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.
- Lift and firm sagging skin in the cheeks, jawline, and neck
- Soften deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Define the jawline and reduce jowls
- Restore youthful balance and facial harmony
- Boost confidence while maintaining natural expression
- Board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial rejuvenation
- Uses modern, deep-plane and SMAS techniques for long-lasting, natural results
- Prioritizes scar placement and tissue preservation for a refined finish
- Personalized consultations and surgical plans tailored to your anatomy and goals
- Performed in a private, accredited surgical facility in Toronto

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
- 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

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.
A facelift is more than just cosmetic surgery — it’s a chance to feel confident and aligned with how vibrant you truly feel inside.
Dr. Reza Ahmadzadeh offers artistry, skill, and compassion — delivering results that are elegant, age-appropriate, and naturally you.
