Facelift: The Definitive Guide Before You Decide
Are you considering a facelift but unsure which technique is best for you? Have you heard of the Deep Plane facelift but aren’t clear on how it differs from a classic facelift?
Do you want a natural result that doesn’t look “done” and allows you to return to your routine quickly?
I’ll explain everything
What should you know before facelift surgery?
If you’re thinking about a facelift, you know it’s not an easy decision.
It’s not just about choosing a technique or a surgeon.
You want to make the right choice.
And it’s crucial that you make it with all the necessary information.
This guide is born from my experience with over 500 surgeries, from which I’ve learned exactly what you need to know before making your decision.

The Decision Process: Answering Your Three Key Questions
Before we analyze techniques or surgical details, I want this guide to provide you with a clear answer to the three essential questions every patient must resolve:
- Is it really the right time for me?
- Have I found a surgeon who shares my vision for the result?
- Do I have all the information I need to decide with confidence?
We will address each of these questions in depth, as they are the true foundation for making a firm and secure decision.
Is it really the right time to consider a facelift?
It shouldn’t feel forced.
The decision comes naturally when the signs of aging stop being an occasional worry and become a constant that affects your daily life.
Many of my patients recognize a clear turning point.
Do any of these situations sound familiar?
- Your gaze is repeatedly drawn to the loss of definition in your jawline or the early looseness in your neck every time you pass a mirror.
- You start to avoid photographs from certain angles or find yourself worrying about finding the light and angle that best hide the lack of skin tightness.
- You feel a small but persistent disconnect: your face no longer reflects the energy and vitality you feel on the inside.
I’ve put together a list of the 5 key signs that indicate it’s time to consider a facelift.
Have you found a surgeon who shares your vision for the result?
This is, without a doubt, the most crucial question.
And we’re not talking about technique, but about sharing the same vision for the outcome.
Some patients seek a complete transformation, a brand new face (an exaggerated lift, rhinoplasty, cheek and chin implants… all at once) while others are content with a minimal, short-lived change (minilift).
I’m not comfortable with either extreme: if that’s what you’re looking for, I may not be the right surgeon for you.
My goal is very clear: to give you back your face. To restore the definition of your jaw and neck, while completely preserving your essence. The best result is one where you only notice that you look better, younger, more rested—without anyone being able to pinpoint why.
If that’s what you’re looking for, we will likely connect.
I invite you to see real cases and learn about my approach here.
Do you have the information you need to decide with confidence?
To make this decision with peace of mind, you need transparent, unfiltered information.
Here you will find exactly what you need to know.
