Facelift in Wilmington, NC

A deep plane facelift in Wilmington, NC, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face and neck by tightening underlying muscles and removing excess skin.

This procedure primarily targets signs of aging, such as drooping jowls, deep nasolabial folds, and volume loss in the cheeks and lips. 

At Amelia Aesthetics, skilled plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Azzolini performs facelifts tailored to your unique needs and goals for natural-looking results.

The goal of a facelift is not to turn back the clock entirely but to restore a refreshed and youthful appearance, helping you look your best in your 40s and beyond. 

At Amelia Aesthetics in Wilmington, Dr. Azzolini includes a neck lift in the facelift cost, as needed, for a comprehensive and natural result.

Recovery typically involves a downtime of 10-14 days, during which you'll receive comprehensive support from our clinical team, including a dedicated Patient Care Coordinator to guide you through every step of your journey. 

Many patients begin to see noticeable improvements within 6-8 weeks post-surgery, with full results developing up to a year.
