvenation rather than a drastic change
Have realistic expectations and a positive outlook

A facelift is best suited for those who wish to restore youthfulness without appearing over-corrected.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

During your private consultation, your plastic surgeon will:

Evaluate your facial structure and areas of concern
Review your medical history and discuss your lifestyle goals
Explain the various facelift techniques and what to expect before, during, and after surgery
Recommend complementary procedures for a balanced, refreshed appearance

Your consultation is designed to educate and empower you to make an informed, confident decision about your care.

Facelift Techniques and Options

All facelift procedures are performed under general anaesthetic and typically take four to six hours. Our surgeons customize each surgery to match your degree of facial ageing, skin elasticity, and desired outcome.

Traditional Facelift

The traditional facelift is the most comprehensive approach for addressing sagging skin, jowls, and deep facial folds. Incisions are discreetly placed along the hairline and around the ears, sometimes extending under the chin. The surgeon lifts and repositions the deeper facial layers (known as the SMAS), removes excess skin, and redrapes the tissues for a smooth, natural contour.

Mini Facelift

A mini facelift targets early signs of ageing in the lower face and jawline. This less invasive procedure uses shorter incisions and involves a quicker recovery. It is an excellent choice for patients seeking subtle improvement without extensive downtime.

Mid-Facelift

A mid-facelift focuses on rejuvenating the cheeks and mid-face area. Using small incisions near the lower eyelids, the surgeon repositions fat and soft tissue to restore youthful fullness and soften deep creases around the mouth.

Combination Procedures

To achieve a more complete rejuvenation, facelift surgery can be combined with:

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) to correct sagging or puffy eyelids
Brow Lift to elevate drooping brows and smooth forehead lines
Neck Lift to tighten the neck and improve definition under the chin
Facial Fat Grafting to restore lost volume in the cheeks and temples

Combining procedures creates balanced results with a single recovery period.

Schedule A Consultation

Preparing for Surgery

Before your facelift, you will attend a preoperative visit to discuss what to expect and how to prepare. Your care team will review medications, post-operative care, and all recovery instructions. Patients are advised to:

Avoid smoking before and after surgery
Stop taking blood thinners, anti-inflammatory drugs, and certain herbal supplements (such as ginkgo biloba,
St. John’s Wort, and high-dose vitamin E) two weeks before surgery
Arrange for someone to drive you home and assist during your initial recovery period

Recovery Timeline and Expectations

Following surgery, you can expect mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising that gradually improve over several weeks. Prescribed medication helps manage temporary soreness during the early stages of healing. Typical recovery milestones include:

Light activity: Within a few days
Return to work: Two to three weeks
Resume exercise: After six weeks
Final results: Three to six months after surgery

Patients typically wear a soft facial dressing during the first few days to minimize swelling and support healing. As swelling resolves, facial contours become more defined, revealing a smoother, firmer, and naturally refreshed appearance.

Potential Risks

All surgeries carry some degree of risk. Facelift complications are uncommon, particularly when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Possible risks include:

Temporary swelling or bruising
Numbness or tightness in the face or neck
Infection or bleeding
Asymmetry or mild contour irregularities
Scarring (typically minimal and easily concealed)

Your surgeon will discuss all risks during your consultation and provide detailed instructions to promote safe healing.

Frequently Asked Questions Facelift

How long do facelift results last?

Most patients enjoy results that last ten years or longer, although the natural aging process continues gradually over time.

Will I look unnatural after surgery?

No. Surgeons focus on preserving natural facial expression and balance so patients look refreshed rather than overdone.

Is there a lot of scarring?

Incisions are carefully placed within the hairline and along natural facial creases, making scars subtle and easy to conceal once healed.

Can a facelift be combined with non-surgical treatments?

Yes. Many patients choose to complement or maintain their facelift results with treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, or laser skin therapies.
