What Is a Facelift?
A facelift (or rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure designed to correct visible signs of facial aging such as jowls, sagging skin, and deep nasolabial folds. Unlike surface treatments, a true facelift addresses the underlying musculature and support layers, restoring youthful architecture with long-lasting results
At VG Signature, Dr. Gargya specializes in deep plane and high-SMAS facelifts — techniques that reposition both skin and deep facial structures together, rather than pulling the skin alone. The result: natural, sculpted, and enduring rejuvenation.

What to Expect: Facelift Surgery at VG Signature
Consultation: Every patient begins with an in-depth, unhurried evaluation. Dr. Gargya studies your facial proportions, movement, aging pattern, and goals.
Procedure: Typically lasts 3–4 hours, performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Incisions are carefully hidden around the ears and hairline.
Recovery: Expect swelling and bruising for 10–14 days. Most patients return to light activity within two weeks and enjoy visible improvements that continue to evolve over several months.
Results: A defined jawline, smoother neck, lifted midface, and an elegant, refreshed version of you — not a different face.
