San Diego Facelift

When evaluating my patients for face lifts, I allow them to express their concerns. I like to hear in their words, the issues that bother them and what they think needs to be done to correct those.

I obtain a complete medical history to make sure the patient can undergo a surgical procedure if needed. At that time while patients look into a mirror I examine their facial features and explain my findings. Once the patient and I have completed the initial evaluation, I explain a variety of options that may be available to rejuvenate the areas of concern. During the same session I review the details of the necessary procedures, and explain the risks associated.

Many patients are concerned about the jowls at the lower face and their neck laxity. Depending on the findings and the patient’s desires the options may include; Small Incision Facelift, Small Incision Mid Neck lift, Combination lower Facelift & Neck lift or a lateral neck lift. Majority of the patients require either a Small Incision Facelift or a Lower Face & Neck lift. I perform the deep plane and extended SMAS Facelift. This type of Facelift is the most technically difficult Facelift and in my opinion provides the best results.

Many cosmetic surgeons have never performed this procedure or may not have the technical comfort to offer this type of Facelift.Our staff and I spend significant time and effort to assure that the patients are well prepared prior to the procedure and that they have a pleasant recovery.
