Beverly Hills traditional facelift, is designed to remove accumulated fat, re-support the neck muscles that have stretched, and remove excess skin primarily in the lower two-thirds of the face. It smoothes the neck are, reduces jowls, and refines the jaw line. The facelift procedure can improve wrinkled skin; however, skin type and patient age are important factors in the result.

Incisions are made around and behind each ear. The skin is raised, excess fat and skin are removed, the underlying connective tissue is lifted and repositioned, and permanent r long lasting absorbable sutures are used to hold the soft tissue and overlying skin in its new location. The surgery is typically performed taking two to four hours depending on the extent in an outpatient facility or in a hospital setting. Patients return home the same day of surgery. Swelling diminishes after one or two weeks.
Deep plane facelift

The deep plane facelift was developed in the 1980s and is more extensive than a full facelift. The deep-plane facelift uses the deeper tissues to reposition the facial muscles and the cheek fat pad. The focus is on tightening and fixating the sagging deep soft tissue and the SMAS layer (superficial muscluloaponeurotic system). The muscles and fat pads of the cheek and midface are elevated and then secured in their new, youthful position. While the deep-plane facelift allows more facial sculpturing to correct problems in the cheek and midface region (e.g., reducing the appearance of deep creases between the nose and the mouth), the procedure is more invasive and requires a longer recovery period.
Midface lift

This lift has been used for the past decade. It is performed through tiny incisions placed inconspicuously within the hairline and on the inside of the mouth. During the procedure, the fat pads of the cheeks are repositioned up and over the cheekbones where they belong. This redraping improves the nasal furrows and restores a more youthful appearance. This option is advantageous to the patient seeking improvement in the cheek and lower eyelid area, which the traditional facelift cannot provide.
