Las Vegas, Nevada
Introduction to Facelift
Despite the rise in popularity of nonsurgical facial aging treatments such as injectable cosmetics, facelift procedures are still very common. Patients seeking a more permanent solution may want to adjust and refine more than just one or two areas of their complexion.
With modern rhytidectomy surgery, this can be a realistic goal that is effectively achieved. Gone are the overstretched, “surprised” looks typically associated with facelift procedures in the past. Using modern techniques, surgeons can reposition the underlying muscle and fascial layers in the neck and face, allowing the skin to be re-draped in a smooth but tension-free fashion.
Procedure Options
A facelift targets the effects of aging and gravity to lift and support fallen cheeks, jowls, and neck skin — with several approaches tailored to your individual needs.
Dr. Ahmed makes a primary incision running from the temples along the hairline to below the earlobes. Muscles are repositioned, tissues reshaped, and excess skin redraped over the newly positioned musculature.
Shorter in duration than a traditional facelift but still produces great aesthetic results. Suitable for younger patients with minor facial skin sagging, addressing the lower face only with a reduced recovery period.
Lifts and repositions deeper facial tissues for longer-lasting, natural results. Targets muscles and deeper fat tissues, releasing and repositioning deeper layers rather than simply pulling the skin.
Targets the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System beneath the skin. Lifting and tightening the SMAS improves sagging in the lower face and jawline, providing longer-lasting effects than a skin-only facelift.
A nonsurgical technique using dermal fillers and Botox to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and lift sagging areas. Provides a more youthful look without surgery — results typically last 6 months to 2 years.
Collagen is an important protein in the body that promotes skin elasticity. Unfortunately, as we age, collagen production in our skin diminishes, which causes sagging. The physical inevitabilities of aging cause the elasticity and tightness of our skin to decline over time, causing furrows, drooping, fine lines, and wrinkles. There are several ways a facelift procedure can help to minimize the signs of aging, including:

Getting Started
The first step in your facial rejuvenation journey is a personal consultation with Dr. Ahmed. Before your appointment, prepare photographs of your face from different angles and write down your cosmetic surgery goals.
Dr. Ahmed will briefly examine your face and neck, check your skin’s pliability and elasticity, and describe what your facelift procedure will achieve. Your treatment plan will be devised and you will set a date for your surgery.
To prepare for your rhytidectomy, take these important precautions in the days and weeks before surgery:
After Dr. Ahmed administers anesthesia, your surgery is performed in stages involving incisions in key areas of the face to reshape and restore according to your individualized plan.
Recovery typically takes 1–2 weeks. Expect some temporary bruising and moderate discomfort. After surgery, Dr. Ahmed will wrap your head with an elastic compression garment to secure your newly restored features.
Tips for Recovery
Dr. Ahmed’s staff will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure you are healing well and happy with the outcome of your surgery.
Investment in Yourself
