Your Facelift Options
Lower Facelift and Neck Lift
The traditional facelift focuses on the lower half of the face and neck area. This comprehensive approach lifts the SMAS muscle and repositions the underlying tissues while minimizing any tension or pulling of the skin. This lower facelift technique is often performed in conjunction with neck rejuvenation, including the removal of neck fat, tightening the neck musculature, and redraping the neck skin.
Mini SMAS Facelift
Perfect for addressing mild to moderate aging signs, this less invasive surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia in our office. The SMAS muscle is lifted similarly to the lower facelift technique but in a less invasive manner that is conducive to local anesthesia. While primarily improving the lower face, most patients also achieve neck rejuvenation with a mini SMAS lift in Columbus.
Deep Plane Facelift and Deep Neck Lift
This technique can focus on both the midface and lower face through deeper tissue manipulation. The decision to enter the “deep plane” of the face can made intraoperatively when indicated with the goal of achieving additional repositioning of the cheek and/or around the mouth. While often resulting in more striking results, a Columbus deep plane facelift requires longer OR time, more cost, and longer recovery.
Secondary (Revision) Facelift
For patients who have had previous facelift surgery, revision or secondary procedures can provide additional correction. A careful evaluation during the consultation can help to ensure a safe and natural outcome, as there are additional factors to consider in these cases.
Complementary Services We Offer
These treatments can enhance your facelift results by restoring lost volume in specific areas of your face, creating a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
This collagen-stimulating injectable can be used before or after your facelift to enhance volume and improve skin quality for longer-lasting results.
Advanced laser treatments can improve skin texture and reduce wrinkles while complementing the lifting effects of your facelift surgery.
This non-surgical skin tightening treatment can enhance your results or help maintain them, particularly for mini SMAS lift patients seeking additional improvement.
How Much Does a Facelift in Columbus Cost?
Your initial consultation is $150, but this fee is applied toward your surgery if you decide to schedule. The cost for facelifts varies widely depending on your procedure: mini SMAS lifts start at $7,500 in the office, while more invasive procedures in the operating room can cost significantly more. Dr. Nogan will provide detailed pricing for your desired facelift during your consultation.
