Facelift in Toronto (Rhytidectomy)

Turn Back Time — Gracefully and Naturally

 

As we age, skin loses elasticity, facial muscles weaken, and volume shifts — leading to sagging, deep lines, and a tired appearance. A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a transformative procedure that lifts and tightens the lower face and neck, restoring youthful contours and a refreshed, vibrant expression.

 

At Toronto Dermaplastic Surgery, Dr. Reza Ahmadzadeh takes a modern, natural approach to facelifting — creating subtle, elegant results that enhance your features without looking tight or overdone.

Types of Facelift Procedures

Dr. Ahmadzadeh customizes each facelift based on your age, skin quality, and degree of sagging:

 

  • Mini Facelift – A less invasive option for early signs of aging; ideal for the lower face
  • Full (SMAS) Facelift – Targets deep tissue layers for more dramatic rejuvenation
  • Neck Lift – Often combined to address neck bands, laxity, and double chin
  • May be paired with eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or brow lift for comprehensive results
What to Expect
  • Consultation: In-depth discussion of your goals, facial structure, and expectations
  • Surgery Duration: Typically 2 to 4 hours, under general anesthesia or IV sedation
  • Recovery Timeline:
  • Swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
  • Return to work in 10–14 days, depending on healing
  • Final refined results visible by 6–8 weeks
  • Scarring: Incisions are placed around the ears and hairline — discreet and fade well over time
Frequently Asked Questions

Will I still look like myself?

Yes — the goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not change your identity. You’ll look refreshed, not “pulled.”

 

How long does a facelift last?

Results typically last 10 to 15 years, depending on skin care, genetics, and lifestyle.

 

Am I too young for a facelift?

There’s no fixed age. If you’re seeing sagging in the jawline, jowls, or neck and want a long-term solution, a consultation can help determine the best approach.
