Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hayley Brown has spent decades helping clear up what a facelift really is: a procedure that refreshes your appearance without drastically changing how you look. That’s exactly the kind of outcome patients have come to expect from Desert Hills Plastic Surgery Center in Henderson, Nevada.
Myth 1: Facelifts Always Look Pulled or Fake
This is one of the most common concerns and one of the least accurate. A well-done facelift shouldn’t look obvious. Dr. Brown creates youthful contours without distorting your features. She wants you to look like yourself, not someone else!
Myth 2: You Have to Be “Older” to Get a Facelift
Facial aging doesn’t follow a strict timeline. Some patients in their 40s start to notice skin laxity or jowling that they want to address early. Others wait until their 60s or 70s. Your age matters less than your facial structure, skin tone, and goals.
Myth 3: Recovery Takes Months
Facelift recovery is more manageable than many expect. Most patients return to work and daily activities within two weeks. Some swelling can last a bit longer, but Dr. Brown provides detailed aftercare to help you recover smoothly.
Myth 4: Non-Surgical Options Work Just as Well
Injectables and skin treatments can help with fine lines and volume loss, but they can’t reposition sagging tissue. When facial skin and muscles need true lifting, surgery is still the most effective option.
Dr. Brown’s Approach to Facelift Surgery
If you’re thinking about a facelift but still unsure, sitting down with Dr. Hayley Brown can help clear things up. She’ll take the time to understand what’s bothering you and walk you through options that make sense for your face.
