UNLIKE MINI FACELIFTS, THE RESULTS REALLY LAST!
Because we combine the small incision with the lifting of all the deep tissues of your lower face, you will see lasting natural improvement in the neck, along the jawline, and in the cheek area. Best of all, we can customize the Hybrid Facelift procedure in Beverly Hills to suit your individual needs.
Perhaps most importantly, the recovery and bruising after a Hybrid Lift™ are kept to a minimum. While you will not be lunching out the next day, our Hybrid Facelift patients in Beverly Hills are presentable and back to their activities soon after the procedure.
The Hybrid Facelift LA is the only facelift that, in a single procedure and through the smallest of incisions, addresses the two main signs of facial aging:
- Increased laxity of facial skin and muscles
- Loss of facial fat and bony volume
This innovative facelift surgery procedure combines the best of all available techniques to provide results that are superior to the mini facelift and the traditional facelift.
As well-recognized specialists in the world of facial plastic surgery, we know that, for facial rejuvenation to work optimally, lifting and volume must be coupled in cosmetic facelift surgery. Therefore, we have incorporated micro fat transfer as part of our Hybrid Facelift™ in the cheek area and around the mouth for most of our patients in Los Angeles who are facelift candidates. In this way, we are able to give your entire face a consistently smooth, youthful convexity without the usual negatives of a traditional facelift.

IS A HYBRID LIFT™ RIGHT FOR YOU?
The question of which facelift technique is right for you is answered during your imaging consultation. This process is completed once we have determined the degree of aging and skin laxity the patient has, among other factors that are weighed against the patient’s needs, desires, fears, and limitations. Unlike other facelift centers dedicated to one particular type of procedure, Drs. Litner and Solieman avoid gimmicks and instead concentrate on customizing a treatment plan to best suit your unique goals. Our facial plastic surgeons take every precaution in planning your cosmetic facelift surgery in order to preserve your natural features while giving you the younger and more vibrant look you want and deserve.
The aesthetic results Drs. Litner and Solieman have seen with their Hybrid Facelift in Beverly Hills have been revolutionary and nothing short of fantastic. Our patients love that they can be up and around after only a few days. If you are considering a facelift, we encourage you to contact us and book a consultation in which computer imaging will be used to show you personally what a Hybrid Facelift in LA can do for you.

HOW IS A HYBRID FACELIFT PERFORMED?
With the Hybrid Lift™ the skin is lifted in the lower face and neck so that the excess skin can be appropriately trimmed. However, we then go into a deeper plane to extensively lift the sagging tissues underneath the skin. It is this lift that actually creates a lasting, naturally beautiful outcome and minimizes swelling and bruising of the skin, shortening your recovery time. All the tension of the lift is placed on these deep tissues so your skin can drape naturally over your jawline and cheekbones without ever having a hint of a pulled look. The extra saggy skin is tailored and removed via the smaller incision which leaves less scarring and also leads to a quicker recovery, and a quicker recovery means you can start looking fabulous even sooner!
The Hybrid Facelift is a minimally invasive procedure. This means it is performed through an incision that is shorter than the traditional facelift. The incision is hidden within the folds of the ear so that it is virtually invisible when healed. The diagrams and photos on this page show how our Hybrid Facelift matches up against other common facelifts and neck lifts.

WHAT SETS OUR HYBRID FACELIFT IN BEVERLY HILLS ABOVE THE REST?
The Hybrid Facelift combines facial volume enhancement with an extensive lift of your sagging deep facial tissues, all performed through a small skin incision. In other words, Drs. Litner and Solieman combine the shorter recovery time and less visible scars of the mini-facelift with the effectiveness and longevity of the more extensive traditional facelifts. Whether you are just starting to see a sagging cheek, neck, and/or jawline, or have more advanced jowling, our LA Hybrid Facelift can be customized to your specific needs.
The key benefits of the Hybrid Lift™ are:
- With our deep lift, we are able to reposition the deep supporting facial tissues (the SMAS) back into their proper youthful location to give you a truly natural look.
- Using a minimal incision just around the ear, it is completely inconspicuous. Unlike traditional lifts, we never get into the hairlines, move hair tufts, or cause a windswept appearance. You can style your hair any way you like.
- While with mini facelifts only the superficial layers are manipulated, here the work is done in the deep layers, providing our patients with long-lasting results.
- By restoring fat volume, we fill out the concavities responsible for your aged appearance and we restore your youthful, aesthetically pleasing heart-shaped facial structure.
- By using your own fat as a facial filler, the results will look natural and will last. The same cannot be said for temporary facial fillers. Unlike with permanent fillers, you never need to worry about the long-term effects with our Hybrid Facelift.

