Beverly Hills Facelift of the Future

 

 ( "The facelift of the future") is a minor, one-hour procedure with long lasting natural results. This facelift procedure was designed by facelift surgeon Dr.  to improve the laxity of jowls, cheeks, loose neck (turkey neck) and facial skin without the need for major anesthesia.  Facelift recovery is quicker and more comfortable than with a traditional face lift, with more natural results. This procedure is best for people who do not wish to have a traditional pulled and unnatural face lift look.

What Does a Face Lift or Mini Facelift Do?

Aging alters the body in many ways, but nowhere are these harsh realities as visible as on the face. Coupled with the sun’s damaging rays, the aging process coarsens the texture of the skin, diminishes its youthful layer of fatty tissue, and causes the angularity of the face to be lost. As the skin makes its downward descent off the cheeks, jaw, and neck, it pouches into unsightly bags and overhanging jowls. These outward signs often generate comments of tiredness and questions of sadness that really belie an inner vitality. The great value of SIMONI LIFT ^TM is that it can help counter this generalized facial sagging and give the face a more rested and youthful appearance. The procedure does not change you; it simply makes you look the way you did years ago.

HOW IS  LIFT ^TM DONE?

For  LIFT ^TM, You will only need local anesthesia, which is a relatively painless local injection of an anesthetic mixed with epinephrine to numb your face. The idea behind avoiding major anesthesia is so the patient will have a safer procedure and be able to go home right after.  Dr is an expert in keeping even the most anxious patients relaxed and comfortable.  LIFT ^TM removes excess skin and fat from the face and neck area through well planned incisions that start in the hairline and run down in front of the ear, up behind the ear. It repositions and supports the underlying structures and drooping fat, muscles, and skin.  The preoperative analysis evaluates the quality of the skin, looseness at the jaw line, the angle from the chin to the bottom of the neck, and the amount of fat and excess skin present in the neck area. The results are very dependent on the elasticity of the skin. If the skin has had extensive damage, additional procedures may be required.  LIFT ^TM can best correct skin laxity in the face and neck as well as contour problems caused by protruding fat.

HOW LONG DOES THE MINI LIFT LASTS?

In every face, regardless of the person’s age, some slack can be found. Following LIFT ^TM, the aging process continues and the skin loses more of its elastic properties. Gravity causes the loose skin to accumulate along the jaws, along the sides of the mouth and in the center of the neck under the chin. It is impossible to predict when – and to what extent – this may happen. Genetics, age differences, ethnic backgrounds, stress, illness, and nutrition all play a role in how soon other mini-lift procedures may be considered. However on the average it may take 10-15 years before you might need any additional tuck up.

(RHYTIDECTOMY) FACE LIFT RECOVERY

By avoiding anesthesia, swelling and bruising is significantly reduced. You should be able to go out in public with the help of makeup within a few days, but this will vary with each patient. It's important to limit your activities for several days. And it will probably be 4-7 days before you can return to work. There are risks as with any procedure, the general risks include bleeding and infection. Though rare, you could develop a pocket of blood and fluid, called a hematoma. This would probably need to be removed by releasing a few sutures and removing the collection. You should expect to have little discomfort, but any that occurs can be controlled with pain medication. Intense pain is a sign that you should call your doctor. There may be decreased sensation of the face for a month or so with a gradual return to normal. You can expect to feel, but not usually see, a few little bumps that will even out over time. There will be permanent hidden scars from the procedure that at first will be red, but should fade and be inconspicuous.  ---> [Post Face and Eye Surgery Instruction]
