Reduce Signs of Aging 

While non-surgical treatment options like dermal fillers or injectables can only correct mild signs of aging, plastic surgery allows you to address sagging skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, and other substantial concerns in one procedure.

Improve Facial Definition

A facelift is the only method that can be used to tighten your support fascia, restoring definition in your cheekbones and jawline. Dr. Sutton Graham is a plastic surgeon who can address the mid-face, lower cheeks, naso-facial grooves, and jawline with sophisticated facelift techniques.

When performing a facelift, or rhytidectomy, Dr. Graham can address areas like the chin, cheeks, and jawline. This surgery allows him to treat signs of aging, including wrinkles and sagging, to create a contoured and more youthful look.

Greenville Facelift Patients Can Choose From Several Options

Dr. Sutton Graham has an excellent reputation for achieving beautiful, natural-looking results with facelift surgery. A variety of techniques are available, and the procedure can be adapted to suit each individual patient’s desires and problem areas. Most facelift procedures are performed under general anesthesia. Curious about a facelift in Greenville? We'll walk you through the options.

Standard Facelift

What Can It Treat?

The standard facelift can address many concerns: sagging cheeks, deep grooves from the nose to the sides of the chin, lack of definition in the jawline, jowls, loose neck skin, bands under the chin, and double chin.

The Treatment Process

Incisions are placed around the ears, within the hairline, and under the chin to result in virtually unnoticeable scarring. Deep layers are supported. Loose skin is lifted and tightened, and excess fat is removed. Healthy fullness is emphasized, and an overly tight look is avoided. The upper and lower cheek, naso-facial area, jawline, and neck are all improved.

Short-Scar Facelift

What Can It Treat?

A less extensive procedure is the short-scar facelift. It is designed to address the mid-face, lower cheek, naso-facial groove, jowls, and jawline. There is less tightening of the neck or area under the chin (although liposuction may also be performed to remove fat under the chin).

The Treatment Process

Short-scar facelift surgery may be less extensive than traditional facelifts, but it still delivers excellent results. The MACS lift, limited facelift, mini-lift, minimally invasive lift, Life-style lift, and S-Lift are all versions of this procedure. The incisions are typically made in front of the ear and hidden around the sideburns and hairline. The surgery offers many benefits: it is performed in less time, is less expensive than a standard facelift, requires fewer incisions and sutures, and the recovery period is shorter.

Neck Lift

What Can It Treat?

For more substantial plastic surgery results, our doctor can combine a facelift with a neck lift. The neck lift contours the jawline, around and beneath the chin, as well as the front and sides of the neck. It can improve jowls, loose skin, loose muscles, and bands on the neck. 

The Treatment Process

The neck lift includes several elements, including platysmaplasty, the tightening of underlying muscle and support layers; submental lipectomy, the removal of fat in the same area (by trimming or liposuction); and the removal of loose skin. Typically, the incisions are made behind the ears, and there is often a small incision beneath the chin.

Combining Treatments

Do you have multiple concerns? Dr. Graham can combine several different procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Because of his techniques, he can make you look more youthful — and not like you've just undergone plastic surgery.

What Does It Involve?

This procedure is a standard facelift combined with a brow lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, and supplemental procedures such as laser skin resurfacing and fat graft augmentation of the lips, cheeks, and other contours. When coordinated by Dr. Graham, these can provide dramatic improvements in your appearance.

Recovery: What to Expect During Healing

We'll be with you through every step of your consultation, surgery, and recovery.
We'll be with you through every step of your consultation, surgery, and recovery.

Moderate Discomfort

Patients typically describe any discomfort they experience as being less than they expected. Medications are given to relieve post-operative pain.

Keep Your Head Elevated

You will need to recline, with your head elevated, following the procedure. This can reduce swelling and encourage healing.

Caring for Incisions

Closely follow our aftercare instructions to reduce the risk of incision complications. This includes avoiding sun exposure. Sutures are usually removed within two weeks of surgery.

Light Activity

It is important to walk soon after the procedure and continue light walking often to reduce the risk of complications. Avoid strenuous activity until you are cleared by Dr. Graham.

Return to Daily Life

You will typically be able to resume nonstrenuous work in about two weeks. However, strenuous exercise should be avoided for four to six weeks. Dr. Graham will meet with you for several office follow-up visits to advise you along the way.

Facelift FAQ

Questions are completely natural throughout the facelift process. To give you confidence in your options — and your choice of Greenville plastic surgeon — we're always here to clear up any concerns, including these common questions:

Will people know that I had a facelift?

While close friends or family members will likely notice a difference in your appearance, it won't be obvious you've had a facelift as long as you choose the right plastic surgeon. Using targeted techniques, Dr. Graham aims to help his rhytidectomy patients look like more youthful and refreshed versions of themselves.

How old do you have to be to get a facelift?

Most patients start to consider a facelift in their 40s or 50s. Rest assured, Dr. Sutton will not recommend surgery if he thinks options like fillers or BOTOX® are better suited to your goals.

How long do the effects of a facelift last?

Though the answer varies from patient to patient, a rhytidectomy can keep your skin looking smooth and refreshed for a decade or more. You can also do your part to prolong your results by staying out of the sun, taking care of your skin, and refraining from tobacco use.

Can a facelift transform puffy eyes or wrinkled brows?

With a rhytidectomy, our surgeon can only refine areas beneath your eyes. However, he can perform additional procedures like a brow lift or eyelid surgery to target all your concerns. Of course, for your safety and the best results, he will only suggest these treatments if you are a good candidate.
