Rhytidectomy, commonly referred to as a facelift, is a procedure that subtly transforms your appearance by lifting and tightening sagging skin, muscles, and fat to rejuvenate facial contours. At Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery, Drs. Ron and Alex Caniglia, along with our expert team, combine advanced techniques with personalized care to deliver stunning, lasting, and natural-looking results at our premier Scottsdale location. We focus solely on facial plastic procedures, and both doctors have completed one of the top facial plastic surgery fellowships in the U.S. Our global appeal is reflected in our commitment to excellence, which draws patients from around the world seeking the highest standards of facial plastic surgery.
Traditional facelift surgery has stood the test of time for its safety and effectiveness. At Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery, we recommend only those procedures that best suit the patient’s needs, avoiding trendy but less effective treatments. A facelift repositions sagging muscles, recontours underlying fatty tissues, and removes excess skin from the cheeks and neck to rejuvenate your appearance. Our facelift procedure includes techniques that minimize recovery time, thanks to Tisseel fibrin sealant, which eliminates the need for surgical site drains.
Alex may want to write a section on Deep Plane Facelift! Most facelifts are performed outpatient and take two hours or less. The procedure can be combined with other enhancements, such as eyelid surgery, a forehead lift, or laser resurfacing.
Facelifts are performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation, known as deep twilight sleep. A board-certified anesthesiologist monitors you throughout the surgery.
Incisions begin above the ear, hidden in the hairline, following its natural curvature, and are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
The skin of the cheek and neck is elevated, and the underlying muscle layer (Deep Plane) is repositioned and tightened, allowing for a natural-looking and long-lasting result.
Before closing the incisions, a natural fibrin sealant called Tisseel is applied, eliminating the need for drains or compression garments.
A light gauze dressing is applied, and you can return home approximately one hour after the procedure.

Facelifts are not covered by insurance since they’re elective cosmetic procedures. Financing options may be available to help you plan your treatment.
