What is a facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce the signs of facial aging. The areas addressed with a facelift are the neck, jowls, and the cheeks. The facelift tightens the underlying muscle layer. After this is done, the excess skin is then removed. Dr. Bustillo often combines the facelift operation with additional procedures if needed. For example, because the face looses volume with time, a fat transfer procedure is often performed at the same time. Patients that may need to have their eyelids rejuvenated can also have a blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift done at the same time.

Facelift Before and After Photos

* Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.

Are all facelifts the same?

No! Dr. Bustillo customizes the facelift surgery for each individual. His signature deep plane facelift lifts the cheek fat back to its natural position and redistributes the excess skin. Because the lift works on the deeper muscle layer, patients never look pulled or stretched. Fat is often used to help replace the facial volume that the patients often lose with age. Dr. Bustillo almost always performs a Platsymaplasty as part of his facelift procedure. This portion of the surgery tightens the neck muscles and is essential to a well-defined neck.

When do I need a facelift?

There are three visible transformations that the aging face goes through as a result of the aging process. These are facial descent, deflation, and radial expansion. Descent refers to the inferior displacement of the facial soft tissues. Deflation refers to the loss of facial fat. Radial expansion is the loosening of the facial tissue. As the face ages, the layers of the face (skin, fat, and muscle) separate and loosen. A properly planned and executed facelift should address these in order to fully rejuvenate the face and neck.

As a consequence of the aging process, the facial skin and underlying tissues descend. This can be first seen in the midface, where the malar fat pad (cheek) begins to descend. This descent of the cheek fat has two effects. In the area between the lower eyelid and cheek, hollowness forms as the cheek fat descends. The other effect is the creation of the nasolabial fold. As the lower face ages, the jowls begin to appear as the facial tissues begin to descend forward and downward. The platysma muscle originates in the lower face and runs down the entire neck. This muscle descends in both the face and neck as we age. In the lower face, its descent creates the jowl. The jowl is actually the sagging front end of the muscle. In the neck, the platysma descends with aging, sometimes causing the bands that appear in the front of the neck.

The properly executed facelift procedure should elevate the midface, or cheek, to its natural position. This cheek elevation will restore the fullness to the area between the cheek and the lower eyelid. I believe that this is an area that certain types of facelifts fail to correct. It is also an area that, if corrected, can restore the youthful look to a face (Figure 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5, 6). The facelift should reposition the platysma muscle back to its original position, in order to correct the jowls. In addition, fat transfer is often used help shape the cheek to more youthful appearance.

 
 
 

The second visible change is deflation. This describes the hollowness that is sometimes seen in some areas of the aging face. Deflation can be due to either a loss of fat volume or a descent of the facial fat. The area underneath the cheekbone can undergo deflation in some patients. The surgical rejuvenation of the face must take into account these shifts in volume and attempt to correct them. The first step is the recognition, followed by a surgical plan aimed at repositioning the facial deep tissues to replenish the volume. This can be accomplished by either repositioning the fat during the facelift or by performing autologous fat transfer.

Radial expansion can be best described as the outward push seen in some areas of the aging face, which causes a loss of jawline definition. This is most commonly seen in the lower face in the areas of the jowls and the lower border of the jawbone. It is a consequence of the weakening the facial retaining ligaments. As they weaken, the tissues loosen and separate from the deeper tissues. This is a very difficult problem to fully correct surgically. The facelift technique must be able to elevate and secure the underlying deep tissues in order to recreate the definition of the jawline that is associated with youth.

My neck is sagging

The aging neck is one of the most challenging areas to treat in facial rejuvenation surgery. The transformations that occur in the neck as a result of the aging process are increasing skin laxity, inflation, and muscle descent. The facelift surgeon should plan and address these to maximally improve the neck contour.

The platysma muscle runs from the lower face and down into the neck. With aging, this muscle descends and may cause the neckbands that are commonly seen in the neck. In addition, the loosening of the muscle may add fullness in the neck below the jawline (Figure 7). The facelift procedure should address the muscle by tightening it centrally below the chin and laterally near the corner of the jawbone. This is commonly called a platysmaplasty.

