Common Questions & Answers about Face Lift Surgery (Rhytidectomy)
"I was wondering, how to get rid of my double chin? How long do they put you out for surgery? What are the risks? And how much does it cost? How long does it last. Can you exercise your chin and get the same results?"

This Cleveland, Ohio patient desired full facial rejuventation. She underwent a face and neck lift, endoscopic brow lift and lip augmentation via fat injection
This patient had several facial rejuvenation procedures beginning with Botox to the "scowl lines" in 2003. She began using the Obagi skincare system one year later. She underwent upper eyelid surgery and within four months decided to have a facelift and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). She has continued to maintain her appearance. She is happy with her more rested and natural facial appearance and does not have a "surgical" or artificial look. Her grandchildren say they can see her eye...

This is a Newport Coast female with excess skin of upper eyelids (pre-existing eyelid asymmetry), generalized facial and neck skin laxity.
8 months post-operative upper eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) with lower facelift/necklift
This patient is a great candidate for this procedure, as she is very thin without a lot of subcutaneous fat in the face, jowl area. Her result gives her a more well-defined jawline, as well as neck line. Importantly, she does not have any distortion around t...

This is a female Cypress patient with preoperative brow and facial/neck laxity
Postoperative Endoscopic browlift with lower face and neck lift.
This is a very conservative/ natural result in this patient. Notice the softening of her brow towards the outer part of the eyelids. Also, it is most important to note the improvement of the jawline (jowls), as well as the neck. A close-up look (side view) at the scar line should reveal that it is impossible to see the scars, even with digital magn...

51 year old Costa Mesa female with early eyelid and facial laxity
8 months post operative upper eyelid blepharoplasty with lower facelift.
For this patient, this constituted more of a "freshening up" of the face. She had yet to demonstrate significant aging changes, but she wanted early facial rejuvenation to "stay on top" of any changes that were occurring. She has a very natural result; again, notice that there is no distortion around the eyes or the mouth.

This is a 59 year old La Jolla female with significant upper facial and lower facial laxity, including eyelids and neck.
6 months post-operative upper eyelid blepharoplasty, lower face and neck lift with CO2 laser resurfacing of peri-oral region
This patient posed several challenges preoperatively. Most significantly, her neck was very full with a significant amount of excess skin, muscle, and fatty tissue. Pay particular attention to the side views. Overall, I was able to obtain a sign...

This is a Tustin woman with significant pre-operative facial and neck laxity.
Post-operative facelift/necklift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty
This patient had a significant amount of eyelid asymmetry pre-operatively. This is very common in many patients, and in many cases, can only be partially addressed with the operation. Her eyelid asymmetry is more related to her lower eyelid position (naturally), and I did not operate on her lower eyelids. The important thing to notice, again, is th...

51 year old Mission Viejo female with significant facial and neck laxity after losing over 130 lbs after gastric bypass
6 months post a facelift and necklift with bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelift)
This combination of procedures is fantastic for a patient of this type. She has obviously been very motivated in her weight loss efforts, and this has resulted in a tremendous amount of loose skin in her upper, middle, and lower face and neck. The natural appearance of the final re...
