The common signs that you might need a facelift are excess skin in your lower jawline and the formation of deep lines on your face. If these signs of aging affect your self-esteem, it is most likely that you will benefit from a facelift. You can schedule a consultation with one of our expert plastic surgeons at GraceMed Mississauga and GraceMed Burlington to learn more if you are a candidate for a facelift procedure. Facelifts in Burlington and Mississauga are performed by Dr. Reza and Dr. McLean.

Everyone’s facelift healing process is unique, so it depends on the person and the specific procedure used, but most patients are able to resume regular activities within a few weeks. At this time, swelling visible to others will have subsided, though you may continue to feel a small amount of swelling for several more weeks as your body heals. Throughout your healing process, you will have regular appointments with your facelift Mississauga team at GraceMed to monitor and assist you during your healing process. 

A facelift procedure involves incisions along the contour of the ears and involves the anatomy of the ear to help conceal them. Additionally, incisions are mind in the hairline of the temple that turns to run behind the earlobe to end 2 cm out of site behind the ear.  

There are treatments such as injectables, laser therapy, and chemical peels that help minimize and delay the appearance of aging. However, the results associated with injections, laser treatments, and chemical peels simply aren’t as long-lasting in comparison to a surgical facelift in Mississauga. Many patients use nonsurgical alternatives to help delay the need for an actual facelift, but the effects don’t last forever. Oftentimes, we will pair a facelift with another treatment option (such as medical grade control depth peels) to maximize your outcomes. You can schedule a complimentary consultation with our non-surgical aesthetic department at GraceMed Mississauga or GraceMed Burlington to learn more about non-surgical treatment options or a complimentary facelift consultation with Dr. Reza in our Burlington clinic. 

The results of a facelift in Mississauga procedure typically last between 7 – 10 years.  This can vary from patient to patient.
