Facelift and neck lift work
- Deep plane SMAS composite face and neck lift. The FAQ describes a bilaminar approach: skin elevated separately, with SMAS and platysma lifted together as a composite, plus central cervicoplasty; fat grafting is added when volume loss calls for it (facelift page).
- High SMAS bilaminar lift. The page compares a bilaminar high SMAS deep plane lift with the monolayer technique it attributes to many ENT facial plastic surgeons, and states he uses the bilaminar method (facelift page).
- Extended neck lift. The FAQ calls his extended neck lift "actually a lower facelift with neck lift" and states there is no anatomic mini facelift (facelift page).
- Brow work with facelift. He often combines a coronal approach foreheadplasty with facelifts, per the FAQ (facelift page).
- Operating time. A facelift alone takes four to five hours, up to seven hours with brow lift, eyelid surgery or fat grafting (facelift page).
- Recovery statements. Return to work 1-2 weeks; light exercise at 3-4 weeks; swelling and bruising most visible in the first 1 to 2 weeks; drains and a face and neck bandage after surgery; final contour refinement over 6 to 12 months (facelift page). Out-of-town face-lift patients are generally seen twice weekly after surgery (out-of-town).
- Prices. None published; the FAQ says fees are discussed at consultation.
- Galleries. Numbered case pages, 24 for facelift and neck lift; case 1 describes a high SMAS deep plane face and neck lift with lateral platysmaplasty, central cervicoplasty, blepharoplasty and fat transfer (case 1). Eyelid (case 1) and brow lift (case 1) cases are also posted.
Other facial procedures
The site offers upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid), brow lift (brow lift), facial fat grafting (fat grafting), otoplasty, and medical spa treatments including Mosaic 3D fractional laser, LaseMD Ultra laser, injectables and chemical peels (home).
