WHAT IS A FACELIFT?
Rhytidectomy or facelift is the 5th most common form of cosmetic surgery, according to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Rhytidectomy is a cosmetic surgery that helps to restore sagging, loose skin to promote a more youthful appearance. A facelift can be performed in different ways: a Traditional Facelift (SMAS Facelift), Deep Plane Facelift, Mini Facelift (Short Scar Facelift) and Mid Facelift. Many choose to have a facelift with a combination of an Eye Lift to reduce sagging skin on the upper eyelids, Botox to smooth out deep wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes, dermal fillers to replace fat loss in the face (generally in the cheek area), and skin rejuvenation and resurfacing techniques to even out the texture and diminish age spots and discoloration. During a personal consultation with Dr. Suárez, he will discuss if any of the above treatments are right for you.
As a top plastic surgeon in Costa Rica, Dr. Suárez, who is known for his personalized care, will perform a complete consultation, including an exam to determine your overall health, discuss your concerns, and determine if undergoing a facelift in Costa Rica is right or whether an alternative to the surgery might be the right choice for you.

TYPES OF FACELIFTS
Dr. Suárez is skilled in a wide range of facelift techniques and will choose the most appropriate approach for your unique concerns and goals. Regardless of the rejuvenation method he selects, he is focused on natural-looking outcomes that blend seamlessly with your existing features.
Choosing to get a facelift offers a boost in both appearance and self-esteem. A facelift in Costa Rica with Dr. Oscar Suárez can be performed on its own or in combination with an eyelid lift, brow lift, or neck lift for more comprehensive results. Dr. Suarez’s goal is always to make you look like yourself – only more relaxed, rejuvenated, and replenished.
TRADITIONAL FACELIFT (SMAS Facelift)
The most common type of facelift is called the traditional facelift (SMAS facelift). Best for moderate to severe sagging and ideal after major weight loss (including Ozempic face). This method lifts muscle and skin for dramatic rejuvenation in the lower face and neck.
This type of facelift yields the most dramatic results. The patient will regain a youthful appearance, tightened skin, and less wrinkles.
DEEP PLANE FACELIFT
The deep plane facelift is a procedure to lift the underlying muscle and tissue layers into a more youthful position as a single unit rather than in separate pieces. It targets midface sagging, sunken cheeks, and neck laxity.
A deep plane facelift is particularly useful for addressing issues in the mid-face, which often don’t respond to traditional facelift methods. At Dr. Suarez´s consultation he will decide if this is the right option for you.
MINI FACELIFT (SHORT SCAR FACELIFT)
An option to the traditional facelift is a mini facelift. This procedure has a shorter incision that does not continue around the entire face (many times ending at the top of the upper lip). The mini facelift, as the traditional facelift, works with drifting muscles, re sculpturing facial fat, and trimming off excess skin.
Ideal for early signs of aging, mild jowls, and jawline sagging. With smaller incisions and less downtime, it’s perfect for younger patients or those seeking subtle enhancement.
This procedure is not designed to address heavy sagging of the jowls or neckline; rather, it should be used to create smoother, more uplifted facial lines and contours.
MID FACELIFT
A mid facelift focuses on lifting the cheeks and midface area—great for addressing hollow cheeks and deep folds without extensive neck or jawline involvement. Candidates for a mid-facelift should not be experiencing significant issues of skin laxity at the jawline, jowls, or neck. A mid facelift can enhance youthfulness and vitality, giving patients a new lease on life.
OZEMPIC FACE TREATMENT OPTIONS
The term “Ozempic face”, although not a medical term, has become popular for describing the appearance of the face after weight loss – specifically rapid weight loss that happens after taking medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Trulicity®– or just from rapid weight loss in general.
The term refers to a hollowness in the cheeks or extra skin that can show up when you lose fat in your face.
To address the facial hollowness and sagging, Dr. Suarez offers:
- Dermal Fillers: Restore facial volume in cheeks, temples, and under-eyes (often used are Juvederm or Restylane).
- Fat Grafting: Transfer fat from the body to the face for a permanent, natural solution.
- Facelift Surgery: Customized to restore facial balance and youthful contours.

FACELIFT PROCEDURE OVERVIEW
A facelift typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Dr. Oscar Suárez customizes each procedure with a mix of local anesthesia or general anesthesia based on the complexity of your surgery. Incisions are made in natural skin creases, minimizing visible scarring, and no hair shaving is necessary to promote faster recovery. Dr. Suárez uses fine sutures to close the incision. After the surgery, a dressing will be applied to protect the incision site. Most patients can go home the same day.
RECOVERY AFTER FACELIFT SURGERY IN COSTA RICA
Dr. Suárez offers personalized recovery plans and has a hands-on approach throughout the healing process. While recovery time varies, most patients can return to work in about 2 weeks. Expect swelling and bruising, and follow post-op instructions carefully. Elevate your face and use ice packs to reduce swelling.
