When a facelift is done right, it is practically impossible to tell that someone has had facial surgery with a casual glance. A good facelift helps its recipient to look youthful and vibrant, but not tight, windswept, or overdone.
If you’re considering facelift surgery, of course you want the best possible results. These tips can help you avoid common pitfalls so you can look naturally refreshed after your procedure.
Know What You Want
What do you hope to look like after facelift surgery? Figuring out your hopes and goals for the procedure goes a long way towards making those dreams a reality. You won’t get something that you don’t know you want.
Communication with your surgeon about your expectations and the results you’re likely to experience is essential for achieving the best results. Our patients are happiest with their results when they know what to expect and what they want before surgery.
Work with the Best
Plastic surgery is both art and medicine. To achieve your best results from facelift surgery, you need a surgeon with impeccable operating skills and an artistic eye. Your results directly depend on the skill and expertise of your surgeon.

Enhance Your Results
A facelift can dramatically turn back the clock on your appearance, but it likely isn’t the only facial rejuvenation you’ll ever need. Turn to other cosmetic treatments to enhance, extend, and maintain your facelift results.
Dr. Yegiyants can provide specific recommendations for enhancing your appearance during your consultation. Popular post-facelift cosmetic treatments include:
- Injectables – Botox® and dermal fillers are ideal for extending and enhancing the results from facelift surgery. These injectable treatments can smooth wrinkles, volumize the face, and reestablish youthful facial contours.
- Microneedling – Build more collagen in your skin with microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy. This treatment uses small needles to puncture skin and encourage collagen growth.
- Laser Rejuvenation – Better skin is a laser treatment Our powerful laser fades sun damage and scarring while improving skin tone and texture. While a facelift addresses facial structure and skin laxity, laser treatments can improve skin quality to enhance your overall result.
Take Care of Your Skin
Better skin leads to better facelift results. Regular skincare can improve the appearance of your skin.
Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. Daily cleansing, moisturizing, and a serum or two are usually all you need for beautiful, radiant skin. If you need help choosing products, let us know and we can recommend products for your skin type.
Don’t forget the sunscreen. The sun’s UV rays are a primary cause of premature aging. Dr. Yegiyants recommends that all patients use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, rain or shine.
