Neck Lifts
A face lift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck.

Results
A face lift can be a great option for removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, and repositioning the skin for a more youthful appearance. Choosing to have a face lift surgery offers several benefits, including a smoother, more youthful look that aligns with your aesthetic goals. A face lift can help reduce sagging skin, smoothen deep folds, and restore lost facial volume, resulting in a naturally “refreshed” appearance.
Additionally, patients can expect long-lasting results, especially with proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle. At The Lucas Center for plastic surgery, our goal is for you to feel rejuvenated and confident, whether you're entering a new phase of life or simply wanting to look your best every day.

What is the recovery time?
Recovering from a face lift typically involves multiple stages. Most patients can engage in light activities after about 2 weeks, though strenuous activities should be postponed for 4-6 weeks. Initial swelling and bruising are normal but will gradually decrease over time.
To ensure a swift recovery, it’s important to follow the guidelines provided by board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Jay Lucas. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and adhering to a good skincare routine will also help extend the longevity of your face lift results, allowing you to enjoy your refreshed appearance for many years.
