FAQs
WHAT IS A FACELIFT?
A facelift is a surgical procedure that diminishes fine lines and wrinkles and removes excess skin from around the eyes and jawline to give the face a more rested and youthful appearance. It addresses problems such as:
‣ Sagging skin
‣ Lines between the nose and the corner of the mouth
‣ Jowls
‣ Loose neck skin or “turkey neck”
‣ Volume loss in the cheeks
To help further address some of these concerns, many patients choose to combine their facelift procedure with dermal fillers and injectables, or other facial surgeries such as a neck lift, blepharoplasty or forehead lift.
HOW MUCH DOES A FACELIFT COST?
The cost of your facelift at Eko Plastic Surgery will vary depending on the treatment plan we develop for you. During your consultation, Dr. Eko will discuss your cosmetic goals and treatment needs in order to determine the treatment approach that best suits you. For this reason, we will not be able to provide you with the exact cost of your treatment until you had the chance to come in and discuss your treatment goals with Dr. Eko.
WHAT IS A MINI FACELIFT?
A mini facelift is a less extensive facelift procedure that offers more subtle rejuvenation benefits. It involves smaller incisions, which means a shorter recovery and less scarring for patients. The mini facelift targets the mid-face area, specifically around the cheeks and jowls. It can also help with sagging skin in the neck. The mini facelift procedure is designed to be a less invasive alternative to the full facelift, so it is rarely combined with other procedures.
WHAT IS THE FACELIFT PROCEDURE LIKE?
During the facelift procedure, Dr. Eko lifts the skin to access the underlying facial structures. These underlying supporting facial structures are then repositioned and tightened to produce a more rested and youthful appearance. Upon closing the wounds, excess skin is also removed to produce a smooth and attractive appearance to the face. During the surgery, incisions are made around the ears and in the hairline. Additional incisions may be placed under the chin to improve the appearance of the jawline and neck or to also achieve a simultaneous neck lift. A facelift procedure usually takes a few hours to complete, depending on the number of additional procedures being performed at the same time.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY LIKE AFTER A FACELIFT?
After a facelift, some patients experience mild to moderate amounts of temporary bruising, swelling, and discomfort. These symptoms will usually resolve within a few weeks, although some minor symptoms may persist for a few months. The initial recovery period lasts about two weeks, during which time patients are encouraged to take as much time off of work and other activities as possible to ensure a smooth recovery.
ARE THE RESULTS FROM A FACELIFT PERMANENT?
The results of a real facelift, as performed by Dr. Eko, are incredibly long-lasting, with most patients enjoying their results for as long as 15 years. Unfortunately, the results from a facelift cannot be permanent because it is impossible to stop the natural aging process. Although a facelift produces a more youthful appearance to the face that lasts several years, patients gradually develop signs of facial aging as time goes by; sometimes requiring a repeat procedure a decade or two later.

FAQs about Body and Thigh Lift
What is the average thigh lift recovery time?
You can usually return to light activities within two weeks. Full recovery often takes several weeks, depending on the procedure’s extent.
Will there be visible scarring after the procedure?
There will be some scarring, usually placed in discreet areas. Over time, scars typically fade with proper care and sun protection.
How long do the results of a thigh lift last?
The results of thigh lift surgery in Palm Desert can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While your skin will naturally age over time, the improvement in contour is generally permanent.
Can I combine a thigh lift with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine a thigh lift with procedures like a tummy tuck or arm lift as part of a full body contouring after weight loss plan. Dr. Eko, your plastic surgeon for thigh lifts in Palm Desert, can discuss the best combination based on your goals and health.
How can I get a thigh gap?
The thigh gap is a highly sought-after cosmetic trait. People with a thigh gap have a small gap between the thighs when the legs are together. For some, a strict diet and exercise can create a thigh gap. Unfortunately, a thigh gap is often difficult to obtain. If you are interested in achieving a thigh gap, you may be able to achieve one with an inner thigh lift at Eko Plastic Surgery.
What is the difference between inner and outer thigh lifts?
Inner and outer thigh lifts are two different approaches to the thigh lift procedure, which can be performed together or individually. An inner thigh lift targets the inside of the leg. It is often ideal for patients who experience discomfort due to their legs rubbing together or those who desire a thigh gap. An outer thigh lift targets the outside of the legs and the lower hips. It is often ideal for patients pursuing a thigh lift treatment to enhance their figure.
What is the difference between an upper and lower body lift?
Upper and lower body lifts are two different approaches to the body lift procedure, which can be performed together or individually. An upper body lift targets the arms, chest, and upper back. A lower body lift targets the abdomen, lower back, thighs, and buttocks. Both procedures eliminate stubborn fat and excess skin to create a more contoured figure.
