Can a facelift and laser be done on the same day?

Often, yes. Many surgeons pair a facelift with lighter or fractional resurfacing during the same session, then save deeper resurfacing for later if it's needed. The call depends on skin type and healing priorities—one visit or two, same destination.

How long do results from a deep plane facelift last?

Aging doesn't stop, but deeper support has been repositioned, so the change tends to age gracefully. Longevity varies with skin quality and sun habits. Your surgeon can outline realistic timelines based on your plan.

Is a brow lift always necessary with a facelift?

No. A facelift targets the lower face and neck. A brow lift comes into play only when brow descent or forehead lines lead the list. Your exam will show whether lifting the 'frame' above the eyes adds value—or if lids alone do the trick.

Which laser is best after surgery?

It depends on goals and skin tone. Fractional options work well for many; deeper ablative settings are often staged for etched lines or heavier sun damage. Your surgeon will dial in settings to minimize risk and maximize payoff—no copy-paste plans.

What kind of downtime should I plan for with a combined approach?

Two to three weeks is common for many patients, depending on the lift type and laser depth. You'll get clear milestones for work, social time, and exercise so you can plan real life around recovery—not the other way around.
