A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging in the face and neck. It tightens loose skin and underlying muscles to create a firmer, lifted, and more youthful look.
Our Toronto facelift procedure may be ideal for you if you are concerned about these common signs of facial aging:
Each procedure is tailored on a case-by-case basis and may be combined with a brow lift, blepharoplasty, or CO2 laser treatment to focus rejuvenation on the upper face.
At FORM Face + Body, we stay up-to-date with modern techniques and draw upon precision surgical expertise to place small incisions discreetly around your ears and hairline, minimizing visible scarring.
For a more comprehensive and striking transformation, Dr. Brandt, Dr. Somogyi, or Dr. Jalil can combine your facelift with other facial surgery procedures, such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery. Our expert surgeons can help you determine the best approach for your goals.
You have options, and we tailor them to your features, goals, and schedule.
A SMAS facelift tightens the superficial muscular layer to refine jowls and soften folds without pulling the skin. A deep plane facelift releases deeper ligaments so we can elevate the cheeks vertically, helpful for midface heaviness and longer-lasting change. A mini facelift uses shorter incisions and focuses on early jowling for a faster recovery and subtle lift.
During your initial consultation at our Toronto office, we demonstrate the capabilities of each facelift method using mirrors and Crisalix imaging, and then recommend the least invasive approach that best meets your goals. When it serves you, we blend techniques to match your anatomy and downtime.
There is no single “right age,” but the best facelift candidates in Toronto want a natural look and can follow aftercare closely. You do well if you are healthy, a nonsmoker (or can pause), and keep a stable weight. Skin with some elasticity responds best, and realistic expectations make the experience smoother.
You might be ready for a facelift if you notice jowling, neck banding, or midface heaviness that no longer improves with injectables. We confirm candidacy together in person and build a plan that fits your lifestyle and timeline.
Your Toronto facelift will provide noticeable yet natural results. While the natural aging process will continue even after your procedure, proper post-surgery care and a diligent maintenance routine can help prolong your beautiful facelift results.
During your recovery, you should care for your results by following instructions from your plastic surgeon, such as avoiding strenuous activity, and protecting your face from sun exposure. After your face has healed from the procedure, you can extend your results by maintaining a good skincare routine, including sunscreen, and refreshing your face occasionally with non-surgical treatments.
Your facelift procedure will take place at our Toronto clinic. Our talented plastic surgeons will design your surgical strategy based on your needs and individual factors, including your age, skin quality, and overall health.
To begin, your plastic surgeon—either Dr. Brandt, Dr. Somogyi or Dr. Jalil—will make small, discreet, and precise incisions around your face.
The exact placement of the incisions will depend on the extent of the work you need, as this is a highly individualized treatment that is tailored to each patient. Your surgeon will ensure that any scars are hidden as well as possible.
After making small incisions, your surgeon will lift your skin away from the underlying tissue. They may tighten the muscles and remove excess fat to contour and define your face, creating a more chiseled and youthful appearance. Afterward, your skin will be carefully repositioned and tightened—this will smooth out wrinkles and sagging.
The entire facelift procedure typically takes several hours. Our medical team will administer anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the treatment.
Your recovery will depend on several factors, including the extent of your procedure, if you had any additional facial procedures, and factors such as your age and overall health. Your plastic surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions specific to your facelift, but here are some general guidelines to keep in mind:
Within six to eight weeks, you will begin to notice the full effects of your facelift. If you have any questions or concerns during your healing process, our dedicated clinical team is always available to assist and support you throughout your journey.
We keep pricing clear and comprehensive. Your Toronto facelift quote typically includes the surgeon’s fee, accredited facility and nursing care, anesthesia, standard garments, and scheduled follow-ups—plus our 24/7 after-hours access. The total cost varies depending on the technique (SMAS, deep plane, mini), whether neck work is added, and the extent of correction or the number of combined procedures; however, the standard range is between $18,000–$19,500.
We credit your C$150 consultation toward surgical fees if you proceed. If you prefer to plan payments, we can discuss payment options and third-party medical financing with transparent terms before you book.
Our facelift surgery in Toronto often shines when paired with other targeted facial refinements. A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty, sharpens the angle from the chin to the throat, while an upper or lower eyelid surgery refreshes tired eyes. A conservative brow lift can soften heaviness without changing your expression. Small-volume fat grafting can restore fullness to the cheeks or temples, and chin contouring can enhance jawline balance.
We design combinations to ensure cohesion and consolidate recovery into a single, well-managed timeline.
Yes. Our goal is restoration, not reinvention—friends should say you look refreshed, not different.
Most of our facelift patients in Toronto enjoy lasting results for years; longevity depends on factors such as skin quality, lifestyle, and technique. You keep aging naturally, but “set the clock back.”
Plan on about two weeks away from major social events, with earlier return to remote work depending on bruising and comfort. Exercise progresses in stages as directed by your surgeon.
We place incisions around the ears and along the hairline; if we treat the neck, we may add a small incision under the chin. We guide you on scar care so lines fade well.
That depends on your anatomy and goals: SMAS suits many lower-face concerns, deep plane helps midface descent, and a mini targets early jowling with shorter recovery. We will show you why.
Yes. You get detailed aftercare and a direct 24/7 line for urgent questions, plus scheduled check-ins with our Toronto medical team to keep your recovery on track.
