Facelift Benefits
A facelift is designed to restore a smoother, firmer and more youthful appearance by addressing the visible signs of facial aging. As skin loses elasticity and underlying tissues shift over time, a facelift can help turn back the clock with natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Key benefits of a face lift include:
- Reduced sagging and wrinkles in the mid-face, jawline and neck.
- Refined facial contours and a more defined facial profile.
- Improved jawline and neckline.
- Natural-looking rejuvenation.
- Long-lasting results.
- Boosted confidence and self-image.

Am I a Candidate for Facelift Surgery?
A facelift is ideal for men and women who are bothered by sagging skin, deep facial folds, jowls or loss of jawline definition that cannot be corrected with noninvasive or minimally invasive treatments alone. You may be a good candidate for face lift surgery if you:
- Are in overall good health.
- Are at a healthy, stable weight.
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit before surgery.
- Have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.
During your consultation, Dr. Yee will evaluate your facial structure, skin elasticity and areas of concern, as well as review your medical history to determine if a facelift could be right for you. In some cases, Dr. Yee may recommend combining a facelift with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a neck lift or brow lift, to best achieve your cosmetic goals. For patients who are not quite ready for a full facelift, a mini facelift may be a suitable solution.

The Facelift Procedure
Facelift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on Dr. Yee’s recommendation and the extent of your procedure. Most face lifts are done on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day after a short recovery period.
The procedure generally takes 2 to 4 hours to complete, although the exact time varies based on whether additional procedures are performed at the same time. During surgery, Dr. Yee carefully places incisions along the hairline and around the ears to conceal scars within natural contours. Through these incisions, Dr. Yee then tightens underlying facial muscles, repositions deeper tissues and removes excess skin to create a smoother, more lifted result.
Once the desired improvements are made, the incisions are closed and a soft dressing or bandage will be applied to support healing and minimize swelling.
Facelift Recovery
It’s common to experience mild swelling, bruising and tightness in the first few days after your facelift, though these effects should gradually improve over the next 2 weeks. Dr. Yee will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to care for your incisions, when to remove dressings and when to return for follow-up visits.
Most people feel comfortable returning to work and resuming normal activities within 10 to 14 days, though you will still need to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Keeping your head elevated and following all post-operative directions helps to minimize swelling and promote healing.
As swelling fades and tissues settle, you’ll begin to see your refreshed facial contours take shape. With proper care, recovery is typically smooth, and scars become less noticeable over time.
Your Facelift Results
Once initial swelling and bruising subside, you’ll begin to notice a smoother, firmer and more youthful appearance. Early improvements are typically visible within around 4 to 6 weeks, and you should have a good idea of what your final result will look like around the six-month mark. However, it can take a year or more for your facelift results to completely settle and fully develop.
A face lift can provide a natural, long-lasting rejuvenation, restoring definition to the jawline, reducing deep creases and tightening sagging skin without changing your unique facial character. Many patients find they look years younger and feel more confident in their appearance.
Patient’s Journey to Confidence
Financing Makes the Finest Results Affordable
Dr. Suzanne Yee offers many cosmetic surgery financing options to patients that can allow you to pay for your facelift in low-interest and interest-free lines of credit. It won’t affect your credit score to see if you apply, and our staff is available to answer any questions you might have.
Nonsurgical Facial Enhancement
Discover RENUVION
Dr. Yee offers RENUVION, a non-surgical facial enhancement treatment that can tighten loose skin, restore the definition of your facial features, and help you achieve a younger-looking visage without surgery.
Instead of removing and repositioning tissue, this approach uses a combination of radiofrequency (RF) and helium plasma energies to tighten tissue that has developed laxity due to age, sun damage, and other factors. It requires only small, minimally invasive incisions that allow Dr. Yee to apply the RENUVION device to the treatment area.
During a consultation at her Little Rock plastic surgery office, Dr. Yee can explain this option and determine if you are a candidate. Generally speaking, this treatment is best suited to patients with lighter skin tones experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity. Dr. Yee is committed to providing you with the very best result, and will take plenty of time to help you choose the right approach to realizing your goals.
Facelift FAQ
During your consultation at our Little Rock office, you can ask as many questions as you like in order to make an informed choice about her services. Below are just a few of the most frequently asked questions about facelifts, with answers to help you understand the basics:
The exact cost of a facelift in Little Rock varies, depending on the extent of correction needed and your individual goals. Dr. Yee and her team will be able to provide you with a personalized facelift cost estimate at the time of your consultation. For more information about cost or financing options, please contact us.
If you are in good health and feel self-conscious about signs of aging that cannot be addressed with noninvasive or minimally invasive treatments, you may be a great candidate for a facelift. Dr. Yee will base her recommendation on your medical history, the current state of your health, and what you hope to achieve.
There’s no “best” age for a facelift. The right age for you depends on your skin quality and aging concerns. Most patients consider a facelift in their 40s to 60s, when sagging skin and deeper wrinkles become more noticeable.
It depends on your concerns. A mini facelift targets mild sagging around the lower face and jawline with smaller incisions and shorter recovery, while a full facelift addresses more significant aging in the midface, jowls and neck. Dr. Yee can recommend the best option based on your skin laxity and desired results.
This depends on many factors. Although a facelift can provide significant rejuvenation, the effects of aging will continue to become apparent over time. You can prolong your results by minimizing sun exposure, abstaining from smoking, and generally leading a healthy lifestyle.
As with any surgery, a facelift carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring and temporary numbness or nerve irritation. In rare cases, patients may experience delayed healing or minor asymmetry as the tissues settle. Choosing an experienced board-certified surgeon like Dr. Yee and carefully following post-op instructions helps to minimize these risks and support a smooth recovery.
Every facelift is completely customized, so if you wish to rejuvenate your neck as well as your face, Dr. Yee can incorporate a neck lift into your procedure. The beauty of choosing a surgeon like Dr. Yee is that she will create your treatment plan from scratch, based entirely on your goals and needs.
No, facelift surgery is not typically covered by insurance because it is considered to be a cosmetic procedure.
This is a popular term for the process of achieving facial rejuvenation using only injectable treatments, which can benefit those with early signs of aging who do not yet wish to have surgery. Dr. Yee provides every degree of enhancement, from noninvasive to surgical, and can even combine treatments from both categories to achieve your ideal look.
