What Is a Facelift?

A facelift is a facial rejuvenation procedure that restores smoother, firmer contours by lifting underlying tissues, refining facial structure, and reducing signs of aging. Rather than simply tightening skin, modern facelifts focus on deeper structural support to create natural-looking, long-lasting improvement. Dr. Torkian carefully customizes facelifts in Beverly Hills to preserve facial harmony while addressing sagging skin, volume loss, deep folds, and loss of jawline definition.

Results were better than I had hoped. I feel like I have my old face back from 20 years ago, incisions were brilliantly hidden, and there were so many follow-ups to make sure healing is going as planned. Honestly, I expected scars, but only one month post-op, I'm looking AMAZING! Dr Torkian and the whole staff are highly knowledgeable and pleasant. Wish I went in sooner.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

You may be a good candidate for a facelift in Beverly Hills if you are bothered by sagging skin, jowls, deep facial folds, loss of jawline definition, or loose skin through the lower face and neck. Many patients seek facelift surgery when non-surgical treatments no longer provide meaningful improvement or when facial aging begins affecting overall facial harmony and balance.

The ideal candidates are typically in good overall health, non-smokers, and able to heal properly after surgery. Dr. Torkian carefully evaluates skin quality, facial structure, tissue laxity, and your long-term goals. Using a meticulous three-dimensional approach, he determines whether facelift surgery is the most appropriate option for achieving refined, natural-looking rejuvenation.

What Are the Benefits of a Facelift?

A facelift offers more than tighter skin alone, delivering comprehensive rejuvenation through refined structural enhancement and contour restoration. Key benefits of a facelift include:

  • Smoother, firmer facial contours
  • Reduced sagging along the jawline and neck
  • Softened deep folds and facial creases
  • More defined cheek and jawline structure
  • Restoration of a refreshed, well-rested appearance
  • Long-lasting improvement compared to non-surgical treatments
  • Natural-looking rejuvenation without an overdone appearance
  • Enhanced confidence in social and professional settings
  • Rejuvenation tailored to your unique facial anatomy

Types of Facelift Available

Deep Plane Facelift

Mini Facelift

A mini facelift addresses early signs of facial aging concentrated around the lower face and jawline. Using shorter incisions and less extensive tissue repositioning, this procedure creates subtle, refined improvements for patients with mild skin laxity and developing jowls who seek a refresh with a shorter recovery time.

Scarless Pony Lift

The Scarless Pony Lift elevates facial tissues vertically to create a refreshed, lifted appearance with minimal scarring. Specifically performed for patients seeking elegant facial rejuvenation, this specialized technique enhances cheek position, jawline definition, and facial balance while maintaining natural-looking movement and expression.

Non-Surgical Facelift

A non-surgical facelift uses strategically placed injectables and skin-rejuvenation treatments to improve facial contours without surgery. Dr. Torkian takes a conservative, precision-focused approach, avoiding overfilled or artificial results while subtly restoring facial volume, smoothness, and youthful facial definition.

Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

Will my facelift look natural?

Yes. Dr. Torkian specializes exclusively in facial plastic surgery and focuses on refined, structurally sound rejuvenation rather than an overly tight appearance. By repositioning deeper facial tissues instead of simply pulling the skin, he creates smoother contours while preserving your natural facial identity, movement, and balance.

How long do facelift results last?

Facelift results are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying improvement for 7 to 10 years or longer, depending on genetics, lifestyle, skin quality, and sun exposure. While a facelift cannot stop the aging process, it can significantly reset the appearance of facial aging and help you maintain a younger-looking appearance for many years.

Will I have visible scars after facelift surgery?

All surgeries involve incisions, but Dr. Torkian places facelift incisions within the natural contours around the ears and hairline to minimize visibility. As healing progresses, scars continue fading over several months and become increasingly difficult to detect.

Can a facelift improve my neck and jawline?

Yes. Facelift procedures commonly improve loose skin, jowling, and heaviness in the lower face and neck. Depending on your anatomy and goals, Dr. Torkian may also recommend combining your facelift with a neck lift for more comprehensive contour refinement.

At what age should I consider a facelift?

There is no specific age that is considered “right” for facelift surgery. Many patients begin considering a facelift in their 40s through 60s when skin laxity, facial descent, and volume loss become more noticeable. However, your candidacy depends more on facial anatomy, tissue quality, and your aesthetic goals than age alone.
