“After the facelift, I feel more confident. Younger guys are looking at me more. I’m more excited about the way I look and it has made me feel a lot better. A lot of people don’t know what I had done. They just tell me I look great.”

Seattle | Bellevue Facelift | Mini Face Lift | S Lift | SMAS Lift: Jowls and folds around the neck, excess skin and deep creases around the nose and mouth – these are the signs of aging that can be corrected by a facelift. As a leading Seattle face lift surgeon, Dr. Young has performed more than 1,200 face, neck, and eyelifts, and performs 600-1200 other cosmetic and reconstructive procedures each year, restoring lost vitality and natural facial balance for his clients. He has extensive experience in using minimally invasive techniques to help facelift Seattle patients achieve lasting results without the downtime associated with older procedures. He improves the visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin of your face and neck. Importantly, you may want to read about our Philosophy and Dr. Young’s Theory on Facial Beauty to find out why Dr. Young may be the best choice for you.
When performing facelift surgery in Seattle, Dr. Young typically begins with creating incisions within the hairline, above the temple and along or just inside the ear, ending behind the ear (You can scroll down the page to see examples of these Incisions for your Face Lift). This allows access to tighten underlying tissue, remove excess fat and reduce sagging skin. Depending on the needs of each Seattle / Bellevue Face Lift patient, a second incision under the chin is sometimes necessary. If skin tone is good and only mid-face aging or excess fat in the neck will be corrected, abbreviated techniques with shorter incisions may be the best surgical approach. Liposuction techniques may assist with removal of fat deposits.
