What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, or "rhytidectomy", is a transformative facial surgery that rejuvenates the face and neck by addressing sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial contours. By lifting and tightening the skin and underlying tissues, a facelift restores a smoother, more youthful appearance, helping patients feel more confident and refreshed.
Modern techniques emphasize natural beauty, using well-placed incisions to minimize visible scarring while achieving refined, elegant results. Whether addressing significant signs of aging with a full facelift or targeting specific areas like the mid-face with a mini facelift, each procedure is customized to the patient’s unique goals and facial structure.
For those considering a facelift in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, Dr. Carey Nease combines advanced surgical techniques with an artistic eye to deliver stunning, natural-looking results that stand the test of time.

Facelift Recovery & Aftercare
Here are six key aspects of facelift recovery and aftercare to ensure optimal results:
1
Manage Swelling and Bruising
Swelling and bruising are normal after a facelift. Use cold compresses as directed and keep your head elevated to minimize these effects.
2
Follow Incision Care Instructions
Properly cleaning and caring for incision sites helps prevent infection and promotes healing. Use prescribed ointments and follow your surgeon’s guidelines.
3
Rest and Avoid Strenuous Activities
Take time to rest and avoid heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for the first few weeks to ensure proper recovery.
4
Attend Follow-Up Appointments
Regular follow-up visits with your surgeon ensure your recovery is on track and allow for any adjustments to your aftercare plan.
5
Protect Your Skin from Sun Exposure
Use sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight on your face to protect delicate, healing skin and prevent scarring.
6
Be Patient with Results
Final results may take several weeks to fully develop as swelling subsides. Give your body the time it needs to heal and reveal a rejuvenated, natural look.
These aftercare steps are essential for a smooth recovery and achieving the best possible facelift results. Always follow your surgeon’s personalized instructions for optimal outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Facelift Cost?
Generally speaking, a full facelift at Nease Cosmetic Surgery averages $15,000. The cost of a mini facelift is between $9,500 and $12,500+. Costs can vary greatly from patient to patient, depending on a number of contributing variables, and will be thoroughly discussed during your initial consultation.

What is a Mini Facelift?
A mini facelift, as the name indicates, is a somewhat scaled-down version of a traditional facelift. The scars are shorter and smaller and the results are more subtle. Mini facelifts are designed to address mild or moderate sagging, primarily limited to the mid-face area, rather than the whole facial region as in a full facelift.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
This is ultimately decided by your surgeon, but if you’re an adult with no outstanding issues in your medical history, chances are you’ll be a good candidate for a facelift. Your doctor can help make sure your expectations about the final results are realistic and attainable.
What is Facelift Recovery Like?
Recovery times will vary from one patient to another, but generally, it will take about two weeks before you can return to normal activities. Vigorous exercise and other activities can be resumed after about a month.
Your best bet for the most successful, speediest recovery is to follow the post-op instructions you’ll receive from your doctor after your facelift procedure.
