What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, technically called a rhytidectomy, is a facial cosmetic surgery targeting the mid and lower face. With the help of specialized techniques, drooping skin is lifted to attain a more well-defined appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate?
The facelift procedure is commonly performed for patients ages 40 or older. Ideal candidates for facelift surgery are in good overall health, are non-smokers, and have realistic expectations.
Visible skin laxity is the major consideration for candidacy, but patients should still have some degree of skin elasticity to be eligible. Patients must not have any underlying conditions that could get in the way of healing and recovery.
Your Facelift Consultation
In order to determine your compatibility for facelift surgery, your consultation will involve a physical examination of your face and neck. Photographs may be taken for your before-and-after comparison so you can see the dramatic changes.
Dr. Davis Nguyen will review your medical history, including any current medications and supplements. You will be asked about any past surgeries, pre-existing health conditions, and allergies. The type of anesthesia to be used will also be discussed during this time.
An individualized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific concerns. You will be able to ask any questions in Beverly Hills you may have regarding the facelift process.
The Facelift Procedure
First, anesthesia will be administered. Then, incisions will be made in less visible areas in order to camouflage post-surgical marks. Incision site and size depend on The tissue on the type of facelift you are getting—they can be in your hairline, under your chin, and/or around your ears.
Tissue will be lifted, removed, and/or redistributed until the desired outcome is achieved. The incisions will be closed with stitches.
The process can take several hours, especially if done in conjunction with other cosmetic rejuvenation surgeries.

What are Dr. Nguyen’s Patients Saying?
Our Philosophy
We feel that the approach to facial plastic surgery by both patient and doctor should be a conservative one, and the result should appear natural and balanced.
There are several core philosophical principles that drive our practice. We feel that the approach to facial plastic surgery by both patient and doctor should be a conservative one. We feel that results should appear natural and balanced so that a patient looks like the best version of his or herself, not a bizarre approximation of someone else. We believe that the best outcomes are achieved when a patient and surgeon share a common objective and when there is consensus regarding aesthetic taste. We encourage a holistic approach to anti-aging because true youthfulness requires a combination of attitude, physical well being, as well as appearance.
While facial plastic surgery is often pursued to restore a youthful appearance, its results are most effective when a patient is vigilant about preserving mind, body, and spirit alike. Last, and perhaps most importantly, we believe that each of our patient’s needs is unique and that their course of treatment should reflect that of uniqueness. We strive to give the utmost in personalized care and service. From your first phone call to our office through your final follow-up visit, you will be given the time and attention needed to help you realize your individual aesthetic goals.
