A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a general term for any cosmetic surgical procedure used to create a more youthful-looking face by removing or repositioning skin, fat, and/or muscle. There are multiple types of facelift operations to choose from depending on the specific needs of the patient.
You may be a candidate for a facelift if you meet the following requirements:
The ultimate goal with any facelift is to restore a youthful appearance without leaving an operated look. Here at Dr. Asaria's office, we are known for some of the most exceptional, most natural looking results from a facelift Toronto has to offer. Aging may be a fact of life but the good news is that its unwelcome effects simply don’t have to be.
With age comes loss of volume and elasticity in the skin and underlying tissues. This phenomenon is perhaps most noticeable in the face, where it can result in deep folds, lines and shadows that dramatically change the way we look in the mirror. Jowls along the jaw-line and sagging of the neck and chin give one the appearance of premature aging, weight-gain and overall fatigue.
Early signs of aging can often be addressed with a “liquid facelift” using injectable fillers, but for more advanced signs of aging, where long long-lasting results are desired, a facelift is often the right choice. When performed by a skilled facial plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Asaria, a facelift can yield excellent, organic looking results for both men and women.
The average cost of a facelift ranges between $25,000 to $35,000.
* Options for surgical treatment of facial aging include our Toronto face lift (full facelift), as well as more targeted procedures such as brow-lift, mid-facelift, neck-lift and facial liposuction.
Facelift surgery procedures demand technical proficiency and an impeccable artistic sensibility on the part of the operating surgeon. Many plastic surgeons perform basic facial surgery procedures to address the exterior of the face, but when the inner workings of the face are not properly attended to the results are short-lived and unnatural.

There are some common misconceptions surrounding face lift procedures. Among them is the idea that a face lift is done by stretching the skin tight to remove lines and wrinkles. While it is unfortunately common to see people who have had such procedures, these are nothing more than the products of untrained plastic surgeons. This type of “skin-stretching” procedure uniformly yields results are unnatural and sometimes identity-changing.
When done properly, a facelift is actually a repositioning and tightening of the muscles beneath the skin. This is how Toronto Facelift Surgeon, Dr. Asaria approaches each and every facial surgery he performs. By lifting underlying facial muscles back into their original position, a youthful appearance is restored without distorting or stretching the outer skin. This leaves the patient looking younger, more refreshed and completely natural.
