A facelift may be just the right procedure, If you feel like your face has started showing some obvious signs of age, and if you wish you could gain a more youthful appearance.
A facelift at Tijuana Facelift is designed to correct signs of facial aging, such as deep creases, jowls along the cheeks and jawline, and loose or sagging skin. As we grow older and our body’s natural collagen production diminishes, the skin typically loses its elasticity and the underlying facial muscles as well as fatty deposits can become lax. Combined, these changes can obscure the youthful contours of the face and make patients look much older than they feel.
A facelift is a powerful solution to correct signs of facial aging. By repositioning and tightening the underlying facial tissue, Dr. Illich Navarro reveals one’s natural facial contours, creating a more rejuvenated and vital appearance. Results are very natural, patients look like they feel— a younger, more vibrant version of themselves.
A facelift primarily addresses signs of aging in the region between the cheekbones and the neck. If you would like to refresh the upper third of the face, eyelid surgery—with or without the addition of a brow lift—can help you eliminate sagging skin and musculature in the region above the cheeks. For comprehensive rejuvenation, it is not uncommon for patients to incorporate multiple procedures into their treatment plan for the best possible results.
Swelling is to be expected for roughly six months after surgery, but the majority of inflammation should dissipate within the first three months. You can help swelling subside during the recovery period by sleeping with the head slightly elevated, limiting salt intake, and wearing any compression garments or dressings for the amount of time prescribed by Dr. Illich Navarro.
While the general facelift procedure is the same for all patients, there are key differences in male and female facial aesthetics that Dr. Illich Navarro considers when performing plastic surgery for men. This involves restoring a more youthful version of a male patient while avoiding an “overdone,” or overly tight appearance. Care is taken to preserve the masculine contours of the face and conceal scarring for a subtle, natural-looking result.
There is truly no “best age” for a facelift, and candidacy for the procedure simply relies on whether you want to address the concerns that a facelift seeks to resolve. There are individuals in their fifties who may not need facial rejuvenation, while other patients in their thirties may exhibit jowling or loose skin and benefit from a facelift. If your aesthetic goals include a more youthful facial appearance, Dr. Illich Navarro can assess your concerns and help you decide whether a facelift is the most ideal treatment for your needs.

No, but the ultimate result depends heavily on the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon.
In the early days of facial plastic surgery, the standard technique used was to pull the skin back, trim off the excess and then close the incisions. Modern plastic surgery techniques have advanced tremendously. Today we are using sophisticated methods of lifting and tightening underlying muscle, and restoring lost volume for a more natural looking outcome.
The total time a facelift takes varies from patient to patient, dependent upon they exact procedures needed to give the patient their desired results. On average, facelift surgery takes 3 to 4 hours.
For a simple cheek/temple lift, also called a mid face lift, the time would be approximately 2 hours.
For a facelift, neck lift and an eye lift, surgery could take 5 or 6 hours.
There are some lifestyle issues that can accelerate aging such as smoking, unprotected exposure to sun and drug or alcohol abuse.
Patients in good health can expect a facelift to last a long time. However, keep in mind that your body does continue to age. So just as you aged before your facelift, you will continue to age after your facelift.
