Benefits of a Facelift Procedure
Sun exposure, lost skin elasticity, and hormonal changes all cause the skin to look dull and wrinkled as time goes on. A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a type of surgical procedure that reverses the most obvious signs of aging. Facelift surgery can:
Eliminate Lines & Wrinkles
Many patients find that with age, their skin loses its elasticity and develops a crepe-like appearance. This procedure can reduce deep wrinkles and age lines under the cheekbones, around the corners of your smile, and along the jawline.
Remove Excess Fat and Skin
The plastic surgeon will be able to reduce jowls (sagging under the cheeks) and restore youthful definition by removing excess skin and fat. This can be especially dramatic in the lower third of the face.
Enhance Your Confidence
Everyone ages differently and some patients find that time has been slightly less forgiving on their appearance. Plastic surgery allows patients to once again feel like the best version of themselves by reversing the effects of aging.

Imagine the Possibilities Your Facelift Options
Our practice, serving Frisco, Plano, and the North Texas area, provides two main rhytidectomy techniques: full and mini. During a consultation with Dr. Smart, you will learn about the benefits of each and discuss which procedure is most suitable for you.
Traditional Facelift
A standard or “traditional” facelift provides a more comprehensive solution for moderate to advanced signs of aging in the face. While the surgery is more extensive than the mini facelift alternative, the results are more dramatic and target a larger region. Dr. Smart can reposition the deeper tissues beneath the skin to refine the more pronounced effects of aging. A traditional lift eliminates excess skin and tightens the remaining skin to smooth wrinkles, eliminate heavy jowls, and refine the shape of the jaw.
Mini Facelift
Patients who have less pronounced concerns and a relatively minor amount of sagging skin are often good candidates for a mini facelift. During this less invasive procedure, Dr. Smart will tighten deep facial tissues through shorter incisions, typically along the hairline around each ear. Because it is a less extensive surgery, the recovery time for the mini facelift is generally quicker.
Combining Treatments
We commonly perform additional procedures, such as neck lifts or brow lifts, in conjunction with a facelift to achieve total facial rejuvenation. The procedure can also be combined with upper and lower eyelid lifts, lip and chin augmentation, and CO2 laser resurfacing. We take into account your unique features and develop a treatment plan that best targets the issues you wish to address.

Recovery & Aftercare
Day 1
You will need direct nursing care on the night of your surgery. Some patients spend one night in our surgical facility, but other at-home nursing arrangements can be made. You will have a bulky headwrap on when you wake up after surgery. You may or may not have drains. Pain can usually be controlled with oral pain medication, but IV pain medication can also be given if necessary.
Days 2-5
You will need your bandages changed the morning after the procedure, either in the hospital or at our office. Dr. Smart generally removes the drainage tube during this appointment as well. We will remove your sutures in stages, beginning usually about five days after surgery. The final sutures come out after two weeks. At this time, most of the bruising has usually resolved but it can take several more weeks for the swelling to go away.
Weeks 1 and 2
Bruising and swelling will begin to recede around 10-14 days after the surgery. Most patients can return to work at this time. Our team can provide further information about when you can begin working out and performing other activities.
2 Weeks Onward
In about two weeks after surgery, when the swelling goes down, you will begin to see your results. In approximately four to six weeks, most patients can resume their normal routine. Make sure to attend your follow-up appointments with Dr. Smart and contact our office if you have questions at any point in your recovery.
“I could not recommend him more.”
“He met and exceeded my expectations in every area. When I had questions during my recovery, his team was quick to respond with either “that’s normal” or “here’s what you need to do.” I could not recommend him more. If you are searching for a caring, gifted surgeon who is at the TOP of his field, you’ve found him.”