The submental area, just underneath the chin, is an area where the accumulation of fat can cause inflation in the neck. Fat removal should be performed judiciously in order to sculpt the neck adequately, yet maintain a natural appearance (Figure 8, 9). Overzealous fat removal in this area can skeletonize the neck and allow the underlying neck structures to be visible through the skin.

 

Over time, the neck skin can loose elasticity and become lax. This leads to a redundancy of the skin over the neck. While the facelift procedure tightens the underlying neck muscles and removes the excess skin, it does not address the inherent laxity that the person’s skin may have. The person with excessive skin laxity may have a less then ideal result in the neck as a consequence. This patient may benefit from certain skin tightening non-invasive procedures after the surgery. It is a well-known fact that facelifts may not satisfy all patients in the neck area. The reason is usually excessive skin laxity, which surgery cannot address.

How is the facelift surgery performed?

There are many facelift techniques that have been developed over the years. Initially, the lifts were “skin only,” meaning that all of the pull was placed on the skin. The results were mostly short-lived. This led surgeons to search for more reliable and long-lasting techniques. The next advance came in the form of the SMAS facelift.

The SMAS (abbreviation for superficial musculo-aponeurotic system) is a fibrous layer underneath the skin of the face. It envelops the facial muscles. The SMAS technique involves the removal of a strip of the SMAS and the advancement of this layer to tighten the underlying tissues. This was a major advancement and improved the facelift results over the skin-only technique. However, there where still areas of the face and neck that the SMAS lift did not address. These areas were the midface and the neck.

The facelift technique that I have been using since I began practice is the deep plane facelift. This comprehensive lift allows the correction of the facial descent, deflation, and radial expansion that occurs in the aging face. The deep plane facelift involves the elevation of the SMAS and the facial muscles. After they are elevated, they are lifted, repositioned, and secured in their new position. The malar fat pad is elevated, allowing for the correction of the deflation and descent seen in the midface. In the lower face, the platysma muscle is elevated and secured to achieve a defined jawline, thereby eliminating the jowls and decreasing the radial expansion. In the neck, the fat is carefully removed and the platysma muscle is tightened centrally (below the chin) and laterally.

The deep plane facelift has several advantages over other facelift Miami techniques. The technique allows the repositioning of the malar fat pad (cheek) up to its youthful position. In addition, the jawline definition is greatly improved due to the muscle work that is performed in the lower face and neck. The most significant advantage, in my opinion, is the natural appearance that is attained with the deep plane facelift.

What is a mini facelift?

In recent years, the mini facelift has become very popular. Those that market them have given them “brand” names. The idea sounds promising. Mini is a term that is associated with easy and fast. However, the results are also usually “mini.” My belief is that if a person demonstrates signs of an aging face and wants a surgical solution, the procedure of choice is a facelift. I often see patients in my practice that had mini facelifts and are unhappy with the result. They ultimately end up having a facelift to improve the poor result they obtained from the mini facelift.

What is a non-surgical facelift? What is a liquid facelift?

A non-surgical facelift, also known a liquid facelift, is a procedure performed with injections to rejuvenate the face. It usually consists of Botox or Dysport used to improve the wrinkles in the upper third of the face. These include the glabellar lines (also known as the “elevens”), the crow’s feet, and the horizontal forehead creases. Dermal fillers are then used to elevate the cheeks and smooth the nasolabial and marionette folds. The downside of this treatment option is that it does not treat the sagging neck or heavy jowls.

Where are the scars from a facelift?

A facelift performed by me will not have visible scars. This is because I hide all incisions inside the hair, behind the tragus (post-tragal), and in creases. One of the biggest “tip-offs” to facelift surgery is a visible scar. Facelift scars may be visible for several reasons. The number one reason the scars are visible is due to excessive tension placement on the skin. When an incision is closed with tension, it heals poorly, and as a result, will widen (Figure 10, 11). A wide scar is always a visible scar. The surgeon should use a technique that places the pull and tension on the deep tissues. This skin closure should be meticulous and tension-free.

