Facelift
A facelift can "turn back the clock" and restore a fresh, youthful look to your facial structure. It is often very distressing to see your facial skin and tissue lose its natural elasticity and the skin begin to sag. A formerly fresh, youthful face starts to droop, with creases, wrinkles, smile lines, jowls, and sagging skin adding years to your appearance.
A facelift resolves these issues – but should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with top-level skills and advanced surgical techniques to achieve beautiful, natural-looking outcomes.
A Natural Look: Facelift Surgery at University Plastic Surgeons
One of the greatest concerns of people considering a facelift is a fear that the surgery will leave the face looking stretched, tight, and unnatural. To achieve an appearance that is youthful and fresh requires high level of surgical skills and a deep understanding of facial muscular structure. At University Plastic Surgeons, we not only perform facelifts, but are often called upon to perform revision facelifts to repair a surgery that went wrong.
As members of the faculty of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Memphis, our team of plastic surgeons are some of the most acclaimed medical professionals practicing in Tennessee, with patients coming to us from Memphis, across the state, and beyond. You can trust us to perform facelift surgery with artistry, skill, and to use the most effective, modern surgical techniques.
A result you will love
If you are considering facial rejuvenation surgery, the result should be fresh, youthful, and look like you – not over-tight, pulled, or unnatural. To achieve a very natural look requires treatment from a top facial plastic surgeon who is familiar with the most advanced facial surgery techniques in performing a traditional facelift or a mini-facelift.
While aging gracefully is important, it doesn’t need to include looking old and tired due to sagging skin, wrinkles, lines, creases, and jowls. Why not take advantage of what modern surgery offers, and retain the look of youth for years longer?
We invite you to discover the difference that true excellence in surgery can offer if you are considering a facelift.
Why get a Facelift?
Is a facelift right for me?
While there are many non-surgical treatments to smooth and rejuvenate skin, there is a point at which surgical treatment is appropriate. If you are unhappy with any of the following facial issues, you are probably a candidate for a custom facelift:
Sagging facial skin
Double chin
Deep laugh lines
Jowls
Lack of definition at jawline
Drooping cheeks
Deep creases, lines, wrinkles
Lines extending from mouth onto chin (marionette lines)
Highly-rated facial plastic surgeon in Memphis
To achieve a very natural look requires more than removing excess skin and fat – it requires lifting and repositioning the underlying facial muscles that have loosened over time. Excellent results from a facelift require a deep understanding of facial anatomy and an eye for balance. Our physicians have a reputation for achieving excellent results with this complex surgery.
If you are considering undergoing a facelift, you want the results to be empowering, revitalizing, and natural. Find out more about University Plastic Surgeons, the premier plastic surgery clinic in Memphis, and schedule an appointment for a private consultation.

The procedure restores a more youthful look which typically lasts for many, many years. The recovery time is not extensive, in the range of two to three weeks. If you are planning to attend an important event at which you want to look your best, plan to have your facelift about one month prior to the event.
The Facelift Procedure
A facelift is a custom-tailored surgical procedure, with every aspect carefully planned and strategized to suit the individual patient. A general overview of the procedure steps includes:
Step One
The patient is put under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
Step Two
Carefully placed incisions are made around the ear structure or hidden within the hairline, invisible once healed.
Step Three
The underlying facial muscle structure and tissue on the face and upper neck zones are lifted to the position they had in your younger years. Any pockets of excess fat are removed. The facial skin is then placed over the newly tightened structure, and any excess stretched skin trimmed away.
Step Four
The incisions are closed, with great attention and meticulous care to help limit the appearance of surgical scars.
