Good candidates typically notice sagging along the jawline, cheeks, or neck, deep folds that no longer respond to fillers, or loss of skin elasticity. The best way to know is a consultation, where we assess your skin, facial structure, and goals and build a personalized plan.

Most patients feel presentable for low-key activities within about 2-4 weeks, with swelling and bruising continuing to improve over the following weeks. Be prepared to rest for at least a week. While every patient heals differently, planning recovery time is critical to preserving your results. To support you, facelift patients receive a Insider Membership, complimentary medical-grade skincare kit and specialized recovery treatments at Utah Facial Plastics. 

Our surgeons focus on subtle restoration rather than a pulled or overdone look, repositioning tissue to restore your own youthful contours. The goal is that you look refreshed and like yourself, not different.

A MACS lift uses minimal incisions to address early or moderate sagging with a shorter recovery than a full facelift. It suits patients who want subtle renewal. During your consultation we’ll help you weigh a MACS lift against a full or deep plane facelift.

Both a MACS lift and a deep plane facelift are designed to restore a more youthful appearance, but they address different degrees of facial aging and use different surgical techniques. A MACS (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension) lift is a less invasive procedure that focuses on lifting and tightening the lower face and jawline, making it an excellent option for patients with early to moderate skin laxity. A deep plane facelift is a more comprehensive technique that releases and repositions the deeper facial tissues, allowing for more significant rejuvenation of the cheeks, jawline, and neck while maintaining natural-looking results. The best approach isn't determined by age, it's based on your unique facial anatomy, the degree of skin laxity, and your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, your facial plastic surgeon will recommend the technique that will provide the most natural, balanced, and long-lasting outcome for you.

There is no single “right” age. It depends on your skin, genetics, and goals rather than a birthday. Patients commonly explore a facelift from their 30-40s onward, but we tailor the recommendation to each individual.

It can. Many patients combine a facelift with neck contouring or deep neck work to restore jawline definition and address jowls and neck laxity in one procedure. Your surgeon will outline what a combined plan would involve.

A facelift turns back the clock and results are long-lasting, though your face continues to age naturally over time. Good skin care, sun protection, and healthy habits help preserve your results.

We offer facelift consultations at all of our locations in Draper, Layton, and Heber City, Utah; and we welcome out-of-town patients.

Yes. For patients not ready for surgery, we offer non-surgical options such as injectables and skin-tightening treatments. If you’re unsure which path fits, a consultation is the best starting point.
