Face Lift
(New!) Feather LIFT™ : Silhouette Sutures
This procedure is ideal for candidates that are in need of a lift to the jowls, lower face and brow but are not ready for a full surgical face-lift. A thread lift can achieve the youthful look you want with the minimal downtime and high cost of traditional surgical face-lifts.
Using Silhouette Suture™ this innovative new method targets sagging tissue, especially in the brows, cheeks and midface. We can reposition the brow and soften the appearance of jowl, and in some cases may be used to tighten the neck.
The threads are made of permanent polypropylene with fine anchors that is made of a bioabsorbable material that help hold sagging skin in place. For many patients, Silhouette Suture™ provide the dream of a facelift without scars and surgery. Ideal candidates for this procedure are 35-65 years of age. Feather LIFT™ : Silhouette Sutures has FDA approval.
| Features | This is an in-office procedure done under a local anesthetic, taking less than an hour. The lift is accomplished using a molded corned self-anchoring and adjustable suture that is strategically placed below the skin. These special sutures have a needle system that inserts the threads in the treatment area. The molded cornes then act to lift the facial tissues and anchor it in a re-suspended more youthful location. Down time is minimal and our patients usually return to normal activities the following day. Some patients may experience some mild to moderate swelling and bruising or headache. This is easily controlled with over the counter medications. |

Neck Lift
In time, gravity, sun exposure, and the stresses of daily life take their toll on our faces: deep creases appear beside the mouth, the jaw line slackens, and folds and fat deposits appear on the neck. Facelifts counteract these problems by removing fat and tightening skin and muscles, giving your face a fresher, youthful look. Incisions are made in inconspicuous places such as behind the hairline and in natural folds of the face and ears, and scars fade to near invisibility in time. After surgery, some patients appear 10-15 years younger.
| Features | A neck lift or chin liposuction is performed to remove excess fat beneath the chin and tighten loose skin in the neck. A less invasive alternative to a facelift, the procedure can produce dramatic results in the patient whose chin and/or neck has sagged with age or after weight loss. |
