Sagging skin, deep creases, jowls, and loss of definition along the jawline can make you look older or more tired than you feel. Facelift surgery is designed to address these concerns by lifting and repositioning underlying tissues while smoothing excess skin for a naturally refreshed look.
At Ashpole Plastic Surgery, we offer personalized facelift procedures tailored to your facial structure, skin type, and aesthetic goals. Our practice is led by Dr. Bradley Ashpole, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience, and all surgery is performed in our QUAD A–accredited facility for the highest level of safety and care.
If you’re considering a facelift and want results that look natural—not overdone—we invite you to schedule your initial consultation with our team.
What Is a Facelift Procedure? And What Can It Do?
A facelift procedure, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical treatment that improves visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Rather than simply tightening the skin, modern facelift surgery focuses on repositioning the deeper facial tissues that naturally descend over time. This approach creates smoother contours and longer-lasting results.
Facelift surgery can help improve:
- Sagging skin in the midface
- Deep folds between the nose and mouth
- Jowls along the jawline
- Loose skin and muscle tone in the neck
- Loss of facial definition
At our facelift clinic, every procedure is customized. Some patients benefit from a full facelift, while others achieve excellent results with a more targeted approach. During your consultation, we’ll help determine which option best fits your needs.
Facelift Treatments Tailored to You
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to facial rejuvenation. Our facelift treatments are designed around your anatomy, degree of aging, and personal goals. In some cases, facelift surgery is combined with complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery, neck lift, or facial fat transfer to achieve balanced, beautiful results. We also offer a full array of MedSpa treatments to help maintain your results.
Dr. Ashpole takes a conservative, thoughtful approach—focusing on restoring your youthful contours while preserving your natural expressions. The goal is to help you look like a refreshed version of yourself, not someone completely different.

What to Expect During Facelift Surgery
We’re here to help you understand what you can expect from facelift surgery, from start to finish:
Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation. Dr. Ashpole will evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and areas of concern, and discuss your goals in detail. This is also when we review your medical history and explain the recommended facelift procedure and financing options.
Surgery
Facelift surgery is typically performed under anesthesia and takes several hours, depending on the extent of treatment. The incisions are carefully placed along natural contours, often around the ears or hairline, to minimize visible scarring. The deeper facial tissues are lifted and repositioned, excess skin is removed, and the incisions are closed with precision.
Recovery
After surgery, some swelling and bruising are expected. Most patients take one to two weeks away from work and social activities, with gradual improvement over several weeks. As healing progresses, your facial contours become smoother and more defined, revealing the full results of your facelift.
Understanding Facelift Surgery Results
Results from facelift surgery are long-lasting and continue to improve as swelling resolves. While the natural aging process continues, patients often look noticeably younger and more refreshed for many years.
A facelift does not change who you are—it simply restores the facial structure and balance that time has altered. Many patients report increased confidence, improved self-image, and greater satisfaction with their appearance.
