FACELIFT TECHNIQUES AT YOUNIQUE
Traditional Facelift (SMAS)
A very common method that lifts and tightens the underlying muscle and tissue layer along with the skin, providing comprehensive rejuvenation for the lower face and jawline without looking overly tight.
Deep Plane Facelift
A more invasive technique that repositions deeper facial layers (muscle, fat pads, ligaments) for significant, natural, and enduring results, ideal for more severe sagging and deep folds
Mini Facelift (Short-Scar Facelift)
Uses shorter incisions around the ears to lift skin and tissues, suitable for mild to moderate sagging and a less invasive option.
The Younique Approach
Benefits of a Face Lift in Los Angeles
Tightens Skin
A face lift tightens skin and the muscles supporting it to stop the “sag” caused by all that sunshine, the loss of volume, and the passage of time.

The advanced techniques and technology at Younique Surgery Center, along with our surgical staff’s years of expertise, help to ensure that your face lift will look natural as well as beautiful!
Attentive Care
It’s not just about how you look, it’s about how you feel. Our entire staff is here for you to help you achieve the best you there is, inside and out.
Consultation
During a consultation, Dr. Youssef determines the most conservative approach that will deliver meaningful improvement. No two faces age the same way.
Your surgical plan may include one or more of the following, depending on your needs:
- Lower Facelift: Restores jawline clarity and reduces jowls
- Midface Lift: Repositions the cheeks for improved balance
- Neck Lift: Enhances neck contour for seamless harmony
- Mini Facelift: Ideal for earlier signs of aging with minimal excess skin
- Revision Facelift: Refines results from prior surgery with a more natural aesthetic
Procedure
While each procedure is individualized, patients can expect:
- Meticulous preoperative planning
- Surgery performed with attention to natural contours and longevity
- Clear postoperative instructions and ongoing support
- Regular follow-ups to monitor healing and refinement
Our goal is not only a beautiful result—but a calm, supported experience throughout.
Recovery
Healing after a facelift is gradual and discreet:
- Week 1: Swelling and bruising are most apparent; rest is encouraged
- Weeks 2–3: Improved comfort and appearance; many resume daily routines
- Weeks 4–6: Continued refinement and confidence returning
- Months ahead: Final settling and softening of results
Our team remains closely involved during recovery to ensure comfort and reassurance.
READY TO BEGIN?
Where are incisions placed?
Incisions are thoughtfully positioned to be as discreet as possible and designed to heal naturally.
How does this compare to fillers or injectables?
Injectables address volume and lines; a facelift addresses sagging and structural descent. They serve different purposes.
How long do results last?
Longevity varies, but many patients enjoy long-lasting improvement that continues to look natural over time.
Will people know I had surgery?
Most patients hear they look rested or refreshed—without others identifying why.
