Aging, sun damage, or even genetics causes our faces to develop deep lines and wrinkles. One way to combat these changes to your face is through our San Francisco facelift. This surgical procedure makes incisions along your hairline and behind your ears to allow the surgeon to pull the skin of your face to lift your deep folds and tighten your features.
The facelift is the gold-standard surgical treatment for significant facial aging. The skin on the face droops and the underlying muscles loosen with age, and this effect is even more pronounced on the neck and the sides of the face in areas called the jowls. Drooping or sagging facial features can add years to your outward appearance despite how youthful and energetic you feel on the inside.
While aging is natural, there's no need to feel uncomfortable in your skin or as if you're looking at a stranger in the mirror. A Facelift provides a long-lasting solution that gives you renewed confidence and satisfaction in your appearance.

The best way to start down the path to a transformed face is to schedule a consultation. Dr. Miranda is a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Franciso with extensive experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. During your facelift consultation, you will be told all about what a facelift procedure includes and how it will provide the results you are looking for. This is a great time for you to ask questions and plan out your personalized procedure.
Schedule a ConsultationSteps to take before your facelift appointment will be discussed during your personal consultation. For your best surgery and recovery experience, we strongly encourage you to follow the steps outlined during your consultation.
Plan to take time out from work or your daily routine after the operation. Because you have incisions along your face, it's essential to minimize your activities for at least a week following surgery to allow them to heal and reduce the risk of infection.
After a facelift, you can return to your regular daily activities after about a week - depending on how you feel - but you should continue to avoid any strenuous movement for at least a month. You will also need to wear sunscreen as your skin will experience increased sensitivity after the procedure.
Once bandages are removed, you will notice smoother, youthful features. Final results will set in after a month or two once the swelling has decreased and your face has settled into its new position. The incredible outcome achieved by our San Francisco facelift surgeons will last you years! The best way to keep your face looking young and healthy is by ensuring you live a healthy lifestyle. This means eating well, exercising and treating your skin with care. Sunscreen is a life-saver when it comes to preserving skin and preventing premature aging.
A high SPF will block out harmful UV rays that lead to decreased levels of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin keep your skin looking full and help features remain in a youthful location. Sunscreen is crucial for preserving your skin's health and vibrance! UV rays also lead to the development of hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin. Using sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days, will keep your skin looking bright and even-toned for a long time. Our surgeons will walk you through steps to keep your facelift results looking great for years to come!
A mini facelift requires only a small, short incision along the hairline and behind each ear. This facelift method is ideal for men and women with jowls and sagging in the lower half of the face. Through the shorter incision, skin on the lower face will be excised and lifted to provide a more defined jawline and smooth face.
A full facelift often requires a longer incision that starts in the hairline and ends at the ears. Incisions are made discreetly in the natural contours of the face to keep your results flawless. Stretched skin will be removed and the leftover skin will be pulled back and allow your neck and mid-face appear smooth and younger. A full facelift produces more dramatic results and is ideal for men and women with sagging skin along their lower face and neck.
Because this is a surgical procedure, there are costs associated with anesthesia and post-operative care to make sure there are no complications. In addition, the cost of a lower facelift will relate to the cutting-edge techniques used to achieve your best outcome.
Generally speaking, the price of a Facelift varies according to the type you get and how much skin needs to be removed. This includes a Mini Facelift, a Mid-Facelift, a Lower Facelift, and a full Facelift. At PPSG we recognize that everyone has specific aesthetic concerns that accompany their unique appearance. A treatment plan will be personalized for you based on these two factors. The cost of your treatment will be particular to you and reflect the customizations we implement to achieve your best results. A cost breakdown will be discussed in your personal consultation.
If you are not sure if you're ready for surgery, you can consider some less invasive alternatives that can also be effective ways to combat wrinkles and folds on your face, albeit for a shorter amount of time. They include the following:
Botox is currently the most popular non-surgical option used for the face. These injections use a toxin that relaxes the facial muscles around the eyes and forehead to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, to maintain results, regular injections are recommended.
Facial Fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and more involve adding an injectable filler to plump out folds and wrinkles to reduce their appearance, which results in making your face look younger. The main difference with these fillers is the formula used to make their individual brand of injectables. As with Botox, the best way to maintain results is through multiple treatments.
Facial implants involve creating longer-lasting results by inserting an implant - usually made of silicone - under your skin and attaching it to the underlying bone. This implant then subtly reshapes your features, stretching the skin and reducing lines and wrinkles.
Fat transfer is similar to dermal fillers, except instead of injecting another substance into your face, this involves using your own fat tissue to reduce folds, lines, and wrinkles. This process is also known as fat grafting and is a bit more invasive than facial fillers because fat must first be extracted from one part of your body before being injected into your face.
Profound RF Microneedling advances the concept of microneedling by applying radiofrequency (RF) energy to precise areas of the skin and deeper tissues. Profound has been clinically proven to induce regeneration of the face and neck by causing the body to naturally increase and restore its own collagen and elastin production. Collagen provides renewed structure and support to the face and elastin restores the "snap-back" of youthful skin.
Fractional laser technologies can also restore and improve the surface texture and lines of the facial skin.
While there is no true replacement for the dramatic improvement that a facelift can provide, these options are still effective alternatives that can restore youthful contours in order to provide satisfactory results for you.
A facelift will last you years! The techniques involved in the facelift surgery means your result will be long-lasting. With less saggy skin and lifted features, you will look picture perfect in no time!
A facelift surgery should not be a painful surgical experience. Anesthesia is used during surgery to ensure you do not feel major discomfort. We prioritize your health and care and will make sure you are comfortable throughout your procedure. During recovery, you will be kept comfortable with the use of prescribed medications. These medications will help you rest and sleep well during your post-operative healing period. We encourage you to call our office at any time to ask questions or discuss a possible concern.
Facelifts are often chosen by people in their forties or higher, but people at a wide range of ages of are pursuing cosmetic procedures to preserve their youth.
