Step by Step

Consultation

During the consultation, a comprehensive medical history and physical examination will be conducted, with a thorough discussion of your goals. Photo documentation and 3D Visia Complexion analysis will be utilized to identify problem areas and aging patterns. A comprehensive treatment plan will be developed, tailored to your goals, timing, budget, and acceptable downtime. This includes a pre-operative skin care preparation plan and post-operative maintenance recommendations to optimize results and ensure longevity. Additionally, a pre-operative appointment will be scheduled to order medications and supplements, review informed consent, and provide detailed post-treatment instructions and care. 

Before The Procedure

Prior to the surgical procedure, general anesthesia is administered by a highly skilled and board-certified anesthesiologist for optimum comfort and safety. 

During The Procedure

During the procedure, an incision is skillfully made, that starts in the hairline at the temples, goes around the ear, and finishes in the lower scalp. Fat may be sculpted or redistributed from the face, jowls, and neck, while the underlying tissue is repositioned. This often includes lifting the deeper layers of the face and muscles. 

After The Procedure

After surgery, you may experience bruising and swelling. A professional maintenance program will be recommended to minimize downtime and maximize results. This program may include skin care, manual lymphatic massage and ultrasound, medical makeup, LED photo biosimulation, and other clinically proven options that improve patient outcomes.
