Facelift
A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging facial skin, jowls, and muscle laxity, especially in the cheeks and jawline. Dr. Vandegrift expertly lifts and repositions underlying tissues to restore youthful contours and define a smooth, natural-looking facial shape. Patients report looking noticeably younger and more refreshed, with refreshed volume and a more sculpted neckline. Though recovery involves swelling, bruising, and downtime, the long-term outcome is a rejuvenated appearance that maintains your expressive, natural features.
Neck Lift
A neck lift targets loose skin, fat deposits beneath your chin, and visible muscle bands in the neck and jawline. With refined surgical techniques, Dr. Vandegrift removes unwanted tissue and tightens the underlying muscle layer, creating a smoother, firmer neckline and seamlessly enhancing jawline definition. Many patients achieve a more youthful, elongated neck with results that last years.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery addresses signs of aging around the eyes, such as droopy upper lids or prominent undereye bags. Dr. Vandegrift can remove or reposition fat, trim excess skin, and tighten support structures. Reducing puffiness and sagging while maintaining natural eyelid function enables you to feel lighter and look more alert.
Brow Lift
A brow lift elevates a drooping brow, softens forehead wrinkles, and repositions the eyebrows to a more natural location. Dr. Vandegrift’s approach smooths horizontal lines and relieves heaviness above the eyes, helping patients look friendlier and less fatigued. This procedure eliminates hooded eyes and creates a smoother forehead, complementing other facial refinements.

Botox and Fillers
Botox and dermal fillers are minimally invasive ways to smooth expression lines and restore youthful volume. Botox softens wrinkles like forehead lines and crow’s feet by gently relaxing targeted muscles, while dermal fillers reintroduce lost volume in the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. The results are natural and subtle – patients enjoy smooth skin without compromising facial movement. Results typically last several months, and periodic maintenance treatments will help you maintain your desired appearance.
Non-Surgical Facelift
A non-surgical facelift combines multiple methods to rejuvenate without incisions, stitches, or anesthesia. This tailored combination lifts drooping cheeks and jowls, smooths fine lines, and boosts firmness with minimal downtime. Ideal for patients with a less advanced degree of aging, this approach delivers refreshed contours and improved skin tone, resulting in a younger, more balanced appearance over each treatment cycle.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer uses your body fat, harvested through liposuction, to restore volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, or undereye hollows. Dr. Vandegrift purifies and carefully injects this natural filler to lift and volumize. Because it uses your tissue, fat transfer offers long-lasting, gentle enhancement without the risk of allergies or rejection.
Renuvion Skin Tightening
Renuvion merges radiofrequency energy with helium plasma to deliver targeted skin tightening and contraction. Delivered through small incisions, the device heats tissue to encourage natural collagen production while minimizing damage. You can achieve smoother, tighter skin on your face, neck, or body, with minimal scarring and downtime. It’s a powerful alternative to more aggressive procedures – often delivering impressive results with notable skin tone improvement.
