If youโ€™ve had a prior SMAS facelift years ago and youโ€™re starting to see the jawline soften again, the neck lose definition, or the midface descend, that doesnโ€™t mean the first surgery failed. It means time continued. A traditional SMAS lift can deliver beautiful improvement, but in many patients, the longevity is shorter because the deeper ligamentous structures were not fully released and repositioned.

When laxity returns, the issue is not the skin. Itโ€™s the deeper structural layer of the face. At that point, non-surgical treatments wonโ€™t fix it. Energy devices cannot lift descended tissue in a meaningful way. Fillers cannot lift the face either. They add volume. Used appropriately, they can soften hollowness, but trying to โ€œliftโ€ with filler only adds weight to an already descended structure.

Youโ€™re ready for a secondary facelift when you see true structural sagging and want a more durable correction. In those cases, a properly executed deep plane facelift addresses the deeper layer directly, releases retaining ligaments, and repositions the face as a unit. The result is not tighter skin, but restored architecture with improved longevity and a natural, balanced appearance.

Beth is 68 years young โ€” vibrant, thoughtful, and gracious enough to share her story. She told me something deeply personal: as her face aged, she began to feel invisible in social settings. Her energy hadnโ€™t changed. Her confidence hadnโ€™t disappeared. But the reflection in the mirror no longer matched the vitality she felt inside.

After a detailed consultation and careful surgical planning, I performed a Preservation Deep Plane Facelift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, and COโ‚‚ laser resurfacing. By working in the deep plane, we repositioned the descended facial structures โ€” not just tightened skin โ€” restoring natural cheek volume, refining her jawline, and softening her neck. The eyelid surgery refreshed her eyes without hollowing them, and the laser resurfacing improved skin texture and fine lines.

The entire procedure was performed under twilight sedation, avoiding general anesthesia, allowing for a smoother recovery in an appropriate candidate.

Today, Beth looks refreshed, confident, and entirely herself. No tension. No distortion. No visible signs of surgery. Just harmony restored.

An undetectable facelift is not about looking different. Itโ€™s about reclaiming presence. Beth no longer feels invisible โ€” and that transformation goes far beyond the surface.

What Gail talks about here is incredibly important. You can watch hundreds of transformations, see the progression from day 1 to week 1 to month 1, and still, itโ€™s a different story when itโ€™s happening to you.

As Gail mentions toward the end of the video, my team and I have put together quite the exceptional experience post-op recovery protocol because she and many of my patients can feel comfortable walking around in public just 3 weeks after surgery.

That being said, there is absolutely a mental component to the recovery process. If youโ€™re not prepared or do not have the proper resources, itโ€™s easy to fall into the โ€œomg what have I doneโ€ spiral.

Gail watched my videos, shes seen other patients one day post ops and the amazing results that came later. We also talk about what to expect post-op during the consultation and subsequent pre-op appointments. What Iโ€™m saying is that going into the procedure, she felt confident and prepared.

Preparation only gets you so far, and itโ€™s common for patients to start feeling anxious around the two-week mark. So common that you can find hundreds, if not thousands, of stories online of people recounting similar experiences.

The mental health aspect of the recovery process can be challenging, and I think a lot of that comes from the unknowns. Iโ€™ve performed thousands of these procedures, and even at a day 1 post-op appointment, I can see three months down the line, even through the swelling and redness.

None of my patients goes through it alone. Between the luxury aftercare facility, constant follow-ups, check-ins, and access to my personal number, if and when concerns ever arise, my team and I are right there to nip them in the bud.

As a facial plastic surgeon, one of the most important decisions I make for my patients happens during the consultation โ€” the choice of anesthesia.

For facial rejuvenation procedures, I have chosen to perform surgery under twilight sedation rather than general anesthesia for nearly twenty years. And both my patients and I absolutely love it.

Twilight sedation allows you to be deeply relaxed and comfortable, without the need for a breathing tube or full unconsciousness. You are peacefully asleep, feel nothing, and remember nothing, but your body avoids many of the physiologic stresses associated with general anesthesia.

Why does that matter?

Because it translates to smoother recovery, less nausea, less grogginess, reduced swelling, and often less post-operative discomfort. Patients wake up calmer, clearer, and more comfortable. In my experience, complication rates are lower, and healing tends to be more predictable.

