Is Facelift Surgery Right for You?

Ideal candidates for a facelift are individuals experiencing moderate to severe facial aging who are in good overall health. During your consultation, Dr. Goldman will assess your needs and determine the best course of action to help you achieve your desired look.

Your Facelift Journey: What to Expect

Your facelift journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Dr. Goldman’s office. This important first step allows Dr. Goldman to understand your unique goals, assess your facial structure, and evaluate your overall health. During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns and desired outcomes in detail.


By the end of your consultation, you will have a clear understanding of the surgical options available to you, along with a customized plan that aligns with your aesthetic vision.

Patients must make some pre-op preparations. This prep starts two weeks before the procedure. Most pertain to facilitating recuperation. CIT® requires far less post-op recovery time than FUT or other hair transplant methods. Following pre-op instructions, though, helps ensure that recovery is fast and hassle-free.

Medical Evaluation: Completing a health assessment to ensure you’re a good candidate for surgery.

Lifestyle Adjustments: Avoiding smoking and certain medications that can interfere with healing.

Skin Preparation: Using recommended skincare products to optimize skin condition before surgery.

Logistical Planning: Arranging transportation and post-surgery care with a trusted companion, as you will not be able to drive immediately after the procedure.

Dr. Goldman and his team are dedicated to addressing your questions and ensuring you feel fully prepared for the journey ahead.

The Facelift Procedure

Facelift surgery is performed at an accredited surgical facility to ensure the highest safety standards. On the day of your procedure, you’ll check in and be guided through the pre-operative process.


The surgery itself involves strategically placed incisions, often around the hairline and ears, to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, Dr. Goldman:

  • Repositions and tightens facial muscles for improved contour
  • Removes excess skin and fat
  • Smooths and re-drapes the skin for a youthful appearance

The procedure is tailored to your unique anatomy, ensuring results that look natural and harmonious with your features.

Facelift Recovery After Surgery

Facelift recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of downtime. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common but subside over time. Most patients return to light activities within a few days and resume regular routines within two weeks. To maximize your results, follow these post-operative care tips:

  • Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling.
  • Avoid strenuous activities until cleared by Dr. Goldman.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a nutritious diet to support healing.

You will have a follow-up appointment to monitor your healing. Dr. Goldman and his team will guide you through every stage of recovery, ensuring you feel supported and confident in your results.

Final Results

While initial improvements are noticeable within a few weeks, full results typically develop over several months as swelling completely resolves. The outcome is a natural, youthful appearance that lasts for years.
