Designed to Improve Contour, Definition, and Balance

A facelift restores structure and harmony to your face, helping you look more youthful and refreshed while still feeling like yourself.

Gently Lift and Support Aging Facial Structures

A facelift repositions and supports underlying facial tissue that has shifted over time, correcting facial sagging without ever looking tight or “pulled.”

Improve Facial Contour and Balance

By refining the jawline, cheeks, and lower face, a facelift restores definition and balance to your features, so your profile looks smoother and more proportionate.

Maintain a Natural, Recognizable Appearance

Dr. Shektman creates subtle enhancements, so your expressions still look like you, just more refreshed, rested, and confident.

Is a Facelift the Right Procedure for You?

A facelift restores facial contour and support where aging has softened definition, helping you look refreshed without altering your natural expression. This procedure creates longer-lasting improvements when non-surgical treatments no longer deliver the results you want.

A facelift may be right for you if:

  • You’re bothered by sagging along the jawline, lower face, or neck
  • Your face looks tired or heavy 
  • You want longer-lasting improvements than non-surgical options can provide
  • You’ve lost facial definition that skincare or dermal fillers can’t address

Depending on your goals, Dr. Shektman may recommend pairing your facelift with a brow lift or neck lift for a more complete rejuvenation. He’ll discuss your options during your consultation.

“She really took the time to talk to me about expectations and goals so that we could formulate a treatment plan that I felt comfortable with” — Real Patient Stories

Carefully Guided From Your First Visit Through Healing

Your Consultation: You’ll meet with Dr. Shektman to discuss your concerns, review your medical history, and outline your goals for a facelift.

Surgery Day: You’ll arrive at our Joint Commission–accredited surgical center, where our team keeps you comfortable and supported throughout your procedure. Facelift surgery typically takes 3–5 hours, depending on your needs, and Dr. Shektman restores facial contours and support for natural-looking results.

What to Expect During Recovery:

  • First few days: You’ll return home the same day with dressings in place. Swelling and tightness are normal, and rest with gentle movement supports healing.
  • 1–2 weeks: Bruising and swelling begin to improve, and you may feel ready to resume light daily activities and social outings.
  • 3–4 weeks: Your face looks more refreshed as swelling continues to fade, and you’ll feel increasingly comfortable returning to normal routines.
  • 6 weeks and beyond: Your contours continue to refine, revealing balanced, natural results that still look unmistakably like you.

What Sets a Boutique Plastic Surgery Practice Apart

A facelift is personal, so you need a surgeon that listens to your goals and treats you like a person, not just another case. At Finesse Cosmetic Surgery, your care is centered on your unique features and your comfort level, not rushed timelines or standard techniques.

Common Facelift Questions, Clearly Explained

There’s no “right” age; it depends on your goals and concerns. Many patients consider a facelift when sagging, jowling, or loss of definition no longer responds to non-surgical treatments.

Pricing depends on your treatment plan and whether your facelift is combined with other procedures. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear, personalized estimate.

Facelift results can last many years, especially with proper skincare. While the natural aging process will continue, you’ll enjoy your refreshed look long-term.

Dr. Shektman places incisions carefully along around the ears and hairline. As healing progresses, scars typically fade and become significantly less noticeable.

No, a facelift restores support without “freezing” your expressions. Your face will move naturally and you’ll still look like yourself, just more rested and balanced.

A Consultation Focused on Your Goals and Questions

A facelift should leave you looking refreshed, not like a different person. Dr. Shektman focuses your care on you, helping you look more youthful and refreshed without changing your unique expressions.
