Facelift in Las Vegas and Henderson, NV
Due to stress, genetics, harsh environmental factors, and lifestyle choice, the face is the one of the first areas that sees signs of aging. From sagging skin, jowls, fine lines and deep wrinkles, and an overall tired expression, it can be difficult to look in the mirror and recognize yourself as the person staring back.
One of the most requested procedures offered at our Henderson office is a facelift, a plastic surgery procedure that tightens loose skin, smooths lines and wrinkles, and restores a youthful facial appearance.
A facelift with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Himansu Shah can take decades off your face. The procedure will remove loose skin on your face and neck, tighten underlying muscles and tissues, and remove excess fat. The results are rejuvenated skin, refreshed facial contours, and a renewed sense of self and confidence.

What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure to rejuvenate the mid-to-lower face and neck. At Signature Plastic Surgery, Las Vegas facelift surgeon Dr. Shah offers a variety of facelift techniques that can vastly reduce signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying facial muscles, and re-draping the skin back into its youthful position around the neck and face.
In many cases, to create facial harmony, a facelift is often combined with other facial procedures, such as a neck lift and eyelid surgery.

What Types of Facelift Procedures Are There?
As one of the oldest cosmetic procedures, facelift techniques and methods have adapted into one form or another since early last century. Most people are familiar with “traditional” or “full” facelift, but over the past few years newer, advanced techniques and tools, like endoscopes, are now being utilized due to being less invasive and offering faster recovery times. Las Vegas plastic surgeon Dr. Shah can utilize a variety of different methods depending on your particular needs.
Signature Plastic Surgery offers three types of facelift techniques:
A full facelift aims to rejuvenate the face, jowls, and neck. This procedure involves the most amount of lifting and repositioning of the muscles and facial tissues. Fat is also repositioned or utilized in other areas of the face to help resolve areas that are beginning to look hollow like the cheeks or beneath the eyes. Lastly, excess skin is trimmed, then it’s draped into a more youthful position.
A mid-facelift procedure focuses on the middle of the face, particularly the cheeks. Mid-facelifts are used to reduce puffiness beneath the eyes, correct nasolabial folds, and improve the definition of the cheeks. During this procedure, Dr. Shah uses small incisions in the lower eyelid or the mouth to carefully contour and adjust the mid-section of the face.
A limited-incision facelift is used when the patient doesn’t have much sagging to attend to. This procedure involves limited rejuvenation around the eyes and mouth, including the nasolabial folds and other deep creases. Shorter incisions are made at the temples, around the ears, and possibly in the lower eyelids and/or under the upper lip.
A mini facelift procedure is an ideal option for patients who have mild jowling and sagging skin around their face. An incision is placed along the hairline to lift and tighten the deep muscles around the cheeks. It can also help to tighten the skin and rejuvenate the lower portion of the face to give a younger-looking appearance.
A traditional facelift addresses moderate to advanced aging around the mid-face and neck. To further tighten the muscles and remove excess skin, liposuction can be added to the procedure to create more dramatic results. Similar to the incisions used for a mini facelift, they start at the posterior of the ear and just behind the hairline. Dr. Shah can then reposition the deeper tissues beneath the skin and remove excess skin to smooth creases, remove fat with liposuction, and eliminate jowls and sagging beneath the chin.

He ensures his patients have complete peace of mind when choosing their procedure by educating them every step of the way.

Facelift can be done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia per patient’s preference.

What to Expect from a Facelift Recovery?
Recovering from a facelift takes time and plenty of rest. Facial tissue has been lifted and repositioned, causing trauma, swelling, and bruising to the skin. After your surgery, your face will be wrapped in bandages and gauze, and draining tubes will most likely be in place. The first few days will be uncomfortable, but Dr. Shah can help you manage any discomfort with medication. You will need to sleep with your head elevated for the first week to help ease swelling. Many patients experience numbness in the treated areas, which is normal and is due to the facial nerves adjusting to their new positions. Most patients are able to return to work after the third week of their recovery.
