What Is A Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses age-related concerns in the face and neck. By gently lifting and repositioning the underlying facial tissues around the chin, jaw, and cheekbones, it restores patients' youthful contours for a more refreshed appearance.
This procedure can help improve:
- Loss of muscle tone and elasticity in the face or neck.
- Loss of definition or jowls along the jawline.
- Prominent creases around the mouth and nose.
- Wrinkles across the face and neck.
- A tired appearance.
Dr. Wolf's reputation as one of the best facelift surgeons in Miami is due to his dedication to subtle, natural-looking results. He implements advanced, modern techniques that go far beyond outdated methods of simply tightening the skin. This approach enhances your overall facial harmony, creating a younger appearance while still looking entirely like yourself.
Our Approach: Customized Facelift Techniques
Dr. Wolf performs different variations of the facelift procedure at Miami Plastic Surgery®, each customized to your specific concerns and aesthetic goals. Visit our Miami practice to find the best facelift procedure for your desired outcome.
Deep Plane Facelift
With this technique, Dr. Wolf lifts the skin and deep layers of facial tissues, known as the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), as one unit. This tightens the cheeks, jawline, and neck, delivering natural, long-lasting results. As the gold standard of facial procedures, it is ideal for those with more prominent signs of aging.
SMAS Facelift
Unlike a deep plane facelift, Dr. Wolf lifts the skin and SMAS layer separately. This technique is highly effective for treating sagging in the lower face and neck, such as jowls. As a result, it is best for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging, such as a loss of facial volume or excess skin along the jawline.
Mini Facelift
A mini facelift is a less invasive procedure involving smaller incisions and a shorter recovery. It focuses on lifting the lower areas of the face, including the neck, for a subtle refresh or as a preventive measure. Dr. Wolf typically recommends this surgery to younger patients with early aging signs.

What to Expect — From Consultation to Recovery
Here is a step-by-step overview of the process you'll share with Dr. Wolf and his team, so that you know exactly what to expect for your facelift journey:
1. Consultation
Your journey starts with a consultation. Dr. Wolf will review your medical history, perform a detailed assessment, and listen to your goals to develop a customized treatment plan. He'll also provide you with all the necessary information about the procedure.
2. Surgery
On the day of your surgery, you'll be placed in the care of a board-certified anesthesiologist. Dr. Wolf will perform the procedure under general anesthesia, so you are comfortable from start to finish. Depending on the techniques used, facelift surgery can take between three and six hours.
3. Aftercare
After your surgery, your face, head, and neck will be wrapped in soft bandages, which are usually removed the following day. Dr. Wolf will provide you with aftercare instructions to follow, and you'll be able to return home, so you'll need a friend or family member to drive you.
4. Recovery
Recovery takes around a month, with most healing taking place in the first two weeks. After two to four weeks, most patients return to their regular activities, including work and gentle exercise.
Expect some mild discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication. Swelling, bruising, tightness, and numbness are normal and will fade, gradually revealing your surgery results. After around two months, you should be enjoying your youthful look. With regular follow-up appointments throughout your recovery, Dr. Wolf offers continuous support and helps ensure a smooth healing process.
Facelift Cost in Miami
The cost of your facelift will be determined by your personalized treatment plan and influenced by factors such as Dr. Wolf's recommended techniques. You'll receive a clear fee that covers all aspects of your care, including the facility, anesthesia, and all follow-up visits.
To help make your aesthetic goals more accessible, Miami Plastic Surgery® partners with Cherry to provide flexible financing solutions. We can help you explore personalized payment plans suited to your budget.
The Importance of Choosing a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
Choosing a board-certified facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Wolf is vital for a beautiful and safe outcome. As a specialist, his expertise in facial anatomy is far more in-depth than that of cosmetic and general plastic surgeons. Additionally, his board certification is your assurance of the highest standards of care.
Dr. Wolf's meticulous approach and commitment to rigorous safety protocols help minimize potential surgical risks. In his expert hands, a facelift can be a safe, reliable procedure.
