Facelift
Aging is a natural part of life. However, the visible changes that come with it can be unwelcome and leave you unhappy with your appearance.
A facelift from the Chicago Hair Institute can address deep wrinkles, sagging skin, and other concerns to refresh your look and confidence.
Double board-certified plastic surgeon Sahar Nadimi provides refreshing, subtle-looking facelifts for patients in the Chicago, IL, area.
How Does a Facelift Work?
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is one of the most effective surgical procedures available to combat signs of aging. This plastic surgery can effectively address many age-related changes, including deep lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, and pronounced jowls.

Exploring Your Candidacy
There are some important considerations we want our patients to know about before pursuing this type of plastic surgery.
Age Range
Most patients seek out cosmetic treatment to combat the signs of aging between the ages of 40 and 60. However, this does not mean that older or younger patients do not qualify for treatment. Genetics, stress, and environmental factors all play a part in aging and make it a unique process for each patient.
Skin Elasticity
Facelift patients will ideally still have some skin elasticity. While you can enjoy results from this procedure with poor skin elasticity, the results may not last as long. Dr. Nadimi also offers soft tissue fillers and other injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic as alternative treatments.
Realistic Expectations
While a facelift can significantly reduce the signs of aging, it cannot affect your underlying bone structure or give you a brand-new appearance. Interested candidates are encouraged to explore our photo gallery for examples of successful, natural-looking cosmetic surgeries.
Looking to Reverse the Signs of Aging With a Facelift? You're Not Alone
Facelift surgery is one of the top five most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States. Plastic surgeons performed over 234,000 rhytidectomies for patients across the country in 2020.
*According to the 2020 American Society of Plastic Surgeons' Report
The Facelift Procedure What to Expect Step-by-Step
A typical facelift takes two to four hours.
The Facelift Recovery Process
Most patients take a week off of work following their facelift. You may experience some bruising and swelling, which should mostly subside within a week or so. Many patients are provided with compression garments after treatment to help reduce these effects. After a week, you will return to our clinic so Dr. Nadimi can remove your sutures. It is around this time that you will start to notice the refreshing results of your facelift surgery.
"Dr. Nadimi is one of the most precise physicians I have met..." Patients Are Impressed With Their Results
"She is very informative, professional, and motivated. She thoroughly elaborated on all the question I had. The office staff is also very kind, yet professional, which allowed me to feel very welcomed. Something I always appreciate! I highly recommend Dr. Sahar Nadimi for all of your cosmetic desires!"

The Limitations of a Facelift
Though a facelift can take years off your appearance, it only addresses signs of aging in the mid to lower regions of the face. Sagging skin around your brow, forehead, eyelids, and neck cannot be addressed with a facelift; however, combining your facelift with a neck lift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery can give you more comprehensive results.
Ask our plastic surgeon about combining treatments during your consultation. We can create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your concerns and enhances your appearance.
Making Your Procedure Affordable Ask Us About Financing
The cost of your facelift surgery depends on numerous factors. Combining your facelift with other procedures like a brow lift or eyelid surgery will also add to your overall costs. During your consultation, our plastic surgeon will review which procedures would best enhance your appearance. We'll also discuss all costs prior to your surgery.
To make paying for treatment more manageable, our Chicago practice accepts CareCredit® financing. This allows patients to make payments over several months rather than all at once. Ask our team today to see if you're qualified for financing.
