As we age, gravity, sun exposure, and time take a visible toll—especially on the face and neck. Deep lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds), sagging jawlines, and loose skin under the chin are common signs of aging that many patients want to reverse. At our plastic surgery practice serving Fayetteville and Rogers, Arkansas, facelift surgery (also known as rhytidectomy) offers a proven solution to refresh your appearance and restore confidence.
What Can a Facelift Do?
A facelift targets the mid-to-lower face and neck, offering a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. It’s one of the most effective procedures for:
While a facelift significantly reduces these signs of aging, it doesn’t address the brow, eyelids, or nose. Patients in Northwest Arkansas often choose to combine a facelift with a brow lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), facial fillers, or laser resurfacing for full facial rejuvenation.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
Ideal candidates for a facelift in Fayetteville or Rogers include individuals who:
If you’re noticing sagging skin or volume loss but still have skin flexibility, you may be an excellent candidate for a facelift. During your consultation, we’ll help determine whether this procedure—or a combination approach—is right for your goals.
How Is a Facelift Performed?
Facelift surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, either in our accredited surgical facility near Fayetteville and Rogers, AR or at a nearby hospital. You’ll be given either IV sedation or general anesthesia.

In both cases, we tighten the underlying muscles, remove excess fat, and trim sagging skin. Incisions are carefully placed within the hairline and natural facial contours to keep scars discreet.
What to Expect After Your Facelift
After surgery, bandages and sometimes drainage tubes will be in place temporarily. We remove these during your first follow-up visit, typically the next day. You may experience:
Most patients in the Fayetteville and Rogers area return to normal daily activities within 2–3 weeks. Full healing, including reduced swelling and scar fading, occurs gradually over several months.
How Long Do Facelift Results Last?
While a facelift doesn’t stop the aging process, it turns back the clock—often by 7 to 10 years. Many patients continue to enjoy long-lasting results, and some may choose to undergo a second procedure 7–10 years later.
Think of a facelift as a long-term investment in your appearance: even years down the road, you’ll still look younger than if you hadn’t had the procedure.
Are There Risks with Facelift Surgery?
As with any surgery, there are risks. Possible complications include:
