Results

A facelift or neck lift can produce miraculous results. If you’re interested in these leading edge procedures, the following results are available to be had:

• Tighter and smoother neck, with a restored neck angle
• Minimized or eliminated jowls, restoring a smooth lower jaw
• Diminished nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Smooth skin on the cheeks and neck with less wrinkles
• Generally refreshed appearance in the face and neck

Lasting results

While no plastic surgery treatment is yet permanent, we are fast approaching techniques that will deliver permanency. A facelift or neck lift are both techniques that rank higher on the temporary-to-permanent scale. Patients report results that last a number of years after surgery, sometimes deciding to have a touchup several years down the line.

Receiving either or both of these techniques will reverse the clock, but the aging process unfortunately cannot be stopped. The exact length of results varies from patient to patient, depending upon physiology and genetics. Some develop the signs of aging more quickly, while others age at a slower rate. Regardless of the aging process, there is no doubt that you will experience a more rejuvenated appearance at any point in the future than you would without surgery.

Technique

During a facelift or neck lift, the incisions are placed where they can be hidden by your hair or behind your ears. The exact dimensions and location of the incisions will be thoroughly discussed before the procedure is begun, and will depend upon your face and neck structure as well as your cosmetic goals.

During the surgery, Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants will use his mastery of facial anatomy to give the perfect level of tightness to your skin. He will not be overly ambitious, giving you a waxy, overdone look that wipes all expression from your face. Instead, he will use subtlety and artistic excellence to restore your natural lines and inherent beauty.

A facelift and neck lift are done using local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthetic depending upon your exact circumstances. These options will be discussed in totality to give you all your options, ensuring your safety and comfort with the procedure being performed.
