A facelift is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures for those looking to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Surgeons perform more than 130,000 of them each year.
If you’re considering a facelift, you probably have lots of questions about the procedure, its results, and the recovery process. The team here at Lansdowne Aesthetic Center and our surgeon, Yaqub Baraki, MD, answer five of the most common questions about facelifts to help you make an informed decision.
A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure intended to reduce visible signs of aging by tightening the skin and underlying tissues of the face and neck. It helps to address sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of muscle tone, ultimately providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
At Lansdowne Aesthetic Center, we offer the S-lift, which combines face and neck lifts to address a slack jawline and excess folds and fat deposits around the chin and neck.

A facelift can provide long-lasting results, but remember that it does not stop the natural aging process. Expect your results to persist for 10 to 15 years. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting your skin from sun damage, and following a good skincare routine can help prolong your results.
The S-lift offered here uses minimal incisions, which means an easier, swifter recovery. We also offer several nonsurgical treatments that can help improve the appearance of aging skin, including:
The results from these procedures are notable but can’t quite mimic the long-lasting and dramatic results of a surgical facelift.
A facelift is the most effective way to turn back the clock and achieve a more youthful look.
