WHAT IS A FACELIFT?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging by addressing sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of facial volume. By tightening underlying muscles, repositioning tissue, and removing excess skin, a facelift restores a smoother, more youthful contour to the face and jawline.
This highly customizable procedure focuses on rejuvenating key areas of the face, including:
- The midface and cheeks
- The jawline and jowls
- The neck and chin area
Dr. Sinha’s approach to facelifts emphasizes natural-looking results, avoiding the “pulled” or artificial appearance often associated with the procedure. With over 30 years of experience, he combines surgical precision with an artistic touch to create results that reflect a refreshed version of yourself.
Whether you’re seeking to reverse the effects of aging or enhance your facial harmony, a facelift can help restore confidence and vitality, helping you look as young as you feel.

Am I Candidate For Facelift?
A facelift is an excellent option for men and women seeking a dramatic transformation to restore their youthful appearance. Ideal candidates for a facelift typically meet the following criteria:
Good Overall Health:
Candidates should be in good health without serious medical conditions that could impact healing or recovery.
Non-Smoker:
Smoking can interfere with the healing process and overall surgical outcomes, so it's best to avoid smoking before and after surgery.
Significant Skin Sagging:
Noticeable sagging in the face and neck, including loose skin or deep wrinkles, makes you a strong candidate for a facelift.
Loss of Facial Volume:
Sunken cheeks or hollow areas in the face caused by aging or weight loss can be effectively addressed with a facelift.
Presence of Jowls or a Double Chin:
A facelift can lift and tighten sagging jowls and improve the contour of the chin and neck.

What Are the Different Types of Facelifts That Dr. Sinha Performs?
Dr. Sinha offers a variety of facelift techniques, each tailored to address specific areas of concern and meet the unique needs of his patients. Whether you’re looking for subtle improvements or a comprehensive rejuvenation, Dr. Sinha’s expertise ensures natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Mini-Facelift
Ideal for individuals with mild sagging or early signs of aging, the mini-facelift targets the midface, jawline, and neck. This less invasive procedure uses short-scar techniques to reposition underlying facial tissues, improving contour and reducing signs of aging. Incisions are discreetly placed at the temples and along the hairline to minimize visible scarring.
A mini-facelift is a popular choice for patients in their 40s and 50s who want to address subtle changes and slow the aging process in the lower face.
- Procedure Time: Approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Recovery Time: 1 to 3 weeks.
- Lasting Results: Results last 8 to 12 years, depending on skin elasticity.
Mid-Facelift
The mid-facelift is designed to rejuvenate the cheeks and nasolabial folds, restoring volume and lifting sagging tissue in the midface. This procedure is ideal for patients with flattened or drooping cheeks and prominent folds around the nose and mouth.
Using advanced techniques, including endoscopic tools, Dr. Sinha elevates and tightens the midface tissues to enhance definition and create a more youthful appearance. The minimally invasive approach reduces scarring and shortens recovery time.
- Procedure Time: Approximately 2 to 3 hours.
- Recovery Time: 1 to 3 weeks.
- Lasting Results: Results can last up to 10 years.
Full Facelift
For patients seeking a comprehensive solution to aging, the full facelift addresses multiple areas, including the forehead, midface, jawline, and neck. This procedure involves fat redistribution, muscle repositioning, and removal of excess skin to provide the most dramatic and long-lasting results.
Dr. Sinha employs advanced techniques, such as the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) lift, which tightens the deeper layers of tissue for a smooth and rejuvenated appearance. Incisions are discreetly placed along the ear contour, hairline, and, if necessary, under the chin to address neck concerns.
- Procedure Time: 2 to 4 hours.
- Recovery Time: 1 to 2 weeks for most public activities, with swelling subsiding in a few months and scars fading over six months.
- Lasting Results: A facelift can help you maintain a more youthful appearance—often looking 8 to 12 years younger than you would have without the procedure. While aging continues naturally, the rejuvenating effects are long-lasting.
Deep Plane Facelift
The deep plane facelift is one of the most advanced and effective techniques available today. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily focus on skin tightening, this approach lifts and repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue, including muscles and fat pads. This results in a more natural and longer-lasting rejuvenation, with improvements to the midface, jawline, and neck.
Dr. Sinha’s expertise in deep plane facelifts ensures subtle, natural-looking outcomes that avoid the overly “tight” appearance. This technique is particularly effective for patients with significant sagging or those seeking a profound transformation.
- Procedure Time: 3 to 5 hours.
- Recovery Time: 2 to 3 weeks, with swelling and bruising continuing to improve over several months.
- Lasting Results: The deep plane facelift provides results that can last 10 to 15 years, offering a more youthful and refreshed look for years to come.
Dr. Sinha’s personalized approach and technical expertise ensure that whichever facelift procedure you choose, the results will be harmonious, natural, and tailored to your unique aesthetic goals.
