FACELIFT / MINI FACELIFT

Real patient results from Marina Plastic Surgery

Why let the years give away your age? Growing older does not have to involve looking old. The years, the elements, and stress work against us all to create wrinkles and sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, and neck. You might be surprised to learn how many people have rejuvenated their face and erased years from their look across the globe and the nation, as well as nearby in Los Angeles, with facelift surgery. At Marina Plastic Surgery, we strive to deliver the best facelifts Los Angeles has to offer.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, improves the appearance of the lower two-thirds of the face by tightening sagging facial muscles, smoothing wrinkled skin, and removing excess fat. This procedure is often combined with a neck lift for improvements under the chin. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia but can be performed using local anesthesia with sedation. 

Our patients with less advanced wrinkling and sagging can sometimes benefit from the less invasive mini facelift. Every face is different, and our expert surgeons can tailor procedures to meet your demands according to their distinctive approaches and specializations.

The best candidates for a facelift are healthy individuals (often between 40 and 80 years old) who are nonsmokers and have reasonable expectations for their improved appearance. Many of our Los Angeles facelift patients elect to combine their procedure with other facial plastic surgery procedures, such as a brow lift, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty.

• Lifts and firms aged skin, reducing jowls, and firming the neck. Simultaneously addresses multiple signs of aging for a more youthful appearance.
• Contours and tightens your facial features.
• Eliminates jowls or a double chin by defining and refining your jawline.
• Reverses time by as much as ten years.
• Reduces or eliminates lines and wrinkles around the mouth, including marionette lines and smile lines.
• Replaces volume loss in drooping cheeks.
• Enhances self-confidence.

Mini facelift surgery is particularly effective for younger patients in Los Angeles who possess good skin elasticity. The benefits of this procedure include:

• Smaller incisions
• Minimal scarring
• Less bleeding

• Minimal numbness
• Quicker recovery

Most Los Angeles men and women have busy and active lifestyles and want to look as beautiful as they feel. A traditional facelift can help our patients achieve their beauty goals, this tried and true method can produce beautiful, natural looking results for our patients.

The lower region of your face often shows the earliest signs of aging and is the procedure's focus. Many patients refer to this treatment as a "weekend facelift" because the incisions are less than a complete facelift and the recuperation time is substantially shorter.

The first area of your body to age is frequently your neck, which has sagging skin and deep creases that make you appear much older. At Marina Plastic Surgery, our surgeons perform a neck lift to contour and smooth your neck for a more youthful, natural-looking appearance. In order to provide a more thorough facial rejuvenation, facelift surgery is frequently combined with neck lift surgery to address aging issues along the neck and jawline.

"I truly chose the right office for my procedure. There was zero pressure or upsell. He and his nurses and office personnel each listened with the intent of giving me my own best version of myself, and not what they might have thought I should do. Their input was not part of the discussion until they had a clear vision of my personal goals for the surgery. I am truly grateful for this approach, and feel that makes him trustworthy when I consider future procedures. My results were just what he predicted and just what I wanted."

"From the moment I had my consultation, I felt this experience was tailored specifically to me and my aesthetic goals. I was quite nervous having my first cosmetic procedure, because there really is no one-size-fits-all approach. As the weeks went by following my procedure, I could see my photos reflecting my aesthetic goals and feel my confidence building up with the way I walk around, talk with people, and enjoy life. This energy drives me to do my best, every single day. I could not have asked for - or even imagined - a better result."

"This has been one of my most positive medical experiences I’ve ever had. Dr. Perez has a way of making you feel like you’re his only patient. I came to him discouraged and losing faith and he brought me back to life. I am so grateful for him for so many reasons. He’s gentle and skilled with both medical procedures and overall loving kindness. I highly recommend him and will return to him in the future. I feel blessed to have found him."