Facial rejuvenation is about refinement and precision. I believe the anesthesia should reflect that same philosophy โ€” controlled, elegant, and thoughtful.

After two decades of performing face and neck lifts under twilight sedation, I remain confident this approach offers my patients a safer, gentler surgical experience with a beautifully smooth recovery.

My beautiful 62-year-old patient was a unique and challenging case. She had quite large submandibular glands (also known as salivary glands) and a lot of laxity in the neck area.

Linda has always been a happy and positive person, and even when she is in the best of moods, when she catches a glimpse of her reflection, it doesnโ€™t show the bright and enthusiastic person that she is.

To help her achieve her goals, I performed:
โœ… Preservation Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift
โœ… Facial Fat Grafting โ€“ Restores lost volume
โœ… COโ‚‚ Laser Resurfacing

This Preservation Deep Plane surgical technique offers a naturally refreshed and youthful appearance with long-lasting results.

Unlike traditional facelifts, this approach lifts both the deeper tissues and muscles, ensuring smoother, more defined contours while preserving facial expressions, leading to:

โœ” Natural-looking, long-lasting results
โœ” Repositions deep tissues for a youthful contour
โœ” Shorter recovery time than extended deep plane facelifts
โœ” Minimal swelling & bruising with proper care

I am extremely happy with her results, to the point that I used them in one of the publications I was fortunate enough to have published last year. Linda, if youโ€™re out there reading this, thank you for trusting your face in my hands!

Aging does not discriminate, and neither should confidence.

Jerome is 78 years young โ€” sharp, disciplined, and still skiing the slopes and training daily. His concern was not vanity. It was alignment. His energy and vitality no longer matched the laxity in his neck and lower face. The disconnect bothered him. So we addressed it strategically. For Jerome, I performed a preservation deep plane face and neck lift under twilight sedation โ€” no general anesthesia. This technique enables the vertical repositioning of deep facial structures while preserving key ligamentous attachments and vascular integrity. The goal is not to โ€œpull.โ€ It is to restore anatomical position. When the deep plane is respected, the jawline sharpens, the neck tightens, and the midface regains structure โ€” without distorting masculinity. Three months later, he looks refreshed, not operated on. His beard growth pattern remains natural. His sideburns are untouched. His facial contours are stronger, not softened. That distinction matters in male facial surgery. Over-resection, tension, or feminization is unacceptable.

Men deserve outcomes that honor structure, strength, and character.

Facial rejuvenation is about harmony between how you feel and how you present to the world. Jerome didnโ€™t want to look different. He wanted to look like himself โ€” just well-rested, confident, and ready for the next ski season.

I'm excited to share some information about today's unique case.

Today we have a 57 years young gentleman who is in great shape! When I say great shape, I'm actually underselling it quite a bit. I work out quite a bit, and he makes me look like a casual gym goer.

So, with someone as healthy and active as he is, what are his goals, and what made today's case unique? The goals that he came in with were two-fold. The first goal was to rejuvenate his face with a Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift, Lip-Lift, Brow Lift, and finally CO2 Laser Resurfacing, but that was not all.

His other goal was to address some of the loose skin that was sitting around his midsection and lower back. With someone like him, who is sitting between 10-20% body fat, there isn't much, if anything, that he can do naturally to address the remaining loose skin that he has. So in addition to the procedures I am performing, he also recieved Renuvion for skin tightening of the flanks and abdomen with feather liposuction to address the stubborn excess skin and laxity that he wasn't able to address with exercise alone.

It's not common that Dr. Tehrani and I work on the same case in a single day, but this gentleman was the perfect candidate for this case, and you can already tell that he is going to have some spectacular results.

If you have questions, my Patient Care Coordinators are available at 949-776-4101. Theyโ€™re happy to answer your questions, guide you through the process, or set you up with a consultation if you're ready.

โ€œAge is just a number, and mine is unlisted.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Give Gail a mic, and she would be a great stand-up comic, but she goes on and touches on something very relatable.

Age is always a discussion. When youโ€™re young, you want to be older. When youโ€™re in the middle years, you just want time to slow down, but youโ€™re never really defined by your age. At these milestones, age is just a measurement, a reminder of when you can expect your next round of birthday cards.

But at some point, in your 60s or 70s, and sometimes even in your 80s, age starts to become a more defining part of your identity. Instead of people seeing you, they see your age.

