Facelift Surgery in Mt. Juliet, TN

A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure designed to smooth and firm the skin, providing a fresh, youthful appearance. At The Lett Center in Mt. Juliet, TN, our expert surgeons specialize in natural-looking facelift results.

What is a Facelift?

Facelift surgery involves tightening facial and neck skin, and sometimes removing excess fat deposits. It's often combined with other facial procedures to comprehensively rejuvenate your appearance. While facelifts can be performed at any age, most patients are in their 40s or older.

Is a Facelift Right for You?

As you age, especially in your 40s, 50s, and 60s, factors like sun damage, stress, and gravity cause skin to sag. Areas around the jawline are particularly prone to aging. If non-surgical treatments haven't provided the results you want, a facelift may be right for you.

Reasons to Consider a Facelift:

• Sagging skin, muscles, and fat in the face and neck
• Excess skin and fat on the neck
• Sagging jawline
• Deep creases around the nose, mouth, and chin

The Facelift Procedure

A typical facelift involves making small incisions along the hairline and around the ears. Tissue and fat are repositioned, skin is tightened, and excess skin is removed. The procedure may take several hours, depending on whether other cosmetic procedures are performed simultaneously.

Recovery After Facelift Surgery

Post-surgery, your face will be bandaged to minimize swelling. Patients should rest and limit movement to speed healing. Stitches are usually removed within a week. While complications are rare, following post-operative instructions carefully helps ensure optimal results.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For those not ready for surgery, The Lett Center offers non-surgical options like PDO threading, FaceTite, and other aesthetic treatments to address signs of aging. Schedule a consultation to determine the best treatment plan for your goals.
