5 Facial Plastic Surgeon Approved Alternatives to a Facelift

There is no treatment available that can best a skillfully done facelift surgery ideally designed for the patient’s unique anatomy and private aging changes. Many facelifts executed out there can still yield a cookie-cutter outcome where the outcome might look wonderful in one individual as well as not so fantastic in her buddy, even when executed by the same surgeon. Worse yet are instances where people too soon go under the knife to avoid aging modifications as well as wind up regretting their choice due to loss of their natural significance or identities.

For those wise, perceptive individuals that fear less than an optimal result from a “cookie-cutter” facelift surgery; for those who want to preempt the unavoidable aging adjustments without prematurely undergoing a facelift surgery; for those that formerly went through a facelift surgery and also dream update renovations without going through another surgery; for those that just do not have a week or longer to recover from a facelift surgery; for those that fear basic anesthesia or even twilight sedation; for smokers who face higher risk of problems from undertaking facelift surgery; for those who can not budget for a facelift surgery, there are finally tried and true, FDA approved options to a typical facelift surgery which Surgeons can give to their patients. In this post I will be talking about a few of the extra prominent options supplied at my facility.

The five choices to facelift surgery I utilize in my workplace are Thermage, Ultherapy, String lifting, Fillers, as well as 2 “Mini Surgery” treatments including 3-D quantity remediation as well as re-contouring utilizing fat transfer and also lower eyelid fat bag removal using transconjunctival technique.

Very typically these methods are made use of in synergistic mixes for the individual person’ s needs to accomplish optimum outcome. The combination utilized are based on understanding of the individual patient’s fundamental bony and also soft tissue physiological structure as well as precise analysis of the aging changes which have actually occurred. These aging changes can be usually associated to people age, ethnic history, and also genetical as well as environmental aspects.

Thermage and also Ultherapy are both power based lifting gadgets which work by sinking RF (Thermage) or Finder (Ulthera) power to heat up the collagen and also tighten the connective tissue listed below the skin. These are suitable in those people that really feel the collagen in their soft cells are obtaining also soft as well as being attracted downward, which can be really felt even in very early 30’s for some individuals. Both devices have enough subtleties that the Surgeon requires to be well versed in the ideal use the devices as well as in whom to match with which maker. These devices are favorites as stand-alone procedure in individuals that remain in their 30’s to 50’s. Frequently they are utilized combined with Botox as well as Fillers to accomplish better synergistic result.

In patients from 40’s as well as up that note sagging of mid-face with steady deepening of the tear trough, marionette, and nasolabial line in addition to appearance of the dreadful jowling as well as neck laxity, either Thermage or Ultherapy is suggested to tighten their native collagen in the soft cells. But to attain more training, string lifting utilizing either Shape Instalift or Novathread is advised. The trick to a successful thread lifting is understanding the nuances of the mechanism and stamina of the threads and producing appropriate vectors and supports to create a subtle however definite and all-natural lift. After conclusion of one side, patient is raised to a sitting setting so people can directly picture and contrast the lifted vs unlifted side as well as with their pre-operative photos. Because of virtually no bruising as well as swelling, some individuals resume their full tasks and return to function or eat out on the exact same day. However we ask our individuals to reserve a day or two to recoup just in case they face some swelling.

3-D face quantity restoration and re-contouring with fat transfer is also suggested if the patient also has considerable loss of facial quantity past the reaches of a few tubes of Fillers. In my facility fat transfer is typically done under neighborhood anesthesia and also due to almost no bruising, recovery is generally no more than a couple of days. If a client presents with lower eyelid puffiness which is severe sufficient to be seen even from throughout the area, reduced eyelid surgery can be carried out under neighborhood anesthetic with nearly no discoloration, allowing healing period to be no more than a couple of days to a week at many. Integrating these two “Mini Surgical” procedures in my repertoire of choices to facelift surgery is necessary in my method since in my point of view, the look of the fat bag under the eyes and loss of facial volume are really the initial signs of aging changes noticeable in patients as early as late 20’s as well as very early 30’s. Not a week passes by with individuals can be found in desiring some kind of “lifting” surgery as a result of their “weary” and “gaunt” appearance when in truth, lower eyelid surgery is what they required to eliminate their tired look because of puffy eye bags as well as volume restoration as well as re-contouring with fat transfer is what they required to rid of the gaunt and also lengthened appearance. This approach shares the same principle as the “fluid fit” utilizing fillers that many patients know with. If a few 1cc tube of fillers can be practical, envision what 30cc or 40cc of fat transfer can do in terms of recovering the shed volume and also re-sculpting and also re-contouring the face back to much more younger days. I feel truth sculpture in me is specified by what I can attain with my fat transfer.

I will go through a couple of patient scenarios I have actually encountered in the past few months.

Patient # 1 is a 61 year old lady that was available in wanting to look far better a week before her little girl’s wedding. She had a very busy week ahead of her so not even a day to recoup.
