At Andrew Smith MD FACS in Irvine facelifts are performed by Dr. Smith to enhance your appearance by lifting and tightening the deeper tissues of the face and neck while smoothing and re-draping the skin. Candidates for facelift surgery are women and men who have:
Dr. Smith often combines eyelid surgery, fat grafting, laser resurfacing, or brow lift with a facelift for Orange County patients who want a full-face rejuvenation.
During a facelift Irvine plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Smith will tighten the skin and the underlying muscles of the face and neck. The incisions are placed in the natural creases in front of the ear, hidden inside the hairline at the temple, and behind the ear ending in the hair of the scalp.
The skin is separated from the tissue underneath, and lax muscles and connective tissues are lifted and tightened as needed. In some cases, fat is removed from the chin and neck through liposuction. The skin is re-draped for a smooth, natural appearance and secured with small, dissolvable sutures.
Some variations of the facelift use a smaller scar depending on the areas addressed as well as the amount of correction needed. These techniques are known by various names including short-scar facelift and MACS-lift.
A facelift can easily knock off years from your face and help restore your youthful appearance – if done by an expert. The emphasis on trusting only an expert cannot be stressed enough, for the simple fact that your face is the first thing people notice about you. Even a small mistake can lead to results that look “plastic” and unnatural.

Dr. Smith performs facelift surgery at his onsite fully accredited surgery center using general anesthesia or intravenous sedation (twilight sleep). Medication is administered prior to the procedure for comfort and relaxation.
While you may notice some degree of visible improvements immediately after your facelift procedure, it can take up to 6 months for full results to emerge, and even longer for the scars to fully fade. However, most women and men who have Dr. Smith performed their facelift report that their results are worth the wait.
A facelift can take 3 to 5 hours, depending on the extent of the correction and whether or not other procedures are incorporated. Most facelifts are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning that a stay in the hospital is not needed.
You will experience swelling, bruising, and a tight feeling for the first several weeks, but patients report feeling comfortable going out socially in as few as 2 weeks.
