What Is A Facelift?
The term facelift is broad and is not always performed the same way across the board. Utah Facial Plastic's double board-certified facial plastic surgeons perform UFP's Exclusive Deep Plane Facelift which addresses the deep plane and muscular layer which comprehensively treats the cheek or midface area, the jowls or lower face, and the neck area. This advanced technique provides the most natural and long-lasting results, leaving patients happier and more fulfilled in the long run.
UFP's surgeons Dr. Thompson, Dr. Henstrom, and Dr. Manning's technique differs from that of a typical facelift by being more extensive and comprehensive. While a traditional facelift works well for lifting jowls and tightening loose skin, it doesn't necessarily tend to the underlying layers which play a large part in facial aging.
The Benefits of UFP's Exclusive Deep Plane Facelift
UFP's surgeons Dr. Thompson, Dr. Henstrom, and Dr. Manning's technique differs from that of a typical facelift by being more extensive and comprehensive. While a traditional facelift works well for lifting jowls and tightening loose skin, it doesn't necessarily tend to the underlying layers which play a large part in facial aging.
UFP surgeons perform 2 types of facelifts: The deep plane facelift and the MACSlift (mini facelift).
The deep plane facelift is best suited for patients experiencing concerns in the mid face, lower face, and neck. Oftentimes patients who are primarily concerned with the neck area will visit our office and voice interest in a neck lift. What many may not realize is that the aging process causes areas of the lower face to fall into the neck area, making it most appropriate to treat the neck and face together to achieve the best and most natural results. UFP's deep plane facelift technique hides incisions in the natural contours and folds around the ears and hairline, making them difficult to see when fully healed.
The second facelift option would be a MACSlift (mini facelift) which is an ideal procedure for those patients experiencing minor signs of aging and who’s primary area of concern is the jowl area. This procedure effectively lifts the lower face to address the jowls, is performed in-office under a local anesthetic and has about half the recovery time of the standard facelift.
Whether or not you decide to move forward with a surgical procedure, it is best to consult with one of our face and neck experts to have a thorough exam and discuss your specific goals and concerns. This consultation will help determine the best plan for you and build your understanding of what each procedure will accomplish.

Facelift FAQ's
On average a facelift costs $8000 to $20000. This varies on region, physican, and the type of facelift being done. Utah Facial Plastics currently offers the mini facelift or MACSlift procedure and deep plane facelift which includes the face and neck. We also offer some neck corrective procedures that are specific to certain neck concerns. It is best to have a consultation with one of our double board-certified facial plastic surgeons to discuss your needs and goals. You will receive an individual quote after meeting with your surgeon.
For the typical patient, a facelift lasts about 10 years on average. This is different for everyone, so there is no perfect timeframe. Some patients feel they may need a second or third in their lifetime, but some are satisfied with one procedure.
As you continue to age even after having a facelift, there are certain things you can do to enhance that longevity. A healthy diet and lifestyle, hydration, sun protection, and proper daily skin care are all ways to maintain your investment.
Bruising, swelling, and numbness are all temporary symptoms of facelift surgery but there are some other complications that you should be aware of. These include:
- Nerve Injury
- Infection or anesthesia reaction
- Hematoma
- Slower healing process (for some people)
- Scarring
These are rare when you seek out a qualified, credentialed and specialized facial plastic surgeon. Also following your pre and post surgery instructions is also crucial to avoid any of these complications.
A standard facelift procedure takes anywhere from 4-6 hours. There are different factors involved such as gender, extent of correction needed, additonal procedures, or if there is scar tissue present. Your surgeon will address the underlying tissues and skin for a comprehensive face and neck lift.
