Facelift Surgery in Beverly Hills
Rejuvenate your appearance with expert facelift procedures by Dr. Lloyd Krieger.
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery designed to address signs of aging on the face and neck. The procedure involves repositioning and tightening underlying muscles and tissues, removing excess skin, and smoothing out wrinkles and folds. This results in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Benefits of Facelift Surgery
- Reduces Sagging: Tightens loose skin on the face and neck.
- Improves Contours: Enhances the jawline and neckline.
- Minimizes Wrinkles: Smooths deep lines and folds.
- Boosts Confidence: Restores a youthful, vibrant look.
Facelift Techniques Offered
Dr. Krieger offers several facelift techniques tailored to individual needs:
- Traditional Facelift:
- Addresses comprehensive facial aging, providing long-lasting results.
- Mini-Facelift:
- Targets early signs of aging with shorter incisions and recovery time.
- Endoscopic Facelift:
- Utilizes minimal incisions and a camera for precise tissue lifting.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for facelift surgery are individuals who:
- Are in good overall health.
- Have realistic expectations about the procedure.
- Experience sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or loss of facial volume.
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit before surgery.
The Facelift Procedure
The facelift procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia or sedation is administered for comfort.
- Incision Placement: Incisions are made along natural lines to minimize visible scarring.
- Tissue Repositioning: Underlying muscles and tissues are lifted and tightened.
- Excess Skin Removal: Excess skin is trimmed, and remaining skin is re-draped smoothly.
- Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings are applied.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the surgery, but generally, patients can expect:
- Initial Swelling and Bruising: Common in the first few days.
- Return to Light Activities: Typically within 1-2 weeks.
- Resumption of Normal Activities: Usually after 3-4 weeks.
- Final Results: Become more apparent as swelling subsides over several months.
Dr. Krieger provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

As with any surgical procedure, facelift surgery carries potential risks, including:
- Infection or bleeding.
- Scarring.
