Introducing New Facelift Techniques

At Face Beautiful, we recognized the value of a small-incision facelift very early. We saw the promise of a procedure that gave good results but only required very small incisions (leading to small, easily-concealed scars), and short healing times. Having considered all the available options, we came to prefer the S-lift technique, and began practicing them about a decade ago.

The S-lift had only one problem: its results were not sufficiently long-lasting. Several years ago, we began a program of research to determine what combination of techniques might yield the longevity of a full facelift (7-10 years), with the small incisions and short healing times of the S-lift and other similar small incision facelift techniques.

Now we are proud to introduce our two innovative new facelift techniques, the Face Beautiful Signature facelift (FaBS Lift) and the Face Beautiful Extended Signature facelift (FaBES Lift), which combine the best features of a number of different small-incision facelift techniques. To learn more about these brand-new procedures, please consult our page on Small Incision Facelifts or contact us today to set up your initial consultation.

Benefits of Injectables

Injectable treatments are by far the most popular cosmetic procedures being practiced today, about twenty times more popular than the most popular surgical cosmetic procedure, liposuction.

Why are these procedures so popular? The benefits are clear:
  • Procedures are quick (15-30 mins)
  • Procedures are nearly painless
  • Injectables have a low incidence of side effects
  • Injectables require no downtime: you can have the procedure done on your lunch hour and return to work
  • Injectables work well within their limits
  • The treatments are relatively inexpensive

Together, these benefits have allowed injectables like Botox and Juvéderm, Perlane, and Radiesse to change the face of plastic surgery.

In addition, many injectables have unique benefits. Botox, for example, corrects wrinkles caused by the habitual contraction of brow muscles, and over time the use of Botox can re-train the muscles so that less treatments are required to maintain your youthful appearance. Similarly injectable fillers like Juvéderm and Perlane can not only nourish the skin but also encourage the body to produce its own fillers.
