Why Patients Love My Short Scar Facelift

, , , , , ,

I have been performing plastic surgery for decades and have developed some of my unique surgical methods and techniques during that time. The most notable of which being my signature short scar facelift procedure. Knowing that each person has their own unique facial anatomy and aesthetic concerns, it’s important to me to be able to provide additional procedure options to ensure that every patient I treat will be able to find a procedure option that is the best fit for them. My staff and I pride ourselves on this kind of flexibility and versatility in our work. To help people get to know this outstanding procedure option, I wanted to discuss the short scar facelift in more detail.

My short scar facelift is a minimally invasive version of traditional facelift surgery. During the procedure, I will make an incision (hidden in the patient’s hairline) that extends downward in front of the patient’s earlobe. This smaller incision means there will be less post-surgical scarring as well. Once this has been done, I am able to reposition the skin and soft tissue in the lower portion of the face. This creates a natural-looking lifting effect to the cheeks and jowls, that can rejuvenate the entire face.

In the following video, watch as I go into more detail on the short scar facelift and why my patients have come to love this procedure so much over the years:

I always tell people interested in plastic surgery to get familiar with all of their available procedure options. Doing so can definitely lead to the most satisfying plastic surgery experience and results over the long-term.

Addressing The Neck With Plastic Surgery Procedures

, , , , , ,

The options for neck rejuvenation are far more wide-ranging than many plastic surgery patients may realize and can often be performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. That’s because neck rejuvenation takes many forms. And determining the right cosmetic procedure for each patient’s needs depends entirely on the specific aesthetic issues that they want to correct. Excess, loose skin? Weakened muscles in the neck? Excess fat that creates the appearance of a double chin? Below, I go into more detail on the various neck enhancement procedures that I perform and the unique benefits that they can each provide to my patients.

Let me begin with neck lift surgery, a procedure that I have performed for years in order to help patients who experience excess skin and damaged or weakened neck muscles. The incision made during a neck lift is often in easy to conceal areas like around the ear or in the lower hairline. My signature short scar facelift can be used for patients concerned about the appearance of jowls and those who want a more sculpted, better-contoured jawline. In either case, liposuction of the neck can be performed with these procedures (or on its own) to remove the submental fat that creates the appearance of a double chin. And lastly, I offer Z-plasty neck lift surgery for patients who prefer this alternative to traditional neck lift surgery.

It’s important to re-state that while this isn’t the case for every one of these procedures, some neck rejuvenation surgeries can be performed in under an hour as outpatient procedures using only local anesthesia. In the video below, I discuss the neck enhancement surgeries that I perform:

I pride myself in being able to provide as many safe and effective procedure options as I can for my patients. Doing so is a big part of why I have been named a Top Doctor in Atlanta for so many years, including once again for 2024.

Let’s Talk About Neck Rejuvenation

, , , , ,

“What can I do to make my neck look younger?” This is among the most common questions that I hear from patients in my office. In the past, undergoing a facelift or a neck lift was often recommended to patients who wished to address sagging skin and lax muscles in their neck area. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other potential procedure methods or options available. Today, I wanted to focus on the Z-plasty surgery for the neck, a terrific option that many patients may not even be aware of.

Part of what is so unique about the Z-plasty is that, unlike other common neck rejuvenation procedures, I am able to perform it as an in-office procedure. During the procedure, I will make a small incision just underneath the chin, in a spot that is easily hidden from view. I am then able to effectively tighten the platysma muscles and remove any excess skin from the area, as well as excess fat that may be creating the appearance of a double chin. The result is a smoother and younger-looking neck contour, with a very straightforward and simple post-surgery recovery period.

In the video below, I go into more detail on my Z-plasty neck lift procedure and the unique benefits that it’s able to offer to patients trying to rejuvenate this area:

I’ve seen fantastic results with this surgical technique and can’t wait for even more patients to become familiar with the Z-plasty neck lift and the outstanding benefits that it can deliver. Being able to provide my patients with multiple procedure options to better fit their specific needs is a big reason why I’ve been named a Top Doctor in Atlanta for over 20 years.
