Facelift

In Beverly Hills and serving the Los Angeles area

The aging process affects every individual differently. Genetic, environmental and gravitational forces have significant impact on the facial appearance. A face lift procedure cannot exclusively rely on surgery. The Comprehensive facial rejuvenation consultation will discuss non-invasive and surgical management tailored to each specific patient. Dermatologists, skin care specialists, anti-aging physicians and make-up consultants are utilized to enhance the overall experience and outcome. A systematic approach will be undertaken to address the face, eyes and neck in its entirety in order to obtain a balanced, natural and un-operated appearance.

The first part of the consultation will focus on preventative measures to slow down the aging process. The following considerations will be discussed:

• Anti-aging regimen
• Skin care consultation with professional aesthetician
• Sun protection regimen
• Tobacco cessation
• Initiate image consultation

The second phase of the consultation will address non-invasive procedures to improve the facial appearance. Many patients will not need any further surgical intervention. The options include:

• Fractionated laser resurfacing
• Soft tissue augmentation and fillers
• BOTOX®
• Collagen/Cosmoplast
• Restylane®
• Juvederm
• Sculptra
• Perlane
• Elevess
• Radiesse
• MFG facial rejuvenation
  (Multi-level Fat Grafting)
• Facial fat transplantation

The third aspect of the consultation will discuss areas of the face lift that will benefit from facial plastic surgical intervention. All regions of the face will be evaluated in order to achieve a balanced and aesthetically pleasing outcome. Surgical and non-surgical methods are often combined in order to get the optimum outcome in a face lift. The following regions and surgical options will be discussed:

• The brow-eye complex
  a. Blepharoplasty - plastic surgery of the eyes
  b. Brow lift - endoscopic forehead lift
• The mid-face and nasolabial fold region
  a. Facelift (rhytidectomy)
  b. Endoscopic midface lift
  c. Cheek lift
  d. Cheek implants (malar and submalar)
• The lower face and neck
  a. Facelift and Neck lift (rhytidectomy)
  b. Chin augmentation

The final phase of the face lift consultation process will involve professional make-up artists and hair stylists to enhance and optimize the results achieved through non-invasive and surgical methods. Camouflage techniques for the initial healing process will be discussed in order to allow the patient to return to normal daily activities as soon as possible. Skin care regimen with professional consultation will be continued.

• Image consultants
• Hair stylists
• Make-up artists
• Continue anti-aging regimen
• Continue skin care regimen and consultation

In conclusion, a face lift alone cannot be considered complete facial rejuvenation. A comprehensive approach must be utilized to obtain consistent results that are natural and long-lasting results. Please call Dr. Azizzadeh if you have any further questions.
