If you're bothered by aging in the face and neck, you may be attracted to the variety of facelift fads touted today. These trendy or trade name facelift procedures often promise a less invasive, less expensive procedure with results that too often prove too good to be true. Too many of these facelift fads produce poor results, poor scarring, and results that simply do not last.
In truth, the most proven and effective technique for treating an aging face and neck is the traditional, fad-free facelift. When performed correctly by a skilled surgeon, healing times are often quicker than those promised by the facelift fads and results are significantly better. Further, the fad-free facelift can be combined with laser resurfacing for dramatic improvement. Using traditional facelift techniques, the treatment targets sagging in the lower face and neck, including sagging cheeks, jowls and neck bands. Laser resurfacing methods are then used to treat damaged skin, including brown spots, raised lesions and other skin imperfections. The result is a firmer, more youthful facial contour with fresher, more vibrant looking skin.
This breakthrough combination of facelift and laser resurfacing can be performed in less than two hours with comfortable twilight sleep anesthesia. The surgery itself can be customized to the individual patient in order to address their specific needs. Innovative natural tissue glue is used, resulting in minimal bruising and swelling. There are no drains used and no need to have your stitches removed because dissolvable sutures are used. Patients are able to shampoo and shower the very next day.
