San Diego Face Lift FAQ
How is the S-Lift different from other San Diego face lift procedures?
The S-Lift uses an "S" shaped incision in front of the ears to lift skin and gently reposition it for a more youthful facial profile. A special anesthetic solution helps the skin separate from underlying tissue to make the repositioning easier. S-Liftresults are said to be more natural and patients enjoy a quicker recovery and fewer complication risks.
What are the advantages of the endoscopic facelift?
Compared to traditional face lift methods, endoscopic surgery offers patients the benefits of minimal scarring, quicker recovery time, no hair loss, and no visible incisions.
What can I expect during endoscopic facelift recovery?
After an endoscopic full facelift, patients can expect some bruising and swelling but not as much as with a traditional facelift. For our patients in San Diego, endoscopic facelift offers a quicker recovery due to the smaller incisions and reduced bleeding. Most patients are back to work within a week or so, depending on your doctor's recommendation.

What happens during a midface lift procedure?
Your facelift surgeon will make tiny incisions along the hairline and possibly inside the mouth. The cheek pads will be repositioned to a higher, more youthful-looking placement. Any wrinkling or creasing around the mouth or nasolabial folds will be smoothed in the process. An endoscopic midface lift is done as an outpatient procedure and takes 1 – 2 hours.
How can I enhance my midface lift results?
Many patients choose to have eyelid surgery, facial implants, or a San Diego brow liftfor dramatic facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures saves recovery time and is often more affordable.
