Facelift
Refresh your appearance with facelift surgery designed to improve sagging skin, jowls, and facial definition while keeping your results natural.
Facelift Surgery at Weniger Plastic Surgery
A facelift can improve visible aging in the lower face, jawline, and neck. It is often the right option when loose skin, jowls, and deeper folds can no longer be improved well with non-surgical treatments.
At Weniger Plastic Surgery, facelift surgery is planned around your anatomy, skin quality, and goals. Dr. Weniger focuses on restoring support beneath the skin so your results look refreshed, not tight or overdone.
What a Facelift Can Improve
A facelift may help improve sagging along the cheeks and jawline, jowls, deeper folds around the mouth, loose skin under the chin, and loss of definition between the face and neck.
The procedure does not change who you are. It helps restore cleaner contours and a more rested appearance while preserving your natural facial character.
During your consultation, Dr. Weniger will explain what a facelift can realistically improve and whether another approach may be better for your concerns.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
You may be a good candidate for facelift surgery if you have visible facial sagging, jowls, loose skin, or softened jawline definition and want a longer-lasting result than non-surgical treatments can provide.
Good candidates are generally healthy, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about surgery and recovery. Skin quality, facial structure, and the degree of laxity all affect what kind of result is possible.
A consultation is the best way to know whether facelift surgery is right for you.

Your Facelift Consultation
Your consultation starts with a clear conversation about what bothers you and what you hope to improve. Dr. Weniger will evaluate your facial anatomy, skin elasticity, tissue laxity, medical history, and overall facial balance.
You will receive a straightforward explanation of your options, including what facelift surgery can and cannot do. This helps set realistic expectations before any decision is made.
If surgery is appropriate, Dr. Weniger will review the recommended technique, incision placement, anesthesia, recovery timeline, and any complementary procedures that may support your result.

A Natural Approach to Facial Rejuvenation
A strong facelift result should look refreshed, balanced, and believable. It should not make your face look pulled or unfamiliar.
Dr. Weniger’s approach focuses on repositioning deeper facial tissues and removing excess skin with careful judgment. This helps improve facial contour while avoiding the tight look that can come from relying on skin tension alone.
The goal is natural rejuvenation that fits your face in real life.
ustomized Facelift Techniques
Every patient ages differently. Some patients have heavier jowling, while others have more neck laxity, deeper folds, or loss of cheek and jawline definition.
Your surgical plan may address deeper tissue support, excess skin, jawline contour, and the transition between the lower face and neck. The technique is selected based on your anatomy, not a one-size-fits-all method.
This customized planning helps create improvement that looks appropriate for your features.

Combining a Facelift with Other Procedures
A facelift can be performed by itself or combined with other procedures when there is a clear benefit.
Some patients may benefit from a neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, facial fat grafting, or laser resurfacing. These procedures address areas that a facelift may not fully correct on its own.
Dr. Weniger will explain whether combining procedures makes sense or whether a facelift alone is the better choice.
Facelift Recovery
Most patients need about two to three weeks for the initial recovery period. Swelling, bruising, tightness, and mild discomfort are common during the first stage of healing.
You will receive detailed instructions for incision care, sleeping position, activity limits, and follow-up appointments. Following these instructions closely can help support proper healing and reduce avoidable issues.
Your results will continue to refine as swelling fades and the tissues settle. Final improvement usually becomes more apparent over the following months.
