Through Dr. Chiodo’s expertise and use of cutting-edge techniques, facelifts achieve longer-lasting, more natural enhancements with minimal scarring.

What Sets Dr. Chiodo Apart?
Expertise in Modern Facelift Techniques
Dr. Chiodo specializes in advanced facelift methods, including deep plane and SMAS techniques, which go beyond tightening the skin to reposition deeper facial structures. These approaches provide long-lasting, natural results, restoring youthful contours without a pulled or artificial look.
Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation
A facelift alone may not address all signs of aging, which is why it is often combined with complementary procedures like neck lifts, fat grafting, or eyelid surgery. This holistic approach ensures a balanced, harmonious outcome, enhancing overall facial rejuvenation for a refreshed, natural appearance.
Tailored Approach
No two faces age the same way, so every facelift in Dallas is customized to each patient’s facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Chiodo carefully evaluates each individual’s needs to create a personalized surgical plan, achieving results that look natural and align with the patient’s unique features.

How Long Do Facelift Results Last?
Facelift results are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their rejuvenated appearance for 10 years or more. However, the longevity of results depends on factors such as age at the time of surgery, skin type, lifestyle, and post-operative care. While a facelift in Dallas can significantly reduce visible aging, it does not halt the natural aging process.
To prolong your results, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and a consistent skincare routine can help preserve a youthful look. Additionally, non-surgical treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers can enhance and extend facelift results over time.
Can a Facelift Be Combined with Other Procedures
A facelift focuses on lifting and repositioning, but for optimal results, additional procedures may be recommended:
- Neck Lift: Addresses sagging skin and muscle laxity below the jawline.
- Fat Grafting: Restores volume lost with aging for a more youthful appearance.
- Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Refreshes tired, heavy-looking eyes.
Facelift FAQs
Are there non-surgical alternatives to a facelift?
While non-surgical options like Botox and dermal fillers can provide temporary improvements, they can’t match the results of a facelift. A facelift in Dallas can take a decade off your face and provide lasting results, and it’s particularly suitable for moderate to severe signs of aging.
What are the risks and potential complications associated with a facelift?
Facelifts, like any surgery, carry some risks, such as infection, scarring, and anesthesia-related issues. Dr. Chiodo will discuss these risks during your consultation for a facelift and ensure your safety throughout the procedure.
How much does a facelift typically cost?
The cost of a facelift in Dallas varies based on individual factors, such as the degree of skin laxity, the type of facelift performed, and more. To get an accurate estimate tailored to your needs, we recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Chiodo.
Will a facelift leave noticeable scars?
Modern facelift techniques minimize scarring. The incisions are strategically placed within the natural folds of your skin, along the hairline, and behind the ears, so they’re inconspicuous. Dr. Chiodo’s expertise in facial rejuvenation ensures scars fade over time, leaving you with natural-looking results.
What is the difference between a full facelift and a mini facelift?
A full facelift addresses more extensive signs of aging, including the neck and lower face, while a mini facelift is less invasive, focusing on specific areas like jowls and mid-face. Dr. Chiodo will recommend the most suitable option for your goals during your consultation for a facelift in Dallas.
How long do the results of a facelift last?
Facelift results last for 10 years or more. The exact duration depends on various factors, including age, skin quality, and lifestyle.
Can a facelift be combined with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, facelifts can be combined with procedures like eyelid surgery, brow lifts, or liposuction for comprehensive rejuvenation. Dr. Chiodo will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your aesthetic goals.
