View GalleryRequest a ConsultationWho’s a Good Facelift Candidate?
There is no perfect age for everyone when it comes to facelift surgery. Instead, there is a unique “right time” for every man or woman who considers the procedure. When you visit Dr. Hasen for a facelift consultation, he looks for one or more of the following qualities:
- Laxity on the jawline or chin, causing jowls or a loss of definition
- Wrinkles, lines, or folds around the nose and mouth
- Diminished volume in the cheeks
Facelift surgery is popular with both men and women. It’s often the best treatment for patients who want to add youthful definition and volume to their faces. Those with mild to moderate sagging of the skin around the mouth and along the jawline may be candidates for the noninvasive EMFACE® procedure or the minimally invasive Renuvion® procedure.

How Much Does a Facelift Cost in Naples & Fort Myers, FL?
Your actual cost will vary with the specifics of your surgery and individual factors; please refer to this blog post for an overview of facelift cost variables. We work to keep our fees competitive with those of other plastic surgeons throughout Naples and Fort Myers. During your consultation, you’ll receive a written quote that reflects the specifics of your procedure. For more information on our fees and financing options, visit our financial and cancellation policy page.
How Is a Facelift Done?
Dr. Hasen performs facelift surgery in his onsite, private surgery suite using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Surgery is complete within about 3 to 5 hours.
Facelift Incisions & Scars
Without shaving your hair, Dr. Hasen makes a thin incision that extends from within the hairline to above the ear, continuing in front of and inside the ear, around the earlobe, in the crease, and then behind the hairline. This results in minimal scarring that is virtually invisible, once healed.
SMAS Facelift Technique
Dr. Hasen separates the deep underlying tissue called the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) from the skin and lifts it to provide internal support that makes the results of surgery last longer. He then redrapes the skin and removes any excess without pulling it unnaturally tight. If necessary, he also removes fat from under the chin.
What Are the Benefits of a SMAS Facelift?
This approach to facelift surgery has several advantages:
- Shorter incisions result in minimal scarring. Using Silagen® scar refinement products as directed can optimize the healing process.
- Addressing the SMAS yields a natural-looking appearance (not overly tight).
- Fat transfer restores lost volume naturally using the patient’s own fat.
- Patients look like a younger and refreshed version of themselves — not like a different person.
What Is a Mini Facelift?
The term “mini facelift” can mean different things, depending on who you’re speaking to. Generally, a mini facelift uses the smallest incisions possible, and in some cases, also means more limited results. In comparison, Dr. Hasen’s SMAS facelift is performed with minimal scarring and provides significant and lasting results.
Will Facelift Surgery Get Rid of Chubby Cheeks?
A facelift rejuvenates the lower 2/3 of the face but does not address fullness in the lower cheeks, called the buccal fat pad. Some people are genetically predisposed to have more buccal fat than others. This fat can give the face a round, chubby look (even in those who are not overweight) and obscure definition in the cheekbones. During facelift surgery, Dr. Hasen can contour the lower cheeks by performing buccal fat removal. Liposuction is not a good option for reducing fat in this area, so surgical reduction is necessary.
Can a Facelift Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes! Dr. Hasen regularly performs combinational procedures to suit the unique needs of each patient. A facelift provides dramatic results on its own, but it’s also common to combine the surgery with other facial rejuvenation procedures for a significant, full-face improvement. Some popular choices:
- Fat transfer: Using your own fat, Dr. Hasen can selectively restore volume where it’s been lost over the years.
- Eyelid surgery: Also called blepharoplasty, this procedure can reinvigorate the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, giving you a more alert and refreshed appearance.
- Brow lift: Forehead wrinkles or a “heavy” brow can be remedied with a brow lift, a procedure that softens the upper face.
- Neck lift: When the neck begins to show signs of aging, neck lift surgery or neck liposuction can restore a smooth silhouette.
How Long Is Facelift Recovery?
After your facelift, we recommend that you stay overnight in our postoperative recovery area with a registered nurse in order to receive excellent care in the initial hours after the procedure. Typically, pain is minimal and easily controlled with medication for the first few days.
Recovery Timeline
Although each person’s experience varies, facelift recovery generally progresses along the following timeline:
Day after surgery:
- Return home in the care of an adult who will need to assist you for the first few days.
Day 2:
- Surgical drains are painlessly removed in our office along with the bulky dressing.
- Bruising is typically minimal and peaks at this time.
7 to 10 days:
- Swelling is mild to moderate and rapidly disappears at this point.
- Resume most nonstrenuous activities.
- Safe to apply camouflage makeup.
- Ready to go in public and return to work.
2 to 3 weeks:
- Bruising clears away.
- Gradually return to more strenuous activities with Dr. Hasen’s approval.
1 to 2 months:
- Improvements become more noticeable.
6 to 9 months:
- Incisions fade.
- Final results are achieved.

