About Carlsbad, CA

Carlsbad, known as the “Village by the Sea,” is a thriving coastal city nestled along the Pacific shoreline of northern San Diego County. Founded in the late 19th century following the discovery of mineral springs reminiscent of the famed German spa town of Karlsbad, the city quickly became renowned as both a health retreat and a hub for agricultural production. Today, Carlsbad is home to more than 115,000 residents and is celebrated for its pristine beaches, diverse shopping and dining in Carlsbad Village, and family-friendly attractions such as LEGOLAND California Resort and the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. Residents also enjoy abundant recreational opportunities in parks and nature reserves, making Carlsbad an active, welcoming community for both visitors and locals.

What is Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, is designed to address visible signs of aging in the mid-face, lower face, and neck. Dr. Yco specializes in several advanced facelift techniques, the most popular being the standard facelift or full facelift and DEEP plane facelift. A standard or traditional facelift focuses on wrinkles and sagging skin in the mid-face and lower face. The underlying facial tissues and facial muscles will be sculpted and pulled back to create smoother skin with a more lifted appearance. Excess skin will be carefully trimmed away to create a smooth contour without an overly tight appearance. The DEEP plane technique accesses the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) and deeper tissues to address all areas of the face and improve significant amounts of skin sagging. Dr. Yco may also recommend a mini facelift procedure, designed for early signs of aging, or the mid-face lift, which focuses on volume loss and wrinkles in the cheeks. 

Surgical facelift procedures can significantly improve the appearance of sagging skin, deep nasolabial folds, facial wrinkles, jowls, and loose skin under the chin, delivering rejuvenation that remains true to the individual’s natural facial contours. This procedure can also be combined with a neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), or fat grafting for more dramatic rejuvenation.

Who is a Candidate for a Facelift?

Good facelift candidates are adults who wish to improve moderate to advanced signs of facial aging. Most patients who want to address signs of aging can benefit, but an initial consultation is necessary to ensure a facelift is right for you. During this consultation with expert plastic surgeon Dr. Yco, he will examine your facial anatomy and discuss your concerns to ensure that your chosen facelift procedure aligns with your anatomy, medical history, and personal goals.
