A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a transformative plastic surgery procedure that addresses visible signs of aging on the face and neck, helping you turn back the clock. Those who want the best facelift surgeon in Houston, Texas, choose our ACPS board-certified plastic surgeons because they are known for personalized results that look natural and timeless.
A facelift is considered the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, and our skilled plastic surgeons take a customized surgical approach to accomplish your unique aesthetic goals. During facelift surgery, they use discreet incisions to reposition underlying facial muscles and soft tissues, creating a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.

Your unique treatment plan is designed to improve the overall contours of the face and neck while maintaining the original character of your face. You’ll still look like you—only more refreshed and vibrant!

A facelift typically starts with general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortably asleep throughout the procedure, along with local anesthesia to numb the treatment area and maximize your comfort. Your surgeon then makes a small incision, typically along the hairline, in the natural crease of the ear, or extending around the back of the ear into the scalp. They then reposition underlying facial tissues and lift and tighten facial muscles. They may remove or redistribute excess fat, and trim away excess skin. The remaining skin is then carefully redraped over your newly contoured face, creating a smoother, rejuvenated appearance. Our surgeons use a meticulous approach to ensure minimal visible scarring after recovery.
At ACPS, your facelift is never one-size-fits-all, and our surgeons leverage their artistry and skill to tailor their surgical approach to your unique needs.
This advanced surgical approach lifts the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and the skin together as one unit. This surgery is conducted at a deeper level than other facelifts and produces extremely natural-looking results.
This popular technique addresses advanced signs of aging in the lower face and neck, resulting in a smoother, lifted, naturally younger-looking appearance.
A mini facelift in Houston continues to grow in popularity among people with minimal skin laxity and early signs of aging who prefer a slightly less invasive approach than a full facelift.
A facelift combined with a neck lift treats the lower face while addressing neck bands (turkey neck) and lifting and tightening the neck area to complement your facelift results.
Our knowledgeable surgeons will determine the surgical technique that best suits your aging symptoms and aesthetic goals. For additional rejuvenation, they may also suggest administering injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or dermal fillers, an approach typically described as a nonsurgical facelift or liquid facelift.
After a facelift, the recovery process typically takes about two weeks, during which it’s essential to prioritize healing and rest. While recovery varies from patient to patient, here’s a general overview of what to expect:
It may take several months to reach your final results and complete your recovery. Our surgeons provide detailed postoperative instructions to help you manage your comfort and enhance healing—follow them closely to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
The AqueCool Rapid Recovery System is a revolutionary technology that improves the recovery process of certain facial procedures. It is a non-invasive, drug-free system that uses cold therapy to alleviate pain and swelling, promote healing, and speed up recovery.
Widely considered a game-changer in postoperative care, the AqueCool Rapid Recovery System is becoming increasingly popular with patients and healthcare professionals alike.

There’s no “best” age for a facelift. While any adult with realistic expectations may be a candidate for a facelift, the procedure is most common starting in your 40s or 50s. It’s typically most suitable for patients with deep wrinkles and folds in the lower face and loose skin along the jawline, neck, and cheeks.
Facelift results typically last 8 to 10 years depending on how well you care for your skin and protect it from sun exposure. You can extend your results by visiting our providers for additional skin treatments such as laser resurfacing or injectables.
Prior to facelift surgery, it is essential to discuss your expectations and medical history with your surgeon and provide any necessary tests to ensure your candidacy. Your surgeon may also advise that you adjust your medications and abstain from smoking before the procedure.
While scarring is an inevitable aspect of surgery, our top facelift surgeons use small incisions and advanced techniques. Once healed, these incisions are usually well hidden by hair or natural creases in the skin and barely perceptible.
Like any medical procedure, facelift surgery has potential risks, including infections, poor wound healing, swelling, bruising, and bleeding. Our board-certified plastic surgeons adhere to the highest standards and protocols to ensure your safety and discuss potential surgical risks with you during your consultation.
Absolutely not! Our talented surgeons leverage their skill and artistry to perform facelifts that look beautiful and natural. After surgery, you’ll look like a more refreshed version of yourself instead of looking like you’ve had work done.
If you’re ready to look and feel more vibrant, we encourage you to meet with an ACPS facelift surgeon to explore your facelift surgery options. Request a consultation online with one of our top facelift surgeons in Houston, or call our practice at (713) 799-9999 to schedule an appointment.
