1. How do you develop a facelift plan for each client?
I treat every individual like a unique work of art. Developing a procedure plan begins with listening to my patients to establish their goals while customizing a plan specific to their desires and needs. My 20 years of experience, extensive training, and artistic background provides me with the superior skills necessary to accomplish their aesthetic goals.
2. How and where is the procedure performed?
All of our procedures are performed in our state-of-the-art, fully accredited surgical facility. Designated as the first Center of Excellence in plastic surgery in the United States, our facility features the very best in equipment and patient care and truly focuses on patient safety.
3. About how long do the procedure and recovery take?
Depending on the chosen procedure, cosmetic facial surgery can take 1-4 hours, and recovery time usually ranges from 3-10 days.
4. What type of results can be expected?
Facelift surgery involves balancing out the individual features of the face to create harmony so that each patient has improved balance for natural, long-lasting results. Being able to combine multiple surgical methods with cutting-edge technology allows me to maximize my surgical results while minimizing scarring and ultimately providing the patient with quicker recovery.
5. What is your philosophy when it comes to caring for your patients?
My philosophy is simple: “Less is more, and treat each and every patient like family.” Patients today want noticeable, natural results with minimal downtime. With the best in surgical technology, I can offer my patients natural results with less invasive scarring and markedly diminished recovery times.
