Las Vegas Facelift

Aging is part of life—but the visible signs of aging don’t have to define you. At Cara Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, Dr. David Kahng offers advanced facelift procedures designed to restore youthful contours and soften deep lines—all while preserving your natural beauty and expression.

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift (also known as rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin, repositions deeper tissues, and restores definition to the lower face and jawline. Over time, the effects of gravity, collagen loss, and volume depletion can cause jowls, deep folds, and skin laxity. A facelift helps reverse these changes, giving your face a fresher, more rejuvenated look.

At our Las Vegas clinic, Dr. Kahng brings precision and artistry to every facelift, ensuring elegant results that never appear overdone.

What Concerns Can a Facelift Address?

Facelift surgery is ideal for patients concerned with:

Sagging skin in the lower cheeks and jawline
Jowls and softening of the jaw contour
Deep nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Loose or crepey skin around the neck
A general tired or aged facial appearance

For full facial rejuvenation, a facelift can also be combined with eyelid surgery, brow lift, fat transfer, or neck lift to address aging in surrounding areas.

Facelift Techniques Offered in Las Vegas

Traditional Facelift

The full facelift targets moderate to advanced signs of aging in the lower face and neck. Incisions are carefully placed along the hairline and around the ears, allowing Dr. Kahng to lift deeper tissue layers, remove excess skin, and redefine facial contours with natural precision.

Mini Facelift

This less invasive procedure is perfect for early aging changes. Using shorter incisions, the mini facelift focuses on correcting mild sagging along the jawline and cheeks. It offers shorter recovery and is ideal for younger patients or those seeking a subtle lift.

Deep Plane Facelift

Dr. Kahng specializes in the deep plane facelift—a sophisticated approach that repositions not just the skin, but the underlying muscle and facial structures. This technique provides the most natural, long-lasting results, especially for:

Drooping cheeks or midface
Prominent jowls
Deep facial folds

The deep plane technique avoids the tight, overstretched look and yields smoother, youthful contours that evolve beautifully over time.

Specialized Facelift for Asian Patients

As a Korean-American surgeon with expertise in Asian facial structure, Dr. Kahng customizes facelifts for patients of Asian descent seeking subtle enhancement that maintains ethnic identity. His approach is focused on restoring youthful volume and definition without sacrificing natural proportions.

What to Expect During Recovery

Your recovery experience will depend on the facelift technique used. Generally, most Las Vegas patients can expect:

Swelling and bruising to subside within 10–14 days
A return to work or social activities after 1 to 2 weeks
Full contour refinement over 2 to 4 months

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote smooth healing and optimal results. Scars are discreetly hidden around the ears and hairline, and they fade with time.

Natural Results You’ll Feel Confident In

Once healed, your facelift results will be:

Smoother and firmer lower face and neck
Enhanced jawline definition
A more youthful, rested appearance
Subtle enough that people notice you look great—without knowing why

Dr. Kahng’s work is often described as “refreshing” rather than “obvious.”
