What a Facelift Can Improve

  • Jowls and softened jawline definition
  • Midface laxity and descended cheek volume
  • Folds around the mouth (nasolabial & marionette lines)
  • Neck banding or fullness (often paired with a neck lift)

Approaches We May Discuss

  • Mini facelift for earlier laxity and quicker recovery
  • SMAS/Deep-plane-inspired tightening for durable, natural lift
  • Combination with eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or skin resurfacing for full-face harmony

Ideal Candidates

  • Healthy non-smokers with realistic expectations
  • Noticeable facial and neck laxity that fillers/skin care can’t correct
  • Ready for a longer-lasting surgical result (often 8–12+ years, individual results vary)

Why Patients Choose Dr. Dellinger

  • Refined, “you-but-rested” outcomes—never over-pulled
  • Customized surgical plan based on your anatomy, not a template
  • Private Austin facility and attentive aftercare

What to Expect

Consultation
In-depth exam, photography, and a tailored plan. We’ll review options (mini vs. full), anesthesia, and recovery.
Surgery Day
Incisions are placed discreetly around the ear/hairline. Under-the-skin support layers are lifted and tightened for a natural contour.
Recovery
Most patients return to light activity in ~1–2 weeks; swelling continues to refine over several weeks.
Results
Expect a refreshed, well-defined jawline and neck with improvements that look like you—just years younger.

Facelift FAQs

How long do results last?

While aging continues, surgical lifting of deeper support layers provides improvements that often last many years. Good skin care and sun protection help maintain your outcome.

Will I look natural?

Yes—our goal is to restore youthful structure without changing your unique features. Friends may notice you look rested, not “operated.”

When is a mini facelift enough?

Earlier laxity or a busy schedule may make a mini facelift appealing. During your consult, Dr. Dellinger will advise whether a mini or full approach best matches your goals.
