It’s only human to want to look your best. Over time, aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors like smoking can cause skin to lose elasticity and develop deep lines or sagging. Fortunately, with a facelift performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, you can achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance that still looks natural.
Patients at Atlanta Plastic & Reconstructive Specialists are cared for by a team of board-certified surgeons—Dr. Bahair Ghazi, and Dr. John D. Symbas —whose advanced training at Emory University and the University of Virginia informs their refined, meticulous approach to cosmetic surgery. Drawing on decades of collective experience, they create results that elevate natural structure rather than mask it. From redefining the jawline to softening deep creases, every facial procedure is crafted with thoughtful technique, artistic intuition, and a commitment to outcomes that look effortless and authentically you.
Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures
Each facial procedure is designed to enhance balance, restore youthful structure, and maintain a natural appearance. Our surgeons tailor every treatment to your unique features and goals.
Facelift & Neck Lift
Facelifts and neck lifts address sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of definition in the lower face and neck. By repositioning underlying structures and refining contours, these procedures create a smoother jawline and a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Brow Lift
A brow lift elevates a drooping or heavy brow, helping to reduce forehead lines and restore a more open, alert expression. This procedure can subtly rejuvenate the upper face while maintaining natural movement.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Eyelid surgery improves the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin and addressing puffiness. The result is a brighter, more rested look that enhances overall facial harmony.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Rhinoplasty refines the size, shape, and proportion of the nose to better align with your facial features. Whether addressing cosmetic concerns or structural issues, this procedure is carefully performed to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.
Chin & Cheek Augmentation
Enhancing the chin or cheeks can improve facial proportions and create stronger definition. These procedures help restore balance by adding structure to areas that may appear recessed or lack contour.
Ear Reshaping (Otoplasty)
Otoplasty corrects the position, shape, or proportion of the ears. Often performed to address prominent ears, this procedure creates a more balanced and harmonious profile.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer restores lost volume using your body’s own natural tissue. Commonly used in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area, it creates a softer, fuller appearance while maintaining a natural look and feel.
Scar Revision
Scar revision improves the appearance of visible scars by refining their size, texture, or placement. The goal is to help scars blend more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.
When to Consider Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation is about restoring balance and helping your appearance reflect how you feel. Many patients begin exploring options as natural changes in the face become more noticeable.
You may consider treatment if you notice:
- A more tired or aged appearance
- Sagging skin or reduced definition in the face or neck
- Deepening lines or creases
- Loss of volume in the cheeks or temples
- Changes in facial balance or contour
A consultation allows your surgeon to assess your concerns and recommend the most appropriate approach, whether surgical or non-surgical, to achieve natural, refreshed results.
The Benefits of Facial Rejuvenation Procedures
Facial rejuvenation can restore balance, improve definition, and create a refreshed, more youthful appearance. Key benefits may include:
- Smoother skin with reduced wrinkles or creases.
- Improved facial symmetry and proportion.
- Enhanced contour in areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and mid-face.
- Restored volume for a fuller, more youthful look.
- A natural, refreshed appearance that aligns with how patients feel.
Patients often experience greater confidence, both socially and professionally, as their outward appearance more closely reflects their energy and personality.
What Facial Procedures Can Address
Facial procedures can address many common aesthetic concerns, enabling targeted improvement tailored to each patient’s needs. These treatments can help:
- Reduce sagging skin in the face or neck.
- Soften deep folds or creases.
- Restore volume to hollowed areas such as the cheeks or temples.
- Improve facial symmetry and balance.
- Refine the appearance of the nose, eyelids, or jawline.
By combining complementary treatments when appropriate, surgeons can achieve balanced improvements that blend seamlessly across facial regions.
Recovery and Healing Overview
Recovery timelines vary based on the procedures performed, but most patients can expect:
- Initial swelling and bruising to improve significantly within one to two weeks.
- A gradual return to normal routines based on comfort and healing progress.
- Ongoing refinement over several months as tissues soften and settle.
- Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
Following post-care instructions—including caring for incisions, managing swelling, and attending follow-up visits—helps ensure a smooth and predictable healing process. As recovery progresses, patients typically notice ongoing improvements in contour, vitality, and overall facial harmony. With proper care, results can remain refined and long-lasting.
Combining Facial Procedures for Comprehensive Results
Facial aging and structural concerns often affect multiple areas at once. Combining procedures allows for more cohesive, harmonious results by addressing the face as a whole rather than focusing on a single feature.
Common combinations include:
- Facelift + Neck Lift: Refines the lower face and neck together for a smoother jawline and improved overall contour.
- Blepharoplasty + Brow Lift: Rejuvenates the upper face by lifting the brows and refreshing the eye area for a more awake, youthful appearance.
- Facelift + Fat Transfer: Tightens and lifts while restoring lost volume, creating a more natural and complete rejuvenation.
- Chin Augmentation + Rhinoplasty: Enhances facial balance by improving the relationship between the nose and chin.
By thoughtfully combining procedures when appropriate, your surgeon can create results that feel balanced, refined, and authentically you.
