Vertical Facelift

Signs of aging often begin long before we are ready, as skin along the jawline starts to sag and deep creases develop in the lower face and midface. A vertical facelift, also known as a vertical vector facelift or vertical rhytidectomy, reverses the natural forces of gravity that pull everything downward, restoring the youthful definition of features like the cheekbones and jawline. The surgery works deep into the facial structure to produce dramatic, long-lasting improvements.

What Is a Vertical Facelift?

A vertical facelift is an advanced surgical technique that lifts the face upward instead of pulling it horizontally. The surgery offers a more natural improvement than traditional facial surgeries, preventing the windswept appearance of past facelifts. The approach repositions the underlying tissue and skin as a single unit to reposition sagging cheeks, reduce deep creases like nasolabial folds, and restore definition to the jawline.

Benefits of a Vertical Facelift

A vertical facelift offers numerous benefits over traditional facelift surgeries for the right patient, including:

  • Natural-looking results without a windswept or overly tight appearance
  • Ability to address multiple areas, from the cheekbones to the neck and jawline
  • Smaller incisions along the hairline and ears for minimal visible scarring
  • Restoration of a more youthful heart-shaped facial contour
  • Long-lasting results that can extend for a decade or long

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Vertical Facelift?

A vertical facelift works best for men and women who want to address:

  • Sagging cheeks
  • Marionette lines and nasolabial folds
  • Jowl formation along the jawline

Candidates should be in good health, non-smokers, with reasonable expectations for the results they can achieve. This procedure requires two to three weeks of recovery time, so patients should prepare to take time off work and social activities after their surgery.

How a Vertical Facelift Is Performed

Dr. Morales will perform your vertical facelift while you are comfortably asleep. He will create small incisions along the hairline and behind the ears, which allow him to release the underlying ligaments and pull the skin and underlying tissue upward. Once he repositions the tissue and deeper structure, he carefully sutures the incisions to create a smooth surface with fewer visible lines and wrinkles.

Vertical Facelift Recovery & Aftercare

The recovery process after a vertical facelift usually takes two to three weeks. Patients typically experience swelling and bruising at first, which will subside after approximately 7–10 days. Dr. Morales will prescribe pain medication to keep you comfortable for the early stage of your recovery. Avoid alcohol and nicotine during your recovery, since they can interfere with the healing process.

What Results Can You Expect From Your Vertical Facelift?

Your vertical facelift will restore your youthful facial contours, particularly around the cheeks and jawline. Your rejuvenated appearance should last 10 years or longer. You can help extend your results by using medical-grade skincare products and daily sun protection.
