Get Summer-Ready in a Week: How the Elévolve Facelift Minimizes Downtime and Maximizes Results

As summer approaches, many of us look forward to vacations, celebrations, and reconnecting with friends and family. It is the season of sun-kissed photos, outdoor gatherings, and milestone moments. For those seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance, the thought of undergoing a facelift may feel enticing—but the idea of a long recovery can hold people back.

Thanks to Dr. Mark Murphy and the innovative Elévolve Facelift, there is now a way to achieve subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation with minimized downtime thanks to Dr. Murphy’s signature approach—just in time for summer.

What Is the Elévolve Facelift?

Designed by Dr. Murphy with today’s active, social lifestyle in mind, the Elévolve Facelift is a customized facial rejuvenation procedure that offers long-lasting results without the extended downtime of traditional facelifts. This advanced approach lifts and tightens the lower face and jawline while preserving the natural contours of your face, avoiding the overly pulled or “done” appearance that some facelifts can produce.

Elévolve is ideal for individuals experiencing early to advanced signs of aging, including:

  • Sagging around the jawline or lower face
  • Loss of skin elasticity
  • Deepening smile lines
  • Heaviness in brow area

By combining precise surgical technique with refined artistry, Dr. Murphy tailors each Elévolve procedure to the unique facial structure and goals of the patient.

The Latest Update: Faster Recovery, Less Bruising

The most exciting news about the Elévolve Facelift? Dr. Murphy has now refined the technique to dramatically reduce recovery time.

Previously, patients were advised to plan for approximately two – three weeks of recovery. Today, with Dr. Murphy’s continued enhancements, most patients are seeing significant improvement and returning to daily activities in just 7–10 days. Bruising is minimal, swelling is more controlled, and the overall healing process is smoother than ever before.

This improvement is a game-changer—especially for patients with busy schedules or those preparing for a summer full of travel, photos, or professional events.

Why Summer Is the Ideal Time for a Facelift

Many people are surprised to learn that spring and early summer are actually ideal seasons for facial procedures. Here’s why:

  • Time off is easier to schedule around long weekends or vacations.
  • Social calendars pick up, and people want to look and feel confident.
  • Sun protection becomes part of daily routines, which supports proper healing.

If you are planning to attend a wedding, a reunion, or a beach getaway later this season, having your procedure done now gives you just enough time to recover and reveal a fresh, confident look by the time the event arrives.

What to Expect During Recovery

With the updated Elévolve technique, patients often find the recovery process more manageable than expected. Here is a general idea of what the first week may look like:

  • Days 1–3: Rest and relaxation. Mild swelling or tightness is expected, but discomfort is generally minimal and manageable.
  • Days 3–7: Swelling begins to subside. Most patients feel comfortable moving around the house.
  • Days 7–10: Significant improvement. Bruising is minimal or nearly gone. Many patients feel confident enough to slowly return to work or social activities.

Dr. Murphy provides each patient with a customized recovery plan and check-ins to ensure everything is progressing smoothly.
