Aging is inevitable, but looking older doesn’t have to be. If you’re starting to notice loose skin, sagging cheeks, or deep facial folds and wrinkles, a facelift with Dr. Sam Jejurikar can help restore your youthful contours and boost your confidence.
Dr. Jejurikar is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Dallas, TX, known for delivering natural, refined facelift results tailored to your unique features. With advanced surgical techniques and an artistic eye, you can count on him for exceptional facial rejuvenation outcomes with minimal downtime.
What Is a Facelift?
As the years go by and you reach your forties and fifties, the skin’s elasticity decreases, muscles loosen, and fat shifts downward, creating a tired or drooping appearance. When you look in the mirror, you may notice several classic signs of aging that trigger thoughts of getting a facelift, including sagging cheeks, creases, puffy and uneven skin, as well as an aging, sagging, and wrinkled neck.
Also known as rhytidectomy, a facelift can provide the most dramatic results to help improve those age-related conditions. By tightening your underlying muscles, removing any excess skin, and repositioning facial fat, Dr. Jejurikar can restore your smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking facial contours. A facelift procedure is designed to combat the visible signs of aging in the face and neck, leaving you with stunning results.
It’s important to note that facelifts can’t reverse all the signs of aging or damage that accumulate on the face over the years. However, many procedures can complement your facelift results, including brow lifts, blepharoplasty/eyelid surgery, and facial fillers.

What Are the Types of Facelifts Offered?
Dr. Jejurikar customizes each facelift to meet your unique facial structure and cosmetic goals. Whether you’re seeking subtle refinement or comprehensive rejuvenation, there’s a facelift technique that’s right for you.
The following are the facelift options we offer:
Traditional (Full) Facelifts: The traditional or full facelift is ideal for combating significant skin laxity, deep wrinkles, or noticeable jowls. The time-tested technique addresses both the midface and lower face, tightening the underlying muscles, repositioning fat, and removing excess skin to restore youthful contours. It offers the most dramatic and long-lasting results, making it ideal for those wanting a total transformation. This is also known as a SMAS Facelift, which is an advanced technique targeting the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS), the deeper layer of facial muscles and connective tissue. By repositioning and tightening the SMAS layer, the facelift results are more natural and longer-lasting than a skin-only lift. It’s a popular choice for individuals wanting dramatic rejuvenation.
Mini Facelifts: A mini facelift is a less invasive procedure that addresses mild to moderate signs of aging. Often referred to as the “weekend facelift,” it involves smaller incisions and a quicker recovery while lifting and tightening the jawline and lower cheeks. It’s a great option for patients looking to refresh their facial appearance with a more conservative approach. It is usually ideal for patients with early midfacial changes and minimal changes to their necks.
Deep Plane Facelifts: The deep plane facelift lifts both the skin and deeper facial structures in one cohesive layer, preserving natural blood flow and allowing for more comprehensive reshaping. It is ideal for those with moderate to severe aging who want a naturally lifted look, especially around the midface, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. This technique is known for its longevity and soft, youthful contours.
Facelift/Neck Lift Combination: Though technically a separate procedure, a neck lift is almost always performed with a facelift to enhance the chin and jawline. It addresses sagging skin, neck bands, and excess fat beneath the chin. Combining a neck lift with a facelift helps ensure a seamless transition between the face and neck, delivering a harmonious, youthful profile.
What Are the Benefits of a Facelift with Dr. Jejurikar?
Facelifts with Dr. Jejurikar offer numerous benefits, including the following:
- They tighten sagging skin, restore lost volume, reduce the appearance of hollow cheeks and loose jowls, and create a firmer, lifted look.
- They define the jawline and smooth out the jowls, leaving you with a more sculpted and youthful lower face that enhances your natural bone structure.
- They reduce deep creases like marionette lines and nasolabial folds, leaving your face looking smoother, clearer, and more refreshed.
- When combined with neck lifts, facelifts enhance the neck and chin contours, significantly reducing the appearance of a “turkey neck” or double chin.
- With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, most patients enjoy a rejuvenated appearance for years after surgery.
What You Can Expect During Your Facelift Procedure?
During your pre-surgery consultation, Dr. Jejurikar will evaluate your unique needs and explain what you can expect. He will also recommend the type of anesthetic most appropriate for you.
On the day of surgery, Dr. Jejurikar will make an incision under the hairline at the temples and around the ear to the lower scalp. The goal is to ensure your scars remain hidden under your hair and in the natural creases of your face and ears. Next, he will sculpt or redistribute the fat, lift the muscles and deep tissues, and redrape and trim the excess skin. If you’re also having a neck lift, Dr. Jejurikar will make a second incision under your chin.
The procedure typically takes several hours, and you’ll go home the same day or stay overnight based on your unique needs.
What Is the Recovery Timeline?
You should expect some swelling and bruising after a facelift, which should subside within a week or two. You should be able to return to your normal activities within two to three weeks.
- Days 1–3: Swelling and tightness are normal
- Week 1–2: Stitches removed, major swelling goes down
- Week 3+: Return to work, light activities
- 3–6 months: Final results reveal a refreshed, rejuvenated you
Dr. Jejurikar will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-ups to ensure your recovery is smooth and successful.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
You may benefit from a facelift if you:
- Notice visible sagging in the lower face or neck
- Have volume loss, jowls, or deep wrinkles
- Want long-term results compared to fillers
- Are in good health and have realistic expectations
Dr. Jejurikar will perform a thorough consultation, evaluating your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to help you determine if a facelift is the best option to deliver your desired results.
