Anti-aging
Anti-aging refers to a range of medical and cosmetic procedures aimed at slowing down, preventing, or reversing the effects of aging. These treatments typically focus on reducing visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity, while also addressing underlying factors like collagen loss, skin elasticity, and volume depletion. Anti-aging treatments can include non-invasive procedures like Botox and fillers, as well as more invasive options like facelifts and stem cell therapy, depending on the desired outcomes.
Face Lift
A full face lift is a comprehensive procedure that involves lifting and tightening the underlying muscles of the face and neck, removing excess skin, and repositioning the skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance. The surgeon makes incisions along the hairline, around the ears, and sometimes under the chin. The skin is then lifted, and the underlying tissues are tightened before the skin is re-draped over the newly shaped contours of the face.

Neck Lift
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging skin, fat deposits, and muscle banding in the neck. The surgeon makes incisions around the ears and possibly under the chin to remove excess skin and fat, tighten the underlying muscles, and reposition the skin for a smoother, firmer neck and jawline.

Excess Skin Removal
This procedure involves the surgical removal of excess skin that has lost elasticity due to aging, weight loss, or other factors. It is commonly performed on the face, neck, or body to improve contour and reduce sagging. The surgeon removes the extra skin and repositions the remaining skin to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck. The surgeon makes small incisions and inserts a thin tube (cannula) to suction out the fat, resulting in improved body contours. It can be combined with other procedures like a tummy tuck or facelift for enhanced results.

Filler
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Common areas for fillers include the lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. Fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin. The results can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used.

Thread Lifting
Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure that uses absorbable sutures to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. The threads are inserted under the skin and pulled to achieve a lifting effect, stimulating collagen production in the process. The results are immediate and can last 1-2 years.

Pre- and Post-Surgery Guidelines
Before surgery
It's crucial to have a comprehensive medical consultation where you discuss your medical history, allergies, and expectations with your surgeon, and complete necessary medical tests like blood work and an EKG. You should stop taking blood-thinning medications, including aspirin and supplements, two weeks prior. Lifestyle adjustments such as quitting smoking and limiting alcohol are recommended. Keep your skin clean, well-moisturized, and protected from the sun. Finally, arrange transportation for surgery day and ensure someone can assist you at home post-surgery.
After surgery
Focus on rest and follow your surgeon’s specific post-op instructions carefully. Keep the surgical area clean, and avoid touching or applying pressure to it. Take prescribed medications, including antibiotics and pain relievers, as directed. Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery. Avoid strenuous activities, smoking, and alcohol, as they can impede healing. Ensure a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support the recovery process. If you notice any unusual symptoms or complications, contact your surgeon immediately.
