Facelift Beverly Hills

During the aging process, the soft tissue in your face loses its elasticity, and you will notice this by the appearance of wrinkles and changes in the overall shape of your face. Most people also lose bone and soft tissue volume which further accentuates these changes, resulting in signs of facial aging and a tired appearance.

Facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) is performed to improve the signs of facial aging. You don’t have to be a celebrity or excessively vain to desire a more youthful look. Most people are working a lot longer than they used to, and it is necessary to look youthful and rested to maintain competitiveness in the workforce.

A full facial analysis will be performed during your consultation. We will evaluate your forehead, eyes, cheeks, jowls, neck, and skin quality. This is important to create a balanced, favorable result. To balance the upper and lower face, you may also benefit from eyelid surgery. To really get that youthful glow, you will also need to take good care of your skin by beginning a skin care program, have a facial peel, or get a laser treatment.

During a facelift, an incision is hidden around the ear and along the hairline. These scars usually hide very well and most people will not see the scars during normal interactions, unless they are specifically looking for them or you point them out. The extra skin is removed and redraped without an unnatural, overly tight look. Under the skin, the SMAS, or facial muscles are elevated to a more youthful location. Different vectors are used to reposition the facial tissues. If you have a significant amount of soft tissue volume loss, fat can be transferred to your face to restore this volume loss. The fat is harvested from your body through liposuction techniques from stubborn areas that don’t respond to exercise.

You will have a dressing on for the first few days and then you will need to wear a chin strap for about 2 weeks. You can expect facial bruising and swelling, and the recovery time is about 2 weeks. After surgery, we recommend that you begin walking the same day to reduce your risk of complications. Light cardio exercises may be resumed after about 2 weeks, and strenuous exercise and lifting may be resumed after about 4 weeks.

Facelift is real surgery and carries a small risk of complications. Risks of surgery include bleeding, infection, scars, contour irregularity, asymmetry, numbness, and injury to the facial nerve. Dr. Dass performs surgery in an accredited surgical facility to maintain the highest standards for safety. During your consultation, we will discuss your specific risks of surgery.

We’re here today visiting a Doctor Dennis Dass, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, with his lovely patient Tiffany. Tiffany had a facelift with Doctor Dass about three years ago. She’s here to show us with wonderful results. This is Tiffany just three years ago. Tiffany, let’s see How you look now? Beautiful. So, Tiffany tell us, what made you decide to have a facelift?

A few years ago I started noticing that my neck sags a lot and I have a lot of fat in my neck and my eyes start drooping a lot and then the the worst part was people start treating me like an older person.

What happened?

Well You know they start calling me ma’am, Madam and even the men start calling me ma’am and Madam I didn’t like that.

Nobody likes that, So, what did you do?

So, I started to do research to to look younger and I did some Botox and filler. A filler was good, but then as I got older it doesn’t work as well. So, I did research on plastic surgeon to find a doctor to get my facelift.

So, you found Doctor Dass?

So, I found doctor that online and I decided to have a consultation with him because you know, meeting the Doctor who do surgery on me is very important. I’d like to meet that doctor, before I decided to get the procedure done, but as he greet me, I I felt really comfortable with him right away and then the way he talks the way he explained everything to me I felt like he’s my friend and someone that I can trust.

Well, Tiffany got a typical story. Most people notice signs of ageing in the eyes and the neck. So, those are the two areas we really have to Address really well. So, the goal in Tiffany was to create a more youthful face and that involved improving the sagging Neck and the jowls. What I did was a traditional facelift incision and with the deeper tissue, I repositioned the jowls back into the cheeks And then the skin was repositioned in a natural vector towards the ear and it’s really important to hide the scar within the ear and prevent it from causing any sort of distortion here along this what we call the tragus and also that earlobe, and then that scar is just hidden back into the hairline. On the eyelids, the upper eyelid bagginess or the sagginess is removed, and that scar hides really nicely and on the lower eyelid the scars positioned right at the hairline, so it’s not even seen, and that improves the bags or the puffiness and the lower eyelids. To fully address the eyelids we also have to do a brow lift, to nicely frame the eyes, and that scar is placed nicely into the hairline also, so it’s well hidden, and to finish off the final product, I did a CO2. Laser resurfacing of the entire face and what that does is it improves fine wrinkles and texture and pigment and gives a skin A really beautiful glow.

One of the most Important factors to consider when planning the facelift?

I think the most important thing is to individualise the treatment so that we address everything that the the patient is concerned about and also create a balanced result, so the result is very natural appearing.

Well, Tiffany, you look beautiful. I don’t think anyone going to be calling you, Madam Any longer,

Not anymore. I’m so happy with the result. I looked very very natural. I’m very happy. With the result And I had so many compliments that I look more beautiful And younger looking. The whole experience with Doctor Dass was so great from beginning to end. He was so gentle and super nice and friendly and he doesn’t treat me just like a number. I felt very comfortable and I trusted him fully. I’m so grateful with what Doctor Dass done and I would recommend this to anybody who want to look natural, younger, beautiful looking. He is number 1.