๐ŸŽ‰Gail just celebrated her 80th birthday (Help us wish her a happy birthday in the comments, please๐ŸŽ‚).

Every one of my staff was just as surprised as I was when she told us she was going to be turning 80. I mean, she would absolutely clean out all the prizes at one of those carnival โ€œGuess My Age Games.โ€

The point is, at 80, Gail is not ready to slow down. A phrase I love to use is that the โ€˜grandparentsโ€™ of today are not the same as the grandparents of my generation. Thanks to modern medicine and a ton of other reasons, weโ€™re living healthier and longer lives than ever before, and instead of spending our golden years in a rocking chair on the front porch, weโ€™re living life to the fullest, like Gail.

Iโ€™m grateful to Gail for allowing me to share her journey and trust me with this next chapter.

Many of my male patients who feel strong, active, and energetic on the inside, but when they look in the mirror, they see sagging along the jawline, heaviness in the neck, and tired eyes that do not reflect how they truly feel. Men age differently, and surgical planning must respect masculine anatomy. With a Preservation Deep Plane Facelift, I reposition the deeper facial structures rather than simply tightening skin. This allows me to restore a sharper jawline and smoother neck while preserving natural hairlines, sideburn position, and masculine contours. The goal is not to feminize or change identity, but to create a result that is refreshed and undetectable.

Jerry is 79 years young, athletic, and full of life. He wanted his appearance to match his energy. After his facial rejuvenation, he looks rested and confident without looking โ€œdone.โ€ He still looks like himself, just stronger and more vibrant. I am grateful to Jerry for allowing me to share his journey and results. His story is a reminder that aging well is not about vanity. It is about alignment between how you feel and how you look.

Surgery evolves just like technology. Think about the jump from an early smartphone to what we carry today. Same purpose, completely different experience. Facial rejuvenation has followed that same path. Years ago, traditional SMAS lifting relied on wider skin undermining and routine drain placement to control fluid collection. As our understanding of facial anatomy improved, my approach transitioned to the Preservation Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift. By preserving key tissue layers and minimizing skin separation, the surgery becomes biologically gentler on the face.

That change alone significantly reduces bleeding and swelling. The next step was adopting modern adjuncts such as ARTISS fibrin sealant. This allows the tissue layers to adhere smoothly at the end of surgery, eliminating dead space where fluid typically accumulates. Because of that, drains are no longer necessary in most cases.

For patients, the difference is meaningful. Less pressure, less irritation, easier sleep the first nights, and more controlled bruising. The recovery feels calmer rather than traumatic. The goal is not only a natural result but a better healing experience. Advances in technique should improve both how you look and how you recover.

Age alone does not decide when someone is ready for facial rejuvenation. Mindset, health, and expectations matter far more than the number on a birthday cake.

Gail is 79 years young and preparing to celebrate her 80th birthday. She had a SMAS facelift by me about ten years ago and recently came in hoping to look refreshed again. After evaluating her tissues and skin quality, I performed a secondary preservation deep plane face and neck lift to restore structure while respecting her natural features.

Revision surgery requires careful planning. The goal is not to erase character but to bring harmony back to the face by repositioning deeper layers rather than pulling the skin. As you can see, she looks rested, natural, and still unmistakably herself.

Iโ€™m grateful to Gail for allowing me to share her journey and trust me with this next chapter. Her results will carry her beautifully into her 80th birthday and beyond.

In my experience, it is usually about alignment. Patients come in feeling energetic, engaged, and active in their lives, yet the mirror reflects fatigue or heaviness that does not represent who they are anymore.

The goal is not to create a new face, but to restore harmony between internal vitality and external appearance.

With the Preservation Deep Plane Facelift, the deeper facial structures are repositioned while the skin and natural tissue relationships are respected. Because the lift occurs at the anatomical foundation rather than by tightening the surface, the results appear natural and undetectable. Friends and family notice that the person looks well rested or healthier, not surgically altered.

Most patients are not seeking attention. They want confidence in professional settings, comfort in social interactions, and photographs that match how they feel inside. When the face reflects the same energy they experience day to day, there is a quiet psychological benefit.

For that reason, motivation is rarely vanity. It is self-improvement. Thoughtful facial rejuvenation allows the outside image to keep pace with the personโ€™s ongoing life, rather than feeling left behind by time.
