Imagine turning back the clock to reveal a refreshed, more youthful version of yourself. A facelift can help you achieve this by smoothing out wrinkles and enhancing your natural beauty. Dr. Ives performs a full deep plane facelift designed to specifically reduce laxity in your neck and jowl area while restoring your cheek and facial contours. This approach vertically elevates your skin and underlying tissue together, ensuring a natural and durable result while minimizing bruising and downtime. Dr. Ives tailors this procedure for your unique goals and anatomy, carefully hiding the incisions behind your hairline and along the edge of your ear. Your customized facelift will target the areas that bother you most, carefully sculpting the jawline, cheekbones, and neck to enhance facial harmony and create a rejuvenated appearance. A facelift can also be combined with other complementary procedures to optimize your results as part of the comprehensive treatment plan that Dr. Ives will create for you.
During the surgery, which is typically performed under general anesthesia, Dr. Graham Ives meticulously executes the deep plane technique, repositioning the deeper tissues of the face and neck. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily pull the skin, this method addresses the underlying muscle and connective tissue structure (SMAS), providing a result that is both dramatic and exceptionally long-lasting. Recovery is managed with personalized care from the IvesMD team, ensuring comfort and clear guidance on post-operative care. Patients often notice a significant reduction in bruising and swelling thanks to Dr. Ives's refined technique, allowing them to return to their normal activities sooner with their rejuvenated appearance.
