Facelift and neck lift work

• Luminosity Lift. He selectively releases deep plane ligaments to mobilize the midface, elevates the SMAS higher on the face, and often adds nano fat grafting and fractional CO2 resurfacing; outpatient, two to three hours (Luminosity Lift).
• Deep plane facelift. The same page states he also performs the deep plane facelift, lifting muscle and skin as one unit (Luminosity Lift).
• Neck lift. Incisions behind each ear, sometimes under the chin; liposuction as needed; one to two hours under general anesthesia. For heavier necks he may use a deep plane neck lift that repositions the platysma and removes fat beneath it (neck lift).
• Anesthesia. A dedicated page covers general anesthesia versus IV (twilight) sedation for facelift (anesthesia options).
• Recovery statements. Sutures out at one week; return to work or normal activities in one to two weeks; a drainage tube in some cases (Luminosity Lift). Neck lift: swelling and bruising usually subside within a week; avoid strenuous activity four to six weeks (neck lift).
• Prices. None published; a quote is given after consultation (Luminosity Lift).
• Galleries. The face gallery holds 15 facelift, 10 eyelid, 21 rhinoplasty, 4 lip, 6 otoplasty and 11 reconstruction cases (face gallery). Facelift case 1 describes a high SMAS lower facelift and neck lift at two months (case 1).

Practice

Not verified: the bio's education list names "American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Sept 2002" under board certification, which conflicts with the ABPS statement in the text.
