What Is A Facelift?
Expertly tailored to reveal a younger, firmer appearance, a facelift at Derrick Plastic Surgery could unveil a more radiant version of yourself. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chase Derrick provides a full range of facial cosmetic surgeries in Plano, TX. One of the most popular procedures he performs is a facelift, which targets specific facial regions to diminish sagging features and fine lines, unveiling a timeless elegance and a vibrant, younger allure. Dr. Derrick and his team will create a surgical plan to address your individual needs. Facelifts typically lift the deeper tissues of the cheeks and mid-face, and refine the lower face, including the jowls, mouth, and neck, ensuring a comprehensive renewal of youthfulness. This can also be combined with procedures to help smooth wrinkles around the eyes as well. The approach chosen for your facelift will depend on several factors, such as the outcome you envision, your skin's condition, the extent of skin laxity, your lifestyle, age, and other personal considerations. A complete face and neck lift will address significant skin laxity while a mid-facelift may be for those who prefer a more focused enhancement. Dr. Derrick is a skilled surgeon who has a complete understanding of the complexity and delicate anatomy of a facelift procedure. The goal is to produce results that are not only beautifully natural but also subtly captivating and exceptionally striking. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Derrick at his Plano, TX practice, and learn how a facelift can change your outlook and appearance.
What Is the Surgical Technique for A Facelift?
Dr. Derrick performs different types of facelifts, depending on your individual needs. Some facelifts rejuvenate the upper portion of the face while others focus on the lower two-thirds. Moreover, some methods are slightly more invasive than others. It is also common for some men and women to have an eyelid lift, brow lift, fat grafting to
restore volume or other procedures to enhance their results. Some of the more common facelift options include:
- Full facelift: Considered the gold standard, the full or "traditional" facelift most often places an incision near the hairline, extending down to the temples, stopping near the base of the ears. The deeper layer of facial muscles is gently pulled and securely tightened to produce a lifted look, which softens excessive lines and wrinkles. The traditional facelift is used for men and women who have signs of aggressive aging. During a full facelift, many methods may be used, including blepharoplasty to address the eyes.
- Mid-facelift: Incorporating a similar method to the mini lift, the mid-facelift (cheeks) focuses on the hollow and lax areas around the cheekbones, as well as the upper jaw. This lift works nicely for those who desire improvement in the middle to lower region of the face, which also includes the jowls.
- Lower facelift: This particular facelift corrects the neck region and chin, and in many cases, the jowls to attain a younger-looking neck.
- Mini facelift: During a mini facelift, a tiny incision is made near the ears to lift the skin, which enhances the mid to lower face. This technique creates subtle improvements that look beautiful and natural.

This has been an amazing experience from the staff to Dr.Derrick. I felt so comfortable and at ease in my consultation with Dr. Derrick and how thorough he was in explaining the process that I locked in my appointment the same day, I didn’t want to look any further. Before and after the procedure they are very attentive and check in almost daily. If I had to do it all over again definitely choosing Dr. Derrick!!!
Dr. Derrick, Katie, Maggie, and Lola🐶 have provided an outstanding experience throughout my entire journey. From the initial consultation to pre-op discussions, the surgery itself, and all follow-up appointments, everything has been exceptional. I underwent a lower face and neck lift with fat grafting, with very little pain and a remarkably smooth recovery. While full healing takes about six months, I’m already thrilled with the results just four weeks after the surgery. During the first two weeks post-surgery, Katie was in touch almost daily, checking in on my well-being and addressing any questions or concerns I had. Dr. D is truly an artist! I would definitely recommend Dr. D and his team for any cosmetic surgeries, procedures, or injectables. You will be more than satisfied!
