Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
Overview
A facelift addresses visible signs of aging in the lower face and neck by lifting sagging skin, tightening underlying muscles, and removing excess fat. At Kapital Surgery Center in Miami, we perform advanced facelift techniques that provide a naturally rejuvenated appearance—not a stretched or artificial look.
How It Works
Through discreet incisions around the ears and hairline, the surgeon repositions the deeper facial structures (SMAS layer) and removes excess skin. A neck lift is often included to define the jawline and smooth the neck.
Ideal Candidates
- Visible jowls, sagging cheeks, and loose neck skin
- Moderate to advanced signs of aging
- Non-smokers with good skin elasticity
- Emotionally and physically healthy.

Recovery
Expect swelling and bruising for 2–3 weeks. Most patients feel comfortable going out in public after 10–14 days and return to work within 2 weeks. Full healing continues for several months.
