In today's rapidly changing cosmetic market, there seems to be more confusion regarding facelift procedures than ever before. Most of this confusion comes from the onslaught of "trade names" given to facelift procedures by surgeons. These trade name procedures are often misleading with many false promises. Most of these "trendy" facelift procedures advertise that they are less invasive with quicker healing, less downtime and less expensive.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, when a surgeon attempts to cut corners and not perform the surgical procedures the way the medical literature recommends, this is when results suffer. The most common problems I see with these so-called minimally invasive facelifts is poor results, especially in the neck area, poor scarring, and lack of long term results.
Therefore, I recommend the FAD FREE Facelift, that is, do what is proven, what is effective and what the medical literature recommends. I assure my patients that if a facelift is done properly, their healing will be quicker than these so-called brand name facelifts, their results will be superior and as far as scarring, I tell them their hair dresser will have a hard time knowing they had a facelift.
It is also important to understand that facelift procedures should be customized to the individual patient. That is, some patients need more skin work, some more muscle work and others more fat recontouring. To perform the same trendy or trade name procedure on every patient is not acting in the best interest of the patient.
I have built a thriving facelift practice over the last 16 years, by adhearing to these conservative proven techniques. I have not fallen prey to fads, as fads do not last. We have all heard the sayings, "if it is too good to be true it is and you get what you pay for."
