Orange County Facelift

Face Lift Long Beach – It’s difficult not to say the words “personal decision” when referring to any surgery, particularly Facelift Long Beach cosmetic surgery. Despite the increasing acceptance of cosmetic surgery procedures, there remain those who frown on the choice. Really, there should be only one opinion (that of the patient) which matters, and if that opinion is based on an informed comparison of the potential risks and benefits, who can find legitimate fault?

A counteractive procedure to the sagging and wrinkling which occur as skin loses its elasticity over time, facelift surgery may be combined with implants, soft tissue augmentation, and/or wrinkle reduction by injection to achieve your goals. Exactly what changes, and consequently incision scars, you have will depend on the personal consultation you have with your doctor before-hand. Long Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Marcel Daniels “goes to great lengths to listen to each patient and helps them select the procedure that has the best chance of meeting their expectations.”

Facelift Information

The neck lift procedure is designed for people who have excess fat around the neck, but have good skin tone and are not yet ready for a full face-neck lift. This operation includes liposuction of the neck, manual removal of fat underneath the muscles and tightening of the neck muscles under the chin. Excess skin cannot be removed with this procedure. If excess skin is the problem then a full face-neck lift should be done.

A one inch incision is placed just under the chin, and the skin is elevated off of the fat and muscle. A 3mm cushion of fat is left on the skin, and then liposuction is used to remove all of the remaining fat down to the muscle. De-fatting the neck is also done by manually removing fat from underneath the platysma muscle. Once the fat is removed, the muscles are tightened and any neck cords are released.

The incision is then closed with 3-4 sutures. Drains are also used to remove any excess fluid or blood and are removed in 1 or 2 days after the surgery.

Redefine Your Neck with a Neck Lift

A neck lift is usually part of a facelift but may be performed alone. The repair of the playsma muscles helps redefine the neck. Neck-lift procedures reposition and tighten skin that, through aging, has begun to sag.
Neck-lift procedures cannot eliminate all signs of aging. Although this procedure provides a more youthful appearance, the results usually decrease with time. Both genetic and environmental influences cause the face to show further signs of aging.
