Top 5 Benefits of the FACEology® Lift

Do you ever look in the mirror and wonder why you don’t look the way you feel? Have you ever thought about cosmetic surgery or getting a face and neck lift. Dr. Lee has performed thousands of facelifts on patients who desired a younger more youthful appearance. While some are fearful that a facelift will make them look “windblown” or different from their natural appearance, Dr. Lee’s patients are a testament to his surgical artistic skill in making his cosmetic facelift patients look younger, rested, and a better version of themselves.

1. Tighten and Redefine Your Neck

As we age, the skin in our face begins to sag, droop and wrinkle. Sometimes, these changes can make men and women feel as if they look years, or even decades, older than they actually are, or more importantly, feel inside. One of the most common complaints patients make about their aging face is that the skin under their chin and on their neck is loose. Many patients wear high collar shirts or turtleneck shirts and sweaters to hide these features. Patients report they don’t want to take pictures due to their “flabby” or “turkey” neck. The good news is that this is just a temporary problem that can be addressed with the FACEology® Lift.

2. Lose those Jowls For Good!

For many patients, hanging jowls have become a significant issue complicating their self confidence.These can be removed for good with the FACEology® Lift, giving you a sleeker tighter jawline and slimmer look. Dr. Lee will carefully sculpt and restore your jawline to a sharp, natural position without a pulled or unnatural appearance.

3. Tighten Up Sagging Skin

As we get older, a loose skin envelope or sagging skin can be a telltale sign of aging. After a certain point, all the anti-aging creams you can rub on your face to tighten up your skin will not counter the effects of the sun, time, and volume loss. When Dr. Lee performs the FACEology® Lift, he will tighten the deep neck and facial muscles allowing for the removal of excess skin without ‘pulling’ the skin tightly causing tension on the incision line. The results are a smooth youthful appearance without a tight or pinched look. The final result is a rested, youthful appearance that makes you look younger without looking ‘operated on’. Dr. Lee’s experience and skill in cosmetic facelift surgery results in a natural look, without excessive swelling or a long post-surgical recovery period.

4. Eliminate Deep Creases

Deep wrinkles and lines can make many patients feel self-conscious. Aging can result in the loss of volume and tissue structure leaving a face and neck that appears tired and worn Dr. Lee will restore the deep tissue structures to their proper position and augment with fat or fillers to compensate for any volume loss in the aging face. The result is a facelift that softens the nasolabial lines and restores volume so that patients look naturally younger than their actual age.

5. The ‘Unoperated On’ Look

Aside from the fear of looking ‘windblown’ or unrecognizable, many patients who would benefit from the FACEology® Lift are afraid that by doing so, other people will know that they’ve had work done. Dr. Lee’s approach is to make you look like the best possible version of yourself. Not only does he work to maintain the facial features that make you uniquely you, but also with surgical skill and experience places your incisions in your hairline and closes them meticulously so that scarring is minimal and not noticeable. The final result is a younger, natural version of yourself without an overstretched or ‘operated’ look.
