Restore a Natural, Refreshed Appearance—Not an Overdone Look

Aging doesn’t happen in just one area, it affects the skin, underlying tissue, fat volume, and overall facial balance. Over time, this leads to sagging, hollowing, and a loss of definition in the face and neck.

At True Beauty San Diego Aesthetic Surgery & Medicine, facial rejuvenation is approached with a comprehensive, medical perspective, not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Under the direction of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Reagan, treatment plans are designed to restore a more youthful, natural appearance while preserving what makes you look like you.

What Is Facial Rejuvenation?

Facial rejuvenation includes both surgical and non-surgical treatments designed to:

Lift and tighten sagging skin
Restore lost facial volume
Smooth wrinkles and lines
Improve skin tone and texture
Rebalance overall facial proportions

While a facelift remains the gold standard for addressing more advanced aging, many patients benefit from a combination of procedures to achieve the most natural-looking results.

Why a Customized Approach Matters

One of the most common concerns patients have is:

“I don’t want to look pulled or overdone.”

That’s exactly why a personalized plan is critical. Dr. Reagan evaluates:

Skin quality and elasticity
Degree of volume loss
Facial structure and proportions
Your goals and comfort level with downtime

From there, he recommends the right combination of treatments, which may include surgery, non-surgical options, or both.

Facial Rejuvenation Treatment Options

Surgical Procedures (More Comprehensive, Long-Lasting Results)

For patients with moderate to advanced aging, surgical procedures provide the most dramatic and lasting improvement.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
Lifts and repositions underlying tissues while removing excess skin to restore a smoother, more defined jawline and neck.
Neck Lift
Targets loose skin, banding, and fullness beneath the chin to create a more contoured neckline.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Removes excess skin and fat around the eyes to restore a more rested, alert appearance.
Brow Lift
Elevates sagging brows and softens forehead lines for a more refreshed upper face.
Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer)
Restores lost volume using your body’s own fat for a natural, longer-lasting result.
Rhinoplasty
Enhances facial balance by refining the shape and proportion of the nose.

Non-Surgical Options (Subtle Enhancement & Maintenance)

For patients not ready for surgery, or looking to maintain results, non-surgical treatments play an important role:

Botox® & Neuromodulators – soften dynamic wrinkles
Dermal Fillers – restore volume and contour
Laser Skin Resurfacing – improve tone, texture, and sun damage
Microneedling & RF Treatments (Morpheus8) – stimulate collagen and tighten skin
Chemical Peels & Medical-Grade Skincare – improve surface quality

These treatments are often used on their own or in combination with surgery for more complete rejuvenation.

Am I a Candidate for Facial Rejuvenation?

You may be a candidate if you are experiencing:

Sagging skin in the face or neck
Jowls or loss of jawline definition
Deep wrinkles or folds
Hollow areas or volume loss
Drooping eyelids or brows

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, non-smokers (or willing to stop), and have realistic expectations about results. A consultation is the best way to determine whether surgical or non-surgical treatment, or a combination, is right for you.

Benefits of Facial Rejuvenation

The goal of facial rejuvenation isn’t to change how you look, it’s to restore a more youthful version of yourself. Benefits include:

A smoother, more defined jawline and neck
Reduced wrinkles and sagging
Restored facial volume and balance
A more refreshed, rested appearance
Long-lasting, natural-looking results

When done correctly, people often notice you look better or more refreshed, not that you’ve had surgery.

Recovery & Downtime

Recovery depends on the treatment:

Facelift / Surgical procedures:
Most patients feel comfortable socially within 10–14 days, with continued improvement over several months.
Non-surgical treatments:
Minimal to no downtime, depending on the procedure.

Dr. Reagan and the True Beauty team provide detailed guidance and follow-up care to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

What Kind of Results Can You Expect?

Facial rejuvenation results vary depending on the approach:

Surgical procedures:
Deliver the most dramatic, long-lasting improvements, with results that continue to refine over several months.
Non-surgical treatments:
Offer more subtle, gradual improvements with little to no downtime.

Many patients choose a combination approach, surgery for structural changes and non-surgical treatments for maintenance and refinement.
