What is a Facelift?
A facelift is one of the most well-known cosmetic surgeries and can address sagging or loose skin in nearly any part of the face. This technique is particularly effective at eliminating wrinkles and lines and is ideal for patients looking to redefine their jawline. Many patients find that a facelift makes them look years younger and can greatly improve facial contours.

What is a Mini Face Lift?
A mini facelift is similar to a traditional facelift, except it targets only the lower part of the face. This involves fewer incisions and generally has a shorter recovery time than a traditional facelift. Mini facelifts are ideal for patients looking to address aging in the lower face, specifically in the chin and jaw areas.
How is a Facelift Performed?
At Anh Vu, M.D., every facelift begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Anh Vu. During this consultation, Dr. Vu carefully plans out the surgery based upon the patient’s aesthetic goals. Facial surgery can create permanent, life-changing results, so he spends substantial time discussing the procedure with each patient to ensure they achieve the results they want. Dr. Vu is incredibly meticulous during surgery, making precise incisions at the temples, around the ears, or under the chin, depending on the patient’s specific aesthetic goals. The surgeon may then remove or tighten skin to create a younger, tighter appearance. All facelifts are performed under anesthesia so that patients remain comfortable throughout treatment.
What Can I Expect After My Facelift?
Facelift recovery largely depends on the extent of work that the patient had done. In general, patients can expect swelling and minor bruising or discomfort for several weeks after surgery. After these side effects fade, the final results from your facelift will be increasingly visible. Most patients take at least two weeks off of work before they feel comfortable returning. We recommend that patients get as much rest as possible after their procedure to give the body enough time to heal properly. Following your procedure, Dr. Vu will review instructions for specific post-surgery care and discuss the timing of any follow-up appointments.
How Long Do the Results from a Facelift Last?
When performed by an experienced, qualified surgeon like Dr. Anh Vu, facelift results can be permanent and look completely natural. However, a facelift does not prevent further aging, so patients may still develop wrinkles and sagging skin over time.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
If you want to look years younger or refine your facial contours, you may be a good candidate for a facelift. If you think you are a good candidate, call us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Anh Vu. During your consultation, Dr. Vu will review all possible treatments with you and help you choose the best option based on the results you hope to achieve. Facelifts are considered cosmetic treatments, so insurance does not cover them. However, we accept a variety of payment options and financing to make our services accessible to all of our patients.
The face is more susceptible to signs of aging than any other area of the body, so more patients pursue a facelift than any other procedure. Dr. Anh Vu offers facelifts and other age-defying procedures to the men and women living in St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and Daytona Beach.
