Facelift, Neck Lift, and Aging Face Surgery

Aging changes the face in predictable ways: skin loosens, fat shifts, and deeper support structures weaken. Facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, and brow/forehead lift procedures can address these changes when non-surgical options are no longer enough. Dr. George Brennan offers a range of facelift and aging-face techniques with an emphasis on natural, long-lasting results rather than an over-tightened appearance.

Procedures in the Aging Face Category

Facelift and Neck Lift

Repositions deeper tissues, removes excess skin, and improves jawline and neck contour. Techniques may range from mini facelift to more comprehensive lifts depending on the degree of aging.

Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Reduces excess skin and fat that cause a tired, heavy look around the eyes.

Deep Plane Facelift

Lifts and repositions deeper facial tissues to restore natural-looking definition in the midface, jawline, and neck, with results designed to look refreshed, not “pulled.”

Brow / Forehead Lift

Elevates a heavy or low brow to open the eye area without creating an exaggerated, surprised appearance.

Fat Grafting / Volume Restoration

In selected cases, targeted fat transfer or volume restoration is used to restore youthful contours rather than simply tightening skin.

Procedures can be performed alone or combined when medically appropriate.

Recovery Overview

Recovery varies by procedure, but in general:

Bruising and swelling are most noticeable in the first 1–2 weeks

Many patients return to desk work in 10–14 days

Social downtime is often 2–3 weeks, depending on comfort level

Incisions are placed in natural creases or hair-bearing areas where possible, and typically fade over time

You receive written post-operative instructions, and follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing.
