A face lift, or technically a lower face-neck lift, is a complex procedure with more variations than almost any other operation in cosmetic surgery.  All face lifts have a common goal of repositioning sagging jowls, removing excess fat in the face and neck, and tightening loose skin.  We pride ourselves in producing natural results that age gracefully.  Occasionally a face lift is combined with a chin implant to produce better facial balance and/or to produce a more youthful, tight chin.  It is surprisingly common to see an excessively done face lift that ends up with a "startled" and "overstretched" or a "windblown" look.  If you want this La Jolla look, you are best going to a La Jolla surgeon.

    Our typical recovery is seven to ten days until makeup can be worn, and most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social events at seven to ten days.  Surprisingly, pain is extremely mild.
