Common Concerns a Facelift Can Improve
Facelift surgery is often chosen by patients who want longer-lasting improvement than injectables or non-surgical tightening treatments can offer. At Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic, Dr. Jacob Veith focuses on lifting and refining deeper facial tissues, not just tightening the surface, to support a smoother, natural-looking result that still feels like you. Below are the areas that benefit most from a facelift:
- Sagging along the jawline (jowls): We help redefine the jawline by repositioning underlying tissue and reducing heaviness that can blur your natural facial contours.
- Deep facial creases around the mouth and nose: We help soften prominent folds by addressing mid-to-lower face sagging that can make these lines appear deeper over time.
- Loose skin in the lower face: We help create a firmer, more refreshed look by removing excess skin and improving lower-face definition without an over-pulled appearance.
- Facial heaviness or drooping cheeks: We help restore a more youthful cheek position by lifting supportive facial structures that can shift downward with aging.
- Skin laxity and banding in the neck (when paired with a neck lift): We help smooth and tighten the neck area by improving loose skin and visible banding, creating a cleaner transition from chin to neckline.
Rather than dramatically changing your appearance, facelift surgery at Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic is designed to help you look more rested and refreshed by improving the effects of time, genetics, and skin laxity.
Types of Facelift Procedures We Perform
Full facelift
A traditional or full facelift focuses on more advanced aging of the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. It typically provides the most comprehensive improvement and can be combined with other procedures for full facial rejuvenation.
Mini facelift
A mini facelift is often used for earlier signs of aging, especially mild to moderate jowling. Incisions are typically smaller, and recovery can be shorter compared to a full facelift, depending on the surgical plan.
Facelift with neck lift
Many patients benefit from addressing the neck at the same time as the lower face. Combining a facelift with a neck lift can create a smoother transition from jawline to neckline for a more cohesive result.
What to Expect During the Facelift Process
Consultation & Planning
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation. Dr. Veith will evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and areas of volume loss or laxity. Together, you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any previous cosmetic treatments. You’ll also review how incision placement, scarring, and recovery may look for your specific plan.
The Procedure
Our team performs the facelift surgery using carefully placed incisions, often around the ears and hairline, so scars can be discreet. Dr. Veith works to reposition underlying facial tissues and remove excess skin to create smoother contours without an overly tight appearance.
Recovery & Aftercare
Initial healing typically includes swelling, bruising, and a period of reduced activity. Most patients return to many daily routines within a couple of weeks, though full healing takes longer. Your aftercare plan will include detailed instructions and scheduled follow-ups at Thibodaux Regional Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Clinic to monitor progress as you heal.
Procedures Commonly Combined With a Facelift
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Upper or lower blepharoplasty can help reduce heaviness, puffiness, or under-eye fullness that may distract from facelift results.
Dr. Veith creates a cohesive, rested appearance by addressing the eyes and lower face simultaneously. By integrating this procedure, we ensure your eyes look as bright and vibrant as your newly defined jawline, preventing a "mismatched" aging appearance.
Fat Transfer or Dermal Fillers
Restoring lost volume in the cheeks or mid-face can create a softer, more youthful facial shape. While a facelift addresses sagging skin, it doesn’t replace lost volume. Dr. Veith utilizes an artistic eye to strategically replenish volume where you need it most. Whether using your body’s own fat or premium fillers, we ensure you look "tighter," healthier, and more radiant.
Brow Lift
If the upper face shows significant drooping or heaviness, a brow lift may help open and brighten the eye area. To ensure total facial harmony, Dr. Veith assesses the position of the brow relative to the rest of the face. If recommended, this procedure is performed with precision to open up your expression naturally, avoiding the "surprised" look, so that your upper face matches the youthful contour of your lower face.
Dr. Veith’s Approach to Combination Treatments
Dr. Veith will explain which combinations make sense for your goals and anatomy, without adding unnecessary procedures.
We believe in a conservative, patient-first philosophy. During your consultation, Dr. Veith acts as your partner, designing a surgical plan that is comprehensive yet efficient. We only recommend complementary procedures if they will significantly enhance your specific outcome, ensuring you get the most natural result with a single recovery period.
