Facelift surgery is often performed to reverse the droopiness of skin affecting the eyelids, cheeks and neck.  Notice how much more rested, alert and energized the patients appear in their photos taken after their facelift procedures.  Often, patients undergoing facial plastic surgery state that they perceive their new appearance as better reflecting their perception of how they feel about themselves inside!  Dr. Perlman believes strongly in techniques that hide the incision lines and make them as minimally detectable as possible, giving his patients the best chance for a long lasting and natural appearance from their plastic surgery procedures.  Modern day facelift techniques include not only skin tightening, but lifting of the cheekpad and the SMAS in the face, and tightening of the platysma muscle in the neck.  All of our facial plastic surgery procedures, such as Facelifts & mini face lifts, are performed in our accredited and certified outpatient operating facility here in Beverly Hills, California.

Dr. Perlman also combines facelift and necklift with restoration of facial volume through the use of fat grafting.  Fat can be transferred from other areas of the body to the cheek prominences, cheek hollows, lips and/or the nasolabial lines (between the nose and the corner of the mouth) in appropriate patients to soften the skin and improve facial contour.  This reverses much of the hollowing of the face that occurs with aging as fat is lost in the cheek areas and increases in the jowl and neck areas.

All of our Los Angeles and Beverly Hills facelift patients spend at least one night after plastic surgery in a surgical aftercare facility located near our Beverly Hills office to assist in the early recovery process.  We will help you in making any necessary arrangements.

Facelifts generally require 2-3 weeks away from work to allow for resolution of swelling and a more natural and presentable appearance.  Bruising is significantly diminished or avoided with the use of fibrin glue at the end of your plastic surgery before the final sutures are placed.  This also reduces swelling after your facelift!
