How Dr. Scarpidis Does It Differently
With an ability to produce a refined and natural appearance for his patients, few surgeons are more qualified than Dr. Scarpidis to rejuvenate your face and rediscover your youthful look. One of the reasons his results are so exquisite is because he aims to rebuild the foundation of the facial structure during surgery.
Dr. Scarpidis carefully tightens the muscles and underlying tissue, while permanently repositioning them to a more youthful location. By addressing these foundational signs of aging – in addition to the surface wrinkles, deep folds, and loose skin – Dr. Scarpidis can easily take 10 years off your appearance, allowing you to progress through the aging process as gracefully as possible.
Are You a Candidate for a Facelift?
The Facelift Procedure
- Traditional Full Facelift – The entire face is rejuvenated to address advanced aging.
- Mini or Mid Facelift – Younger patients interested in correcting the earliest signs of aging can choose this preventative procedure.
- Lower Facelift – Address signs of aging around your mouth, neck, and jaw.
No matter which facelift technique is selected, your procedure at Scarpidis Aesthetics will be performed with your safety, comfort, and results in mind. Under the anesthesia of your choosing, Dr. Ulysses H. Scarpidis will create discreet, carefully placed incisions to access the underlying structures of your face.
He will then tighten the supporting muscles, refine fat deposits, and gently lift and reposition the skin to restore youthful, harmonious contours. Every step is taken with precision to ensure a smooth, natural outcome and minimal, well-concealed scarring once healing is complete.
Facelift Recovery
Throughout your recovery, it’s crucial to avoid smoking, excessive sun exposure, and any activities that could strain the face. Most patients can return to light daily activities within a week, though complete recovery typically takes several months. Dr. Scarpidis will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure you’re healing properly, allowing you to confidently enjoy your rejuvenated appearance.
Benefits of Facelift Surgery

Facelift FAQs
How long do facelift results typically last?
Most patients enjoy the effects of a facelift for 10-15 years, though individual results may vary based on factors like genetics, lifestyle, and skin quality. While the natural aging process continues, you will always look younger than you would have without the procedure.
Will I look like myself after a facelift?
Dr. Scarpidis’s conservative and artistic approach ensures that you will look like a refreshed, younger version of yourself rather than appearing “overdone” or unnatural. The goal is to enhance your natural features and restore youthful contours while maintaining your unique facial characteristics.
Can men get facelift surgery?
Absolutely, facelift surgery is increasingly popular among men who want to maintain a youthful, competitive appearance in both professional and personal settings. The surgical approach is tailored to preserve masculine features while addressing sagging skin and deep facial folds.
How should I prepare for facelift surgery?
You’ll need to stop smoking several weeks before surgery, avoid certain medications and supplements that increase bleeding risk, and arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you initially. Dr. Scarpidis will provide comprehensive pre-operative instructions during your consultation to ensure you’re fully prepared.
Will a facelift affect my facial expressions?
When performed correctly by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Scarpidis, a facelift should not negatively impact your ability to make natural facial expressions. The goal is to restore youthful contours while preserving your natural range of motion and expressiveness.
How soon can I wear makeup after a facelift?
It is usually recommended to wait at least one to two weeks before applying makeup to the treated areas, ensuring the incisions have adequately healed. You’ll receive specific guidance based on your individual healing progress at your follow-up appointments.
Can weight changes affect my facelift results?
Significant weight fluctuations after a facelift can impact your results by stretching the skin and altering facial contours. Maintaining a stable weight before and after surgery helps ensure long-lasting, optimal outcomes.
