If you’ve been putting off facial cosmetic surgery because of a packed schedule and a busy social life, consider opting for a Lifestyle Lift®. Jacksonville’s Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery Institute caters to many patients with hectic careers, full social lives and heavy travel schedules. Downtime is an elusive luxury for many, but Northeast Florida residents still want to look their best. After all, our year-round mild climate means lots of sunny days and clear nights to get out and about with friends and network with professional colleagues.

When you opt for a Lifestyle Lift at our Jacksonville surgery center, you’ll get a less-invasive approach to traditional facelift surgery performed by our highly qualified, board certified plastic surgeons. We use the most advanced cosmetic surgical techniques to tighten and smooth your face and neck, eliminating wrinkles and leaving you with a natural, youthful and refreshed look. The procedure is designed to address common signs of aging including a sagging jaw line, droopy eyelids and facial creases. The result is more significant than you’ll see with dermal fillers, but not as drastic a change as you would get with a traditional facelift.

Lifestyle Lift Before & After

Lifestyle Lift Before & After

With the Lifestyle Lift, Jacksonville area patients undergo local anesthesia (sometimes called “twilight anesthesia”), rather than general anesthesia. You’ll feel incredibly relaxed, even sleepy, but you’ll be able to respond and follow your plastic surgeon’s simple directions. While the thought of being awake during facial plastic surgery may sound a bit unnerving, local anesthesia typically causes a patient to forget all about the actual surgical procedure. The primary benefit, however, is that local anesthesia poses far less risk than does general anesthesia, which can be dangerous at worse and leave you feeling groggy for days afterward at best.

Fast becoming one of the most requested cosmetic procedures in Jacksonville, the Lifestyle Lift surgery typically takes about an hour for a skilled plastic surgeon to complete and most patients are able to return to their normal routines in a week’s time. Less time spent in surgery and the use of local anesthetics rather than more intense general anesthetics makes the Lifestyle Lift among Jacksonville’s most affordable options for effective, long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
