Facelift in Fredericksburg, VA
What Is a Facelift?
Plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki provide a full spectrum of facial cosmetic surgeries in Fredericksburg, VA. A facelift is one of our most sought-after procedures at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg. This treatment concentrates on specific areas of the face to reduce drooping features and wrinkles to obtain a refreshed, firmer appearance. Based upon your unique concerns, a facelift can focus on the areas around the eyes, the mid-face area and cheeks, the bottom portion including the jowls, mouth, neck, and more for an all-encompassing youthful look. The facelift technique used depends on your desired outcome, skin condition, degree of skin laxity, age, lifestyle, and other factors. Some individuals want a full facelift while others may only be ready for a mid-facelift. Drs. Heppe, Bautista, and Aflaki are skilled surgeons who thoroughly understand the complex anatomy of facelift surgery. The overall goal is to create a natural appearance that's soft and beautiful.
How Is a Facelift Performed?
Regardless of your aesthetic concerns, there are numerous facelifts to consider. Some facelifts rejuvenate the upper portion of the face while others focus on the lower two-thirds. In addition, some techniques are slightly more invasive than others. It's very common for some individuals to have a brow lift or fillers and BOTOX® to complement their results. A few of the more common facelift methods include:
- Full Facelift
Considered the gold standard, the full facelift usually uses an incision near the hairline, extending down to the temple region and reaching the base of the ears. The underlying facial muscles are carefully pulled and tightened to produce a lifted outcome, which reduces excessive lines and wrinkles. The traditional facelift is reserved for patients who have signs of advanced aging. With this lift, several facial rejuvenation methods may be combined, including upper or lower blepharoplasty to enhance the eyes or neck reduction for the lower region. - Mini Facelift
When undergoing a mini facelift, a tiny incision is made near the ears to elevate the skin, which helps the mouth and jawline. This process creates nice and subtle enhancements that look natural. - Mid-Facelift
Incorporating a similar technique to the mini facelift, the mid-facelift (cheeks) addresses the hollow and lax areas around the cheekbones and the upper jaw. This lift works well for those who desire enhancement in the lower two-thirds of the face and improves the look of the jowls. - Lower Facelift
This particular facelift addresses the neck region, chin, and in many cases, the jowls. Methods of a nonsurgical nature, such as laser skin tightening or KYBELLA®, can also be used for chin reduction to attain a younger-looking neck.

Dr. Aflaki & team are amazing! Mommy makeover after losing 80lbs - After losing 80lbs in less than a year, I was left with loose skin and saggy breasts. I got a consult with Dr. Aflaki. He was empathetic, a great listener, knowledgeable and very helpful. Great experience!
On August 21st I under went surgery, tummy tuck and lipo 360… I did a lot of research and decided to go with Dr. Aflaki, I followed him on social media and looked out for reviews from other patients of his, for about 6 months before deciding to go forward. I was always amazed at his work and I am very happy I chose him…Dr. Aflaki was very professional, he went over so much with me that I never felt in the dark. I went into surgery very confidently having him as my Dr. He is also pleasant to be around, check ups always went very smooth, always felt comfortable and take care of. His staff was also wonderful to me and made sure my caretaker knew everything he needed to know to care for me after surgery. I am overall very happy with the outcome! My results are amazing! My pre-surgery video was taken Aug 21st, the morning of surgery. My post-surgery photo was taken 2 months and 2 weeks. I feel great, physically and mentally!! Thank you so much Dr. Aflaki and his team at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg!
When researching doctors for my rhinoplasty. I visited with a couple of different plastic surgeons that specialize in rhinoplasties but Dr. Aflaki was the obvious choice from the first consult. He took his time explaining everything and removing all doubts about the procedure which made me feel incredibly relieved and more confident to move forward. I ended up having a rhinoplasty and the procedure itself was so much easier than I could have imagined. Recovery was a breeze and painless. which was surprising. I closely followed instructions from Dr.Aflaki everything went really smoothly. I was already feeling like myself after a few days. I’m just over 2 months post-op and am incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Aflaki is an amazing Dr. The changes to my appearance are exactly what I wanted and what we discussed during the consult. I been checking with him for two moths I can I sure you you are in good hands If choose you Dr. Aflaki!
Dr. Bautista is the Only One I Trust. - Dr. Bautista did my breast augmentation surgery in 2005, and I was extremely pleased with the results. I decided to go back to him in 2024 to have my breasts redone, since they were almost 20 years old. I had no issues with them, but I wanted to go a little bigger and Dr. Bautista is the only one I trust to do the surgery. In fact, I even followed up my breast surgery with cool sculpting and am very pleased with the those results as well. He and his staff are extremely professional and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him for any cosmetic needs you may have.

Facelift FAQ
How much does a facelift cost?
The total cost of your facelift will depend on the technique used for your surgery. During your consultation, our providers will create a unique treatment plan based on your needs and goals. After this, we’ll discuss the estimated price of your procedure. For natural-looking results, it’s better to concentrate on finding a skilled surgeon who will work with you on your goals instead of choosing the cheapest provider. Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg 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 technique for you will depend on your needs, goals, level of skin laxity, what areas are being addressed, and other factors. Our surgeons will explain the different surgical techniques in your consultation. We will then help you decide which technique is best.
Should I get a surgical or nonsurgical facelift?
Although there are many great noninvasive skin tightening treatments, these can usually only produce mild improvements. For moderate to severe skin sagging, facelift surgery is the best choice to improve your appearance. In your consultation, we will discuss your options, including nonsurgical treatments, to help you choose what is best for your needs and goals.
What about wrinkle fillers and relaxers over facelift surgery?
Injectable wrinkle fillers and relaxers have become very popular in recent years to improve fine lines and wrinkles. Sometimes known as a liquid facelift, injectable wrinkle treatments are good for early signs of aging, but the results won't last more than 1 – 2 years. A facelift can produce more significant improvements than injectables with long-lasting results. Ask our team about injectable treatments in your consultation.
Will my results look natural?
Many patients worry that a facelift will make their skin look too tight, shiny, or like they live in a wind tunnel. Our surgeons focus on giving you a natural-looking result, so you look refreshed, not fake. We listen to your needs and goals before creating your personal treatment plan to produce your best results.
