Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to address multiple signs of facial aging. This transformative surgery restores youthful contours by lifting and repositioning facial tissues, smoothing wrinkles, and creating a more defined jawline.
This is Dr. Diaz’s preferred technique for comprehensive facial rejuvenation in patients who are showing signs of facial tissue laxity, descent and volume loss. Multiple small incisions are made in hidden areas, such as the scalp, temple, behind the ear and under the chin. A camera is inserted and used to prepare the tissues for lifting. Specialized advanced suture devices are passed through these small incisions and used to lift tissues in a way that restores their youthful position and appearance. Scars are not visible with this technique. Recovery time is significantly shortened, and results look completely natural. This procedure was originally created by Dr. Kao and referred to as the “Ponytail Facelift.”
This technique focuses on the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) layer, providing excellent lifting and tightening of facial tissues. It offers outstanding results with natural-looking facial rejuvenation that enhances your inherent beauty. There are a variety of ways to manipulate the SMAS and the specific technique used depends on the individual’s unique anatomy.
The deep plane facelift is a specific way to modify the SMAS layer. For patients with advanced signs of aging, the deep plane technique is used to reposition facial muscles and tissues. This approach provides powerful lifting while maintaining natural facial expressions and movement.

Facelift surgery is ideal for individuals seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation to address multiple signs of aging. Whether for aesthetic enhancement or to restore youthful facial contours, this procedure can provide transformative benefits. Here’s what makes a good candidate for facelift surgery:
Facelift surgery is perfect for those experiencing:
Ideal candidates should:
If you work remotely, you can return to work in a few days. Initial swelling and bruising typically peak around day 3-4 and significantly improve within the first two weeks. Most patients return to the office or other social activities after approximately 2 weeks. The results and appearance improve each week. Patients start looking their best and returning to all activities within a month.
The cost of a facelift can vary based on several factors such as, your individual anatomy, the number of areas being addressed, and the specific techniques used to achieve your desired results. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and create a personalized plan that aligns with your unique needs.
Dr. Diaz’s technique focuses on natural-looking results. Most patients report that friends and colleagues notice they look refreshed, well-rested, or younger, but can’t pinpoint exactly why. The incisions are carefully hidden within your natural hairline and facial contours. In the case of the endoscopic assisted facial rejuvenation procedure, there are no visible scars.
Most patients report experiencing tightness and pressure, rather than sharp pain. Many patients only need over-the-counter pain medication after the first few days. We provide comprehensive pain management protocols to ensure your comfort.
Moderate weight fluctuations (10-15 pounds) typically won’t significantly impact your results. However, substantial weight changes can affect your facial appearance. Maintaining a stable weight will help preserve your results longer.
Dr. Diaz’s technique preserves natural facial movement and expressions. You’ll still look like yourself and maintain all your natural expressions – you’ll just look like a younger, refreshed version of yourself.
There’s no “perfect” age for a facelift. The right timing depends on your aging patterns, skin quality, and personal goals. While most patients are between 45-65, we evaluate each case individually. Some patients benefit from earlier intervention, while others maintain good skin quality into their 70s.
Following pre- and post-operative instructions carefully is crucial. This includes stopping smoking, maintaining good nutrition, avoiding certain medications, and following our recovery protocols. We’ll provide detailed guidelines and support throughout your journey.
