Facelift
A Facelift smoothens the contours of the nose and mouth and tightens loose skin while removing fat around the neck. Whether you’re aiming for a refreshed glow, free from wrinkles and sagging skin, or you’re seeking a more symmetrical look, a Facelift can help you achieve it in just 2 to 4.5 hours.

What to expect during and after your Facelift.
Before the procedure
Have a consultation to confirm eligibility, discuss goals, and plan your procedure.
Maintain your skincare routine with cleansing, sunscreen, and moisturizer.
Adjust health habits like stopping medications that increase bleeding and quitting smoking.
Prepare for recovery by arranging transportation, a support person, and a cozy space.
Fast from midnight the night before your surgery (no food or drink).
The procedure day
Receive local or general anesthesia for complete comfort during your procedure.
Incisions are made along the hairline and around the ears.
Your provider repositions tissues, removes excess skin, and tightens the remaining skin.
Incisions are closed with sutures or skin adhesives, and bandages are applied.
Begin recovery with expert guidance to ensure smooth healing every step of the way.
After the procedure
Attend your post-procedure appointment within 24–48 hours for a recovery check.
Wear your bandage and avoid strenuous activities for the first 2 weeks.
Gently cleanse your bandages when changing them, avoiding any pulling or poking.
Take prescribed medication for pain and discomfort as directed.
Wait until week 3 for your surgeon to remove your bandage.

Because a Facelift smooths out deep wrinkles and reduces sagging, many clients report higher self-esteem and a confidence boost after the procedure. Now, when they look in the mirror, they see the version of themselves they’ve been waiting to become.
Your face is one of a kind. Your Facelift should be, too. This procedure is fully customizable and designed to match your individual goals and facial structure. With a range of advanced techniques available, you have the power to personally shape a look that feels true to you.
Facelifts can be combined with other procedures, like a neck lift or eyelid surgery to give you that all-around, full-facial renewal. Pairing your Facelift with another procedure leads to a more balanced look and feel, and it also saves you recovery time.
Facelift surgery, like any procedure, carries some risks, including anesthesia complications, bleeding, and fluid buildup. There’s also the potential for nerve injury, infections, skin changes, or prolonged swelling. In rare cases, unsatisfactory results may lead to asymmetry or the need for revision surgery. Always discuss these risks thoroughly with your surgeon before moving forward.
Some clients may experience scarring, temporary hair loss around incision sites, or, in rare cases, skin necrosis. While scars are inevitable, strategic incision placement and proper aftercare help them fade. Hair typically regrows within a few months, and risks like skin loss are reduced by avoiding smoking and maintaining good circulation.
Temporary changes in facial sensation or movement can happen, but usually resolve over time. In some cases, touch-up procedures may be needed down the line to maintain your results and preserve your refreshed look.

Financing is how most Bliss clients bring their dreams to life. Yet, 76% of people exploring procedures still don’t know this option is available. No wonder 85% of those who don’t book say affordability is holding them back, and two-thirds would be more likely to move forward if they knew financing was an option.
We work with trusted lenders like CareCredit to offer you a range of financing options, so you can get started on your procedure now and pay over time. Flexible, secure, and with 0% interest for up to 24 months, it’s care that fits your budget, not the other way around. With multiple providers, we’ll make sure you get the best rate possible.
One of the most important parts of your aesthetic journey is finding the right surgeon for your procedure. One who will honor and respect your comfort level, aesthetic goals, and give you the results you’ve been wanting. But how do you know when you’ve found “the one?”
Board certification
Surgeons who are certified in aesthetic or ophthalmic surgery have undergone rigorous training and must pass comprehensive written and oral exams. Certification ensures that the surgeon has met high standards of education, training, and ethical practice.
Experience and specialization
Look for a surgeon who specializes in your chosen Facelift type and performs them regularly. Don’t be shy. Question them about their specific experience extensively. A surgeon who frequently performs your desired procedure is likely to have refined their technique, leading to better results.
Bedside manner and communication
It should be your practitioner’s top priority to make you feel comfortable, safe, and heard. They should listen to your goals and concerns and provide clear, honest answers to your questions. A good practitioner will not pressure you into additional procedures and will suggest options that are best for your health and beauty goals.
Before and after photos
Reviewing “before” and “after” photos is fun, but that doesn’t make it any less serious a step when choosing a surgeon for a Facelift. Photos of previous clients who have undergone the procedure can give you a sense of their work and the results you can expect. All photos should be available to you during your consultation, even if they are not posted online due to privacy concerns.
Facility accreditation
A Blepharoplasty should only be performed in an accredited facility. Accredited surgical centers meet strict safety and quality standards, providing a safe environment for your procedure. Look for accreditation from organizations such as the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF) or the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
