What Is a Facelift?
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ross Bunch performs the full spectrum of facial surgery procedures in Tuscaloosa, AL. One of the most sought-after surgeries is the facelift. This treatment addresses specific sections of the face to smooth lax skin and wrinkles to create a refreshed, taut appearance. Depending on your aesthetic goals, a facelift can focus on the eyes, the mid-face area and cheeks, the bottom portion including the mouth, jowls, neck, and more for an all-over youthful look. The facelift method used depends on your desired outcome, the health and condition of your skin, the amount of laxity present, age, lifestyle, and other influences. Some individuals may require a full facelift due to age and skin laxity, while others might benefit from just a mid-face lift. Dr. Bunch is a skilled surgeon with an in-depth understanding of the intricate and delicate nature of facelift surgery. The goal is to create a natural appearance that's soft and beautiful.

How Is a Facelift Performed?
Regardless of your aesthetic concerns, there are numerous facelifts available. Some facelifts treat the upper portion of the face, and others focus on the middle and lower. Furthermore, some procedures are a bit more invasive and intricate than others. A few of the more known facelift options include:
- Full Facelift: A full facelift, typically performed on older adults, involves an incision along the hairline, extending near the temples to the base of the ears, to tighten facial tissues and muscles for a more lifted appearance. This procedure may be combined with other techniques, such as an eyelid lift or neck lift, to address signs of aggressive aging.
- Mid-Facelift: A mid-facelift targets the middle third of the face, including the cheeks and lower eyelids, to address sagging and restore youthful contours. This procedure involves smaller incisions compared to a full facelift and focuses on lifting and tightening the areas that often show early signs of aging.
- Lower Facelift: A lower facelift corrects the neck, chin, and often the jowls, providing a more defined jawline and smoother neck area. This procedure effectively addresses sagging and excess skin in the lower face, creating a rejuvenated and youthful appearance.
- Mini Facelift: When undergoing a mini facelift, a tiny incision is placed near the ears to lift the skin, which affects the mouth, jawline, and jowls. This technique creates subtle improvements that look beautiful and natural.

Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa Reviews
This surgeon is amazing! Very skilled in what he does, very knowledgeable, and his staff is very helpful and very very professional. He was able to get my procedure covered by my medical insurance, which cut his payment down to very little! But you would think I paid $1 million based on the treatment, and the courtesy and concern that all have demonstrated during my procedure and recovery. I traveled from out of state to have this procedure and honestly, I don’t think I would’ve found a greater experience than I found at Plastic Surgery Of Tuscaloosa and Doctor Bunch! He definitely cares about what you care about!!!
Dr. Bunch has proven his self noteworthy with me. He has the ability to transform lives as I know it! I suffer from a metabolic syndrome and even with diet and exercise I would have not been able to alleviate the excessive fat and skin from my body. I lost 65 pounds and due to my apron developing a rash and no relief of cream, it was deemed medically necessary to have the excess skin and fat removed from my abdomen. Dr. Bunch made me feel comfortable and like family. He ensured he would take care of me and he did. I’m truly thankful for his gift of surgery on my body because he truly transformed and addressed the health issues I was dealing with. I hope this encourages anyone who is searching for relief to try him. You have found the right answer you have been looking for!
Dr. Bunch listens to your concerns and is nice. I’ve experienced speaking with another plastic surgeon and he was rude and made me feel worse about myself, but Dr. Bunch is very professional but also helps you realize what your concerns are and makes me feel better about myself and the results I can achieve. I would definitely refer him as your Plastic Surgeon.
