Designer Stacey Bendet Shares the Results of Her Neck and Lower Facelift at 46

Fashion designer Stacey Bendet is getting comfortable with a new kind of stitching.

The Alice + Olivia founder, 46, shared the results of her neck and lower facelift, which she had performed by New York City surgeon, Andrew Timberlake. Days before her surgery, Bendet revealed that she was looking for a “little refresh” after “constantly” feeling “self-conscious” about the appearance of her neck.

“I wanted a subtle tightening that would be barely noticeable and very natural,” she wrote on Instagram, adding that Dr. Timberlake’s “delicate and refined work” for the face and neck was appealing. “In choosing a doctor for the procedure, as a self-proclaimed stitch snob, I met several surgeons before making this decision!”

Three days post-op, Bendet shared a video of her results, revealing the almost-non-existent stitches nears her ears, hairline and under her chin. “I’m still wearing a hat and glasses because I’m a little bruised and a little swollen, but look at these scars,” said Bendet. “Stitches are literally couture. You can barely see them.”

“No one can believe how the micro incisions/stitches look day 3! I am definitely sore under my chin area but so happy with how smooth and taut everything already looks!” she captioned the post.

A baby facelift can also be referred to as a mini facelift and involves less-invasion incisions as opposed to those of a traditional lift. Among the services offered on Dr. Timberlake’s website includes a mid facelift, which “addresses the cheeks, jowls, and jawline when a patient’s neck does not yet need surgery.” The enhancement doesn’t require incisions “behind the ears or into the posterior hairline.” It’s also preferred among younger patients.

Bendet has been open about her past cosmetic enhancements in the past. In August 2023, she detailed her injectables routine with the help of dermatologist Dr. Dan Belkin, whose also worked with Martha Stewart. In her post, she detailed getting Daxify around the eyes and Botox around her jawline to “to pull the skin, refresh the eyes and reduce smile lines,” which she summed up as having “Staceface.”
