About Del Mar, CA

What is a Facelift?

A facelift (rhytidectomy) targets visible signs of aging in the mid and lower face, including sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and volume loss. Dr. Yco provides a variety of facelift techniques, with the standard facelift and DEEP plane facelift being our most popular. These procedures typically involve lifting and repositioning both the skin and underlying muscles and facial tissues to restore youthful contours while preserving natural facial expressions and preventing an overdone look. Patients with volume loss in the cheeks can benefit from the specialized mid-facelift, while patients with early signs of aging and skin laxity on the lower face can benefit from a mini facelift.

Facelifts are often combined with a neck lift to address “turkey neck” or sagging skin below the chin, a brow lift to smooth forehead lines, or eyelid surgery to refresh tired-looking eyes. Each surgical procedure is customized to provide dramatic transformation tailored to each patient’s needs.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS: THE IMPACT OF YCO

“Dr. Yco has become my sole and trusted surgeon ”

I first started seeing Dr Yco almost 4 years ago and was immediately impressed by his vast knowledge of all things faces. He has become my sole and trusted surgeon (including all fillers/botox). You won’t find anyone who will spend as much time understanding your needs and addressing your concerns. If I could give him and his staff more than 5 stars, I would!
