What Is A Facelift?
At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL, we offer a full range of facial cosmetic surgeries, including facelifts. Facelifts tighten loose skin and smooth wrinkles for a youthful appearance. Depending on your needs, a facelift can target the eyes, cheeks, mid-face, or lower face, including the jowls, mouth, and neck. The approach varies based on desired outcomes, skin condition, laxity, lifestyle, age, and anatomy. Our experienced surgeons aim to provide a natural, soft, and attractive look tailored to each patient.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
Facelifts vary to address different areas and concerns of the face, rejuvenating the upper, middle, or lower portions based on individual needs. Techniques range from minimally invasive to more comprehensive procedures, often complemented by eyelid lifts, brow lifts, or injectables like fillers and BOTOX®. The skin-tightening technology of Renuvion may also be incorporated into your facelift.
The full facelift, considered the gold standard, involves incisions near the hairline extending around the ears to lift the face and neck to soften lines and wrinkles often seen with advanced aging.
A mid-facelift targets sagging around the cheekbones and upper jaw, while a lower facelift addresses the neck, chin, and jowls with options for nonsurgical enhancements, like laser skin tightening.
The mini facelift involves small incisions around the ears to lift the skin around the mouth and jawline, providing subtle, natural-looking enhancements.

Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery Reviews
I'm 3 days post-op on a lower face lift with lipo of the neck. If you research Day 3 of any procedure you know that and day 4 are the worst. If I can write a 5 star review on the worst day, it says a lot. Dr Butler and his staff are the epitome of professional, comforting, caring...I could go on and on but instead I'll say if you're thinking about a procedure, do it and do it with this guy. He's the best!!! I love my results already!
Best surgeon!! Dr. Peter Butler is a compassionate, caring, very detailed in his work, and absolutely went the extra mile to achieve the best results for me. In no way did I feel rushed or unable to ask a question. Dr. Butler is very personable and created a wonderful Dr/patient relationship that was confidence building. His nursing and office staff was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Dr. Butler’s staff always made me feel liked a valued client. I am currently six weeks out from my facelift surgery and thrilled with the results. Dr. Butler is the best you will find and I will be back.

Amazing Results! - Dr. Butler is the best! I had a mini face lift done and it turned out so good. Very pleased with the results.Dr. Butler is down to earth and talks with his patients so they fully understand and feel comfortable with him.Would highly recommend Dr. Butler!
The BEST! Dr Butler & Staff - Wonderful! Dr. Butler and his friendly staff are the BEST! I had a face lift several years ago here, and more recently a lower eye lift and a Surgisil lip implant for aging lips...no problems. (Actually, I did not even have any pain after either procedure, however, that certainly may not be the case for everyone.)Dr. Butler is very precise and specific about all aspects of a procedure: pre-op instructions and post-op instructions. His staff knows what to do and they are like a well-oiled machine together. He take pride in what he does, and rightly so.I am not two weeks out from my second procedure, but I can see already I am very happy with the results. Thank you, Dr. Butler and staff!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a facelift cost?
The cost of a facelift varies depending on the technique used and other factors. During your consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be created to suit your needs and goals, and cost estimates will be provided. When considering a facelift, prioritize finding a skilled and experienced surgeon rather than focusing solely on price. Additionally, many clinics offer low-interest financing options to make the procedure more affordable.
Which technique is best for me?
Your ideal facelift technique will depend on your specific goals, degree of skin laxity, and the areas being treated. During your consultation, various surgical options will be explained, and a tailored recommendation will be made to help achieve your desired results.
Should I get a surgical or nonsurgical facelift?
While nonsurgical skin-tightening treatments can provide mild improvements, they are not as effective for moderate to severe skin sagging. Facelift surgery remains the best option for achieving significant and long-lasting results. During your consultation, you'll discuss the available options, including nonsurgical treatments, to determine the best choice for your needs and goals.
What about wrinkle fillers and relaxers over facelift surgery?
Injectable wrinkle treatments like BOTOX and Juvéderm are popular for refreshing the face and addressing early signs of aging. These nonsurgical treatments provide temporary results lasting 1 – 2 years. A surgical facelift is a better choice for more dramatic and long-lasting improvements. Injectable treatments can also be discussed during your consultation to explore all available options.
Will my results look natural?
A common concern with facelift surgery is the fear of looking overly tight or unnatural. A skilled surgeon will focus on delivering natural-looking results that leave you looking refreshed rather than overdone. By understanding your concerns and goals, a customized treatment plan can be developed to achieve your best outcome.
