Certified in both facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and head and neck surgery, Dr. Raval focuses his practice exclusively on facial procedures, including complex revision facelifts. Patients in Denver and Cherry Creek, Colorado, who are seeking the best facelift surgeon choose Dr. Raval for natural-looking rejuvenation.
A facelift and neck lift are facial plastic surgery procedures designed to lift sagging facial tissues, refine the jawline, and tighten loose skin in the neck.
These cosmetic procedures improve concerns such as:
Every procedure at Raval Facial Aesthetics begins with a detailed facial evaluation by Dr. Raval to ensure surgical refinements enhance overall facial harmony.
A facelift and neck lift are often combined because aging affects the lower face and neck simultaneously. Treating both areas together creates more balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation. Addressing only the face or only the neck can leave visible signs of aging in the untreated area.
This combined approach helps create a defined jawline and a smoother, more youthful profile—from every angle.
Dr. Raval customizes facelift techniques to address different patterns of facial aging and aesthetic goals. His approach is never one-size-fits-all.
A mini facelift focuses on early signs of aging in the lower face using smaller incisions and less extensive tissue repositioning. Recovery is typically shorter than with a traditional facelift, but results are less dramatic.
A traditional facelift with neck lift repositions tissues to restore youthful facial contours in the lower face and neck. It addresses the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), the fibromuscular layer beneath the skin that supports facial structure.
A deep plane facelift lifts the deeper structural layers of the face, including muscles and ligaments. It delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results by addressing the root causes of facial aging rather than simply tightening the skin.
| Procedure | Best For | What It Treats | Surgical Approach | Typical Downtime |
| Mini Facelift | Early signs of aging | Mild jowling, early skin laxity in the lower face | Less extensive lift with smaller incisions and limited tissue repositioning | Often 1–2 weeks |
| Facelift & Neck Lift | Moderate to advanced facial aging | Jowls, sagging cheeks, loose neck skin, neck bands, loss of jawline definition | Repositions deeper facial tissues, tightens neck muscles, removes excess skin to refine the jawline and neck | About 2 weeks for most social activities |
| Deep Plane Facelift | More advanced facial aging that requires comprehensive rejuvenation | Sagging cheeks, deep folds, jowls, and neck laxity | Lifts deeper facial layers, including muscles and ligaments, to reposition tissues more completely | About 2–3 weeks (swelling subsides gradually) |
