| Facelift
In the San Francisco Bay Area, facelift (rhytidectomy) is one of the more commonly performed elective procedures in facial plastic surgery. The goal of the surgery is to enhance the appearance of the aging face and neck by tightening the sagging tissues of the face and neck. A proper facelift does more than tighten the skin--the modern deep-plane facelift, as performed by Dr. Sam P. Most, improves contour by repositioning the tissues of the face that have descended with time and gravity. As can be seen below, it is both a "neck" and "face" lift, as both areas are addressed. So, a facelift will rejuvenate primarily the lower 1/2 of the face, the jawline and the neck.
For more before and after photos, click any picture above. Facelift is often cited as turning back the clock about 7-10 years in the lower face and neck. The results are permanent in the sense that the neck and jawline will always appear tighter than if there had been no surgery. The Procedure The procedure can be done awake or asleep. Dr. Most recommends that for patient comfort and safety, this procedure be done asleep. Incisions are placed in front of and behind the ear. Dr. Most uses the most meticulous technique on his incisions. Many hairdressers have complimented Dr. Most's patients on their hard-to-find incisions. See if you can find them in the photo gallery, above. Recovery period Patients may expect 2-3 weeks of swelling in the cheeks and neck. Some patients recover more rapidly, some may take a few days longer. Why should I choose Dr. Most? As a double-certified Otolaryngologist and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Most is uniquely qualified in surgery of the face. Dr. Most has many years experience and has served as Chief of Facial Plastic Surgery at two of the top medical centers in the United States. As of July 1, 2006, he is Chief of the Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University. A leader in the field, he has received national awards for his work. He performs hundreds of facial plastic surgery procedures each year. His patient comments reflect his personal philosophy for excellence. Most recently, Dr. Most was elected by his peers for inclusion in Best Doctors in America for 2007-8. I am interested! What is the next step?
