How a Face Lift Can Reveal a Youthful You

A facelift is about more than smoothing wrinkles—it restores youthful contours, refines definition, and enhances facial harmony. By addressing sagging skin, volume loss, jowling, deep folds and softening jawline definition, this procedure refreshes your features while preserving your natural expressions.

At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plant and his team customize each facelift with advanced techniques, including:

MACS/Mini Facelift – Lifts and repositions the jowls and contours the jawline with small incisions and minimal dissection, giving natural-looking results in a safe and minimally invasive way. This is the procedure of choice for patients with early signs of facial aging, typically in their 40s and early 50s.
SMAS Facelift – Elevates the deeper tissues of the face that have descended with time. Tightens underlying facial structures, corrects deep lines, repositions the jowls and removes excess skin for a smoother, more lifted appearance.
Fat Transfer & Volume Restoration – Restores fullness to the cheeks and temples for a softer, youthful look.
Hidden, Minimal-Scar Techniques – Ensures small, discreet incisions placed within and behind the ears.

By blending surgical precision with an artistic approach, Dr. Plant ensures results that are subtle, long-lasting, and uniquely tailored to your face—so you look refreshed, never overdone.

  My experience with Dr. Plant and his staff has been outstanding from start to finish. I attended three consultations before choosing a surgeon, and although Dr. Plant was the only one who required a consultation fee, it was well worth it. From the moment I entered the office, I felt comfortable and confident in my decision.

The staff are welcoming and friendly—never intimidating, which is rare in a plastic surgery practice. Dr. Plant stood out by offering a surgical approach that minimized scarring and downtime, something no other surgeon proposed. Having spent my career in the medical field working closely with specialist physicians, I found Dr. Plant to be exceptionally personable, attentive, and thorough. He listened carefully, answered all my questions, and addressed considerations I hadn’t even thought of.

I am now six weeks post-op and extremely pleased with my results. I highly recommend Dr. Plant and his practice for any type of surgery.

  Starting from the consultation, Dr. Plant exceeded all of my expectations. He truly listened to my concerns and made me feel heard, respected, and completely at ease. I felt supported and informed every step of the way.

On the day of the procedure, the experience was both professional and personal. I wasn’t scared at all!  Dr. Plant and his incredible staff created such a calming environment. Everyone was so kind, supportive, and attentive, and I felt completely taken care of from the moment I arrived.

I’m 3 weeks into recovery, and everything has gone so smoothly. I’m absolutely thrilled with the results already! I know making a decision like this can be intimidating, but Dr. Plant helped me feel confident, comfortable, and completely safe in my choice.

This experience has been life changing!

  I was truly amazed by Dr. Matthew Plant. He is the first doctor who actually gave me a real diagnosis . I’ve struggled with this issue my entire life, and despite undergoing multiple surgeries, no one had ever truly identified the root cause — until now.

This was my third surgery, and Dr. Plant was able to correct something that others couldn’t. Not only is he a highly skilled and talented surgeon, but he is also a genuinely compassionate human being. He took the time to listen to me, to answer all my questions, and more importantly, he made me feel seen and understood. I had carried a lot of shame and felt "broken," but he reframed my situation — he treated me like an interesting challenge, and that changed everything for me.

The experience as a whole was exceptional — from the elegance of his beautiful Toronto office to the warmth and professionalism of his team. Marianne, Daniela, and Alex were outstanding — always available, day or night. We even booked the surgery on a Saturday afternoon, and I had questions on a Sunday night that were answered without hesitation. They were consistently kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Plant and his incredible team. Even in a vulnerable and difficult situation, they manage to make you feel like you truly matter. That kind of care is rare — and deeply appreciated.

  After waiting over 20 years for this kind of surgery (TT,Lipo, MR) I finally chose Dr. Mathew Plant — and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Not only is his work meticulous, but what impressed me the most is that Dr. Plant is even more particular and detail-oriented than any patient could hope for. His high standards gave me so much confidence, and it truly shows in my results.

