Los Angeles Facelift

If you are interested in surgical facial rejuvenation, Pasadena / Los Angeles facelift surgeon Gloria de Olarte, M.D. can help you reach your aesthetic goals. Dr. de Olarte is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and has accumulated over two decades of experience in cosmetic surgery. She has been chief of plastic surgery at several local hospitals in addition to having more than 20 years of experience.

She is also a member of numerous professional organizations, including the:

  • American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
  • American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
  • California Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS)
  • Los Angeles Society of Plastic Surgeons (LASPS)

Facelift surgery (“rhytidectomy”) is a procedure that can reduce the visible signs of aging. In a sense, it can “set back the clock” by increasing the youthfulness of your appearance. Both the facelift and mini facelift can be performed under sedation if that patient’s medical health is good. Dr. de Olarte performs rhytidectomy on men and women who seek a natural and refreshed appeal, while utilizing her skills that allow her to avoid producing a “plastic” or unnatural, too-tight look.

A full facelift is performed by:

  • Tightening underlying muscles for a longer-lasting result
  • Redraping skin on the face and neck

Our Pasadena / Los Angeles female plastic surgeon, Dr. de Olarte, understands that cosmetic surgery is not only related to physical improvement, but the development of self-image as well. This is why she also offers the mini facelift as an option for a youthful look. She commonly performs this procedure on younger patients, as it focuses on tightening the cheek area and the upper half of the face. A full facelift, on the other hand, focuses on the entire face and may be recommended for patients with wrinkles on their neck. Dr. de Olarte will help to determine which method is right for you, while taking several factors, such as your quality of skin, age, and extent of sun damage, into consideration.

Many of her patients opt to combine facelift surgery with additional procedures, such as eyelid surgery (“blepharoplasty”). At her practice in Los Angeles, breast augmentation, and rhinoplasty are also procedures that can possibly be performed in conjunction with facelift surgery.

To see the type of results that can be achieved by Dr. de Olarte, please view before and after plastic surgery photos of our past facelift patients. We also ask that you take a moment to read patient testimonials.

In order to be fully informed on the details of facelift surgery, as well as to discuss your specific facial rejuvenation needs, you may wish to schedule a complimentary consultation at the office of Dr. de Olarte. She will be glad to spend time speaking with you regarding your personal aesthetic enhancement options at her practice.
