Revitalize Your Appearance with a Facelift at Athēnix Pasadena

The face is often where aging shows first, with loose skin, jowls, and deep creases that can change how you look and feel. At Athēnix, we approach facelift surgery in Pasadena with artistry and precision, tailoring every procedure to the individual. Whether you are seeking subtle refinement or a more dramatic rejuvenation, our surgeons help restore confidence by enhancing your features in a natural, graceful way.

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses visible aging in the cheeks, jawline, and neck by tightening underlying tissues, redistributing fat, and removing excess skin.

Common areas improved include:

  • Sagging cheeks or midface droop
  • Jowls and loss of jawline contour
  • Deep nasolabial folds (from nose to mouth)
  • Marionette lines (from mouth to chin)
  • Loose neck skin or banding

Facelifts can also be combined with complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift, or fat transfer for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Who Is a Candidate for a Facelift?

You may be a strong candidate for a facelift in Pasadena, CA, if you:

  • Have moderate to advanced sagging in the mid-to-lower face
  • Notice jowls, folds, or neck laxity that affect your confidence
  • Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
  • Want refined, natural rejuvenation without looking “overdone”
  • Have realistic expectations about results and recovery

During your consultation at Athēnix Pasadena, your surgeon will assess your skin, anatomy, and goals to create a fully customized surgical plan.

What to Expect During Surgery

Facelift surgery is performed in our AAAHC-accredited Pasadena facility under general anesthesia or IV sedation, typically lasting 3–4 hours.

  • Incisions: Carefully placed along the hairline and around the ears for discreet healing.
  • Muscle and Tissue Lift: Underlying structures are tightened to restore youthful support.
  • Skin Redraping: Excess skin is trimmed and smoothed for a firmer, refreshed appearance.
  • Refinements: Fat may be repositioned or removed to improve definition and symmetry.

Recovery and Results

Recovery is generally straightforward:

  • First 1–2 weeks: Swelling, bruising, and tightness gradually improve.
  • Return to activities: Most patients resume light routines in 10–14 days.
  • Healing progress: Bruising fades in 2–3 weeks, with incision lines continuing to soften.
  • Final results: By 6–8 weeks, you’ll see a smoother, more defined profile and natural rejuvenation.
    With a healthy lifestyle, facelift results often last for many years.
