Facial Surgery in California

A Facelift is designed to lift, smooth, firm and reverse the visible signs of facial aging. By correcting sagging facial skin and muscles, removing excess fat, and restoring firmness, a Facelift can create a more youthful, rested, and vibrant appearance. If the signs of aging on your face bother you, an array of non-surgical and surgical treatments including laser and chemical skin resurfacing, injectables and fillers, contour threadlifts, microfat grafting, mini or "MACS" Cheek and Facelift, or a full "SMAS" Facelift, may be the right choice for you. When appropriately selected and applied, facial plastic surgery combined with adjunct treatments can result in a long-lasting, natural, and youthful look. For a Facelift in Beverly Hills consult Dr. Daniel Golshani.

For many people, the neck is the first area to show signs of aging such as weakened neck muscles that cause the appearance of "bands" around the neck. Frequently performed in conjunction with a Mid-Facelift or facial implants, a Neck Lift can improve an aging neck by significantly reducing the appearance of sagging skin under the jaw.

Over time, many patients feel that their eyebrows begin to look droopy, causing them to look sad, depressed, and even angry. Such droopiness or sagging usually occurs in conjunction with other signs of facial aging. Unfortunately, due to hereditary factors and signs of aging, the eyes may not be able to communicate as effectively as we mature. If your upper or lower eyelids have puffy, dropping, or excess skin that make you appear sad or tired, cosmetic eyelid surgery may be right for you.

In order to remain on the cutting edge of plastic surgery and ensuring safe and exceptional care for his patients, Dr. Daniel Golshani Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon thoroughly evaluates new techniques before incorporating them into his practice. Dr. Golshani's practice includes the Rexford Surgical Institute (RSI), an AAAHC accredited state-of-the-art surgical facility, and Avosant Beverly Hills, a full-service medi-spa.

Face Lift in Beverly Hills

Los Angeles board-certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Hoefflin performs facelift surgery using the most advanced techniques, while placing the highest priority on patient safety and comfort. Dr. Hoefflin has lectured and interviewed on safety in outpatient plastic surgery operations.

Hereditary factors, personal lifestyle choices, and sun exposure all contribute to the aging process and changes in our facial appearance. As we age, important structural facial fat is lost or descends in our midface. This, together with the loss of elastic support in our skin can create excessive wrinkling and sagging skin. The result is a tired or drawn out facial appearance. Combined with the very fine lines from excessive sun exposure, the aging process becomes revealed. A facelift can correct these conditions and provide a more natural, youthful, and rejuvenated appearance.

Dr. Hoefflin performs the advanced endoscopic (camera-assisted) technique by placing small inconspicuous incisions within the scalp and the mouth that become invisible when completely healed. The procedure is usually performed as an outpatient under local anesthesia with deep sedation, and may take from 1 to 2 hours. In the properly selected patient, the result is a natural, youthful and rejuvenated midface without any signs of surgery. By rejuvenating the face from the cheek area down to the jowl and neck, this technique offers a rapid recovery, with patients often returning to routine activities within one to two weeks.

During your consultation, an individual facial analysis, along with digital photography, will allow Dr. Hoefflin to provide you with his professional expertise and recommendations for the type and placement of facial implants. Patient satisfaction after facial augmentation is usually very high, with long-lasting results. Patients can expect minimal postoperative bruising and quick recovery times.

Is A Filler Lift An Alternative To A Surgical Face Lift?

Many plastic surgeons believe that when the correct individual dermal filler, or in some cases, the correct combination of fillers to treat wrinkles, the results are very similar to those achieved from much more invasive procedures.

Dermal fillers widely accepted and used in modern cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic surgery procedures as an instant aesthetic treatment. A dermal filler treatment is one of a small number of cosmetic procedures that typically provide immediate results and a noticeable improvement and does not require down time like procedures such as a face lift.

These days there is a mind boggling number of choices when electing to have a dermal filler treatment. It is not an uncommon practice for a cosmetic surgeon to utilize a single type of filler to treat more than one area of concern.

New York Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr. Karyn Grossman states "Each individual dermal filler has qualities that differ from other fillers, and therefore provide different results. By utilizing multiple filler types to treat different areas of a patients face, and using the best filler for each treatment area, one can achieve the most beautiful and natural looking results possible."

Celebrity Face Lift Quick Recovery - Beverly Hills

The wonders of medical science stride forward daily, and the improvements to procedures and outcomes continue to impress. Just when you get used to the idea that your facial skin Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon and muscles can be tightened for a more youthful appearance, they find a way to cut down the recovery time for your facelift. According to Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Doctor Francis Palmer, "when the proper facial aesthetics are followed, the incisions [and] the tissue dissection can be limited which in turn means there will be smaller scars, less bruising and swelling and a shorter recovery time. This is the idea behind the creation of our 'Celebrity Lift™' that can make you look 10 years younger in less than 90 minutes with a recovery time that’s measured in hours, not weeks." The trick, says Dr. Palmer, "is addressing the central portion of the face, the cheeks. The nasolabial folds are reduced and the cheeks are properly shaped using cheek implants or fillers like Radiesse or Perlane."

Certainly a fast recovery to facelift surgery should appeal to socialites, celebrities, business persons; really, to anyone who wants to look younger and doesn't have the luxury of spending a month or two out of sight to heal. Another benefit Dr. Palmer points out is that, given reduced tissue dissection, "smokers and those with a long history of smoking may still be a candidate for this powerful, yet minimal incision facelift and necklift."

Achieve A Natural, Youthful Appearance

Often prospective facelift patients complain they look much more tired than they feel and are looking for a natural youthful appearance. Most patients do not want to look overdone or pulled. The key to looking natural after surgery is to tighten the underlying muscles of the face without much tension on the skin. The best facelifts do not distort the hairline behind the ears or sideburn in front of the ear. The earlobes should also be left in place without being pulled forward. The surgical incisions should be difficult to detect.

Who is Performing Your Face Lift?

A face lift is a procedure which, unfortunately, can be performed by any physician - whether adequately trained or not. Most states have very little regulation on this matter. Because of this, non-plastic - or so called "cosmetic" - surgeons can perform a face lift as well. In addition, some physicians who are legitimately board certified in other specialties, such as dermatology and gynecology, for example are performing "cosmetic" surgery even though they often have never had any formal residency training in the specialty of plastic surgery itself. Weekend courses abound and the patient is often confused as to which doctor to see.

What can a Face Lift do for you?

A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop this aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
