Facelift in Connecticut

Castle Logo Connecticut Logo New York Logo Vitals Logo Greenwhich Logo

As the aging process, stress, and environmental factors impact our faces over the years, the visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and hollow areas, become apparent, making us seem older than we feel. Dr. David Passaretti offers the Dual Plane Plication Facelift® or DP Lift®, an innovative option for Facelift in Connecticut that provides the advantages of the procedure without the associated risks and extended recovery period.

What is a Facelift?

The facelift procedure, or rhytidectomy, is designed to lift the skin on the face and the neck, providing patients a refreshed, youthful appearance with a natural-looking outcome. Since this is a delicate procedure, it’s important to work with a highly skilled surgeon who has extensive experience. The Facelift is often combined with other cosmetic rejuvenation procedures to enhance overall facial aesthetics and skin texture, delivering dramatic improvements and heightened confidence.

Full Facelift

The full Facelift addresses many areas of concern, from lines under the eyes to a sagging jawline. When performing this procedure, Dr. David Passaretti, board-certified Connecticut plastic surgeon, often integrates a Dual Plane Plication Lift® along with complementary procedures such as a brow lift, blepharoplasty, and laser skin rejuvenation for a more comprehensive result.

Mini Facelift

A mini-facelift focuses on the lower third of the face, including the jaw, chin, and lower cheeks. The least invasive type of this procedure, it involves minimal incisions and is sometimes known as the “weekend facelift” because of its short recovery time.

Mid Facelift

Enhancing mid-face volume in the cheeks and near the eyes is the goal of the mid facelift. Dr. Passaretti typically accesses deep tissue during this procedure in order to make comprehensive adjustments and may use fat grafting or implants to achieve the ideal contour and volume.

Neck Lift

While the neck may be the earliest or primary concern for many patients, options that address the neck alone can result in an unbalanced or unnatural look when the lower face is not also tightened and sculpted. For most patients, to achieve a naturally youthful result, Dr. Passaretti uses a Dual Plane Plication Lift® for stunning outcomes.

Dual Plane Plication Lift

This advanced Facelift technique rejuvenates the face with natural-looking results by adjusting the skin and deeper layers of facial tissue, the SMAS or deep plane, separately. The use of innovative barbed suture technology and corrective movement in five independent vectors or directions allows for superior and dynamic results. For totally comprehensive restoration, we can also use laser resurfacing to improve skin tone and texture.

Facelift Benefits

Bright, youthful, and vibrant facial rejuvenation is possible with a Connecticut Facelift procedure. Patients can enjoy:

  • Smooth, tight skin on the face and neck
  • Fewer deep wrinkles and creases
  • Restore volume to the cheeks or other hollow areas
  • Complete personalized and modification possibilities

Am I a candidate for a Facelift?

Candidates for a rhytidectomy will want to address major signs of aging in the face, including lines, wrinkles, creases, and volume loss, and may also want to improve skin tone and texture. Patients should be in generally good health and should understand the likely and realistic outcomes of surgery.

At a consultation, he will get to know you and your goals and craft a comprehensive treatment plan that outlines the procedure and provides preparation requirements.

Facelift Procedure

Facelift surgery is performed under full sedation and typically takes about two to four hours.

In most cases, this is an outpatient surgery and does not require an overnight stay.
