Rejuvenating Facial Harmony While Preserving Natural Expression
Facelift: Restore Youthful Contours with Precision & Artistry
Facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) is a transformative yet natural-looking procedure designed to reverse visible signs of aging, restoring firmness, definition, and youthful contours to the face and neck. As one of the leading authorities in facelift surgery, Dr. Gregory LaTrenta employs advanced techniques that deliver subtle yet striking improvements—enhancing facial structure while maintaining your natural expressions.
A Comprehensive Solution for Facial Aging
What is Facelift?
Facelift surgery is a customized facial rejuvenation procedure that restores youthfulness by addressing:
- Sagging in the midface that leads to flattened cheek contours
- Deep creases along the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Jowls and loss of definition along the jawline
- Loose skin and excess fat beneath the chin and neck (double chin effect)
- Fat displacement or volume loss that diminishes facial balance
A facelift does not alter your fundamental appearance—it simply restores a more youthful, refreshed version of yourself.
Dr. LaTrenta often recommends combining a facelift with complementary procedures such as:
- Brow Lift – Elevates a sagging brow for a more open, youthful eye area.
- Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) – Reduces under-eye bags and drooping lids for a well-rested look.
- Fat Grafting or Fillers – Restores lost volume for a naturally lifted effect.
The Procedure: Advanced Techniques for Natural Results
As the author of the best-selling textbook “Atlas of Face and Neck Surgery”, Dr. LaTrenta is a leading expert in facelift techniques, ensuring that each procedure is meticulously tailored to the individual’s unique facial anatomy and aging patterns.
Surgical Approach
- Incision Placement – Typically hidden within the sideburn, around the ear, and behind the earlobe, ensuring minimal visibility.
- Skin Undermining & Lifting – The deeper layers of the face are repositioned and tightened for long-lasting support.
- Muscle & Fat Contouring – SMAS lifting (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) tightens the deeper facial tissues for natural, youthful definition.
- Neck & Jawline Enhancement – Liposuction may be used to refine the neck, jowls, and double chin, achieving a sleek, sculpted jawline.
- Minimal Scarring & Hair Preservation – Modern techniques eliminate the need for incisions within the hairline, allowing patients to wear their hair up post-surgery without concerns.
Who is the Best Candidate for a Facelift?
You may be a good candidate for facelift surgery if you have:
Recovery & Aftercare: A Smooth, Comfortable Healing Process
Dr. LaTrenta’s expert surgical technique minimizes downtime while ensuring a comfortable recovery and optimal outcome.
- Initial Healing (First Week) – Mild swelling and bruising occur but gradually subside. Cold compresses and prescribed medication aid in comfort.
- Return to Normal Activities (2-3 Weeks) – Most patients resume daily routines and social activities within two to three weeks.
- Strenuous Activities & Exercise (4-6 Weeks) – Patients can gradually reintroduce workouts and vigorous activities.
- Long-Term Skin Protection – Sun exposure should be avoided in the early weeks, and long-term daily sunscreen use is recommended to maintain results.
