Feel Rejuvenated and Refreshed

The Weekend Lift was developed in 2003 to help patients look and feel rejuvenated and refreshed without experiencing the extreme pain, risk, downtime, and expense of traditional facelifts.

What is
The Weekend Lift?

This is a mini-facelift that is an excellent alternative to a full facelift and gives an overall lift to the neck and lower third of the face. It focuses primarily on trouble spots such as the neck, jowls, mid-face and the lines around the nose and mouth. It is called the Weekend Lift because that is the approximate duration for post-operative recovery.

How does the weekend lift compare to a traditional facelift?

Unlike a full facelift, the Weekend Lift is done using local anesthetic , much like you’d receive during a dental visit rather than general anesthesia. It takes one hour to complete in most cases. The incisions are much smaller, starting at the hairline and going around the ear. There are no drains or big face bandages, no risk of facial nerve injury and minimal to no bruising. The procedure is performed at the clinic under sterile conditions, and patients go home with an antibiotic, although the risk of infection is less than 1 percent. Many people go back to work the next day.

Reviews and Testimonials

See what our patients have to say about their experiences with Dr. Cherukuri.

I was pretty anxious about getting a Weekend facelift and eyelift under local anesthesia, but, Dr. Cherukuri was so gentle and his staff is so caring that it put me at ease. My result was better than I expected. Someone I recently met thought I must be in my thirties!!!

I highly recommend the procedure to anyone wanting an improvement in their appearance that is not drastic but very natural looking. My job demands high energy. I feel that with this procedure, I have made myself physically competitive in the job market and now look the way I truly feel: an active, high energy, professional woman!

I’m just wanted to thank you for doing a great job. The Weekend Lift made my face look amazing. Everyone is asking me what looks so refreshed but they can’t figure it out!
