Real Facelift Before and After Photos

I am so happy with my entire experience with Renuance. I feel human again after having my abdominal wall restored after many pregnancies. It's amazing to again be able to do the physical things that many take for granted, and I love that the surgery results look amazing! Great staff and doctors. Super friendly and professional, and they really listen to your concerns and goals. Dr Ford is quite the artist! I would recommend to everyone, no doubt about it!
I had an absolutely incredible experience with Dr. Ford and the entire support staff at Renuance! After a year of debating a breast lift and augmentation and countless hours scouring the internet for the best reviewed plastic surgeons in the San Diego/Temecula/LA area, I finally started scheduling consults at the begging on 2026. Dr. Ford was my third and final consult and I knew instantly she was the doctor for me! I was ready to book before the consult was over - it was the first time the meeting felt more like a conversation and not just a formality. Vinny was so incredibly friendly and helpful in scheduling and all of my pre surgery questions. I was shocked when the anesthesiologist reached out to me a day or 2 before surgery just to ask if I had any questions or concerns. This conversation quickly quieted any pre surgery jitters I had. Day of surgery was a breeze. Dr. Ford really made me feel safe and cared for before surgery. I’ve never had any type of surgery before but with her confidence and incredible bedside manner, I never felt even a bit nervous while waiting in pre op. The prep and recovery nurses were also wonderful. Magaly is always so pleasant to work with and helps keep me on schedule for all of my check ups. Recovery has been easier than I expected. I am beyond thrilled with the results. A huge thank you to Dr. Ford and the entire Renuance staff for making this such an amazing process. I would trust Dr. Ford with any of my cosmetic surgery needs.
I left the consultation feeling impressed. Dr Hill’s confidence, caring, and compassionate approach were overwhelmingly positive. I felt well being there; the evaluation process was comprehensive/thorough. In a few more words, I feel comfortable that I will be in good hands. I’m a person of faith, and I feel that I was led to Dr Hill. Vinny’s compassion and professionalism were simply outstanding!
Dr. Ford is an amazing surgeon! Treats you with such care and listens to you. I had an implant exchange after a ruptured implant. She put me back together again!! I couldn't be more pleased with the results!!
Dr Hill articulated the procedure that would be required to achieve what I initially made the appointment for. Miranda also showed me pictures of actual patients before and after the surgery. Both Dr Hill and Miranda were very patient to answer my questions.
Dr Debbie is amazing! She takes the time to explain and always does an excellent job. I never have any bruising.
Everyone was kind and had friendly energy. The surgeon answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable with the procedure I was looking for.
Debbie was super nice and listened to what I wanted. She took her time to give me the results I love. She's amazing
From the moment I walked into the office the receptionist was very nice and helpful. She offered me water and directions to the restroom. Once I saw Dr.Hill he saw my scars and showed great knowledge of the possibilities to treat it as well as share ideas between him and the med spa Dr. I was given a clear and concise plan and full transparency of the process of treating my scars. I’m only one of multiple treatments in with Dr. Hill but I feel very comfortable and confident that he and the med spa Dr. can get me to my desired outcome with my scars. I’m trusting the process! The Renuance staff is wonderful!
Although I haven't had my surgery yet, I had the best consultation I could have hoped for. I've met with more than a few plastic surgeons and I have never felt more comfortable than I do with Dr Ford. This includes my first surgeon. I will update after my surgery is done but she made me feel so welcomed and comfortable that I asked her to do my surgery that week. She is so thorough and takes all precautions that I'm glad she made me wait. She is so kind and understanding it almost makes you feel like you're talking to a friend. I can't wait for my surgery. So wonderful I can't express it enough.

Types of Facelifts Procedures We Offer

Find your perfect match

Traditional (full) facelift

Rejuvenates the midface, lower face, and jawline by removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, and smoothing out deep wrinkles.

Mini facelift

Targets mild sagging and wrinkles in the lower face and jawline with shorter incisions and quicker recovery — suitable for those with early signs of aging.

Mid facelift

Focuses on the area below the eyes to the mouth, lifting sagging cheeks and smoothing out nasolabial folds for a more youthful, refreshed look.

