In 2026, facial tightening, laser treatments, injectables, and seemingly every skincare product in the market is positioned to “fix” any concern you could possibly have about your face. A number of options can seem overwhelming and the cost adds up, with no guarantee of results. So how do you know what is worth the cost and how do you know what procedure is right for you? For patients seeking a facelift or some sort of facial tightening, it’s important to know the different types of facelifts available and their benefits.
About Facelift Surgery
The human face is anchored by a fibrous structure that can stretch or weaken over time, which is why the entire facial structure begins to droop. As a surgeon practicing in Dallas, Dr. Randy Sanovich sees the effects of this aging every day.
Different types of facelifts are available at our Dallas cosmetic practice to address a wide range of concerns and varying stages of the aging process. Some of the most common facelifts we discuss with our patients are deep plane and mini facelifts.
Deep Plane / SMAS Facelift
For patients looking to correct more progressive signs of aging like sagging skin, or deep lines and wrinkles, then a SMAS or deep plane facelift may be right for you. This facelift is great for lifting and tightening the lower face and neck where patients may notice this extensive jowling or deep smile lines!
Mini Facelift
For patients with less severe jowling or skin laxity, a mini facelift can be beneficial because it allows Dr. Sanovich to lift your face without looking pulled or having large incisions.
Non-Surgical Options
9D facelifts use HIFU, or high-intensity focused ultrasound to tighten and lift the skin through deep collagen stimulation. This is an alternative option for patients who prefer not to have surgery or any incisions. At Dallas Surgical Arts, we offer similar, non-surgical treatment options and lasers for neck laxity and loose skin. Some of our most popular non-surgical options are Potenza, MyEllevate, and ReSurFX. These treatments use light, laser, or radio frequency microneedling to tighten and lift your skin.
