A lower facelift targets sagging skin, deep folds, and volume loss in the lower third of the face—specifically the cheeks, jawline, and jowls. As we age, collagen production declines and facial tissues descend, leading to a tired or heavy appearance.
A lower facelift repositions and tightens these tissues to restore youthful contours and definition without drastically altering natural features. Many patients in Battle Creek and Jackson choose this procedure to address signs of aging while maintaining a natural, refreshed look. It is often combined with other procedures, such as a neck lift or eyelid surgery, for comprehensive rejuvenation.
What to expect
Performed by our experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Sumita Saha, under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, the surgery typically lasts 2–3 hours. Incisions are placed discreetly along the hairline and around the ears, allowing the surgeon to lift and reposition underlying tissues and remove excess skin.
Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common for the first 1–2 weeks. Most patients return to social activities in about 10–14 days, with full recovery taking several weeks. Long-lasting results are typically visible once swelling resolves, giving patients a smoother jawline, lifted cheeks and a rejuvenated facial profile.
