At Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery, you are the focus of everything we do. If you wish to undergo a facelift, our cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Tsion Berhane, will take a personalized approach to planning your procedure, one that honors your individuality.
Dr. Berhane will combine advanced surgical skill with an artist’s eye for balance and proportion when she performs your facelift in Silver Spring. You will feel supported, heard, and cared for throughout your facial surgery and recuperation period.
A facelift—also known as a rhytidectomy—is a surgical procedure that reduces visible signs of aging in your face and neck. By repositioning deeper facial tissues and tightening your skin, Dr. Berhane can smooth the lines on your face, lift sagging areas, and create natural-looking results. You will look like yourself, just refreshed.
Dr. Berhane will carefully tailor your Silver Spring facelift to your unique facial structure, aging pattern, and aesthetic goals. Her approach emphasizes subtlety and precision, so your face will look rejuvenated, not overdone.
Dr. Berhane may use a single surgical procedure for your fully customized Silver Spring rhytidectomy or combine more than one of the following approaches.
A full facelift rejuvenates the middle portion of the face–including the jawline and neck–by lifting underlying tissues, tightening muscles, and removing excess skin. This approach provides the most comprehensive improvement for moderate to advanced facial aging.
Sometimes referred to as a short-scar facelift, a mini facelift is a less invasive option that targets the lower face and jawline with smaller incisions. The recovery time is shorter than that of a full facelift. A mini facelift is suitable if you are beginning to notice early sagging, but still have good skin elasticity. This type of surgery refines contours and restores a youthful appearance to the jawline without requiring significant downtime.
If your primary concern is your sagging cheeks or under-eye area, a mid-facelift may be an appropriate option. This procedure focuses on restoring volume and lift in the center of your face. By tightening deeper tissues around your cheeks, Dr. Berhane will help you regain a refreshed, natural look, especially in the area between your nose and lower eyelids.
Many of our patients choose to combine a facelift and neck lift to extend their youthful look from their hairline to their neckline. A neck lift tightens loose skin and underlying muscles in your neck to remove banding and improve contour.
With age, you may lose volume in your cheeks, temples, or under your eyes. Fat transfer uses your natural fat to restore youthful fullness. This gentle technique can complement your facelift by smoothing and enhancing facial contours that have diminished over time.
Before your facelift, you will have a consultation with Dr. Berhane. She will listen carefully to your concerns, examine your facial anatomy, and recommend a personalized plan tailored to your surgery. During the procedure, she will make discreet incisions—most likely along your hairline and around your ears. This will allow her to lift and reposition tissues beneath your skin. Dr. Berhane will trim your excess skin and refine the contours of your face and neck to restore your profile, making it look smoother and more youthful.
Most of our Silver Spring, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, North Bethesda patients who undergo facelifts can return to light activities within one to two weeks of their surgery, depending on the extent of the procedure. Swelling and bruising are usually temporary and will gradually subside as your face settles into its rejuvenated shape.
You can expect to see visible improvement once the swelling decreases, with final results appearing within a few months. Your refreshed appearance can last many years, especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and take good care of your skin.
