Facelift With Dr. David Dorfman in Huntington Beach
Two of the most vital structural proteins in the human body are collagen and elastin. They are responsible for keeping the skin tight, youthful, and radiant. When you’re younger, your body produces an abundance of both, but as you age and the skin experiences more and more damage, your elastin begins to break down, and you produce less collagen each year. The result is wrinkles and sagging skin, which can be especially problematic in the face and neck area.
Several factors are responsible for age-related skin laxity, including weight loss and gain, environmental damage, genetics, and stress. To address these issues, double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. David Dorfman may recommend a facelift. This highly customizable procedure is essential for addressing aesthetic concerns in the lower two-thirds of the face — an area that doesn’t usually respond well to non-surgical treatments. During your consultation, you’ll discuss the different components of the procedure, what to expect, and how Dr. Dorfman conducts this surgery to meet your individual goals.

What Is a Facelift?
Medically known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift is a procedure used to reposition muscle tissue and remove loose skin to address common signs of aging in the face, including:
- Prominent hollows under the eyes
- Jowls
- Loose facial skin
- Sunken areas of the face that are lacking subcutaneous fat
- Sagging cheeks
- Skin folds around the nose and corners of the mouth
A Huntington Beach facelift is ideal for patients who would like to remove up to a decade from their appearance. During your facelift consultation Dr. Dorfman, we will ensure you are in good health for surgery and discuss other options that may help you create a full facial rejuvenation. Many patients also request Botox or dermal fillers to address issues on the upper third part of the face. Eyelid surgery, brow lifts, and neck lifts are other typical procedures to combine with a facelift.
How Does Dr. Dorfman Perform Facelift Surgery?
Dr. Dorfman typically performs Huntington Beach facelifts as an outpatient procedure, with your choice of either IV sedation or general anesthesia. A facelift takes around two hours to complete. The techniques Dr. Dorfman uses will depend entirely on your facial structure, the extent of your desired corrections, and how Dr. Dorfman safely and efficiently plans to meet your expectations.
Dr. Dorfman offers two types of facelifts — traditional and limited-incision facelift. In both methods, he closes incisions with stitches or tissue glue and hides incisions where they’ll heal discreetly in the hairline and natural facial contours.