How Long Will My Facelift Results Last?
Patients enjoy their very natural-looking, rested, younger appearance for several years. Although the aging process continues, most patients look younger than if they did not have surgery at all. Find out how to extend the life of your facelift in this blog post.

More Facelift Surgery FAQs
Dr. Hasen has performed facelift surgery to help hundreds of patients feel good about what they see in the mirror. He employs advanced techniques to help patients look like younger, refreshed versions of themselves without being overly “done” or “windswept.” If you’re considering this procedure, you likely have a lot of questions. Here are answers to the ones Dr. Hasen is asked most frequently from his facelift patients.
Is there a facelift approach for men?
Absolutely. Male facelift patients may not be as common as their female counterparts, but Dr. Hasen sees many men who want to add definition to their faces and take some of the years off. Many male patients have specific concerns about surgery, such as the removal of sideburns or other facial hair. Dr. Hasen’s approach preserves sideburns in male patients while still creating a great result, as exemplified in this patient (left: before surgery, right: 3 months after surgery):

View GalleryRequest a ConsultationWill a facelift rejuvenate my whole face?
Facelift surgery is not designed to improve the look of the entire face. Instead, the surgery focuses on the lower portion of the face, which is where many people notice the most severe signs of aging. For this reason, a facelift will not typically address crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other concerns of the upper face.
If you’re bothered by these issues, you may benefit from other surgeries, such as brow lift, or nonsurgical options, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic. During your consultation, Dr. Hasen evaluates your concerns and develops a surgical approach that fully addresses your own unique face.
How can I maintain the results of my facelift?
It’s important to keep in mind that no cosmetic procedure, including facelift surgery, can halt the aging process. However, the procedure can give you a head start. One good way to ensure your results last as long as possible is by maintaining a steady weight. Significant weight gain or loss can alter the appearance of your face, and you may wish to undergo revisionary surgery. It’s also important to adopt a good skincare regimen and avoid sun overexposure.
Some patients choose to touch up their results with regular injectable treatments. Other patients may benefit from undergoing additional surgery after several years. You have plenty of options for maintaining your facelift results in the long term, and Dr. Hasen is excited to help you put your best face forward.
What is the best age for a facelift?
The best age for a facelift varies with the individual. Most patients consider surgery when nonsurgical options can’t give them the rejuvenation they want. Learn more in this blog post.
Are facelifts safe?
Like any surgical procedure, facelifts do carry some risk of rare complications, such as infection. By working with an experienced, board-certified facelift specialist, you keep your risk very low. Dr. Hasen will discuss any potential risks with you during your consultation to make sure you are educated and feel confident about taking your next steps.
Are there any nonsurgical facelift alternatives?
Yes, but they won’t produce results that are as extensive. Innovations in recent years with dermal fillers and skin tightening treatments such as Renuvion® have been very impressive, offering patients an anti-aging solution that doesn’t require as much of a financial or time commitment. Fillers, such as JUVÉDERM®, and BOTOX can be performed together for a “liquid facelift.” However, facelift surgery is usually more appropriate for those who need more extensive correction. Dr. Hasen will evaluate your face and recommend a procedure route that is right for you. Learn more in this blog post.
How many years younger does a patient look after a facelift?
Each patient is different, and results vary from person to person. However, a good facelift that addresses the underlying musculature can take an average of 10 to 12 years off your appearance.