 
 

The second reason the facelift scar may be visible is placement. The incisions should be placed along natural curves, folds and inside the hair. They should not be placed in the hairline behind the ear, because they may be visible. I will describe the incision that I use in my facelift. The superior portion of the incision is placed inside the temporal hair, completely hidden (Figure 12a). As it comes down, it hugs the helix and enters behind the tragus (Figure 12b, 12c). The tragus is that small round or square cartilage in front of the ear. This part of the incision is known as a “post-tragal” incision, because it is hidden behind the tragus. This is in contrast to the “pre-tragal” incision used by some surgeons.

 

I believe that the post-tragal incision gives superior results, as it completely conceals this part of the incision. The incision then comes down a natural crease between the ear lobule and the facial skin. In back of the ear, it travels up in the crease behind the ear. It then crosses into the hair, where it is completely hidden. This allows my patients to wear their hair up without any scars being visible. Any incision outside this course has the potential to be visible (Figure 12d).

Will the shape of my ear change after a facelift?

When Dr. Bustillo performs a facelift, the natural shape and position of the ear will be maintained after the facelift. (Figure 13, 14, 15). The ear can change when the incisions are closed with tension or are improperly placed.

 

For example there can be changes to the tragus. The tragus can be pulled forward or simply removed. The ear lobule is a very delicate portion of the ear. It is fat-filled and the skin is very soft. It is therefore inherently weak and susceptible to stretching or pulling by the healing forces. The extreme case is the “pixie ear,” where the ear lobule is pulled inferiorly and blends with the face. It gives a surgical appearance and looks very unattractive. The surgeon must be meticulous in his incision placement and closure to avoid alterations in the shape of the ear.

 

Am I ready for a facelift surgery?

The majority of patients that undergo the facelift operation do so in their mid to late forties and on. Occasionally, patients with premature facial aging or weight loss will undergo the surgery at an earlier age. People are many times confused about what exactly a facelift corrects. This uncertainty can be compounded by the advent of the different types of lifts. The goal of a facelift procedure is to rejuvenate the neck, the lower face, and the mid-facial regions. A facelift repositions sagging facial tissues hereby achieving a more youthful appearance. A facelift does “not stop the clock, but it turns it back”; the natural aging process continues after the procedure.

The decision about having the facelift operation is a very important one. You should consult with your surgeon to see if you need a facelift and if he can provide the result you are looking for. Patients that undergo a facelift with Dr. Bustillo feel that they look refreshed and have an increase in confidence. They feel rejuvenated and feel more comfortable in social settings and in pictures.

The ideal patient should have the proper expectation before undergoing surgery. Although with the deep plane facelift technique, results are better than they ever were, there are still limitations. It is important that the patient have a good understanding of what can be achieved. For example, patients with poor skin laxity in the neck may not have a tight neck contour. Clear communication between the Dr. Bustillo and the patient is very important.

While most facelift patients enjoy the benefits of an improved face and neck, it is important to remember that surgery, like all other human actions, is not perfect. A skilled facelift surgeon can achieve near perfection. However, one must remember that the skin and soft tissues the surgeon works with can have inherent laxity and weakness.

How is the facelift consultation?

The consultation begins with a discussion about specific concerns that our facelift Miami patients may have about facial aging. It is important to discuss whether the facial aging has occurred slowly over time or recently in the last several years. Any recent weight loss or plans for weight loss are discussed so that the surgery can be planned at the appropriate time.

Dr. Bustillo will perform a thorough physical examination. The midface is evaluated for descent. Dr. Bustillo usually performs a fat transfer procedure at the same time to help with volume loss in the midface. The lower face and jowls are then palpated and mobility of the facial skin and tissues is assessed. The neck is then examined. The amount of fat and muscle descent is determined and the amount of skin laxity is assessed. The eyes and eyebrows are evaluated to see if the patient is a candidate for any other adjunctive procedure, such as a blepharoplasty or a brow lift.

Dr. Bustillo will then have a discussion about the result that he believes can be achieved with the facelift surgery. The patient should understand exactly what the facelift procedure will achieve for them so that an informed decision can be made. The procedure is explained in detail and all questions are answered.

  • Dr. Bustillo, I want to say how happy I am with your great job on my facelift. All of my friends comment on how great I look after the surgery. I keep looking at myself in the mirror being extremely happy. Again, you are an excellent person and surgeon. Thank you very much for a wonderful job! Sincerely.

