What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address moderate to severe signs of aging such as sagging skin, loss of elasticity, and the formation of wrinkles, folds, and creases. The procedure involves small, discreet incisions near the hairline, around the ears, and the scalp to remove excess skin and fat while tightening underlying tissues.
Dr. Mang will evaluate your specific concerns and recommend a tailored facelift technique to help you achieve natural-looking results based on factors such as:
- Skin laxity in your jawline, midface, and neck
- Presence of deep folds or creases
- Volume loss and sagging
- Jowls and pre-jowls
- A double chin

What to Expect During a Facelift Procedure in Tampa, FL
Dr. Mang personalizes each facelift to achieve the best possible results. Before surgery, you will meet with him and your anesthesia provider to review your plan and ask any last-minute questions.
Once you are under anesthesia, Dr. Mang will make carefully placed incisions along your hairline and around your ears. He will then remove excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying facial structures. Finally, he will reposition the remaining skin to create a more youthful contour and precisely close the incisions.
A facelift procedure typically lasts between four to six hours, depending on its complexity.
Facelift Aftercare and Recovery
As a facelift is an outpatient procedure, you will need someone to drive you home and assist you for the first 24 to 48 hours. Initially, you may experience mild discomfort, swelling, bruising, and muscle tightness, but these effects will gradually subside. Most patients resume their typical activities within one to three weeks.
Dr. Mang may prescribe pain medication or recommend over-the-counter options to alleviate discomfort. He will provide personalized recovery guidelines, including when to resume exercise. For optimal healing, patients with physically demanding jobs may need additional recovery time.

Tampa, FL Facelift FAQ
How Much Does a Facelift Cost?
The total cost of your facelift will vary based on the technique used. During your consultation, Dr. Mang will create your custom treatment plan to match your needs and goals. When this is complete, he can go over estimates of fees. To avoid unnatural-looking results, it’s best to focus on finding an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Mang, instead of the cheapest price. Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery can give you information on low-interest medical financing that will make your surgery easier to afford.
Which Technique Is Best for Me?
The best surgical facelift technique for you will depend on your needs, goals, degree of skin laxity, which areas are being addressed, and more. To produce the results you want, Dr. Mang will explain the different techniques in your consultation. He will then help you decide which technique is best.
Should I Get a Surgical or Nonsurgical Facelift?
While there are many great noninvasive skin tightening procedures, these can usually only produce mild improvements. For moderate to severe skin sagging, a surgical facelift is the best choice to significantly improve your appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Mang will discuss your options, including nonsurgical procedures, to help you decide which is best for your needs and goals.
What About Wrinkle Fillers and Relaxers Over Facelift Surgery?
Wrinkle fillers and relaxers, like JUVÉDERM®️ and BOTOX, have become more popular to refresh the face. Sometimes known as a liquid facelift, injectable wrinkle treatments can give early signs of aging, but the results are temporary. A facelift can produce more dramatic improvements than injectables with results that can last for a long time. Ask Dr. Mang about nonsurgical wrinkle treatments during your consultation.
Will My Results Look Natural?
Many patients worry that facelift surgery will make their skin look shiny, overly tight, or like they are in a wind tunnel. Dr. Mang focuses on giving you a natural-looking result, so you look refreshed and not fake. He listens to your concerns and goals before developing your personal treatment plan to produce your best results.
Can I Combine a Facelift with Other Cosmetic Procedures?
Yes, combining a facelift with other cosmetic procedures is quite common and can enhance the overall rejuvenation effects. For example, many patients choose to have eyelid surgery or skin resurfacing treatments at the same time as their facelift to address aging signs across the entire face and neck. During your consultation, Dr. Mang will evaluate your facial structure and skin condition to recommend a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to achieve your desired outcomes while ensuring harmony and balance in your facial features.
How Long Does a Facelift Last?
The results of a facelift can last for 10 years or more, depending on the individual’s skin quality and lifestyle. Factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and genetics can influence the longevity of the surgical results.
