Facial Rejuvenation Surgery in Northern Virginia
The Facelift
Natural, Undetectable Results Through Deep Plane Techniques
Your face tells your story. Many patients feel vibrant and energetic on the inside, yet see an older, tired reflection looking back at them. Facial rejuvenation surgery is about restoring harmony between how you feel and how you look, without changing who you are.
Dr. Munique Maia is an award-winning, board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in advanced facial rejuvenation techniques, including the deep plane facelift. Her approach prioritizes natural, undetectable results by addressing the deeper structures of the face rather than simply tightening skin.
Facial Rejuvenation: More than just a facelift

Why Consider Facelift Surgery?
Many patients feel that they look tired or older than they feel on the inside. This change rarely comes from one factor alone.
Over time, the skin thins, facial volume decreases, deeper tissues descend, and sun damage and genetics play a role in how the face ages. These changes affect the entire face, not just one area.
Facelift Vs. Facial Rejuvenation Surgery
The term facelift is often used to describe full facial rejuvenation. In reality, a facelift addresses the lower face and jawline. True facial rejuvenation surgery takes a comprehensive approach, restoring balance across the face by addressing structure, volume, and skin quality together.
At Maia Plastic Surgery, a facelift often serves as the foundation of this process, but it is only one part of a thoughtfully customized plan.

Am I a good candidate for a facelift?
A surgical facelift is often an appropriate option for women and men who are bothered by visible changes in the lower face and neck. Modern facelift techniques restore deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin, allowing for natural, refreshed results without an operated-on appearance.
Patients often seek facial rejuvenation because their face no longer reflects how they feel internally. When thoughtfully performed, a deep plane facelift can restore balance and improve facial harmony while preserving expression and individuality.
Common concerns addressed with a facelift include:
- Sagging or heaviness in the lower face
- Drooping cheeks or jowls
- Loss of jawline definition
- Deep facial folds or creases
- Laxity in the neck or under the chin

Facial rejuvenation surgery may be appropriate for patients in their 40s through their 70s, depending on anatomy, skin quality, and overall health. Dr. Maia tailors each approach to the patient’s unique stage of aging rather than chronological age alone.
Ideal candidates are individuals seeking a noticeable, meaningful improvement in facial aging while still looking like themselves. A comprehensive consultation is required to evaluate facial structure, medical history, and surgical safety. Based on this assessment, Dr. Maia will recommend a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve balanced, long-lasting results.