How much does a facelift surgery cost?

The cost of a facelift varies from patient to patient, from doctor to doctor and from city to city. Jessica, our patient care coordinator will meet with you personally after the consultation. The cost of a facelift with Dr. Bustillo ranges from $16,675.00. This includes operating room and anesthesia. A board certified anesthesiologist (M.D.) from the Baptist Hospital Anesthesia Department provides the anesthesia.

How should I prepare for the facelift surgery?

Dr. Bustillo requires that all patients undergoing a facelift procedure obtain pre-operative labs and a medical clearance from their primary care physician before to surgery. Patients should stop taking all aspirin, anti-inflammatory products (naproxen, ibuprofen), and vitamins such as A, ginkgo biloba, and St. John’s wart ten days before surgery. Because they may affect blood clotting, they should be stopped ten days before surgery. Patients should also stop any alcohol five days before the lift surgery to decrease swelling and bruising. Dr. Bustillo recommends that patients start high dose vitamin C (2000mg/day) one week before surgery and two weeks after the facelift surgery, to help with the healing and to reduce bruising.

What type of anesthesia is used for a facelift surgery?

Dr. Bustillo performs the facelift surgery on an outpatient basis in his certified facility. Patients are allowed to return home or to a hotel the same day after facial rejuvenation surgery. Dr. Bustillo believes that patients recover best in a tranquil environment. All surgeries are staffed by board certified anesthesiologists (MD), which are part of the Baptist Hospital Anesthesiology Department.

The facelift procedure can be performed under either general anesthesia or IV sedation anesthesia, depending on the patient. Certain patients may require general anesthesia for safety reasons. The anesthesiologist will decide which type of anesthesia will be the safest for the patient. The facelift surgery takes about three hours to perform.

What are the facelift surgery risks?

The facelift operation, like all surgery, does have risks aside from those of anesthesia. The highest risk patients are smokers. Patients who smoke should refrain from smoking for approximately two weeks before the surgery. The nicotine patch is not a substitute for smoking cessation as far aesthetic surgery is concerned. Nicotine causes the small blood vessels to become narrower, which decreases the blood flow to the skin. The potential complication in a smoker is the death of the facial skin, resulting in a poor outcome with facial scarring and possible infection. The facelift surgery will not be performed on an active smoker.

A hematoma is a collection of blood that can accumulate under the skin. Although rare, it can occur after a facelift. The risk of hematoma is about 1%. The treatment usually entails draining it in the office. Most patients that have a hematoma after surgery recover well without any complications. Infections after facelift surgery are also rare. Patients are given antibiotics prior to surgery and after surgery to help prevent infections.

What is the facelift recovery like?

The patient is discharged home or to a hotel the same day after the facelift surgery. The first night should be spent relaxed. The patient should keep activity to a minimum. A liquid diet should be maintained for the first eighteen hours after anesthesia. The patient should keep the head elevated using two pillows to help reduce swelling of the face and neck. The patient should place small zip lock bags with frozen peas on the face every fifteen minutes for the first two days.

The face will be wrapped with a bandage used to keep the skin flat.Pain should be minimal. Tylenol is usually enough to control any minor discomfort. Additional pain medication will be provided, in the event that it is needed. Any significant pain should be reported to Dr. Bustillo immediately, as this may signal bleeding under the skin. If a blepharoplasty was performed, some mild bruising may be visible around the eyes.

The patient is then seen the morning after the lift surgery. The bandage will be removed on the first day after surgery. It is normal for some bruising to appear in the neck. A small bandage is then worn for one more day. On the fifth post-operative day, the small stitches in front of the ear and under the chin are removed. Patients can usually shower and wash their hair after this second visit.

Most patients return to work and daily activities about two weeks after surgery. Seventy percent of the swelling resolves in the first three weeks after the facelift. It is recommended that physical activity, such as running or lifting be resumed three weeks after the surgery. The remainder of the swelling can take up to three months to completely resolve. This remaining swelling is imperceptible.

The final results of the facelift surgery may not be completely evident until several months after the surgery. The results of a facelift operation usually turn back the clock approximately ten years and the results last about ten years. Dr. Bustillo will take before and after pictures and will give them to you once you are completely healed from the facelift operation. Most patients who undergo facial rejuvenation surgery are extremely happy with the results.

