Not sure what you may have going on but if you need a GREAT plastic surgeon, you will be doing worse by not choosing Dr Rodriguez. He treated me in the ER, did all the follow up work, and now I look like new…

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It focuses on lifting and repositioning underlying facial tissues, removing excess skin, and restoring smoother, firmer contours for a more youthful appearance.

Facelift surgery is especially effective for addressing sagging skin, deep folds around the nose and mouth, loss of jawline definition, and loose skin in the lower face and neck. Rather than changing how you look, the goal is to refresh your appearance while maintaining natural facial expressions.

At San Diego Plastic Surgery Center, facelift procedures are performed by Dr. Jose Rodriguez, a board-certified plastic surgeon known for delivering natural-looking facial rejuvenation results. Each treatment is customized based on your facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals to ensure balanced and long-lasting outcomes.

Facelift Before and After

Facelift FAQ

How much does a facelift cost?

The total cost of your facelift will vary based on the technique used. In your consultation, Dr. Rodriguez will develop your unique treatment plan based on your needs and goals. Once this is complete, he can discuss estimates of fees. To avoid results that look unnatural, it’s better to concentrate on finding an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Rodriguez, instead of the cheapest price. San Diego Plastic Surgery Center can help you find low-interest financing to make your facelift affordable.

Which technique is best for me?

The best technique for you will depend on your concerns, goals, level of skin laxity, what areas of your face are being addressed, and more. To produce your best results, Dr. Rodriguez will explain the different techniques in your consultation. He can then help you choose which technique is best for you.

Should I get a surgical or nonsurgical facelift?

Although there are several great nonsurgical skin tightening treatments, these can only give you mild improvements. For moderate to severe skin sagging, facelift surgery is the best choice to significantly improve your appearance. In your consultation, Dr. Rodriguez will discuss your choices, including nonsurgical treatments, to help you select which is best for your goals.

Am I a good candidate for a facelift?

You may be a good candidate if you have sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or loss of jawline definition and want longer-lasting results than non-surgical treatments. A consultation is the best way to determine the right approach for your goals.

How long is facelift recovery?

Most patients return to normal activities within 10 to 14 days, with swelling and bruising improving steadily. Final results continue to refine over the following weeks.

Will my facelift look natural?

Yes. When performed by an experienced surgeon, a facelift is designed to restore a more youthful appearance while preserving your natural facial expressions—without looking tight or overdone.
