Rhytidectomy / Face Lift
Rejuvenate Your Look with a Facelift
Turn back the clock with natural-looking facial refinement
You may feel vibrant and energetic—but loose skin, sagging features, and deep lines can send a different message to the world. A facelift is a powerful way to restore a refreshed, more youthful version of yourself by tightening facial tissues, redefining contours, and reducing signs of aging.
At Allure Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Percy Lo offers several types of facelift procedures, all tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals. With precision and an artistic eye, he delivers results that look natural—not overdone.
What a Facelift Can Improve
Elevate your features and smooth visible signs of aging
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is designed to reposition facial tissues, remove excess skin, and restore youthful contours. It addresses the mid-to-lower face and neck, treating key concerns such as:
Jowls and lower face sagging
Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
Loose skin or “turkey neck”
Deep wrinkles and skin laxity
Loss of facial volume
Fat displacement around the cheeks and jawline
The result is a smoother, firmer facial appearance that reflects the way you actually feel inside—more alert, rested, and confident.
Customized Facelift Options
Choose the approach that fits your needs and goals
Dr. Lo offers multiple facelift techniques, each designed to meet different levels of aging and desired outcomes:
Traditional Facelift
Comprehensive lift of the mid-face, lower face, and jawline
Repositions underlying tissue, removes sagging skin, and smooths deep lines
Ideal for patients seeking significant, long-lasting improvement
Limited Incision Facelift
A less invasive option using smaller, more discreet incisions
Targets early signs of aging in the lower face
Best for patients looking for subtle, natural-looking refreshment
Neck Lift (often combined)
Tightens neck bands, removes excess fat, and smooths loose skin
Refines the jawline and improves “double chin” appearance
Can be performed with or without a facelift for enhanced harmony
Dr. Lo will help you determine which approach is most appropriate during your consultation.
What to Expect from Surgery and Recovery
Safe, personalized care with a detailed recovery plan
Facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 3 to 5 hours, depending on the techniques used and whether procedures are combined. Incisions are placed carefully around the hairline and ears for minimal visible scarring.
After your facelift:
Expect swelling, bruising, and mild tightness in the first 1–2 weeks
Sutures are removed during follow-up appointments
Most patients return to light activities in 10–14 days
Strenuous activity and sun exposure should be avoided for several weeks
Final results become apparent in 6–12 weeks, with continued softening over time
Dr. Lo provides step-by-step guidance through the healing process to ensure a smooth, confident recovery.
A Natural, Rested Look That Lasts
Restore youthful definition—without losing your expression
A well-performed facelift shouldn’t change who you are—it should restore the best version of you. With Dr. Lo’s skill and attention to detail, your results will appear refreshed, lifted, and completely natural.
If you’ve noticed that your outward appearance no longer reflects your inner energy, a facelift may be the most effective way to reclaim your facial definition and confidence.
