Parotidectomy and Facelift: Advanced Facial Reconstruction in the USA


At Alpha Surgical Group, we specialize in the seamless integration of parotidectomy and facelift techniques — combining precise gland removal with advanced cosmetic outcomes. Our expert team includes board‑certified ENT and plastic surgeons, ensuring patients receive both curative surgery and aesthetic refinement in a single, coordinated treatment plan. This service is ideal for those facing benign or malignant parotid gland tumors who care about minimizing visible scarring and preserving facial symmetry.
A parotidectomy involves removing part or all of the parotid gland (a major salivary gland near the ear) When performed using a facelift incision, the procedure strategically hides surgical entry points behind the ear and along the hairline — avoiding the traditional “Blair incision” that leaves a visible neck scar Combining this with facelift surgery (technically a rhytidectomy) ensures elimination of unwanted lumps while tightening underlying facial tissues for a rejuvenated, youthful look
Why Choose the Combined Parotidectomy and Facelift Approach
Minimal visible scarring: Incisions used in facelift-style parotidectomy are concealed behind the ear and hairline, providing cosmetic outcomes that patients love
Preservation of facial nerve function: Our surgeons meticulously preserve facial nerve branches and the great auricular nerve, reducing risks of numbness or paralysis
Optimal contour restoration: We use techniques like SMAS flaps, fat grafts, and, when needed, muscle transpositions to fill post‑gland defects and prevent "divots" or depressions
Single recovery process: Combining procedures into parotidectomy and facelift means one anesthesia event and unified healing—less time off work and faster return to normal life.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates are USA‑based patients with benign or low‑grade parotid tumors who also desire facial rejuvenation (such as sagging jowls or deepening nasolabial folds). Patients who've already undergone parotidectomy may still be candidates for a second‑stage facelift, provided nerve integrity is evaluated
