As we age, the natural elasticity of our skin diminishes, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and the loss of volume on the face. These signs of aging can make you feel like you’re looking older than you actually are, affecting both your appearance and your confidence. A facelift (also known as rhytidectomy) remains one of the most effective procedures to restore youthful contour to your face and reverse the visible signs of aging.
If you’re considering a facelift, schedule a consultation with Dr. Babak Moein of Moein Surgical Arts to discuss your goals, your candidacy for surgery, and the personalized approach Dr. Moein uses to ensure stunning, natural results.

Ideal candidates for a facelift are men and women who are concerned about the visible signs of aging and want to regain a youthful, refreshed look. Common areas addressed by facelift surgery include:
There’s no specific age for a facelift, as aging affects each person differently. The decision to undergo facelift surgery is based on your specific appearance, needs, and goals. Dr. Moein may recommend combining your facelift with other procedures, such as fat transfers, dermal injections, or skin resurfacing, to achieve the best possible outcome.
To be an ideal candidate, patients should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for their results.
Facelift surgery has evolved over the years, and Dr. Moein uses the latest techniques to create subtle, natural-looking results. The procedure typically targets the sagging facial skin, wrinkles, and volume loss, lifting and tightening the skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Moein will discuss your concerns and goals, helping you choose the right approach. The facelift procedure may include the following steps:
Facelift surgeries are typically outpatient procedures, meaning you’ll be able to go home the same day, but you will need someone to drive you to and from the surgery center.
Following facelift surgery, you may experience some swelling and bruising, which is normal. Over the next few days and weeks, these symptoms will gradually improve as you begin to see the benefits of your facelift. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work after two weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 3 to 4 weeks.
It can take up to one year for all swelling and tightness to completely subside and reveal your final results. As the swelling diminishes, your rejuvenated, youthful appearance will emerge, with scars concealed by your natural hairline and facial contours.
Dr. Moein will schedule post-op appointments to monitor your healing progress and answer any questions you may have during recovery.
The cost of facelift surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the techniques involved. On average, facelift surgery in Los Angeles can range from $15,000 to $25,000. A mini facelift, which addresses less extensive concerns, generally costs around $9,000.
Dr. Moein and his team at Beverly Surgical Arts will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the cost, ensuring there are no hidden fees or unexpected expenses. We also offer financing options to make this life-changing procedure more accessible.
