Throughout the years, plastic surgery has progressed and new techniques have been developed. Depending on the patient, I may use one of several techniques when performing a facelift in Winter Park.

One technique that I recommend for deep lifting is the SMAS facelift, which stands for superficial muscular aponeurotic system. This technique concentrates on the thin, underlying connective tissue layer below the skin. By lifting both the muscle and skin, I am able to create a very natural appearance and avoid the “pulled” or windblown look associated with facelifts decades ago.
I also perform “mini” facelifts, which are meant for less extreme lifting than the SMAS technique due to the smaller incisions required. With diminished scarring, less bleeding and a shorter recovery, mini facelifts are a particularly good choice for younger patients.
These procedures are being safely performed in my beautiful Winter Park office under local sedation, helping my patients achieve their desired results at a much more affordable cost.
No matter what technique you are considering, remember one important point: this is your one and only face. Choose wisely when selecting a surgeon, and do your homework so that you can be satisfied with your results.
