What Is a Facelift?
Facelifts are among the most popular facial plastic surgeries on the market, offering a way to lift, tighten, and contour features that have started to sag with age. While many people have the misconception that they might look "stretched" or overly "tight," the modern facelift techniques we use at Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat are designed to address the deeper tissues underneath the skin to improve sagging and jowling while preserving your natural features. From minimally invasive procedures to more extensive deep-plane facelifts, every surgery is shaped to each patient's needs and goals, giving you greater control over your treatment plan. Schedule your facelift consultation in Neptune, Holmdel, or Manahawkin, NJ to get started.
How Are Facelifts Performed?
The details of your facelift surgery will depend on how much your face has aged and what you hope to accomplish. During your consultation, we'll examine your cheeks, lower face, jawline, and surrounding areas to understand where the changes have occurred and which parts of the face we should focus on. From there, we'll discuss whether you would benefit from a more limited mini facelift approach or if you're a better candidate for a deep-plane facelift. We may also talk about other procedures to complement your facelift results.
Facelift surgery at Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat is often performed using general anesthesia, though we might suggest local anesthesia or conscious sedation for minimally invasive procedures. Once you're ready, your surgeon will make careful incisions near the hairline and/or ears. Through these incisions, they can lift and reposition tissues beneath the skin, restoring your features to a more youthful position while smoothing noticeable lines and wrinkles. A deep-plane facelift may also involve releasing specific ligaments under the face to achieve more dramatic results. Typically speaking, facelift surgery takes about 1 – 6 hours, with more extensive procedures requiring more time.
What Are the Benefits of a Facelift?
No matter how young and energetic you might feel, your features can tell a different story. Sagging skin, hollow cheeks, and lack of definition all have a way of making you look older than you are. If you're exploring anti-aging treatments near Neptune, Holmdel, or Manahawkin, NJ, facelift surgery at Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat provides a way to address these concerns, offering benefits that include:
- Restoring fuller, more youthful-looking cheek contours
- Reducing jowls along the lower face
- Creating a smoother, more defined jawline
- Tightening loose and sagging facial skin
- Softening deeper folds and visible signs of aging
- Giving your face a fresher, more rested appearance

Frequently Asked Questions about Facelifts
What’s the difference between a mini facelift and a deep plane facelift?
A mini facelift is a less extensive procedure generally used to address earlier changes in the lower face, such as mild jowling and loss of jawline definition. A deep-plane facelift works beneath the more superficial layers of the face, allowing deeper tissues in the cheeks and lower face to be lifted and repositioned together. Neither approach is automatically "better" — the right one depends on how your face has changed and what you want to achieve.
What’s the best age to consider a facelift?
Many people begin considering surgery in their 40s, 50s, or 60s, but faces do not all age at the same rate. If jowling, sagging, or loss of facial definition has become noticeable enough that you want to do something about it, our facial plastic surgeon at Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat can help you understand whether a facelift is appropriate or whether another option would better suit you.
How long can I expect my results to last after a facelift?
Facelift results can last for many years, but surgery can't stop the natural aging process. A good at-home skin care routine and healthy daily habits can help preserve your results for as long as possible.
Will my facelift look natural?
A facelift should leave you looking refreshed without dramatically altering your features. At Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat, we plan every procedure around each patient's natural facial proportions to create results that are noticeable without looking "overdone."
Can I combine my facelift with other procedures?
Absolutely. Depending on your needs, we can combine your facelift with other surgeries, including a neck lift, blepharoplasty, or brow lift, for a more comprehensive approach. Our team can help you decide on the best combination of treatments based on the results you want to achieve.
