What is a Facelift? 

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face by removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, and repositioning skin on the face and neck. At Cultura Dermatology and Plastic Surgery in Washington, DC, you can trust in the expertise of Dr. Kelly Bolden, MD, FACS, who specializes in facelift procedures that restore a more youthful and natural appearance, addressing signs of aging and improving overall facial aesthetics. 

Advantages of a Facelift

A well-performed facelift offers more than just cosmetic improvement – it can renew your confidence and restore harmony to your appearance. At Cultura, patients choose facelift procedures for their ability to deliver meaningful, lasting results with a natural look that reflects their best self.

Reduces Visible Signs of Aging
A facelift diminishes deep wrinkles, tightens loose skin, and corrects sagging, helping patients look as vibrant and youthful as they feel.

Enhances Facial Contours
By restoring a firmer jawline and smoother neckline, facelift surgery enhances definition and improves the balance of facial features.

Long-Lasting Results
Unlike non-surgical treatments that require frequent maintenance, facelift results are more enduring, offering years of rejuvenation with proper skincare and healthy lifestyle habits.

Boosts Confidence
Many patients experience a noticeable increase in self-esteem after their facelift, feeling more aligned with how they present themselves personally and professionally.

With board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kelly M. Bolden, MD, FACS, leading your care, you can expect a personalized treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Explore whether facelift surgery is right for you by scheduling a consultation at Cultura today.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Ideal candidates for a facelift include men and women experiencing facial aging but still retaining some skin elasticity. Good health, non-smoking, and realistic expectations about the results are crucial for anyone considering this surgery. 

Facelift Procedure

Facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with incisions carefully placed along the hairline and natural contours around the ears to ensure discreet healing. Dr. Kelly Bolden takes a meticulous approach to repositioning the skin and underlying tissues, focusing on natural-looking results and minimal visible scarring.

Facelift Alternatives and Combination Procedures

For those not ready for a full facelift or seeking to enhance their results, Dr. Bolden also offers: 

• Neck Lift: Addresses aging around the neck and jawline. 
• Brow Lift: Lifts the brow and reduces forehead wrinkles. 
• Eyelid Lift: Corrects drooping eyelids and removes under-eye bags. 
• Botox: Temporarily reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