He may not say much, but his work speaks louder than words. His entire team — from the kind and supportive nurses to the office staff who are always quick to respond — made the whole experience even more comforting. They treat patients like family, and I felt cared for every step of the way.

Thank you, Dr. Plant, for your perfectionism, your quiet confidence, and for delivering results beyond what I ever imagined.

  Best Surgery I’ve Ever Had!
My experience with Dr Plant was amazing, absolutely Night and Day different versus my previous surgical experience. I cannot even begin to explain how satisfied I am with my results! I had been telling Dr Plant that my scar and muscles on my left side from my previous surgery had left me with discomfort and ww discussed every issue in detail, and he addressed them with different techniques/parts of his procedure to support my implant; now my breasts are perfect! I couldn’t be happier! Cannot wait to see him again for any work.

  My experience was overall amazing here.

Prior to finding Dr. Plant, I did 5 other consults with plastic surgeons. None of my friends had used him, so I truly went with him based on instinct and a good vibe. I am a very, very anxious and neurotic person, and I really don't think I could have picked a better surgeon.

Why I picked him: I lost about 75lbs, and my chest looked horrific. Super thin crepey skin, very deflated, rocks-in-socks, sort of aesthetic. I went from a G cup to a small B.  For me, I was drawn to someone who had lots of experience in "mommy makeover" surgeries. I don't have children, but my chest looked like I breastfed a litter of them. I figured if he is comfortable working on difficult post-baby bodies, that mine would be similar to work on.

I am fairly scrawny, about 100 lbs on a 5'5 frame. I went into my consult with no set size in mind, but I did have a general description. I'm pretty sure I described it as "adult actress shape, but not so big that I need custom bras." I knew I would likely need a lift and the internal bra (galaflex), based on recommendations from prior consults. He agreed with this, but took the time to explain exactly why I needed them, instead of blindly telling me it was a necessity. He helped me pick a size that perfectly matched my goals. I never felt pressured to choose a certain size or shape. He had me try on similar sizes multiple times to compare subtle differences. My pre-op consult was insanely thorough. He's super easy to talk to and interact with. The staff are phenomenal and so so easy to talk to and engage with.

My surgery was totally unremarkable, in the best way possible. No issues, all went smoothly, amazing staff follow up. I got a super minor infection from reacting to the dissolvable sutures, and the practice handled it immediately. It healed flawlessly with no scar. The scars from the surgery itself are impeccable.

While I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Plant, it was honestly his staff that sold me on the practice, specifically Daniella. Every staff that I interacted with was amazing, but it was her who I was in the most communication with. She was the deciding factor in me getting the surgery, because she is truly that good at her job.

Thank you guys, I appreciate y'all so much!

  I am so glad I came to Dr. Plant. Not only were the staff friendly, every step was explained clearly and patiently with no pressure. He takes every safety precaution. My results were wonderful, I'm so happy. I cannot recommend him enough as a surgeon.

Facelift Surgery: Your Questions, Answered

View All

What is a facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin, smooth deep wrinkles, and restore a more youthful facial contour. This surgery addresses age-related changes in the lower face and neck, such as loose skin, jowls, and loss of definition in the jawline.

Dr. Plant customizes each facelift to enhance natural features while maintaining a refreshed, not overdone, appearance. The goal is to create a youthful, well-rested look that complements your natural facial structure.

How do I schedule a facelift consultation with Dr. Plant?

Scheduling a facelift surgery consultation is quick and easy. You can call our Toronto office at 416.907.4704 or fill out our online consultation form to get started.

Dr. Plant offers multiple consultation options to fit your needs, including in-person consultations at our Toronto office in Lawrence Park and for our out of town patients from all over Canada and the United States we offer virtual consultations for added convenience. During your one-on-one consultation, he will take the time to answer your questions, assess your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your body and desired results.

Our team is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience from your first call to your final results.

Can I combine a facelift with other procedures?