THE HYBRID FACELIFT IN LOS ANGELES
The following information is provided to give you a basic understanding of the PROFILES Hybrid Facelift, including how it can help you, how it is performed, and what you can expect. Because much of facial plastic surgery is dependent upon your individual characteristics, a personal PROFILES consultation is the best way to have all of your questions about the PROFILES facelift answered and have your specific needs addressed.
HYBRID FACELIFT SURGERY CANDIDATES
A Hybrid Facelift can improve your self-confidence and provide a more youthful, refreshed appearance. In general, we have found that men and women who have some elasticity in their skin and a strong, well-defined bone structure are the best candidates for a Hybrid Facelift in Beverly Hills. Other factors that we will take into consideration during your consultation include your skin type, your individual healing, your ethnic background, and your smoking history.
While the majority of our Hybrid Facelift patients range in age from their forties to their sixties, facelifts are also successfully performed at PROFILES on patients in their seventies and eighties. As you decide to undergo a PROFILES Hybrid Facelift in LA, you can also ask your doctors if there are any additional surgeries that they would recommend to enhance your facial appearance.
The PROFILES Hybrid Lift™ can yield amazing results that really last. However, similarly to other types of facelift surgery, there are some risks that all patients should keep in mind. Some of the risks and potential side-effects of a facelift include:
- Bruising and discomfort during the short recovery
- Temporary damage of facial nerves
- Infection
- Skin necrosis
At PROFILES, we have extensive experience performing facelifts. We work closely with each and every one of our patients to ensure that they achieve the results they have been dreaming of with minimal downtime and side effects.

FAQ
-
HOW MUCH DOES A FACELIFT IN LOS ANGELES COST?
There are many factors that affect the price of a facelift procedure. The complexity of the operation, the patient’s geographic location, and the surgeons’ expertise will all influence the total price of a facelift. In order to get an accurate quote, you should consult with a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon that has adequate credentials to help you achieve your cosmetic goals the first time.
-
HOW PAINFUL IS A FACELIFT?
Conventional facelift procedures rely on a series of incisions, which result in mild to moderate discomfort for the patient during recovery. However, the Hybrid Facelift in LA uses mini-lift incisions that help accelerate recovery and keep pain at a minimum. Dr. Litner and Dr. Solieman want to ensure that their patients are as comfortable as possible, so they prepare a course of OTC analgesics and prescription medication in severe cases.
-
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM A FACELIFT?
Patients that undergo a conventional facelift may take up to 6 weeks to recover. Because the PROFILES Hybrid Facelift in Los Angeles uses mini-lift incisions, the recovery process is much quicker. However, all cases are different, so the best way to get an accurate estimate of the recovery time is to consult with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon that takes into account your unique requirements.
-
IS FACELIFT SURGERY DANGEROUS?
Every year, there are more than 121,500 facelift procedures carried out in the US alone, so this procedure is relatively common. However, as with any operation, there are some risks and potential side effects that range from complications with anesthesia to mild pain. Dr. Solieman and Dr. Litner evaluate each patient and order a full medical examination before each LA Hybrid Facelift in order to minimize the chances of potential complications.
-
HOW LONG DOES A FACELIFT LAST?
The Hybrid Facelift produces long-lasting results without the extensive recovery time that comes with conventional facelifts. This is possible thanks to the combination of mini-lift incisions and deep tissue alteration, which Dr. Litner and Dr. Solieman have perfected over the years. Moreover, the procedure is also tailored to each patient’s unique needs, so you will not have to seek a revision or touch-up later on.
