(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Dr. Daniel Shapiro specializes in facelift in Phoenix, Arizona, at his private practice Shapiro Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Skin Klinic. He performs many different face lift techniques, allowing the procedure to be fully customized to the individual patient and their specific needs. These procedures can resolve facial issues that may be attributed to skin maturity or sun damage. As you can imagine, in a warmer climate such as Arizona, people are more prone to imperfections from unprotected exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
There are many ways the sun’s rays can negatively impact appearance. Commonly, this damage presents itself in telltale lines and wrinkles that age a person beyond their years. Sun damage is not always age-specific, as women as young as their twenties who frequently tan in beds or outside without sun protection can develop facial creases
A face lift is a great way to undo the cosmetic damage imposed by the sun’s rays as well as damage due to time, gravity, stress and environmental factors. During consultation for the facelift in Phoenix at Dr. Shapiro’s office, the doctor will go into detail about the different techniques available. In fact, he has over a dozen procedures from which to choose. Below each procedure is listed along with a brief explanation.
Full Face Lift
A full face lift rejuvenates the entire face through one surgery. Most commonly, the combined procedures that make up this single operation include a brow lift, eye lift, face lift, and neck lift.
Face and Neck Lift
A face lift and neck lift can be performed simultaneously to ensure a uniform reversal of the signs of aging. Often times, both features present issues for patients as the skin and muscle integrity can degrade similarly in these two areas.
SMAS Face Lift
In patients who seek long term results for extensive facial structure repairs, the SMAS face lift is an ideal option. Following the healing period, faces appear naturally youthful rather than altered for cosmetic purposes.
Mid Face Lift
The area from below the eyes to the cheeks constitutes what plastic surgeons refer to as the “mid face.” The mid face lift is designed to restore fullness and construct tighter skin in these areas.
Short Scar Face Lift
Commonly referred to as a cheek lift, limited incision face lift, or mini-face lift, this technique is best suited for people who exhibit the early stages of maturing facial features. The look of the cheeks and jawline are addressed during this procedure.
Limited Incision Face Lift
A face lift can be performed with an incision that does not fully extend up the hair line toward the temple and behind the ears. Rather, a limited incision face lift is performed through a surgical cut that follows around the lower part of the ear. Patients with moderate signs of aging are best suited to this version of the face lift.
Mini Face Lift
The mini face lift, also referred to as the cheek lift, was designed for patients with minimal signs of aging in certain areas of the face. The mini face lift will address sagging cheeks, the beginning signs of jowling, and pronounced nasolabial folds.
Fat Transfer to Face
The signs of aging can be visible on the face and neck in many ways. Contrary to the excess skin that diminishes the bone structure of the face, the absences of fat under the eyes and other areas of the face over-emphasizes the bones. The lack of fat can create a hollow, almost skeletal look, and replenishing fat to these areas helps to restore the patient’s looks from youth.
Facial Fat Grafting/Stem Cell Face Lift
Facial fat grafting can be performed as an autologous fat transfer (in which case it is also termed a stem cell face lift). During this two-part procedure, a patient’s own fat is first removed from another area of the body to restore facial areas lacking in volume. Because the patient’s fat is used, most reactions can be avoided.
Facial Liposculpture
Facial liposculpture is a technique of facial liposuction that utilizes delicate cannulas to remove unwanted pockets of fat from the face. This tissue can be eliminated from areas such as under the eyes, the jowls, and the neck.
Buccal Fat Pad Removal
The buccal fat pad is a part of a normal face’s anatomical structure, located just below the cheekbones and extending to the outer corners of the mouth; however, mature skin can increase the prominence of this pad. Partial or full removal of these fat pads can promote a sleeker facial structure.
Non Surgical Face Lift
This procedure is performed just as the title implies – non-surgically. Based on the patient’s needs, Dr. Shapiro can tailor a treatment plan to include any combination of laser therapy, injectable filler sessions, and therapeutic toxin injections, among other techniques.