Lower facelift & neck lift

Specifically addresses aging in the lower face and neck, reducing jowls, tightening loose skin, and refining the jawline and neck contour.

Thread lift

Provides a subtle, temporary lift using biodegradable threads that pull the skin tight, ideal for minor sagging and fine lines without significant downtime.

SMAS facelift

Goes deeper than a traditional facelift, targeting the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer to lift and reposition the facial muscles for a more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation.

Deep plane facelift

The most comprehensive approach, repositioning not just the skin and the SMAS layer but also the deeper facial muscles and tissues, effectively addressing severe sagging and deep-set wrinkles.

Your Facelift Experience at Renuance

Your phone screening

Call for an initial facelift phone screening with our surgical patient coordinator. Our coordinator may ask about your age, level of skin laxity, problem areas (sagging jawline, midface, etc.), and aesthetic goals to gain a better understanding of what you need.

You can also discuss your budget, timeline, and whether you have a specific Renuance surgeon in mind for your procedure. Finally, our coordinator will book a virtual or in-person consultation with one of our *board-certified plastic surgeons.

Your 1:1 consultation

Expect your in-depth consultation with a facelift surgeon to take about 60 minutes. During this visit, we’ll assess your face and neck, skin health and quality, and take images from various angles to plan your treatment.

Browse our facelift surgery before and after photos or bring in inspiration images if you have a specific goal in mind. After this visit, we’ll determine whether facelift surgery is right for you and, if so, which type.

Your facelift surgery

Your facelift will take place at our in-house, fully accredited surgical center. This procedure typically takes 3-6 hours, depending on the extent of skin laxity, complexity of the surgery, and type of procedure. We use general anesthesia for most facelift surgeries, so you’ll be asleep.

Once we close up your incisions, we will move you to an in-house private recovery room. Our certified nurses will monitor you until you’re ready to leave. We can also coordinate your transportation arrangements. During your recovery, we’ll create a 360 treatment plan to help maintain your results.

Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a facelift?

During a facelift, our surgical team administers general anesthesia. Once you’re asleep, your plastic surgeon makes precise incisions around your hairline and ears to minimize visible scarring. They lift and tighten the skin and underlying tissues to smooth out wrinkles and firm up the face, remove any excess skin, reposition fat, and neatly close the incisions. This process, aimed at rejuvenating your appearance, ensures a smoother, more youthful look with minimal downtime, focusing on a comfortable and supportive recovery.

Will a facelift make me look unnatural?

The Renuance Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa team prides itself on practicing the art of subtle beauty. Their facelifts don’t pull on your skin to give you the windswept look that’s common to poorly done facelifts. Instead, the gentle lift and fat graft restores your skin to a more youthful position and resculpts your contours and jawline in a way that looks perfectly natural and preserves your unique beauty.

Will I have scars from my facelift?

Your skilled plastic surgeon will make the incisions in areas that are easy to conceal, such as along the hairline or around the contours of the ears. These incisions are carefully planned to ensure that, once healed, the scars are as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, facelift scars typically fade and become less noticeable. Proper care during the healing process, including following your surgeon’s advice on aftercare and sun protection, can help minimize scarring.

How young will a facelift make me look?

While results vary, most patients look 10-12 years younger after facelift surgery. Our team works with you to make sure your results are noticeable but natural-looking.

How long do facelift results last?

Facelift results last around 10-15 years, but they can last longer. Maintaining a healthy skin care routine that you build with one of our aesthetic specialists is essential for your skin’s long-term elasticity.

How much does facelift surgery in Temecula cost?

The cost of a facelift in the Inland Empire varies widely. The complexity of the procedure, the surgeon’s skill level, and other factors influence the total cost of the procedure. Facelifts can be customizable depending on your needs and, therefore, typically range from $18k-$30k.

What is the downtime after facelift surgery?

The downtime after facelift surgery varies from person to person, but generally, you can expect to take it easy for about two weeks. During this time, it’s crucial to rest and follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most people can return to non-strenuous work and social activities within 2-3 weeks, though visible signs of surgery, like bruising and swelling, may take a few weeks to fully subside. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks. Remember, everyone’s healing process is different, and your surgeon will guide you based on your individual progress and healing.
