In Houston, where the skyline gleams as brightly as the personalities, beauty is not just a standard—it’s a conversation. But while many have turned to serums and lasers, others are finding a bolder, more lasting solution to facial sagging: face lifts. Updated for August 2025, this guide explores the cutting-edge facelift solutions offered by Dr. Roth Plastic Surgery, revealing how the latest techniques address deep facial sagging caused by collagen and elastin loss—without the tight, pulled-back look of the past.
In a city that thrives on individuality and authenticity, facelifts aren’t just about looking younger—they’re about reclaiming your reflection.
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin—those critical fibers responsible for keeping the skin firm, plump, and youthful. But for many in Houston, especially in a climate that amplifies sun exposure, these changes show up faster and more dramatically. The result? Drooping cheeks, jowls, nasolabial folds, and under-eye sagging that no cream can fix.
While facial fillers and non-invasive treatments may offer short-term smoothing, they often can't fix deeper structural descent. That’s where modern face lifts shine.
Gone are the days of dramatic "wind tunnel" looks. Today’s most trusted surgeons—like those at Dr. Roth Plastic Surgery—are embracing a natural, “light-restoring” approach to face lifts. By addressing the underlying tissue (not just skin), they reposition facial fat pads, tighten the SMAS layer, and lift in harmony with natural bone structure.
This strategy doesn’t just remove years—it restores balance and enhances the way light plays across your face. That subtle shift creates a youthful dimension without sacrificing identity.
Living in Houston means managing sun, sweat, and social calendars. This city is fast-paced and highly visible, and Houstonians don’t have time for procedures that offer short-lived or exaggerated results.
That’s why face lifts have evolved:
Your skin sits on a complex scaffolding of fat pads, connective tissue, muscle, and bone. As you age:
In 2025, facelift techniques are designed to reverse these changes by lifting deeper layers, not just stretching the surface.
Houston patients today are demanding more precision—and customization. Thankfully, facelift options now include:
Perfect for early signs of aging or maintenance in your 40s and early 50s. Addresses mild sagging around the jawline and cheeks with tiny incisions and minimal downtime.
Ideal for deeper sagging, this technique tightens the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS)—the fibrous layer beneath the skin—offering a longer-lasting and more natural lift.
The gold standard for those seeking dramatic, yet refined results. It goes under the SMAS layer, preserving the blood supply and reducing tension, for a truly rejuvenated appearance.
Targets jowls, marionette lines, and turkey neck, which are often the most bothersome signs of aging.
A new trend hitting Houston? Patients who’ve lost significant weight—often through medications like Ozempic—are noticing more facial sagging. While these individuals are healthier, rapid fat loss can leave the face gaunt or deflated.
Face lifts have adapted to this phenomenon by:
Dr. Roth and his team bring an art-meets-science mindset to every facelift. Here’s how:
Dr. Roth is not only board-certified but also deeply trusted in the city’s aesthetics scene—balancing innovation with safety.
Many patients worry about downtime, but Dr. Roth’s process makes healing streamlined and stress-free.

A facelift is a reset—but maintaining that lift means treating your skin right afterward. Think of it as a long-term partnership.
Typically 7–10 years, but maintenance and skincare can prolong the effects.
It’s less about age and more about facial anatomy and goals. Patients from 40–75+ seek out face lifts.
Not with Dr. Roth. His approach focuses on natural, refreshed outcomes that preserve your identity.
Yes—stop smoking, avoid blood thinners, maintain a stable weight, and optimize your skin health.
A facelift can improve midface support, but under-eye issues often require eyelid surgery or fat grafting too.
A consultation is key—Dr. Roth will assess your unique structure, skin condition, and goals.
In 2025, face lifts are more sophisticated, customizable, and natural-looking than ever before. Whether you're addressing gravity, loss of volume, or the effects of sun and time, a scientifically tailored facelift from Dr. Roth Plastic Surgery can offer not just younger skin—but a version of you that feels bright, balanced, and empowered.
There’s no shame in wanting to look how you feel. And in Houston, where science meets beauty, that transformation starts with one powerful lift.
