A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at reversing the signs of aging by lifting and tightening facial tissues. Dr. Andrew Dullnig, our esteemed facial cosmetic surgeon at Beyond Esthetics in Annandale, Virginia, specializes in various facelift techniques, customizing each procedure to suit individual aesthetic goals and needs.
Why Facelift?
Individuals seek facelift procedures for various reasons:
- Sagging Skin: Addressing loose or drooping facial skin caused by aging, gravity, or weight loss.
- Deep Wrinkles: Smoothing out deep creases, folds, or lines, particularly around the cheeks and jowls.
- Facial Contours: Restoring youthful contours by lifting and repositioning underlying tissues.
Facelift Techniques
Dr. Dullnig employs several facelift approaches to achieve optimal results:
- Traditional Facelift (SMAS Facelift): Addresses sagging facial tissues by lifting and tightening the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer along with skin repositioning.
- Mini Facelift: Targets mild to moderate facial aging using shorter incisions and focusing on specific areas, ideal for younger patients or those with limited signs of aging.
- Deep Plane Facelift: Repositions deeper facial tissues, allowing for more significant lifting and rejuvenation, particularly in the midface and jowl areas.
- Composite Facelift: Addresses multiple layers of facial tissue to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation, combining SMAS and deep plane techniques.
Procedure Overview
Facelift procedures involve detailed planning and specific techniques tailored to each patient:
- Consultation: Dr. Dullnig assesses facial concerns, discusses aesthetic goals, and recommends a customized facelift approach.
- Surgical Techniques: Depending on the chosen technique, facelift surgery involves lifting, repositioning, and sometimes removing excess skin and tissues.
- Recovery: Post-surgery, patients receive comprehensive instructions for care, including managing swelling and bruising. Follow-up visits monitor healing progress.
Considerations and Expectations
Patients considering facelift procedures should be aware of:
- Realistic Expectations: Final results emerge gradually as swelling subsides, revealing a rejuvenated appearance.
- Recovery Duration: Allowing sufficient time for healing and adhering to post-operative care guidelines for optimal outcomes.
Beyond Esthetics Reviews
This is one of the most professional medical offices I have been in. I came for my consultation and last minute had to bring my baby and they were so understanding, kind, and genuine! Looking forward to my procedure soon! Very happy to have found them and that they are so close to home!
Wonderful office and amazing staff very knowledgeable with all the different types of treatments and upgraded technology with all their lasers. I had a great experience with my cosmetic treatment and highly recommend Dr. Leo. Can’t wait to get my next treatment, I love this place!!
I've been getting ‘tox injections at Beyond Esthetics for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The staff is friendly and professional, and the injections are painless. Highly recommend!
I had a real “treat yourself” moment – I didn’t want a facelift, so we’re doing a combination therapy! Laser skin resurfacing, collagen contouring, a little IPL, and a combo of tox and filler. I started back in January and the results are giving me a decade back at least. The staff at Beyond Esthetics were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful during my initial consultation. They took the time to understand my concerns and recommended the perfect treatment for me. I'm so happy with the results!
I've struggled with hair loss for years, but the hair restoration treatment at Beyond Esthetics has been a game changer. My hair looks fuller and healthier than ever, and the staff was incredibly supportive throughout the process. Kam has become both my esthetician and therapist for life!

Facelift FAQs
How much does a facelift cost?
The total cost of your facelift will depend on the technique used. In your consultation, Dr. Perez will create your custom treatment plan to match your needs and goals. Once this is established, he can go over cost estimates. To avoid unnatural results, it's better to focus on finding an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Perez, instead of the lowest price. Beyond Esthetics can give you information on low-interest medical financing that will make your surgery easier to afford.
Which technique is best for me?
The best surgical facelift technique for you will depend on your needs, goals, level of skin laxity, which areas are being addressed, and other factors. To produce the desired results, Dr. Perez will review the different surgical techniques during your consultation. He will then help you choose which technique is best.
Should I get a surgical or nonsurgical facelift?
While many great noninvasive skin tightening procedures exist, they can usually only provide minor improvements. Facelift surgery is the best choice to significantly improve your appearance if you have moderate to severe skin sagging. During your consultation, Dr. Perez will discuss your options, including nonsurgical procedures, to help you decide what is best for your needs and goals.
What about wrinkle fillers and relaxers over facelift surgery?
Wrinkle fillers and relaxers, like BOTOX and Juvéderm, have become more popular to improve fine lines and wrinkles. Also known as a liquid facelift, nonsurgical wrinkle treatments usually help with early signs of aging, but the results are temporary. A facelift can produce more dramatic improvements than injectables with long-lasting results. Ask Dr. Perez about nonsurgical wrinkle treatments during your consultation.
Will my results look natural?
Many patients worry that a facelift will make their skin look shiny, overly tight, or like they live in a wind tunnel. Dr. Perez focuses on giving you a natural-looking result, so you appear refreshed and not fake. He listens to your needs and goals before developing your personal treatment plan to produce your best results.
