Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

The Best Facelift Surgeon in Scottsdale

When there’s something you don’t like about the way you look, you may try to conceal the issue. For example, some choose clothing which makes them feel less self-conscious, or they avoid showing that part of their body in public.

However, this is a little more difficult when it comes to facial conditions caused by aging, which is why more people than ever are considering facelift services. In fact, according to a report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, facelifts were the fifth most common cosmetic procedure in the US last year, with 131,106 carried out in total – a 4% increase from the previous year.

Otherwise known as a Rhytidectomy, a facelift can target specific facial issues, including smoothing loose skin on the neck and face, removing excess facial fat, and tightening underlying tissues. The impressive result is a fresher, firmer appearance.

Dr. Mazaheri is a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon who puts his clients’ needs at the heart of his services, ensuring you understand your options, and find the best course of action for your personal situation.

About the Facelift Procedure

A facelift smoothes the loose skin on your face and neck, tightens underlying tissues, and removes excess facial fat. As a result, your face will appear firmer and fresher. Rejuvenation procedures typically performed in conjunction with a facelift are brow lift, to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow, and eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes.

Are You a Candidate for a Facelift?

You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you have one or more of the following conditions:

Sagging in the middle of your face
Deep creases below the lower eyelids
Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth
Fat that has fallen or has disappeared
Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can give even a person of normal weight the appearance of a double chin

The loss of youthful contours in the face can be due to a variety of factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions, and stress.

What a Facelift Will Not Do

As a restorative surgery, a facelift does not change your fundamental appearance and cannot stop the aging process.

A facelift can only be performed surgically; non-surgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time at which a facelift becomes appropriate and complement the results of surgery.

PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY

Due to patient confidentiality concerns, I do not have any before and after photos of facial surgery on my web site. During your consultation, I would be happy to show you before and after photos of patients who have provided their consent. Thank you for your understanding of my policy as your privacy is of the utmost importance to me.

Common Questions and Concerns

What happens during a facelift consultation?

When you first come to visit us, Dr. Mazaheri will take the time to discuss your personal goals, concerns, and which parts of your body you’d like to improve. If considering a facelift, he’ll conduct a detailed facial examination to determine the causes of problem areas and recommend the best procedure to yield desired results.

Once you’ve decided on the right procedure, Dr. Mazaheri will take you through the details of the surgery and the next steps.

What is a facelift procedure?

As you age, youthful contours in the face start to change for a variety of reasons. This includes stress, heredity reasons, gravity, lifestyle (e.g., smoking), and environmental conditions such as sun damage. Whatever the reason for your facial changes, it can leave you feeling low in self-confidence.

What are the benefits of a facelift?

Facelifts can’t stop the aging process, but they do have a variety of benefits.

Look rejuvenated and fresh faced
Improves visible signs of aging
Smooth sagging skin on both the face and neck
Can be undergone alongside other facial rejuvenation procedures

What are rejuvenation procedures?

If undergoing a facelift, you may also wish to consider other facial rejuvenation procedures such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). A brow lift serves to correct a deeply furrowed or sagging brow and improve wrinkles in the forehead area. The procedure places eyebrows in a better position for a youthful, alert appearance. Eyelid surgery will rejuvenate aging eyes by removing excess fat and skin from around them to achieve a more rested, youthful appearance. You may choose to have this if you have fine wrinkles under the lower eyelid, sagging skin above the upper eyelid, or bags under the eyes. Having several procedures together will help create your desired look in full.

Once you’ve decided on the best course of corrective action, your surgeon will be able to provide you with an accurate quotation for the surgery.

Our care doesn’t stop after surgery. Dr. Mazaheri and his friendly team provide you with all the support and advice you need to make a fast recovery, aid healing, and ensure you have optimal results. We’ll also provide you with the right aftercare to minimize swelling and facial bruising. We may also give you instructions for looking after incision sites at home. It may take a few weeks for you to heal, and results continue to improve over the next few weeks and months as your face recovers from the surgery.
