Present Your Best Self
Today, more than ever, people are always "on"—whether you're meeting with clients, attending events, or vacationing— a camera is never far away. However, the sun, getting older, genetics, gravity, stress, and other environmental variables can all cause premature aging and other changes to sensitive face and neck facial skin.
These factors can cause even the healthiest person's skin to age prematurely and look tired even if they maintain a strict skin care regimen. People throughout the metro Atlanta area come to triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Asaf Yalif for Facelift surgery at his Atlanta or Alpharetta, GA, practice because they trust him to create the more youthful yet natural look they want. He minimizes wrinkles and fine lines, restores youthful contours, and tightens loose, sagging skin to take years off without apparent signs of surgery. A Facelift is a highly effective procedure combined with non-surgical facial rejuvenation, such as fillers.

Advanced Procedure
Facelift surgeries, also known as rhytidectomy, are surgical procedures that enhance the facial appearance by removing extra skin and tightening the remaining skin and underlying tissue. This reduces wrinkles and sagging skin, giving the face and neck a more youthful and revitalized appearance.
Looking your best is important at any age. However, the effects of time, sun damage, genetics, and lifestyle factors can take a toll on your facial appearance. Even with a dedicated skincare routine, you might develop wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and a tired-looking expression. A facelift can help address these concerns and rejuvenate your appearance.
This is where cosmetic surgery, specifically facelift surgery, can be a transformative solution. With a facelift Atlanta patients that visit us can achieve remarkable results. A facelift is a highly effective procedure qualified facelift surgeons perform to address visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It can be combined with non-surgical facial rejuvenation techniques like fillers to achieve remarkable results.
Improve Your Look & Confidence
Men and women often consider Rhytidectomy when they become concerned about signs of aging that make them look older than they feel. Our Atlanta Facelift patients often ask if they’re either too young or too old for a Facelift, but age isn’t really an important factor when determining who are good facelift candidates. Someone in their mid-40s who is thinking about a non-surgical treatment may be better off with the long-lasting results that a facelift produces.
You’re likely a good candidate for a Facelift if you:
Being in good overall health and a non-smoker are also prerequisites for a Facelift. Smokers not only experience more post-op complications than other patients but can also expect shorter-lived results.
Understanding Your Facelift Procedure
The difference between Facelift techniques used 10 to 15 years ago and those used today is significant. When performed by a highly qualified and experienced facial plastic surgeon such as Dr. Yalif, a Facelift can produce remarkable results and take several years off your appearance. Many types of Facelift techniques exist, including some that promise more than they can deliver. Dr. Yalif primarily uses a technique called a SMAS lift, which he customizes based on each patient’s specific concerns. SMAS is short for the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of tissue and muscle just below the skin.
During your Facelift Atlanta patients will be put under general anesthesia at our surgery center. Dr. Yalif begins by making an incision at the temple, above the hairline. He then extends it along your skin’s natural crease in front of the ear, below the earlobe, and finishing behind the ear. The incision is virtually imperceptible after it heals. Dr. Yalif carefully exposes the SMAS layer, which he lifts, repositions, and tightens before re-draping the skin. He removes excess skin and then sutures the incisions, being careful to avoid a tight or “windswept” appearance. A SMAS lift minimizes the appearance of jowls and sagging in the mid-face and neck. Dr. Yalif can also modify the procedure to tighten loose neck skin. The procedure typically takes about 4 hours.
