What Is a Lower Facelift?

A lower facelift is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging skin, deep folds, and volume loss in the lower third of the face, including the cheeks, jawline, and jowls. As we age, collagen and elastin levels decline, and facial tissues gradually descend, leading to a tired, heavy, or jowly appearance.

Patients in Battle Creek, Jackson, Kalamazoo, and surrounding Michigan communities choose a lower facelift to restore youthful contours while maintaining natural facial features. Unlike more aggressive procedures, a lower facelift provides refinement and definition, enhancing the jawline and cheeks without altering your unique appearance. Many patients combine this procedure with a neck lift, eyelid surgery, or facial fat transfer for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Dr. Sumita Saha, our board-certified plastic surgeon, brings years of expertise to each procedure, delivering natural-looking, long-lasting results with a patient-centered approach.

What to expect

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
Typical duration is 2–3 hours, depending on the complexity and any combined procedures.
Incisions are discreetly placed along the hairline and around the ears to lift and reposition underlying tissues while removing excess skin.
Common postoperative effects include swelling, bruising, and tightness, usually resolving within 1–2 weeks.
Most patients in Battle Creek and Jackson can return to social activities within 10–14 days.
Full results typically appear over several weeks, giving a rejuvenated jawline, lifted cheeks, and smoother facial contours.
