When your jawline softens, jowls appear, or the skin along your neck starts to loosen, it can make you look tired or older than you feel. A facelift (ritidectomia) with Dr. Alfredo Chama Naranjo — a board-certified plastic surgeon (CMCPER #2607) in Tijuana, minutes from San Diego — restores a naturally refreshed, rested look. The goal is to look like you, years earlier — never pulled, tight, or “done.”
What a facelift addresses
- Sagging cheeks and midface volume loss
- Jowls along the jawline
- Loose skin and bands on the neck
- Deep folds around the nose and mouth
Your options
- Full facelift — comprehensive lifting of the mid and lower face.
- Mini / limited facelift — for earlier or more focused signs of aging.
- Neck lift — often combined for a balanced result; and frequently paired with eyelid surgery.

Recovery, step by step
- Days 1–7: swelling and bruising are most noticeable; you’ll rest and keep your head elevated.
- Weeks 2–3: most patients feel comfortable returning to social life; makeup can help cover residual bruising.
- Months 1–6: swelling continues to fade and your natural, refreshed result settles in.
