Facelift Options

At Only Faces, we offer two main Facelift options to address different signs of aging: Facelift and Facelift with Neck Lift. Discover how Dr. Freeman’s innovative techniques set these procedures apart, delivering results that surpass traditional methods.Both procedures are done using a preservation deep plane technique.

Dr. Freeman’s Facelift is a less invasive alternative to the traditional Deep Plane Facelift. With this procedure, an incision is made around the ears and a small one under the chin. It is perfect for patients who have only mild to moderate sagging in their midface, perioral (around the mouth) area, and neck. The procedure improves the midface without requiring any fat injections. This way, patients can get natural-looking results that take years off their faces.

Dr Freeman’s Facelift with Neck Lift is one of the most advanced Facelift techniques available. He performs this procedure by making incisions that extend from the ear to the temples along the hairline. By delicately repositioning the deeper facial tissues, he is able to achieve a tighter and more youthful appearance without causing a stretched appearance (as can happen with other methods). This method also requires a minor cut beneath the chin. This way, excess fat from the neck can be removed via liposculpture, and the mandibular ligament can be loosened. That kind of Facelift is perfect for individuals whose cheeks, jawline, and neck have sagged considerably.

I’m writing to tell everyone of my procedure that I had with Dr. Freeman. In the very first consultation I had with Dr. Freeman, he put my worries about the procedure to rest. He explained everything about the procedure to me, the recovery, what to expect, and how confident he was. I was involved in a very serious car accident and was required to wear a neck and back brace for 3 months. This caused my neck to sag. The results I got were even better than I expected. If you want the best facial plastic surgeon, then go talk with Dr. Freeman. Also, his staff is fantastic, too.

After much research I decided to have Dr. Freeman perform my surgery. He listened to my requests and made recommendations. He is straightforward and gave me lots of information about the procedure method and the end results. I didn’t want to look fake, pulled and puffy as do loads of facial surgery, and injection patients. Dr. Freeman actually invented the SOOF lift and teaches it to other surgeons. It is like getting in a time machine. His staff is top notch and went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared, informed and cared for. 100% worth it! Wouldn’t go to anyone else!

I went to see Dr. Freeman to see what I could do to get away from fillers that just wasn’t doing the job anymore. And quite frankly are very expensive to do every year. I needed something more than a quick fix. At the consultation I of course thought I needed more work than Dr. Freeman did. This made me very comfortable with him. He was honest and not trying to get me to do more than I needed. How many doctors would do that? We had a very in-depth conversation. He explained everything to expect. I went out with a scheduled appointment. I knew right after that I had chosen the right doctor. His staff is amazing and just like him very honest and made you feel comfortable.

If you want to put your best face forward look no further than Dr. Sean Freeman! He and his wonderful staff are the best kept secret on the east coast! Dr Freeman could be practicing plastic surgery in any metropolitan city but he is right here. He took 10 years off of my face and neck-oh the neck!!! and I couldn’t be happier with my natural and much younger look. I have absolutely no scarring whatsoever! My only regret is not doing it sooner, so don’t put it off a day longer! Thanks again Dr. Freeman and staff!!! Kim Middleton.
