What Is a Facelift?

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:

• Sagging jowls
• Forehead wrinkles
• Drooping eyelids

During the procedure, our top plastic surgeons can lift your brows, smooth the forehead, and reduce the appearance of sagging eyelids, giving you a refreshed and younger appearance.

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.

How Long Will the Results of My Facelift Last?

Your Toronto facelift results can be long-lasting and make you look a decade younger. 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.

What To Expect from Your Facelift

Surgery

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, including:

• Along your hairline
• Around your ears
• Sometimes under your chin

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. Following your procedure, you will need to stay at least one night at the clinic.

Recovery

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:

• For the first few days, you should focus on resting with your head elevated to minimize swelling. This position reduces pressure on your face and encourages proper circulation
• Apply cold compresses to your face to reduce swelling and ease discomfort. Be careful not to place ice directly on the skin—wrap it in a cloth to prevent frostbite
• Although our expert surgeons artfully place your incisions to minimize scarring, you should avoid pressure or excessive movement around them. Be gentle when cleaning your incisions
• While you may resume light activities after about a week—and in some cases, can return to work around the two-week mark—avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least three weeks

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.
