Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael J. Brown performs a full spectrum of facial surgical procedures in Ashburn, VA at the Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery. The most popular facial cosmetic procedure is by far the facelift.
This surgery focuses on one’s face and neck to tighten any sagging skin or signs of aging, creating a tauter yet softer appearance.
A facelift can focus on the lines and wrinkles near the eyes, the mid-face area and cheeks, and the bottom two-thirds of the face, including the mouth, jowls, neck, and more for an all-encompassing younger and striking look, slowing the aging process.
The facelift technique Dr. Brown will use depends on your aesthetic goals, the health and condition of your skin, the degree of skin laxity, your lifestyle, age, and anatomy.
Some people may be ready for a full facelift, while others are more suited for a mid-face lift. You will be in the best hands in Dr. Brown’s care as he is a highly trained and experienced facelift surgeon who specializes in the complexity and delicacy of such a procedure.
My friend referred me to Dr. Brown and I am so happy with my experience and the results of my facelift. My results turned out better than I ever could have hoped. Thank you!

Surgical Experience
A custom-tailored facelift surgery in Northern Virginia at The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery is a wonderful cosmetic solution for people who want to remove fine lines and wrinkles and elevate their face.
The aesthetic and practical benefits of this treatment for men and women include :
A facelift is ideal for a man or woman who has drooping skin, lines, and wrinkles on their face (either on the whole face or in specific area of the face). A facelift can target one or multiple areas at once.
While there are many facelift techniques, the patient’s age and facial skin condition will play a factor in determining which technique to use. Patients should also be physically healthy, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations in mind.
There are different levels to a facelift. Some facelifts address the upper area of the face, and others focus on the lower two-thirds.
Some methods are also more invasive than others. It is very common for patients to have an eyelid lift, brow lift, or BOTOX and dermal fillers to complement and enhance their facelift results.
If you have facelift surgery in Virgina, your options include:
A common surgery for older adults, the full or “traditional” facelift involves a small incision close to the hairline, extending down to the area near the temples, stopping near the base of the ears.
The deeper layer of facial muscles is carefully stretched and safely tightened to create a lifted look, which reduces excessively loose skin and droopy features. If you have signs of aggressive aging, they will disappear.
A mid-facelift addresses the hollow and lax areas close to the cheekbones, including the upper jaw. The mid-facelift works well for those who want to tighten h the middle to lower region of the face, which will reduce their jowls, or any sagging skin below the jawline and chin.
This lift corrects the chin area and neck and sometimes the jowls. Dr. Brown can perform this non-invasively with a Kybella injection to augment your chin for a smoother, tighter-looking neck.
When undergoing a mini facelift, a thin, small incision is placed near the ears to lift the skin to a higher position, which enhances the mouth and jawline, and neck. This process creates nice, subtle enhancements that look beautiful and natural.
Following your procedure, we will monitor your health until we confirm you are safe to return home with a loved one. Before your procedure, Dr. Brown or someone on his staff will schedule follow-up visits and review your aftercare plan during your facelift recovery. Swelling and bruising are normal, and you can reduce any pain or soreness you feel with over-the-counter medication.
You will feel and look better after several weeks with fewer visible lines and sagging.
Full recovery time will likely last 4 to 6 weeks (about 1 and a half months).
The cost of your facelift will depend on the technique used and other factors. During your consultation with Dr. Brown, he will come up with a custom treatment plan that will match your needs and goals. After that, he will review how much everything will approximately cost. It is worth investing in Dr. Brown to achieve the best-looking results. The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery can also provide more information on low-interest financing options that can make your facelift more affordable.
The best technique for you will vary based on your concerns, goals, level of skin laxity, what areas are being addressed, and more. Dr. Brown will go over the different techniques during your consultation and help you choose which technique is best for you.
Although there are several great non-invasive skin tightening treatments, they are only effective for small improvements. For moderate to severe skin sagging, facelift surgery is the best choice to improve your overall appearance. Dr. Brown will discuss all the choices you have at your disposal and provide his honest professional opinion regarding which one is best for you.
Wrinkle fillers and relaxers, like BOTOX and Juvéderm, have become more popular to improve fine lines and wrinkles. Liquid facelifts, non-surgical wrinkle treatments, are good for early signs of aging, but will not last more than 1 – 2 years. A facelift will produce significant and long-lasting improvements. Feel free to ask Dr. Brown about non-surgical wrinkle treatments during your consultation.
Some patients worry that a facelift will make their skin look fake, overly tight, or like they just came out of a wind tunnel. Dr. Brown focuses on delivering natural, refreshing results and will prioritize all your concerns and goals before creating your custom treatment plan.
Cosmetic facial surgery can help you turn back time and replenish and rejuvenate your face. There are a wide variety of choices to choose from, so don’t wait! We can’t wait to welcome you to The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery and for you to meet Dr. Brown himself.
