A facelift is a surgical procedure that repositions and tightens the deeper facial structures, not just the skin. This ensures results that look natural rather than “pulled” or artificial.
During the procedure, the underlying facial tissues are carefully lifted and repositioned to restore youthful contours in the cheeks, jawline and neck. Excess skin is then precisely adjusted to avoid tension and maintain long-term results.
Searching for the best facelift surgeon? Dr. Carlos Velasco prioritizes balance and proportion. Instead of over-removing skin, his technique focuses on correcting the structural cause of sagging, resulting in smoother, longer-lasting rejuvenation outcomes.
Patients choose a facelift when non-surgical treatments are no longer sufficient to address moderate to advanced signs of aging.

Our clinic specializes in advanced facial rejuvenation techniques that go beyond conventional facelift methods. Rhytidoplasty is performed by working on the deeper facial layers to achieve structural lifting and natural repositioning. You want a deep plane facelift or a mini facelift, Dr. Velasco is the best facelift surgeon in Colombia.
Dr. Velasco’s method targets the foundational support system of the face, allowing for improved elevation of mid-face tissues, softening of nasolabial folds and definition of the jawline.
By addressing deeper anatomical layers, the technique reduces tension on the skin and avoids an overly tight appearance. This contributes to more natural facial expressions and longer-lasting results compared to superficial lifting methods.
Rhytidoplasty is suitable for individuals who want to correct visible facial aging and restore a more youthful appearance without altering their natural identity.
Ideal candidates generally include:
Both men and women can benefit from this procedure. During consultation, Carlos Velasco evaluates facial anatomy, skin quality and aesthetic goals to determine suitability and create a personalized surgical plan.

The facelift cost varies depending on individual needs, facial structure and surgical complexity. For example, the deep plane facelift cost will be different from the mini facelift cost. A personalized consultation is required to provide an accurate estimate. Both in-person and virtual consultations are available.
Rhytidoplasty is performed under anesthesia, so patients do not feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort during recovery is normal and managed with prescribed medication and care protocols.
A deep plane facelift is a cutting-edge surgical procedure that repositions the deeper layers of facial muscles and fat pads rather than just pulling the skin. The technique allows the surgeon to lift the cheeks, jawline and neck together as a single, natural unit.
Initial improvements are visible after swelling decreases, usually within a few weeks. Final results typically become fully visible between 3 to 6 months after surgery.
A facelift generally takes between 3 to 7 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and whether additional procedures are combined. The results typically last 8-15 years or more when properly taken care of.
