A facelift is a rejuvenation procedure that enhances your appearance by minimizing signs of aging.

When you want the very best you go to Dr. Barone. I recently had a mini facelift, and my husband couldn't believe it. He kept saying, "Wow, you look incredible! Dr. Barone did an amazing job." Then Dr. Barone removed a lifetime of sun damage from my face and neck. I feel very blessed and fortunate to have had the talents, wisdom, and surgical precision of a genius like Dr. Barone helping me look and feel my best. OUTSTANDING SURGEON!!!

Consider a Facelift If These Factors Apply to You
The best way to determine if facelift surgery is a good fit for you is to visit Dr. Barone at her San Antonio, TX, office for a consultation. In general, good candidates for a facelift meet these criteria:
Good Overall Health
As with any other medical procedure you undergo, you should be in good overall health to reduce risks and maximize your body's ability to heal. Patients are generally in their 40s to 60s when they decide to pursue facelift surgery.
Nonsmoker
Cigarettes and tobacco products interfere with your body's ability to heal. In order to have a successful procedure and heal without complications, you should stop smoking and using tobacco at least a month before your facelift.
Realistic Expectations
It's important to remember that no plastic surgeon can completely stop the signs of aging. For more comprehensive change, consider combining a facelift with a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Types of Facelifts Offered by Dr. Barone
Traditional
A standard facelift is the most comprehensive type of facelift, affecting a larger portion of the face. This is the best option for eliminating excess skin, smoothing wrinkles, and removing jowls. A traditional facelift is an effective response for moderate to advanced signs of aging.
QuickLift™
The QuickLift™ lifts and tightens loose skin from the lower region of the face using minimally invasive techniques. A type of mini facelift, the QuickLift is less invasive than a traditional facelift, making recovery time faster and scarring minimal. This facelift method can remove up to 10 years or more from your appearance.

In this video, Dr. Constance Barone and her patient Sharon discuss Sharon's QuickLift® procedure. This type of facelift targets the bottom third of the face and leaves very minimal scarring.

Plastic surgery from Dr. Barone in San Antonio can minimize these characteristics so you have an energized look that matches the way you feel. Whether you're dealing with advanced signs of aging or moderate sagging skin, our plastic surgeon can help revitalize your face.

An Overview of the Facelift Procedure
Whenever possible, Dr. Barone performs local (or "awake") surgery as she feels it is less risky and provides many benefits to the patient. Utilizing a local anesthetic instead of general anesthesia allows the patient to recover more quickly, feel less discomfort during the recovery process, and return to daily tasks in less time.
Incisions will be placed carefully to minimize scaring after surgery.
Recovering From Facelift Surgery
The First Few Days
You will need to take time off of work after your surgery so you can rest properly. It is best to have a friend or family member help you with tasks for the first few days after surgery. Dr. Barone will prescribe pain medication and give you detailed instructions on how to deal with side effects.
The First Few Weeks
Swelling and bruising will be prominent for about the first week after your surgery. By week 2, the side effects should be notably diminished. Patients are typically able to return to work after two weeks of recovery, if not sooner.
A Month Later
The swelling and bruising will continue to subside as the weeks go on. You will continue to attend follow-up appointments in San Antonio. During these visits, Dr. Barone will check to see if there are any unseen complications. By a year later, you should see the final results of your facelift.

Our QuickLift surgery patient Sharon was very satisfied with the results of her treatment and her experience with Dr. Barone.
Maintaining Your Rhytidectomy Results
The sun's UV rays can age your skin, so be sure to wear sunscreen and sunglasses when possible. Avoid tanning beds, too. Creating a daily skincare routine with anti-aging products can keep your skin smooth and healthy. Moisturizers and hyaluronic acid can keep your skin hydrated, minimizing signs of aging.
Your diet also plays a role in the health of your skin. Green vegetables, fruits, and grains can keep your skin looking youthful. Drinking plenty of water will keep you hydrated and improve skin elasticity.
Covering the Cost Of Your Procedure
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, can greatly improve your happiness and self-esteem and be far more valuable than its dollar amount. Dr. Barone believes in keeping reasonable rates, and occasionally offers limited-time deals.
In addition to accepting cash, major credit cards, and checks, Dr. Barone's San Antonio office partners with credible lenders so patients can finance treatment. CareCredit® and ALPHAEON allow patients to pay for their procedure over a series of payments rather than all at once.
Our team is happy to help you review your payment and finance options to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Combine These Treatments For Optimal Results
A facelift creates dramatic results that can turn the clock back years on your appearance. For even more comprehensive results, consider combining a facelift with these procedures:
Laser Skin Resurfacing
In laser skin rejuvenation, outer layers of damaged skin are removed and replaced by underlying layers for smoother, healthier skin with fewer wrinkles and brown spots. Laser treatment can help your skin looks its best after a facelift.
Injectables
Dermal fillers can help add volume to areas affected by aging, such as plumping thinned lips. BOTOX Cosmetic is an injectable treatment that relaxes muscles, keeping fine lines and wrinkles at bay after a facelift.
Blepharoplasty
Sagging skin on your upper eyelids and puffy skin below your lower eyelids can diminish your attractiveness and give you a tired appearance. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat deposits, giving your eyes a fresh look.
