As we age, the tissues of our face and neck lose elasticity and weaken.
The volume of our features deflates and shifts downward, creating a sagging, aged appearance. The results of these multi-layered and multi-vectored downward shifts can be seen in the widening of the lower face along the jawline, sagging jowls, and laxity of the skin of the face and neck, which can make many people begin to look older than they feel.
We have all seen these changes in those around us and too often we accept them as inevitable. However, we know there is a progression to these changes and it is no longer necessary to yield to the captive effects of time and gravity. Today, more than ever, there are techniques and interventions that can alter this progression.
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. By removing excess skin, repositioning underlying tissues, and tightening facial muscles, a facelift restores definition and smoothness to your facial contours.
At Belcara Health, we understand that most patients want to look like themselves, only improved and more youthful. By using a comprehensive, customized approach, we are able to give patients the refreshed, natural-looking, youthful changes they desire, without showing the signs of surgery or intervention.
Our Maryland facelift surgeons evaluate all aspects of your facial appearance, from brow to neck, and recommend a treatment plan that counterbalances the downward shifts of skin and volume that meets your personal needs. By addressing all your features together as a whole, and not as isolated entities, your surgeon will be able to restore complete facial harmony and provide you with a more youthful, natural-looking result.
The multi-vector lift approach to facial contouring re-establishes the natural curves and lines of the cheeks, face, jawline, and neck without disruption or irregularities. It relies on the re-positioning of existing tissues to restore volume for the subtle curves and lines that create a natural-looking, youthful appearance.
We’re often asked about “liquid facelifts.”
A liquid facelift refers to non-surgical procedures designed to temporarily restore a more youthful appearance. These minimally invasive treatments offer subtle, natural-looking, age-defying results for wrinkle correction, facial contouring and restoring lost volume. Using a range of injectable products including Botox, fillers, and Sculptra – as well as fat transfer procedures using your own natural fat – liquid facelifts can effectively reduce the signs of aging quickly and with no downtime. They do require maintenance appointments every six to 18 months depending on the treatment used. Our leading specialists in facial enhancement will work with you to determine a treatment plan that suits you and your goals.
At Belcara Health, our goal is to help you achieve a naturally youthful appearance that is long-lasting. In our experience, a balanced, comprehensive approach helps patients achieve their goals most effectively. Each patient has unique needs, and frequently other procedures are combined with a facelift for a more complete rejuvenation, including the following:

A facelift is typically performed under moderate sedation or general anesthesia. An incision is usually placed along the hairline by the temple, then it courses in front and behind the ear in a natural skin crease and ends along the hairline behind the ear. This incision is designed to hide in natural skin creases and minimize scarring while providing the necessary access to lift and re-position the sagging tissues of the face and neck. By using the multi-vector approach, a facelift provides youthful transformations that are more comprehensive and natural looking in a safe and proven technique that is usually performed in just a few hours.
A facelift addresses various signs of aging, including sagging skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, and loss of jawline definition. It also smooths folds around the nose and mouth and restores volume to areas that appear hollow or sunken. Whether you’re seeking to correct age-related changes or achieve a refreshed appearance, a facelift can significantly enhance your overall look.
A facelift delivers long-lasting rejuvenation, restoring smoothness, definition, and firmness to your face and neck. The procedure not only reduces wrinkles and sagging but also enhances facial harmony and boosts confidence. By tailoring the approach to your specific needs, Belcara Health ensures natural-looking results that help you look as young as you feel.
Patients considering a facelift should be in good general health, should not smoke cigarettes, and should have a realistic understanding of what can be accomplished with the procedure. Facelift surgery cannot stop the aging process – instead, it is meant to “turn back the clock” a few years. During your initial consultation, your Belcara Health Plastic Surgeon will discuss your concerns, goals, medical history, and expected results with you and determine the best treatment plan to meet your needs.
Following your procedure, you will be able to rest in the comfort of your own home. Because you will have been under anesthesia, you must have someone to drive you home after surgery. It may take several hours for the anesthesia medication to wear off, so expect to be groggy for a while.
Every patient’s recovery is different and depends upon the extent of their personal treatment plan. You may experience some bruising or swelling in the first few days following surgery, but these typically resolve in 1-2 weeks.
Your surgeon will give you thorough instructions that are tailored to your individual case, but in general, patients can expect the following:

Incisions are strategically placed in discreet areas, such as along the hairline or behind the ears, to minimize visible scarring.
With proper care, facelift results can last up to 10 years. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle prolongs the effects.
A facelift primarily focuses on the lower face and neck. For wrinkles around the eyes, procedures like a brow lift or eyelid surgery may be incorporated into your procedure. Our surgeons work with each patient to create a treatment plan tailored to their unique needs.
Patients can typically resume wearing makeup around two weeks post-surgery, depending on healing progress.
There is no specific age for a facelift. The procedure is based on individual needs, typically for those in their 40s to 60s experiencing significant signs of aging.
Improvements are visible once swelling subsides, typically within 2-3 weeks, with final results emerging over several months.
