Dr. Anthony performs multiple kinds of facelift procedures, including the mini facelift, the SMAS facelift, and the deep-plane facelift. Each facelift technique offers various benefits, and all of these options can offer amazing results. Dr. Anthony will work with you to design your ideal facelift, tailoring it to your needs and goals.
Good Candidates for a Facelift
Ideal candidates for a facelift are in good overall health, have moderate to severe facial sagging and wrinkling, and have realistic goals and expectations for their facelift procedure.
Both men and women can benefit from a facelift. The procedure is perfect for older individuals who want to revitalize their appearance and for younger people struggling with premature facial aging.
The best way to determine if a facelift is the right choice for you is to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Anthony will ask about the issues you want to correct, analyze your facial structure, and create a personalized surgical plan.

Dr. Charles Anthony is a board certified Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon who specializes in facial plastic surgery and aesthetic rejuvenation of the face. He has over 10 years of surgical experience and his expertise in minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques aids him in designing tailored treatment plans to meet his patients’ unique cosmetic goals.
Mini Facelift
The mini facelift is a less-invasive option compared to a traditional facelift. This variation is ideal for patients who have moderate to severe facial sagging and wrinkling that is not quite dramatic enough to warrant a full facelift.
A mini facelift uses smaller incisions and focuses on lifting and tightening to give the face a smoother and younger appearance. A mini facelift offers a quicker recovery period and provides long-lasting results.
SMAS Facelift
The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) facelift is an advanced facelift procedure that focus on correcting the mid and lower areas of the face. This facelift focuses on the deeper structural layers of the facial tissue. This procedure primarily addresses the cheeks, jowls, and the jawline.
Deep-Plane Facelift
A deep-plane facelift focuses on lifting the underlying muscle layer of the face by releasing the ligaments that anchor the SMAS layer. This allows the entire layer to be lifted and moved without creating tension. This procedure refines the facial contours, eliminates sagging, and rejuvenates the appearance of the face.
Facelift Recovery and Healing
Generally, patients can expect the following during facelift recovery:
- RBruising, swelling, and discomfort will be present for the first few days.
- RPatients must sleep with their head elevated.
- RMost sutures will be removed at approximately one week.
- RMost patients can return to work about two weeks after surgery.
- RPatients must avoid strenuous exercise for the first three to four weeks.
