Facelift Corona | Natural & Restored Results

Refined, Restored, and Unmistakably You

Life in Corona moves at a specific pace. Whether you are commuting from South Corona or spending weekends at the Crossings, the days are full. But somewhere between the busy schedule and the relentless California sun, the face in the mirror starts to tell a story you didn't authorize. You might feel energetic and capable, but deep creases, sagging skin, and a softening jawline make you look fatigued.

While non-surgical tweaks can help for a while, there comes a time when fillers just don't cut it. For women and men seeking a real reset, a facelift is the only way to truly restore the form and definition of youth. Under the care of Dr. Michael Jazayeri, a seasoned plastic surgeon serving the Riverside and Corona area, the goal isn't to make you look like a different person. It’s to help you look like the best version of yourself—just well-rested.

What is a Facelift?

Technically, it’s called a rhytidectomy. But in practice, a facelift is a structural reset. It’s not just about tightening skin. True aesthetic plastic surgery goes deeper. It involves lifting the underlying muscles (the SMAS layer) and repositioning the fat pads that gravity has pulled south. Dr. Jazayeri approaches this cosmetic procedure with an artist’s eye. He trims away the excess laxity and smoothes out deep wrinkles and jowls. The result? You get to live your life without worrying about looking "pulled" or "windswept." Most patients simply look refreshed, like they’ve just returned from a long, relaxing vacation.

Signs It Might Be Time

What Aesthetic Issues Does a Facelift Address?

Aging doesn't happen all at once. It's a slow slide. You might notice your chin definition fading or lines deepening around the mouth. A facelift is the most effective way to address these specific changes:

Jowls: That heaviness along the jawline that ruins your profile.
Deep Folds: The lines running from your nose to your mouth (nasolabial folds).
Midface Sagging: When cheeks lose their volume and start to slide.
Neck Issues: Loose skin or vertical bands in the neck often happen alongside facial aging.

If you are constantly pulling your skin back in the mirror to see what you "used to look like," that is usually the sign. Patients who choose surgery often find that the improvement in their appearance drastically boosts their overall experience of daily life.

Tailored Techniques, Not Templates

Dr. Jazayeri doesn't believe in "cookie-cutter" faces. He customizes the surgery based on your anatomy and what you want to achieve.

Traditional Facelift (SMAS Lift)

This is the gold standard for facial rejuvenation. It addresses moderate to severe aging. By lifting the deep muscle layer, Dr. Jazayeri ensures the tension is on the structure, not the skin. This helps minimize scarring and produces results that last.

Mini Facelift

If you are younger or just starting to see early sagging, a mini lift might be the right set of techniques for you. It uses shorter incisions and focuses on the jawline. It’s less invasive, meaning a quicker return to work.

The Neck Factor

You rarely see an aged face with a youthful neck. To get the best results, Dr. Jazayeri often combines the facelift with a neck lift. By tightening the muscles and removing excess fat, he creates a sleek, elegant neckline that complements the face perfectly.

Awake, Comfortable, and Safe

The Local Anesthesia Difference

This is where Dr. Jazayeri really stands out. Many patients are terrified of general anesthesia—the nausea, the grogginess, the loss of control. Dr. Jazayeri specializes in performing major procedures under local anesthesia with oral sedation. Why choose Local?

Comfortable Recovery: You skip the anesthesia "hangover." Patients rave about how clear-headed they feel right after.
Safety: Without heavy sedation or a ventilator, risks are significantly reduced.
Communication: You are relaxed and numb, but you can still hear the team and respond if needed.

Whether it's a facelift, a tummy tuck, or even breast augmentation, Dr. Jazayeri can perform these in his accredited facility or surgery center, depending on the case, with a focus on your comfort.

The Full Picture

Complementary Procedures

A facelift does the heavy lifting for the lower face, but sometimes you need a little more to complete the look. To complement your surgery, many patients choose to add:

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): If your eyes look heavy or tired, lifting the lids opens up the whole face.
Brow Lift: To smooth forehead lines and lift a heavy brow.
Fat Transfer: We lose volume as we age. Dr. Jazayeri can transfer fat to the cheeks to restore that youthful softness.
Laser Treatments: To polish the skin's surface and treat sun damage.

Whether you are interested in facial work or other procedures like breast augmentation, Dr. Jazayeri will design a plan that makes sense for your body and your timeline.

Standards Matter

Choosing the Right Surgeon

When you are looking for doctors, credentials are non-negotiable. Dr. Jazayeri is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has published research and maintains privileges at accredited hospitals. But beyond the paper, look for a surgeon who listens. Most patients say that feeling heard was the deciding factor. Awards are great, but trust is better. When a surgeon takes the time to explain the factors involved in your surgery, you get better outcomes because you are a partner in the process.
