Face Lift in Indianapolis

Facelift surgery primarily addresses the lower two-thirds of the face, including the jawline, chin, and neck. Many patients notice skin laxity and signs of aging in the lower face first, making a facelift a suitable option. However, our skilled team can also tailor your facelift to address aging in the midface, targeting areas such as the cheeks.

Concerns regarding the eyelids, eyebrows, or forehead require a separate procedure, such as an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) or brow lift (also known as a forehead lift). To achieve comprehensive rejuvenation, we often perform these procedures in conjunction with a facelift.

At Turkle & Associates, we take a completely personalized approach to facial plastic surgery. During your consultation, we’ll discuss if and how other procedures, such as rhinoplasty and chin augmentation, can enhance your facelift results.

Facelift surgery alone cannot improve rough skin texture. However, we commonly perform facelifts in conjunction with procedures that do improve texture, such as laser resurfacing or chemical peels at Phases Skin Care & Laser Center. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your best options for achieving naturally lifted, youthfully radiant results that are authentic to you.

Typically, the incisions begin within the temporal hairline and continue along or just inside the ear, ending behind the ear within the hairline. Sometimes, we create a second incision hidden beneath the chin, and may perform liposuction to remove excess fat.

Most bruises resolve within 10 to 14 days and can be easily covered with makeup. We will provide you with all of the post-care instructions you need to minimize bruising and streamline the healing process.

You can expect to see your final results 6 to 12 months after your facelift in Indianapolis, once deeper tissues have completely healed. That being said, you’ll notice excellent results about 6 weeks after surgery, once incisions have healed and the majority of swelling has resolved. The changes that occur thereafter are minor and usually only noticeable when looking closely at photographs.

With optimal after-care, a thoughtful skincare routine, and healthy habits, the sculpted contours of your facelift can last for decades.

However, we cannot stop the hands of time entirely. A facelift procedure subtly tightens your skin and lifts your features to prolong your youthful glow. But the natural aging process and any subsequent weight fluctuations can eventually wear away at your skin and facial structures.

Significant variations in your facial fullness and skin quality can diminish the results of your facelift. Our team can collaborate with you to target subsequent signs of aging as desired.

Absolutely! Our goal with any cosmetic surgery, but especially a facelift, is not to change your features. It is to enhance them. After a facelift, you will simply look like a younger, more refreshed version of yourself.

At Turkle & Associates, we understand how much you value this investment in yourself. So our surgeons are transparent about the cost of your care. We can work with you to shape your treatment expectations and map out a financial plan that fits your lifestyle.

As a baseline, we typically estimate a cost of at least $14,400 for a facelift in Indianapolis. This cost is not fixed, however—the depth of your surgical intervention plays a role in the price tag. The price also reflects your provider’s experience and the standard operating room fees necessary for surgery.

• Your surgeon’s expertise: When you partner with Turkle & Associates for your procedure, you’re investing in the highest caliber of care. Our dual board-certified surgeons have decades of experience in plastic surgery and have helped thousands of patients make their visions a reality through safe, personalized enhancements.
• Your surgical goals: Addressing sagging along your neck and jawline will be far less complex than targeting forehead lines, a sagging brow, midface laxity, and jowls. The extent of surgical intervention naturally informs the cost of your care.
• Your operating room supplies: In order to perform surgery, your team needs standard supplies like anesthesia, splints, sutures, and bandages. Your operating room fees account for this equipment, enabling us to keep you comfortable for the duration of your facelift in Indianapolis.

Our providers make time to walk through your personalized pricing estimate and your financing options to help you achieve your aesthetic goals on your timeline.
