Our Patients Say It Best
Why Choose a Facelift?
Skin loses elasticity over time, and the resulting deep folds, sagging skin, and jowls can make you look older than you feel. A facelift restores a more youthful look. People choose facelift surgery to:
- Reduce deep wrinkles and folds around the mouth, jawline, and neck
- Lift sagging cheeks and restore natural contours
- Define the jawline and eliminate jowls
- Remove excess skin and tighten the neck for a smoother appearance
A facelift does more than reduce wrinkles—it rejuvenates your entire facial appearance while keeping you looking like yourself, just younger and more refreshed.
Best for: Patients with moderate to severe sagging, deep wrinkles, and skin laxity.
- Removes excess skin and smooths deep wrinkles
- Tightens underlying muscles for long-lasting results
- Provides the most dramatic and natural-looking transformation
Houston Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery offers full and mini facelifts to suit different goals and lifestyles:

What About a Neck Lift at Our Houston Practice?

Our team will provide personalized aftercare instructions for a smooth, comfortable recovery.
- Incision Placement: Your surgeon makes incisions around the hairline, ears, and sometimes under the chin for discreet healing.
- Tightening and Lifting: They reposition underlying muscles and remove excess skin.
