What Patients Say
★★★★★
A few words from facelift patients of Dr. Rousso and Dr. Adams.
Dr. Daniel Rousso is a great plastic surgeon! He gave me a refreshed appearance without changing me into someone unrecognizable. My friends comment that I look great and rested but I still look like myself, just better.
Dr. Rousso is an incredible doctor who is a gifted artist when it comes to plastic surgery. After a few short weeks, I looked like I did 15 years ago.
I am very pleased with the results of my neck, cheeks, and forehead lift. Dr. Rousso and his staff certainly know what they are doing. There was no pain and my recovery was unbelievably fast.
Fabulous experience! Staff and Dr. Rousso were extremely kind and supportive before and after the procedure. Traveled from Atlanta for his expertise and it was worth it. Will never let anyone else touch my face.
I would not allow any plastic surgeon but Dr. Rousso to touch my face. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he is in tune with the patient to achieve the desired result.
Thorough, experienced, personable, top-tier surgeon and staff. You get the royal treatment even if you feel like you are a mess. They will make you feel more confident through excellent treatment.

02 Reasons as personal as your reflection
Why Patients Consider a Facelift
No two faces, and no two reasons, are alike. Whether it is the jawline, the neck, or simply looking as rested as you feel, a thoughtful facelift begins with understanding what matters most to you.
Redefine the Jawline
Re-establish a clean jawline and a crisp transition between the face and neck for a more youthful profile.
Smooth a Loose Neck
Address banding and loose skin beneath the chin, often with a neck lift, for a refreshed, elegant neckline.
Lift the Midface & Cheeks
Restore gentle lift to the cheeks and midface, where the face tends to flatten and descend over time.
Ease Deep Folds
Soften the deep folds around the nose and mouth that can make the face look tired or drawn.
Look as Rested as You Feel
Turn back the visible signs of aging so your reflection matches how energetic you feel inside.
The Craft
Surgical precision, guided by an artist's eye for balance.
03 What a thoughtfully planned facelift can offer
The Difference It Can Make
A Rested, Refreshed Look
The tired, heavy look softens, so you appear well-rested rather than overdone.
A Defined Jawline & Neck
A cleaner jawline and smoother neck restore a more youthful side profile.
Lifted Cheeks & Midface
Natural lift returns where the face has flattened or descended with age.
Natural Facial Movement
Your expressions stay your own, never tight, frozen, or pulled.
Confidence in Photos
Comfort and ease in the candid moments that used to make you self-conscious.
Long-Lasting Results
A facelift turns back the clock for years, and you age naturally from there.
04 A deeper lift, a more natural result
Deep Plane Facelift
A deep plane facelift repositions the deeper layer of facial tissue, rather than simply tightening skin. That distinction is what separates a refreshed, natural lift from the tight, pulled look people most fear.
Dr. Rousso and Dr. Adams release and elevate the underlying support of the face as a unit, restoring the cheeks, jawline, and neck in their natural direction. The result tends to look softer, last longer, and keep your expressions entirely your own.

07 The questions worth asking before you decide
Common Patient Concerns
It's natural to have hesitations. Here are honest answers to what patients tell us they think about most.
Will I still look like myself?
That is the goal. Our approach lifts and repositions tissue for a refreshed version of you, never a tight, pulled, or windswept look, so people see you looking rested rather than operated on.
How much downtime is needed?
Most patients take about two weeks before returning to social activities. Bruising and swelling resolve gradually, with the result continuing to refine over the following months.
Where will my scars be?
Facelift incisions are placed discreetly around the ears and within the hairline, where they are designed to settle and heal as inconspicuously as possible.
How long do facelift results last?
A facelift sets the clock back, and results commonly last around a decade. You continue to age naturally, but always from a more youthful starting point.
Am I the right age for a facelift?
There is no single right age. The best time depends on your degree of facial aging and your goals, which we review honestly with you at your consultation.
