The Different Types of Facelift Procedures

08/24/2022 by DR. ANDREW JACONO

A beautiful middle-aged woman who has had a facelift

There are many reasons why a person would want a facelift, so there are also many different ways to get a facelift. Facial plastic surgery is an advanced science and art, and Dr. Jacono is one of the most renowned facial plastic surgeons in the world. These are some of the different types of facelifts that he offers.

Note that this is not an exhaustive list, and that not every facelift fits strictly in a single box, as a person may need some aspects of one lift and some aspects of another. Either way, these techniques will help with sagging skin, excess skin, lines and wrinkles, and an improvement to all areas of the face.

Deep Plane/SMAS Facelift

The deep plane facelift improves the look of sagging skin in the chin and neck. In this procedure, the surgeon will go under the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) to lift up and tighten the muscles in the face. The major areas of focus for a deep plane/SMAS facelift are around the mouth, including the muscles used for smiling and frowning.

Mini Facelift

The mini facelift is a minimally-invasive surgery that uses very small incisions, mostly hidden under the hairline, which will allow the surgeon to smooth out the skin and remove excess sagging tissue. This is very effective for the cheeks and jowls.

Jawline Rejuvenation

A jawline rejuvenation is a procedure that combats the signs of aging under the jaw, using neck liposuction to remove double and triple chins. The doctor will reshape your jawline to have a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Ponytail Facelift

The ponytail facelift technique is called the ponytail facelift because it somewhat imitates the look of having your hair pulled back into a ponytail and all of your forehead and eye skin smooth and tight. It is a minimally invasive procedure that leaves no visible scarring.

Traditional Facelift

In a traditional facelift surgery, the incisions generally begin at the temples near the hairline, then go around the ear. Often, fat is resculpted and redistributed in the face, jowls, and neck. It is known as the “traditional” facelift because it is one of the most common and most universally requested facelift procedures.

Mid Facelift

This surgical facelift procedure targets the middle of the face. The plastic surgeon removes excess tissue and fat and may redistribute some to uplift the cheekbones. It is primarily intended to eliminate sagging and fine lines and wrinkles.

Cheek Lift

With the purpose of enhancing the look of the cheekbones, as well as removing wrinkles from the center of the face, the cheek lift is a surgical procedure that gives your face the shape of someone much younger. It removes eye puffiness, and the lines around the nose.

Brow Lift

With the intent to remove droopy eyebrows, as well as smooth out wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes, this procedure is another minimally invasive surgery where a small incision is made along the hairline and the muscles under the skin are stretched upward.

For these and more facelift options, request a consultation.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
