What to Expect from Your Facelift

Facial aging involves more than skin laxity alone. Changes in deeper facial support structures contribute to heaviness through the jawline and neck over time.

Dr. Leo Urbinelli utilizes advanced Deep Plane and SMAS Facelift techniques to reposition deeper facial structures rather than simply tightening the skin. His approach is highly individualized based on facial anatomy, tissue quality, and each patient’s unique aging pattern.

What Recovery Looks Like

Most patients return to social activities within approximately 1 to 2 weeks, with results continuing to refine naturally over the following months.

Swelling gradually improves over time, and your results continue to refine as healing progresses.