Facelift FAQs

What is a facelift?

A facelift is a plastic surgery procedure that aims to correct and improve several areas of the face and neck. The procedure elevates the midface (the cheeks), improves the lower face jowls, and defines the neck. In the neck it specifically corrects the platysmal bands that develop and picks up the sagging skin. A facelift, per se, does not correct the upper face. A browlift is the procedure of choice for that area. Dr. Bustillo commonly uses fat transfer to help augment and fill certain areas that the facelift may not address. The facelift does not improve the quality or the texture of the skin. For these issues, Dr. Bustillo may recommend a skin resurfacing technique such as a medium depth peel.

Who is the best candidate for a facelift?

Dr. Bustillo believes that the ideal candidate is one who is beginning to show the signs of aging. The common question that patients ask Dr. Bustillo regarding a facelift is, “Is it better to have your facelift done younger or older?” Well, this is something that Dr. Bustillo has struggled with for some time. In the early days of his practice, Dr. Bustillo thought it was a better idea to have patients wait some years before having their facelifts performed. However, over time he has seen that patients that have their facelift done at a younger age, typically have better results. The reason is that younger patients have better skin quality. Their skin has more elasticity and conforms better to the underlying facial and neck muscles. While there is no magic number, most patients have significant signs of aging at age fifty.

Are there any limitations to what a facelift can achieve?

Unfortunately, a facelift cannot stop the aging process. A facelift does not change the quality or texture of the skin. A facelift, can, however, give the patient a more freshened and rested appearance. A common question that patients ask Dr.Bustillo about the facelift procedure is “How much younger will I look?” Dr. Bustillo believes that the facelift procedure may turn the clock back and allow the patient to look approximately ten years younger.

What happens during a consultation for a facelift?

Miami plastic surgeon, Dr. Bustillo will personally meet with you during the one-hour consultation. He will spend time getting to know you personally, and thus be able to offer the best plan for you. He will then examine you, paying close attention to your specific signs of facial aging. Dr. Bustillo will then show you a gallery of before and after pictures of his patients that have gone through the facelift procedure (these patients have given him permission to show their results of the facelift operation). He will give you his recommendation and explain in every detail what it is he recommends and the techniques he will use. Dr. Bustillo is a firm believer that the patient undergoing a facelift procedure should know exactly what is going to be done, how and why. Next, Dr. Bustillo will explain what type anesthesia the anesthesiologist will be using and describe the entire process from the pre-operative stage to the recovery. You will then meet with the Jessica, the patient care coordinator, who will guide you through the scheduling process.

Where is facelift surgery performed?

Dr. Bustillo performs the facelift procedure in an AAAASF-certified facility. Dr. Bustillo only works with board-certified anesthesiologists.

What type of anesthesia is used for a facelift?

Dr. Bustillo believes that only a board-certified anesthesiologist should provide anesthesia in an office-based setting. The facelift procedure can be performed with either IV sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia. The anesthesiologist will evaluate you and determine which is the safest anesthesia for you.

How is the actual facelift procedure performed?

The facelift procedure begins with liposuction done through a tiny incision just behind the chin (some patients may not need liposuction). The incision is then made a tiny bit larger and the neck muscles are tightened. This produces a nice, taught, and contoured neck. The incisions are then made around the ear, in a post-tragal fashion. This means that the facelift incisions are hidden in specific areas, so that they become imperceptible when they are healed. The facial muscles are then tightened and elevated just the right amount. The skin is then draped over, trimmed and closed with very small stitches.

How long is the surgical time for a facelift?

Dr. Bustillo takes close to three hours to perform the facelift procedure.

Where are the incisions made for a facelift?

Dr. Bustillo takes great care to place the incisions in certain curves and corners, so that they become imperceptible once they are healed. In the area of the ear, he places the facelift incision “post-tragal” which means it goes behind the tiny cartilage that is just in front of the ear. Behind the ear, the incision is inside the crease and then into the hair. The advantage of doing it this way is that it does not end up in the hairline. A hairline incision can be visible when the hair is pulled up in a ponytail. For this reason, Dr. Bustillo does not use any hairline incisions in his facelifts.

