Face Lift & Neck Lift
Turn Back the Clock, On Your Terms
Address jowls, neck laxity, and deep facial folds for a naturally refreshed, youthful appearance.
Overview
What Is a Face Lift & Neck Lift?
A facelift at Red Rose addresses the visible signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face and neck, including jowls, sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, and neck laxity. Our surgeons use advanced techniques that reposition deeper facial tissues for natural, long-lasting results that avoid the 'pulled' look. A post-op visit is scheduled for the next morning, and initial sutures are removed at 4-5 days. The goal is always a refreshed, natural you, never overdone.

The Process
What to Expect
Free Consultation
Your surgeon evaluates facial aging patterns, skin quality, and bone structure to design your personalized plan.
Pre-Op Prep
Complete labs, medical clearance, stop blood thinners, and review detailed pre- and post-op instructions.
Surgery Day
Incisions are hidden along the hairline and ear contours. Deeper tissues are repositioned, excess skin removed.
Recovery & Results
Post-op visit next morning. Sutures removed at 4-5 days. Swelling resolves over weeks, with final results at 3-6 months.
Recovery
Recovery & Aftercare
Plan to stay in Miami for 7-10 days. A post-op visit is scheduled for the morning after surgery. Initial sutures are removed at 4-5 days. Bruising and swelling peak around days 3-5 and improve significantly by day 10-14. Most patients feel comfortable appearing in public at 2-3 weeks. Numbness near incisions is normal and resolves gradually. Final results continue to refine over 3-6 months.
Do's
- Keep your head elevated, sleep propped up for 1-2 weeks
- Apply cold compresses gently to reduce swelling
- Take prescribed medications on schedule
- Attend your next-morning post-op visit
- Be patient with bruising, it resolves fully
- Protect incisions from sun exposure for 6+ months
Don'ts
- Bend over or lift anything heavy for 2-3 weeks
- Smoke or use nicotine, this is critical for facelift healing
- Drink alcohol for at least 2 weeks post-surgery
- Apply makeup to incision areas until cleared
- Engage in strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks
