Aging, weight changes, and genetics can gradually alter your facial contours, leaving you with sagging skin, deep folds, or a jawline that feels less defined than it once was. If these changes make you feel disconnected from the way you want to look, a facelift in Milwaukee can address laxity in the cheeks, jowls, and lower face for a more refreshed profile. At Quintessa, board-certified facial plastic surgeons Dr. Andrew Campbell and Dr. Jake Thayer offer advanced facelift techniques tailored to your needs to help you reclaim youthful contours.

Restore Youthful Facial Contours
A facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the deeper facial tissues that contribute to sagging, jowls, and loss of definition. Rather than stretching the skin, modern facelift techniques focus on repositioning underlying structures to restore natural contours in the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. The goal is to help you look refreshed, not different, by addressing the visible signs of aging that no longer match how youthful and vibrant you feel.

Types of Facelifts
Deep Plane Facelift
A deep plane facelift focuses on repositioning the deeper layers of facial tissue, rather than simply tightening the skin. This technique addresses pronounced sagging in the cheeks, jawline, and midface, creating a naturally lifted appearance without looking pulled. By releasing and repositioning underlying structures, it improves facial definition, smooths folds, and restores youthful volume. This approach is ideal for those seeking comprehensive rejuvenation.
SMAS Facelift
A SMAS facelift in Milwaukee targets the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, the deeper fibrous layer responsible for facial support. By tightening and repositioning this tissue layer, the procedure improves definition in the cheeks, jawline, and lower face while maintaining a natural look. This technique offers durable, refined results by addressing facial aging where it begins (beneath the skin) for enhanced facial balance and youthful contours.
Mini Facelift
A mini facelift is a less extensive surgery for those with early signs of aging who don’t yet need a full facelift. It focuses on mild sagging in the lower face and jawline using shorter incisions and a more targeted approach. With a reduced recovery period, it subtly enhances facial contours, refreshes your appearance, and delays further signs of aging. It’s ideal for those seeking noticeable improvement without the downtime of a full facelift.
Revision Facelift
A revision facelift is performed to refine or correct the results of a previous facelift. Whether the initial outcome has changed over time, appears unnatural, or didn’t fully meet expectations, this procedure restores harmony and enhances facial definition. The goal is to address lingering concerns while preserving your facial identity, creating a natural, balanced, and rejuvenated appearance tailored to your current needs and goals.
Key Benefits and Expected Results

- Smoother, firmer facial contours
- Reduced sagging in the cheeks and jawline
- Softened deep lines and facial folds

Your Complete Facelift Experience
1. Consultation
During your facelift consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, goals, and desired outcome with your surgeon. You’ll undergo a detailed facial assessment, including skin quality, bone structure, and areas of volume loss, so we can understand what’s driving your aging changes. Your surgeon will review your options, explain recommended techniques, and answer your questions, helping you make an informed decision about your treatment plan.
2. Surgery
During your facelift, Dr. Campbell or Dr. Thayer begins by making discreet incisions along natural creases around the ears and hairline. Through these openings, they reposition and tighten the facial tissues responsible for sagging, rather than just pulling the skin. Excess skin may be removed, and underlying structures are lifted to restore youthful contours. Once the adjustments are complete, the incisions are precisely closed to support optimal healing.
3. Recovery
After your facelift in Milwaukee, you can expect swelling, bruising, tightness, and mild discomfort for the first week. You’ll need to keep your head elevated, avoid strenuous activities, and follow all of your surgeon’s care instructions closely. Most patients feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous activities in 10 to 14 days, with visible swelling improving significantly within two to three weeks. You’ll notice a smoother, more defined facial appearance as your healing progresses.

Facelift FAQs:
How Long Do Facelift Results Last?
You can expect your facelift results to last many years, often a decade or more, depending on your skin quality, genetics, lifestyle, and sun exposure. While a facelift cannot stop the aging process, it effectively turns back the clock by repositioning deeper tissues, tightening loose skin, and restoring facial definition. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following proper skincare can help prolong your results.
Will a Facelift Make Me Look Unnatural?
A modern facelift in Milwaukee, when performed by skilled surgeons, can preserve your facial identity. You’ll look like yourself, just more refreshed. The goal isn’t to stretch the skin, but rather to reposition the underlying tissues for natural results that move with your expressions. You won’t appear “pulled” or overdone when the procedure is thoughtfully planned and executed.
Is a Facelift Painful?
You may experience tightness, soreness, or mild discomfort during the early recovery period, but most patients are surprised by how manageable it feels. Prescription medication and cold compresses help ease symptoms. Any discomfort improves as swelling decreases.
