Distinguished Surgeon
Dr. Robert Singer is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has been on the review boards of two plastic surgery journals and lectures throughout the world. He has won numerous awards, including being voted “Best Plastic Surgeon in San Diego” by his peers.
Onsite Surgical Facility
Dr. Robert Singer operates out of our onsite facility that meets the highest safety standards established by QUAD A. Our facility is inspected on a regular basis.
Facelift Options
While we offer traditional facelifts, a mini facelift can be a better procedure for patients in their 30s–50s who show early signs of aging in their cheeks and neck and desire a less extensive surgery. We also offer a mid facelift to address signs of aging in the mid face region.
An Amazing Patient Transformation
This woman wanted to address the volume loss, sagging skin, and other signs of facial aging impacting her appearance. Dr. Singer performed a limited facelift combined with fat injections and a neck lift for a completely refreshed, yet natural, appearance.

Dr Singer did an AMAZING job on my facelift. Couldn't be more pleased with the natural-looking results. The results are AMAZING as I look 10 years younger. This man is the best in his business. Period. He is also just a truly kind and caring individual — a real pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Dr. Singer and his full surgical team/office staff a million times.

A Comfortable Recovery
Recovery times vary from patient to patient, but in general, Dr. Singer will advise patients to:
Get Plenty of Rest
Take it easy in the days following your surgery. You should expect to take off from work for 7–10 days, or until you’re comfortable if you have a desk job. Don’t perform strenuous tasks or other activities that could raise your body temperature or blood pressure for three weeks.
Manage Your Pain
You will experience some bruising, swelling, and soreness for a few weeks, but Dr. Singer will provide you with pain medication to ease your discomfort. You can minimize bruising by using topical Arnica Montana 1–2 days before and after surgery.
Attend Follow-Up Appointments
After your mini facelift in La Jolla, CA, you will wear a soft head wrap around your head and under your chin to minimize swelling. You’ll also have to empty drains every night. The drains are typically removed in the office in one to two days, and the head wrap will be freshened or removed in three to five days. Some of your sutures will be removed a few days after surgery, and the remainder at about two weeks.
Make Lifestyle Changes
Dr. Singer will instruct you to sleep on your back for two weeks, elevating your upper body on two or three pillows. By keeping your head elevated above your heart, you can minimize swelling. Avoid alcohol and driving for five days after your surgery. You may wash your hair after the dressings are removed, but don’t use a hot hair dryer, electric rollers, curling irons, or hair coloring for four to six weeks. You can apply makeup once Dr. Singer removes your bandages, as long as you keep your makeup away from the incisions for two weeks.
Have Realistic Expectations
The results of your facelift can last 8–12 years, but gravity and the natural aging process will eventually cause more wrinkles and sagging skin. When you notice these signs of aging, you can explore other options with a plastic surgeon.
The Look You Desire Combining Procedures for Comprehensive Effects
A mini facelift may be all that you need to achieve your desired look, but Dr. Singer can safely perform your procedure in conjunction with another facial surgery. Your options include:
“Dr Singer and his staff are the very best! Dr Singer did my upper bleph 4 years ago and I am extremely pleased with the results. He is our go to doctor for fillers and Botox as well. We trust him completely!”
