Dr. Lesavoy’s Facelift Techniques

Dr. Lesavoy customizes every procedure based on the patient’s needs. Here is how his offerings align with common facelift types:
  • Mini Facelift – Ideal for early signs of aging with minimal incisions and shorter recovery. Focuses on the lower face and jawline. (See our Guide to Types of Facelift for candidacy details)
  • Mid Facelift – Targets the cheeks and mid-face for a refreshed, lifted appearance without a full traditional lift.
  • Full Facelift – Comprehensive rejuvenation of the face and neck for more advanced aging.
  • Deep Plane Facelift – Advanced technique that releases and repositions deeper facial tissues for longer-lasting, highly natural results.
  • Facelift with Neck Lift – Combines facial rejuvenation with neck contouring to address turkey neck and jawline definition.
  • Neck Lift – Standalone or combined procedure to tighten loose neck skin and muscles.
  • Local Anesthesia Facelift (Lesavoy Luxury Lift) – Dr. Lesavoy’s signature approach using local anesthesia for select patients, allowing quicker recovery in an office-based setting.
Each technique is chosen after a private consultation to match the patient’s anatomy—exactly the decision-making process we cover in our Prepare for Facelift Guide.
