           Masterful Results and Delighted Patients

 Our best outcomes and happiest patients want a natural result that does not look like a facelift or overly-filled and puffy look.  They are able to take some time off to allow time for healing- typically a week of some rest and a few week of some swelling.

Facelifts have the most lasting and refined result in patients from ages 46-60 or so.  The techniques can be modified for patients over 65, where the skin can be thinner.  Many patients benefit from a series of smaller procedures 6 months apart , such as:

Fat grafting, TCA peel and Renuvion helium plasma tightening in the office, followed by a more surgical facelift if needed in 6-12 months. Finally a touch up office fat graft and chemical peel a year later.  This plan results in less down time and a superior result for the best facelift outcomes.

Today's facelift surgeries are much different than in the past. There are numerous techniques used, depending on the age of the patient, as well as the condition of the skin and amount of laxity. Some techniques address the skin's surface only, while other goes deeper into the underlying tissues. In addition, a full facelift will address the entire face,  a more limited focus on the neck  or cheek areas or eyelids can be done.
