Our face is who we are and the most visible part of our body. Aging is mostly noticed in the face. These changes include loss of volume (fullness), descent of the soft tissues, jowling, skin changes and lines. A number of surgical and nonsurgical procedures and treatments are available to reverse these changes. Facelift: A facelift tightens the skin and elevates the soft tissues to achieve a more youthful appearance. Facelifts can treat all areas of the face or smaller areas. The incision can extend into the temple and behind the ears, but is mostly hidden and minimally visible. During a facelift, the skin is tightened and the extra skin removed. Dr. Samimi also addresses the deeper structures of the face by elevating the underlying muscles and soft tissues. This not only creates a more natural appearance, but also provides a much longer lasting result. Typically, he will use also use liposuction to treat the neck area. Browlift: Brow ptosis (droop) is a common finding in both women and men. High, lateral brows are considered a sign of youth and also create the impression of being more alert. A browlift will reposition the brows to above the bony ridge of the brow in women and to the level of the bony ridge in men. Dr. Samimi will most often use an endoscope for this procedure, limiting the scar to three, very small (about 1/2 inch) incisions in the scalp.
