Facelift
Rediscover a more youthful, refined version of yourself with facelift surgery tailored to elevate your natural beauty. Our approach focuses on restoring facial contours, improving sagging skin and jowls, and enhancing definition with sophisticated, natural-looking results.
Facelift Surgery at Weniger Plastic Surgery
A facelift is designed to restore a smoother, more refined appearance to the lower face, jawline, and neck by addressing visible signs of aging such as sagging skin, jowls, and deeper facial folds. When non-surgical treatments no longer provide the level of rejuvenation you desire, facelift surgery can offer beautifully lasting, transformative results.
Every facelift is thoughtfully customized to your unique facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Frederick G. Weniger takes a sophisticated, detail-oriented approach that restores youthful support beneath the skin while preserving your natural expressions and individuality. The result is a refreshed, elegant appearance that never looks tight, artificial, or overdone.
What a Facelift Can Improve
A facelift can help refine and restore the lower face by addressing sagging in the cheeks and jawline, the appearance of jowls, deeper folds around the mouth, loose skin beneath the chin, and diminished definition between the face and neck.
Rather than changing your appearance, the procedure is designed to subtly turn back the effects of time—re-establishing smoother contours and a more rested, refreshed look while preserving your natural expression and individuality.
During your consultation, Dr. Weniger will carefully evaluate your features and discuss what a facelift can realistically achieve, as well as whether a different or less invasive option may better align with your goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
You may be a good candidate for a facelift if you are experiencing visible signs of facial aging such as sagging in the midface, jowls, loose skin, or a loss of definition along the jawline and neck, and are seeking results that go beyond what non-surgical treatments can provide.
Ideal candidates are typically in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the surgical process, recovery, and outcomes. Factors such as skin quality, facial structure, and degree of skin laxity all play an important role in determining what can be achieved.
A personal consultation is the best way to determine whether facelift surgery is the right option for your individual goals and anatomy.

Your Facelift Consultation
Your consultation begins with a thoughtful, in-depth conversation about your concerns and your goals for improvement. Dr. Weniger will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, skin elasticity, degree of tissue laxity, medical history, and overall facial harmony.
You will receive a clear, honest explanation of your options, including what facelift surgery can realistically achieve and its limitations. This ensures you have a well-informed understanding and realistic expectations before making any decisions.
If surgery is appropriate for you, Dr. Weniger will review the recommended surgical approach, incision placement, anesthesia plan, expected recovery process, and any complementary procedures that may help enhance and refine your final result.

A Natural Approach to Facial Rejuvenation
A successful facelift should leave you looking refreshed, balanced, and naturally youthful—not tight, pulled, or unfamiliar.
Dr. Weniger focuses on restoring facial harmony by carefully repositioning the deeper support structures of the face and removing excess skin with precision and restraint. This approach enhances contour and definition while avoiding an over-tightened appearance that can result from relying on skin tension alone.
The goal is thoughtful, natural rejuvenation that complements your unique features and looks authentic in everyday life.
Customized Facelift Techniques
Every patient experiences aging differently. Some individuals notice more pronounced jowling, while others may have greater neck laxity, deeper facial folds, or a loss of definition along the cheeks and jawline.
Your surgical plan is thoughtfully tailored to your unique anatomy and may address deeper tissue support, excess skin, jawline refinement, and the transition between the lower face and neck. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the technique is selected specifically to match your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
This individualized planning helps create results that are balanced, natural, and appropriate for your features.

Combining a Facelift with Other Procedures
A facelift can be performed as a standalone procedure or thoughtfully combined with other treatments when it enhances overall facial harmony.
In some cases, patients may benefit from procedures such as a neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, facial fat grafting, or laser resurfacing. These complementary techniques can address areas that a facelift alone may not fully improve.
Dr. Weniger will carefully evaluate your goals and anatomy to determine whether combining procedures is appropriate or if a facelift alone will provide the most balanced and natural result.
Facelift Recovery
Most patients require approximately two to three weeks for the initial recovery period. During this time, swelling, bruising, tightness, and mild discomfort are normal parts of the healing process.
You will be provided with detailed post-operative instructions covering incision care, sleeping positions, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits. Carefully following these guidelines helps support a smooth recovery and minimizes the risk of complications.
As swelling gradually subsides and the tissues settle, your results will continue to refine. The final outcome typically becomes more apparent over the course of several months, revealing a natural, refreshed appearance.
