It is UNBELIEVABLE how I now look the age that I feel. It's so natural that my sister commented that I look like a much younger version of me. Thank you so very much Dr. Karter. I never imagined that the investment in surgery would have had such a huge impact on my life!

Facelift FAQ
What is the difference between a facelift and a deep plane facelift?
A traditional facelift primarily addresses skin laxity, while a deep plane facelift goes deeper to lift the underlying tissues for more significant, long-lasting results.
How much does a facelift cost?
The cost of facelift surgery varies depending on the extent of the procedure and your individual goals. We are happy to discuss your goals and provide you with a quote during your complimentary phone consultation.
How long is the recovery after a facelift?
Most patients return to normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks, with full results visible as swelling subsides over the next few months.
Are facelift results permanent?
While no procedure can stop aging, a facelift provides long-lasting results—often 10+ years—with proper skin care and healthy lifestyle habits.

What Can a Deep Plane Facelift Do for You?
Unlike traditional facelifting techniques, the deep plane approach goes beyond the skin to lift and reposition the underlying facial tissues and muscles. This elevated, modern technique offers several benefits, including:
- Tension-Free Results – Tightens lax skin while avoiding the "pulled" or overly tight appearance of older methods.
- Long-Lasting Rejuvenation – Achieves natural-looking results you can enjoy for years.
- Improved Neck and Jawline Definition – Reduces jowls, slims the neck, and creates a more elegant profile.
- Youthful Volume Restoration – Smooths deep lines and creates an uplifted appearance.
Dr. Karter’s deep plane facelift technique refines aging features while preserving your unique, natural appearance.

Neck Lift & Deep Neck Sculpting: The Perfect Facelift Companion
Combining a neck lift or deep neck sculpting with your facelift creates smooth, youthful contours from your cheeks to your collarbone—all in one expertly coordinated procedure.
Pairing the procedures can:
- Enhance the jawline and chin for refined, natural-looking definition
- Remove stubborn fullness, especially in genetically full necks
- Target deeper structures for longer-lasting results
The result is a firmer, more balanced profile that complements your facial rejuvenation beautifully.
