Do I need a facelift DC?
A facelift may be a suitable option for those experiencing signs of aging in the face, such as sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of facial volume, as well as folds and fat deposits around the neck and jowly, slack jawline. According to MedlinePlus, factors like genetics, sun exposure, poor diet, smoking, and obesity accelerate these skin aging issues, making them more pronounced or starting them earlier in life. Our surgeons at Bruno|Brown offer a variety of facelift techniques to achieve your desired look, including deep-plane facelifts and mid-facelifts. Each type targets specific areas and concerns, ensuring a personalized approach to facial rejuvenation.

Mid facelift Washington DC explained
A mid facelift, also known as a cheek lift, is a specialized procedure that targets the middle third of the face. This includes the cheeks, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and jowls. It is particularly effective for addressing midface sagging, hollowing, and loss of volume that can contribute to an aged or tired appearance. By lifting and repositioning the tissue in the midface, including muscle, fat, and skin, this procedure restores facial contours and enhances facial harmony.
The mid facelift offers several benefits, such as restoring volume in the midface region and enhancing facial symmetry and balance. One of the key advantages of choosing this type of facelift is that it results in no visible scars. Incisions are typically made discreetly within the hairline and inside the mouth, minimizing visible scarring. During the surgery, the underlying tissues, including the fat pads and muscles, are lifted and repositioned to elevate the cheeks and restore volume to the midface area.
What is a Washington DC deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift is a sophisticated surgical technique designed to address more advanced signs of aging, particularly in the lower face, jawline, and neck areas. Unlike other types of facelifts, this procedure involves repositioning and lifting the deeper layers of facial tissues, which allows for a more natural and longer-lasting outcome. By restoring volume and contour to the face at a deeper level, a deep plane facelift effectively corrects sagging jowls and neck laxity, restores youthful volume, and improves jawline definition.
The procedure itself begins with incisions made along the hairline and around the ears to access the deeper facial tissues. The underlying fascia, a strong connective tissue layer is dissected free from the skin and underlying muscles and then repositioned to a more youthful position. This fascial layer is very strong and can withstand significant tension on the skin. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is also repositioned. The result is a rejuvenated appearance that looks both natural and enduring.
