Many Options
What is a Facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure that involves lifting, trimming, and tightening the skin and tissues of the lower face and neck via discreet incisions near the ears or in the hairline.
Anyone experiencing sagging and loss of tone in the lower face and neck may benefit from a facelift, which tightens, sculpts, and smooths these areas. The result is a beautifully refreshed, more youthful appearance. Facelifts are highly customized to the patient, so surgical techniques can vary. Dr. Bolourian is well-versed in the most innovative approaches, including his signature ContourLift, which he developed to deliver comprehensive results with a shorter recovery time.
ContourLift
The ContourLift is double board-certified surgeon Dr. Bolourian’s signature approach to the facelift. By addressing multiple signs of aging in a single minimally invasive procedure, the ContourLift delivers overall rejuvenation while reducing your total recovery time. From surgically tightening lax muscles and removing areas of unwanted fat to resurfacing your skin using our Sciton laser, your ContourLift procedure will be customized to give you outstanding, comprehensive results.
Additional Reading
Benefits of a contour lift:
- Refresh the lips and eyes
- Tighten sagging jowls
- Define and lift the cheeks
- Smooth and lift the neck
- Minimize laugh lines
- Fade age spots and sun spots
- Tone and tighten the skin
Dr. Bolourian performs the ContourLift as an outpatient procedure using local anesthesia with twilight sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preferences.
SMAS Facelift
The superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) is the layer of tissue that connects the skin of the face and neck to the underlying muscles. In an SMAS facelift, the skin and SMAS of the face and neck are lifted together. This differs from a deep plane facelift, in which your surgeon adjusts the skin, SMAS, and underlying fat and muscles separately, meaning each layer may be drawn in slightly different directions for more targeted sculpting. The SMAS facelift generally requires smaller, more discreet incisions and a shorter recovery time.
Additional Reading
A deep plane facelift is more invasive and typically requires a longer recovery, but the results may be more dramatic and long-lasting. On the other hand, the results of an SMAS facelift may be desirable for a patient seeking a softer, subtler transformation. The decision of which technique is best for your needs is one you and your surgeon make together. Dr. Bolourian spends ample time talking with you and analyzing your unique facial structure to assess your options. He will help you create a surgical plan you feel confident in and deliver results that exceed your expectations.
Mini Facelift
Individuals with less advanced sagging may benefit from a mini facelift, which uses smaller incisions than a traditional facelift and generally requires a shorter recovery. A mini facelift draws the underlying tissues of the lower face and neck upward, providing targeted contouring of the lower face, chin, submental area, and upper neck.
Deep Plane Facelift
In the deep plane facelift technique, your surgeon accesses the underlying layers of fat and muscle, lifting and suturing them into a higher position before draping the skin over the lifted subdermal layers. Unlike older methods, which tightened the skin but did not correct underlying structures, a deep plane facelift addresses sagging at every level, with results that last longer than older methods and look more natural.
Facelift for Men
Women aren’t the only ones who can enjoy the benefits of a facelift. More men than ever have discovered the advantages of a facelift for men. As an expert who has performed hundreds of facelifts, Dr. Bolourian is attuned to the unique differences between the male and female facial anatomy and knows how to create a rejuvenated, youthful look while maintaining a more masculine profile.
Revision Facelift
Although it is the longest-lasting approach to facial rejuvenation available, even a facelift cannot permanently fend off the effects of time and gravity. A revision facelift, also known as a secondary facelift or secondary rhytidectomy, can be performed by a highly skilled surgeon like Dr. Bolourian to restore a smoother, more sculpted lower face and neck in people who have had a facelift in the past. Dr. Bolourian also performs revision facelifts to correct the results of a previous procedure you are unhappy with, giving you the ideal outcome you desire.
What are the Benefits of a Facelift?
One Beautiful Result
Want to feel pride in your appearance? Having a facelift performed by a highly skilled surgeon can transform your outlook and provide benefits in many areas of your life. You may have a better self-image, increased self-esteem, and feel more confident taking on social, family, or work responsibilities. Our Mission Viejo facelifts can also save you time, effort, and money spent on other rejuvenation treatments with shorter-lived effects.
Additional Reading
To summarize, here are a few key benefits of a facelift Mission Viejo board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Reza Bolourian, administers:
- Lifts, smooths, and sculpts the entire lower face:
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Under chin (submental area)
- Neck
- Results last ten years or longer
- May be performed with another procedure like a brow lift or blepharoplasty
- Performed using the latest, most innovative techniques
- Completely customized for you
There is no “right” age to have a facelift. If you are troubled by sagging skin, jowls, or loss of tone in your neck, chin, lower face, and cheeks, a facelift or mini facelift may be an excellent option for you.
