At Wick Facial Plastics, facelift surgery is never about changing who you are—it’s about returning to who you’ve always been. With a deep respect for facial anatomy and an artistic eye for detail, Dr. Elizabeth Wick offers advanced facelift techniques that rejuvenate your appearance without sacrificing your natural expression.
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the deeper layers of the face to reverse visible signs of aging. Dr. Wick specializes in the deep-plane facelift technique, which releases and repositions deeper facial structures for results that are more natural, longer-lasting, and never pulled or overdone.
The procedure addresses:
- Sagging cheeks and jowls
- Deep nasolabial folds (laugh lines)
- Loose skin along the jawline and neck
- Loss of youthful facial volume
Facelifts are often combined with neck lift, fat grafting, eyelid surgery, or chin augmentation for full lower-face rejuvenation.

Facelift FAQs
How long does a facelift last?
On average, results last 10–15 years, depending on skin quality, lifestyle, and genetics. Many patients choose small maintenance procedures over time to age gracefully.
Will I look like myself?
Yes. Dr. Wick’s approach enhances your natural features—not erases them. Her deep-plane technique avoids the tight or “pulled” look often associated with older facelift methods.
Am I a candidate for a facelift?
Ideal candidates are men and women in their 40s–70s experiencing visible signs of facial aging and seeking long-lasting rejuvenation. During your consultation, we’ll explore whether surgical or non-surgical options are best suited for you.
Can I combine a facelift with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine their facelift with a neck lift, eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), lip lift, or fat grafting for comprehensive yet natural facial rejuvenation.
What is the cost of a facelift?
At Wick Facial Plastics, facelift procedures typically range from $18,000 to $35,000, depending on the surgical plan and any complementary procedures (e.g., neck lift, fat grafting, eyelid surgery). A personalized quote is provided during your consultation.
We offer financing options and concierge guidance to ensure the process feels seamless and supportive.
