Face Lift in London Ontario
Yazdani Aesthetics offers facelift surgery in London, Ontario for patients who want to address visible signs of facial aging, including sagging in the mid-face, deeper facial folds, jowls, and loose skin around the lower face and neck. Also known as rhytidectomy, a facelift can help reposition underlying facial tissues, remove excess skin, and create a more refreshed facial contour.
Although some people refer to any kind of aesthetic facial surgery as a face lift, the word more appropriately applies to surgical rejuvenation procedures dealing with visible signs of aging in the cheeks, chin, and neck. Deep wrinkles below your lower eyelids, creases descending from the nose to the corners of your mouth, and sagging in the middle portion of your face are usually addressed with a facelift. A more targeted face lift procedure, known as a neck lift, will remove jowls or a double chin.

BOOK CONSULTATIONHow a Face Lift Works
A standard face lift employs an incision on either side of your head, beginning at the temples near your hairline. The incision extends downward along the front of your ear and then wraps around below the ear to end near the bottom of your scalp. This incision enables us to adjust the position of your muscles and the underlying tissues of your face, jowls, and neck. We then trim away any excess skin and close the incisions with sutures or skin adhesives. It will take you about two weeks to recover fully from a face lift procedure.
Conducting a face lift requires a high degree of surgical skill, and the negative effects of a bad one are highly visible. Having a qualified plastic surgeon perform your face lift is essential; a good one will restore a youthful look without making your skin appear stretched or pulled.
A face lift also offers a good opportunity to refine the shape of your facial structure by adding volume to your soft tissues. We can also improve the tone and texture of your skin using resurfacing techniques in conjunction with the face lift, and can further reduce wrinkles using injections or fat transfer. The breadth of our practice enables us to provide all these services in addition to the surgery.*

Face Lift FAQs
What does a facelift treat?
A facelift effectively treats structural signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face. This includes dropping cheek tissue, deep creases running from the nose to the mouth, sagging jowls along the jawline, and displaced facial fat pockets.
What is the difference between a facelift and a neck lift?
A facelift lifts and tightens the cheeks, jawline, and mid-face, while a neck lift concentrates entirely on the area below the jawline, correcting loose neck skin, banding, and excess fat tissue under the chin.
What is the difference between a facelift and dermal fillers?
A facelift is a permanent, surgical solution that physically lifts deep muscle layers, repositions displaced tissues, and removes excess hanging skin. Dermal fillers are non-surgical, temporary injections that mask aging by plumping up lines and restoring minor volume deficits from the surface level.
Where are facelift incisions placed?
A standard incision starts at the temples near the hairline, travels downward closely following the natural contours in front of the ear, wraps tightly beneath the earlobe, and finishes discreetly near the lower scalp area behind the ear.
How long does facelift surgery take?
A comprehensive facelift procedure typically takes between 4 to 8 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of your anatomy and whether it is being combined with other facial rejuvenations.
What type of anesthesia is used for a facelift?
For your absolute comfort, safety, and surgical precision, all facelift surgeries at our facility are performed under general anesthesia.
Is a facelift outpatient?
Yes. A facelift is performed as an outpatient surgery, allowing you to return home on the very same day as your procedure to recover in your own home environment.
How long is facelift recovery?
ost patients are ready to return to office work and light social settings with the help of camouflage makeup within 1 to 2 weeks. More demanding physical exertion and strenuous activity should be avoided for 2 to 3 weeks.
When will I see final facelift results?
While a visible improvement is immediate, it takes approximately 1 to 2 months for post-operative swelling and residual tissue firmness to completely resolve, revealing your final, natural facial contour.
How much does a facelift cost in London, Ontario?
The total financial investment for a facelift depends heavily on the specific technique utilized and whether it is combined with a neck lift or fat transferring. In Ontario, private cosmetic facelift surgery typically ranges from $11,000 to $17,000+. The Yazdani Aesthetics team provides a transparent, customized pricing outline during your detailed personal consultation.