Are there scars that result from a facelift?

Anytime an incision is made in the skin, there is a scar. That being said, there are visible scars and there are imperceptible scars. The scars that result from a facelift performed by Dr. Bustillo are imperceptible. This means they cannot be seen. There are three reasons why Dr. Bustillo’s facelift scars are almost invisible. First, Dr. Bustillo places these incisions in key places. Secondly, Dr. Bustillo does not place any tension on the skin. All of the “pulling” is done on the muscles. Third, Dr. Bustillo uses very small stitches to close the skin.

Is there much pain with a facelift?

Most patients that undergo a facelift procedure with Dr. Bustillo do not have much pain. As you may know, everyone is different, and there are some patients that will have some mild pain. Dr. Bustillo will prescribe pain medication to help with any discomfort you may have.

Will I need someone to help me out at home after the facelift procedure?

There should be someone with your for the first two days after a facelift. Dr. Bustillo recommends for patients to arrange for post-surgery help support from family members or friends.

What is the recovery like after a facelift?

The recovery for the facelift procedure is not as bad as most patients think it is going to be. Because the surgery is ambulatory, the patient is able to return home the same day of surgery. The first night is spent in bed, with two pillows to elevate the head. There will be a bandage dressing. In the morning of the day after the facelift, Dr. Bustillo will see you in his office. The dressing will be removed which will give instant relief. The patient will then return to the office five days later. On this visit, the small stitches underneath the chin and those in front of the ear will be removed. After this visit, you will see that a good deal of the swelling will subside and any bruising will begin to disappear. The next visit will be ten days later. At this visit, Dr. Bustillo will remove the stitches behind the ears. Most patients can return to normal activity, work, or school at fourteen days and are very presentable at this stage. Exercise can be resumed at three weeks after surgery.

When will I be able to return to work after my facelift?

Most patients that undergo a facelift with Dr. Bustillo can return to work at fourteen days.

How soon after my facelift will I be able to exercise?

Most patients that undergo a facelift with Dr. Bustillo can resume exercise at three weeks.

How soon after the facelift procedure are the stitches removed?

Dr. Bustillo will remove the stitches underneath the chin and in front of the ears five days after the facelift and then ones behind the ears ten days after the facelift.

What are the risks or complications associated with facelift surgery?

It is rare to have complications after a facelift performed by Dr. Bustillo. However, this is a surgical procedure and things can occur. Some of the potential complications associated with a facelift procedure are bleeding, scarring, infection, nerve injury, and poor healing. Dr. Bustillo will discuss these with you in consultation.

Are the results of a facelift permanent?

It depends on your definition of permanent! Yes, the results will stay with you forever. But, as you know, the aging process will not stop after a facelift. That being said, you will always look younger after your facelift than if you had never had one before. It is difficult to say how long the facelift will last, since everyone ages differently.

What types of facial makeup should I look into for covering bruising in the aftermath of my facelift?

Patients often ask me what is the best way to cover up bruising after plastic surgery. I recommend them to start using make up at about a week after surgery. The make up can be applied to the cheeks, jowls, and the neck. It should be light, liquid-based base concealer. Sephora has several that work very well. I do ask that the patient not apply the concealer to the incisions, as these need to heal without any substances being applied to them.

A protein S deficiency makes a person slightly higher risk for blood clots. Is a facelift a risky procedure?

Protein S deficiency is a blood clotting disorder that can place patients at a higher risk for blood clots. A hematologist should evaluate you to see if you can undergo elective surgery. If you are cleared for surgery, there are things we can do to help prevent a blood clot from forming. The procedure should be done with IV sedation and local anesthesia. This may decrease the risk of clot formation as compared with general anesthesia. SCD’s, or sequential compression devises must be used. These are “booties” that compress the legs and help prevent clot formation in the lower extremities. In addition, aspirin may be started forty-eight hours after surgery. In conclusion, you are at a higher risk for having complications associated with elective surgery, as compared with a patient without protein S deficiency. While the risks are likely low, this is a decision that you must make after discussing the surgery with your hematologist and surgeon.
