This signature facelift features our unique procedure utilizing the "pulley" suture technique for maximum results in about an hour and minimum "weekend recovery."
It consists of a one-inch, under-the-chin incision, removal of excess fat by liposuction and then suturing the sides of the platysma muscle, which defines the angle between chin and neck and provides neck support.
An Erbium laser-induced peel uncovers new, radiant skin. Customized levels of treatment range from the "Weekend Peel" (Friday treatment with total healing by Monday) to the "Maximizing Peel," which heals completely in seven to nine days.
It is two procedures that can be combined. Upper Lids: Excess skin is removed via a small incision in the eyelid's fold. Lower Lids: Excess fat is excised or repositioned. If needed, excess skin is also removed and improved with laser skin resurfacing, if necessary.
Only a one-inch incision in the scalp over the forehead is necessary to remove excess skin tissue along with the partial removal of frown muscles. The eyebrows are lifted and secured, and excess skin from them is also removed.
Bone and cartilage is sculpted (usually straightened or narrowed), bumps removed, and the reshaping and redefinition of the tip of the nose is accomplished through an inside-the-nose incision.
For the chin, an incision is made either in the mouth or chin to insert the implant. For cheek implants, the incision is made in the mouth.
A Simplicity lift may be necessary, in addition, to eliminate excess skin or to tighten the area.
No. Suturing techniques - for a more natural look - are used instead of cutting or sculpting cartilage to reshape the ear and/or pull it closer to the head.
Tiny injections of a purified protein complex block nerve impulses and thus smooth skin by relaxing the muscle and preventing it from contracting.
No. Dermal fillers consist of collagen, hyaluronic acid (Restylane) or calcium hydroxylapatite and methycellulose (Radiesse) and are used for a variety of applications to restore skin's appearance and improve facial contours.
A combination of Botox® and injectable dermal fillers are used to create some of the effects of a facelift.
An injectable dermal filler, such as Radiesse, is used to make a hump look smaller, crookedness appear straighter, increase the projection of the nose by building up its profile and correcting other irregularities.
