You mean that a facelift really doesn’t work!

“No, it works to lift the facial structures and remove excess skin but it really doesn’t address the real causes of the aging face.” “The effects of aging in the face consist of three elements: Loss of facial volume, we deflate, Loss of elasticity, especially in the neck, and Loss of the smooth texture of the skin, we have fine lines and rough surface. So pulling and stretching just results in a look that looks pulled and stretched. And doesn’t address the root causes of aging in the face”

What about the mini-facelift and fillers?

“ I was one of the first plastic surgeons in the area to adopt the concept of the mini-facelift and have been performing this procedure for more than 20 years The idea was to minimize the scar and yet to tighten the deeper layers to get the effect. It worked but didn’t address the effects of aging around the mouth, eyes and cheeks. Fillers such as Restylane® or Juvederm® work as well but are only temporary fixes and end up being very expensive.”  “In order to restore a more youthful appearance we had to find a very effective permanent way of restoring volume to the face, elasticity to the neck and an effective way to resurface the skin.”
