Face
Facelift
A refined, individualized approach to facelift, designed to enhance your natural features with results that look and feel like you.
Overview
What is Facelift?
A facelift lifts and repositions the deeper tissues of the face and neck while removing excess skin, addressing jowls, deep folds, and sagging along the jawline. Dr. Leppard’s technique focuses on a natural, unpulled result that ages gracefully.
Dr. Leppard’s approach prioritizes results that are refined, balanced, and true to each patient’s natural features. During your consultation he takes the time to understand what you want to achieve, then explains every option, tradeoff, and realistic outcome so you can make an informed decision.
To learn whether facelift is right for you, the best next step is a personal consultation.

FAQ
Facelift frequently asked questions
How long does facelift recovery take?
Most patients feel comfortable in public after about 2 weeks and return to work in 2 to 3 weeks. Swelling continues to settle for several months, with final results at about 6 to 12 months.
How long do facelift results last?
Facelift results are long lasting, often 10 years or more. You will continue to age, but you will look younger than you would have without surgery.
Will I look like I had work done?
Dr. Leppard’s goal is a natural, refreshed result that looks like you, not a pulled or windswept look.
Can a facelift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Facelifts are often combined with a neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, or fat grafting for a balanced result.
