Facelift in Irvine & Ladera Ranch
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a time-tested surgical procedure that lifts and firms sagging facial tissues to restore smoother cheeks, a defined jawline, and a youthful profile. Ideal for women and men who feel their outward appearance no longer reflects their energy, a facelift can address lax skin, jowls, and deep folds in one comprehensive treatment. By repositioning underlying structures rather than simply tightening skin, our surgeons create natural, long-lasting improvements that help you look like a refreshed version of yourself. Patients often report renewed self-confidence in both social and professional settings after recovery.

What is Facelift?
A facelift, formally known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that lifts and repositions the deeper tissues of the mid and lower face while removing excess skin. By addressing the structural layers—not just the surface—the operation restores youthful contours to the cheeks, smooths nasolabial folds, and tightens lax skin along the jawline and neck. Incisions are artfully placed around the ears and within the hairline so resulting scars are discreet. The outcome is a refreshed, natural look rather than an over-pulled appearance.

If you're considering a facelift, South Coast Plastic Surgery is here to guide you through every step. Dr. Kyle Song and Dr. Paige Benyamein will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan that addresses your concerns and helps you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Comprehensive Rejuvenation
A facelift treats sagging skin, muscle laxity, and displaced fat in a single procedure, creating harmony from the midface to the jawline.
Natural-Looking Outcomes
By elevating underlying tissues instead of simply tightening skin, our surgeons avoid the "wind-swept" look and maintain authentic facial expressions.
Minimal, Well-Concealed Scarring
Curved incisions follow the natural contours around the ears and hairline, making scars difficult to detect once healed.
Narcotic-Free Recovery Approach
Proactive pain management with medications like Celebrex and Gabapentin helps most patients control discomfort with over-the-counter options only.
Shorter Surgical Time & Swift Return Home
Our refined technique typically takes 2-3 hours, allowing you to return home about an hour after surgery without drains or catheters.
