| The Refresher Lift: A Natural Face Lift
for All Seasons
The Refresher Lift is the cornerstone procedure of our modular
approach to facial rejuvenation. As part of the natural aging
process, the skin and muscles of the lower face and neck lose
elasticity, resulting in jowls and a poor neck contour. No
technology can rival our signature procedure,
The
Refresher Lift, in returning freshness and youthfulness to an
aging or tired looking face. This procedure is performed on an
outpatient basis under intravenous (local) or general
anesthesia.
Our state of
the art Refresher Lift has recently been enhanced by the
addition of stemcell boosted fat micro grafts the Stemcell
Refresher Lift. During this procedure, the surgeon harvests fat
(usually from the lower abdomen) and uses a centrifugation
process to separate the adult stem cells from the extracted fat.
These extracted stem and regenerative cells from the less useful
remaining fluid are gently mixed with new fat collected for the
microinjection procedure.
These cells
are re-injected mixed with fresh fat cells below the facial skin
which not only helps to recreate the fullness of youth, but also
promotes skin healing and rejuvenation. Look carefully at the
skin texture of a post face lift. The skin is glowing and has
the look and feel of much younger skin due partly to the action
of the stem and regenerative cells.
Our
state-of-the-art Refresher Lifts are performed by uplifting and
enhancing the cheek area, reducing jowls and saggy neck skin
with extremely discreet and limited incisions. Also, the volume
restoration provided by the incorporation of a cheek lift and/or
fat injections provides a remarkably natural and youthful result
as compared to the often stretched look of classical facelifts.
In addition, associate procedures such as brow lifts, eyelid
lifts, neck pilcation, and lip enhancements are often performed
simultaneously to fulfill your specific needs.
After the
surgery, some swelling and bruising can be expected and normally
subsides within a week or two. Most sutures are removed between
five to ten days, while residual bruising can be covered by
camouflage makeup to shorten the time required before one can
resume social activities. The discomfort after the surgery is
usually well-managed by medications prescribed by our
doctors and rarely lasts longer than 3 to 4 days.
Other
associated procedures that are performed along with a face lift:
peel, nose correction, chin implants, fat injections, among
others -- all giving the face a fully rejuvenated look.