Yes, a facelift can be combined with other procedures for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Many patients choose to pair a facelift with eyelid surgery, a brow lift, or fat transfer to enhance volume and refresh the entire face.

Dr. Plant customizes each surgical plan based on individual goals, ensuring safe, natural-looking results. During your consultation, he will assess your needs and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired outcome.

How much does a facelift cost in Toronto?

The cost of facelift surgery varies based on the extent of correction, surgical complexity, and individual patient goals. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will provide a detailed estimate after assessing your facial anatomy, skin condition, and desired outcome.

While cost is a consideration, choosing an experienced and skilled surgeon ensures the quality, safety, and longevity of your results.

Will my facelift look unnatural?

A common concern among patients is whether a facelift will leave them looking overly tight or unnatural. Dr. Plant takes a conservative, customized approach, focusing on lifting and repositioning tissues rather than over-tightening the skin.

As swelling subsides, the face settles into a natural, youthful shape, enhancing definition and smoothness without looking artificial. Most patients find that their results look refreshed and subtle, not drastically different.

Are there risks associated with a facelift?

A facelift is a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Plant. However, as with any surgery, potential risks include temporary swelling, minor asymmetry, numbness, or changes in skin sensation.

Dr. Plant prioritizes patient safety and precision, using the most advanced surgical techniques to minimize risks and ensure optimal healing. During your consultation, he will discuss any potential concerns and how they are managed, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.

Are the results of a facelift permanent?

Facelift results are long-lasting, with most patients enjoying a more youthful appearance for 10 to 15 years. However, natural aging continues, and some patients may choose to undergo non-surgical maintenance treatments over time.

Dr. Plant uses advanced techniques to ensure facelift results remain natural and enduring, helping patients look refreshed for years to come.

How long is the recovery period after a facelift?

Most patients return to light activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery taking about four to six weeks. Some swelling and bruising are normal in the early stages but gradually subside. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure until fully healed.

At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plant and his team provide comprehensive aftercare support to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery. This includes personalized guidance, detailed recovery protocols, and follow-up care to promote optimal healing and long-lasting results. From the moment your procedure is complete, you’ll have access to expert advice and hands-on support, so you can heal with confidence.

How soon will I see results from a facelift?

Results are noticeable immediately after surgery, but swelling and bruising will temporarily affect the final outcome. Over the next four to six weeks, swelling decreases, and the final shape of the face and jawline becomes more refined.

Dr. Plant provides detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery and ensure optimal long-term results.

What results can I expect from a facelift?

A facelift creates a firmer, more lifted appearance in the lower face and neck, restoring youthful contours while maintaining a natural, expressive look. Patients often see a smoother jawline, reduced sagging skin, and improved facial definition.

Dr. Plant ensures that facelift results appear refreshed, not overly tight or pulled, so patients look like themselves, just younger and well-rested.

How long does a facelift procedure take?

A facelift typically takes three to four hours, depending on the extent of correction needed. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, and most patients return home the same day.

Dr. Plant uses advanced techniques to lift and reposition facial tissues while minimizing visible scarring, ensuring long-lasting and natural-looking results.

Am I a good candidate for a facelift?

You may be a good candidate for a facelift if you have visible signs of facial aging, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, loss of volume, or jowls. This procedure is often chosen by patients who experience loose, sagging skin around the lower face and neck, deep creases around the mouth and chin, jowls or loss of jawline definition, or a tired or aged appearance despite feeling youthful.

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about their results. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will evaluate your skin elasticity, facial structure, and personal goals to develop a customized surgical plan that enhances your natural features.

Do you offer facelifts for men?

Yes, facelifts are popular among men looking to restore a firmer, more youthful jawline and reduce sagging skin without appearing overly pulled or artificial. Male facelift techniques are tailored to preserve masculine features, ensuring a natural, refreshed result without altering facial identity.

Dr. Plant takes a specialized approach to maintain strong jawline contours and natural facial proportions in male patients.
