Facelift

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Atlanta, GA

Over time, the natural aging process, sun exposure, and gravity can lead to visible changes in the face and neck, such as loose skin, deep creases, and a loss of youthful volume. For many individuals, these structural changes can cause them to look tired or older than they feel. Dr. James Depew offers customized facelift surgery designed to address these concerns by gently repositioning underlying tissues and removing excess skin. His goal is to provide a refreshed, natural-looking appearance that restores facial harmony and helps patients look and feel like the best version of themselves.

A successful facelift requires a highly individualized approach that respects each patient’s unique bone structure and facial anatomy. During your private consultation, Dr. Depew will perform a detailed facial evaluation and listen closely to your specific aesthetic goals. He will provide honest expectations about what a facelift can achieve and outline a customized surgical plan whether that involves focusing on the lower face and jawline, or pairing the procedure with other facial rejuvenations to deliver smooth, well-proportioned, and long-lasting results.

FAQ

What can a facelift address?

Common areas that are addressed with a facelift include the following:

 • Jowls and uneven jawline
 • Folds and creases around the mouth
 • Wrinkles and lines in the mid and lower face
 • Undefined facial features
 • Full, sagging, or wrinkled upper neck

Can someone be too young for a facelift?

Choosing to have a facelift is less about age and more about the degree of skin laxity in the lower part of the face. Some people in their 40s retain some skin elasticity, and a mini facelift can achieve their rejuvenation goals. Most people who have facelift surgery are in their 50s or 60s.

Will anyone be able to tell that I’ve had a facelift?

Modern facelift surgical techniques create a naturally refreshed look rather than the cliché wind-tunnel look of decades past. It won’t be obvious that you’ve had a facelift, you’ll simply look like a younger version of yourself.
