Dr. Bader's extensive expertise in facial rejuvenation makes him a top choice for patients considering a facelift in Plano, TX. Restore your youthful appearance and age naturally and gracefully.
Reverse the Effects of Aging With a Personalized Procedure
At Bader Facial Plastics, we understand that no two faces are the same. Dr. Bader's highly customized facelift procedure works with your natural features to reverse the signs of aging and achieve a lifted youthful appearance. Whether you want to enhance your natural beauty or aesthetically prepare for the next phase in life, Dr. Bader will design a facelift surgery that fits your lifestyle, age, medical conditions, and tolerance for downtime.
Many people recall the facelifts of the past, where "pulled" and "windblown" appearances were the unfortunate hallmarks of these early techniques. Today, the modern deep plane facelift has evolved, focusing on repositioning the deeper structures of the face rather than simply tightening the skin. Dr. Bader makes age-appropriate aesthetics a priority, treating the effects of aging without altering the essence of your facial aesthetics. The result? A fresh, rejuvenated appearance devoid of any obvious intervention.

What Is A Facelift?
Even if you lead a healthy life, genetics, sun exposure, gravity, stress, and a number of other environmental factors contribute to aging. Over time, their effects will show in the form of tired, fatigued skin. Known officially as a rhytidectomy, a deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring a more youthful, revitalized contour to the face and neck. This is done by removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, and repositioning the skin to improve the appearance of the face.
While a facelift is commonly chosen to address sagging, drooping facial skin, it can also be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and hollows under the eyes.
This procedure requires the highest level of knowledge not just of facial anatomy but also of surgical techniques. Dr. Bader's double-board certifications and decades of experience working as one of Texas' top facial plastic surgeons qualify him as a specialist facelift surgeon.

Dr. Bader's Signature Facelift in Plano, Texas
During your facelift surgery, Dr. Bader tightens and lifts your underlying facial structures to create a youthful appearance with barely-there scars. While each facelift surgery at Bader Facial Plastics is ultra-personalized, your surgery will follow this typical timeline.
1
Initial Consultation
Your facial transformation begins with a one-to-one consultation where Dr. Bader will discuss your aesthetic goals, lifestyle, medical history, and any concerns you may have. This is an open place where Dr. Bader will be honest about the best approach to take and the expected results. A personal surgical plan will be made and photos of your face taken for reference.
2
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Ahead of your facelift surgery, Dr. Bader may request blood work and pre-surgery tests. Since you will undergo a general anesthetic, smoking, alcohol, and certain medications are best avoided two weeks before your facelift to minimize risks and complications.
3
Out-of-Town Patient Arrival
If you're coming to Bader Facial Plastics from outside Plano, Dr. Bader suggests arriving 1-2 days prior to your surgery to give yourself ample time to acclimate before the procedure.
4
Day Before Surgery
24 hours before your facelift surgery, you will attend a pre-surgery appointment to review instructions and address any last-minute concerns before entering the operating room.
5
Day of Surgery
Depending on the work required, surgery is expected to last between 2-3 hours. You will be placed under a general anesthetic and moved to our exquisite medical facility, catering to one patient at a time. Dr. Bader employs modern facelifting techniques aimed at re-suspending the tough connective tissue of the face and neck to a more youthful position. The incisions are hidden within the hair-bearing skin of the temple and back of the head and blend in with the natural lines around and behind the ear. This ensures a natural and durable result. When the surgery is complete, your head will be wrapped in a dressing, to be worn overnight. Once awake and in a comfortable state, you can head home accompanied by an adult friend or family member.
6
Post-Surgery Follow-Up
You will be required to visit Dr. Bader and his staff the morning after your surgery. In this initial appointment, your bandages will be removed and your wounds treated. As with any major surgery, you can expect to feel some swelling and tightness in the area. This is normal and will decrease over time. A week post-surgery your sutures are removed and you will be able to see an improvement in the bruising and swelling.
7
Travel Post Surgery
Out-of-town patients are advised by Dr. Bader to remain in Plano, Texas for at least a week post-surgery to ensure optimum results.
8
Social Readiness
While you may be sore immediately post-surgery, you can expect to be able to wear make-up again after 10 days and return to your normal routine after 2 weeks. You should expect to see the first results once the swelling has died down, about a month after the procedure.
