Cosmetic Surgery
As we age, the skin on our face begins to lose its elasticity, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and a more tired appearance. For many people, these changes can be frustrating and affect their confidence. At Refine, MD Northwest, located in Bellevue and Kirkland, Washington, we offer facelift surgery to rejuvenate the face, restore a youthful appearance, and improve self-esteem.
Dr. Bryan C. McIntosh, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is known for his expertise in facial procedures, including facelifts. Whether you are looking to address signs of aging or enhance your natural features, our team is committed to providing you with high-quality care and beautiful, natural-looking results.
What Is Facelift Surgery?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging on the face. The surgery tightens loose skin, smooths out wrinkles, and improves the overall tone and contour of the face. The procedure focuses on the lower two-thirds of the face, particularly the jowls and neck area, which can show significant signs of sagging over time.
In some cases, a liquid facelift (using injectables like dermal fillers) may also be an option to restore volume and contour without the need for surgery.

What to Expect with Facelift Surgery
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. McIntosh, where you’ll discuss your goals and expectations. He will assess your facial features and determine whether facelift surgery is the right solution for you. Dr. McIntosh will explain all available options, including non-surgical alternatives, and guide you in choosing the best approach to achieve your desired results.
Surgical Steps
Facelift surgery typically takes several hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Dr. McIntosh makes strategic incisions along natural facial lines, usually behind the ears, to ensure minimal scarring. The skin is then lifted and tightened, and any excess skin is removed to create a smoother, firmer appearance. In some cases, fat may be repositioned or redistributed to restore volume.
Post-Operative Care
After your facelift surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery area before being discharged. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these effects typically subside within the first few weeks. Dr. McIntosh will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your incisions, manage pain, and ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks, although it may take up to several months for the final results to fully appear.
