Not ready for a full face-lift
procedure? Consider the "Mini-Facelift”
performed exclusively by Dr. El-Attar. The mini-facelift
utilizes a small
incision under local anesthesia and has a one week recovery
period.
The "Band-Aid" facelift gives an instant younger
appearance.
Often called the “weekend facelift,” the S-Lift decreases
signs of aging
in the face, neck and jaw areas, and best benefits those
with excessive
skin laxity or deep wrinkles. Skin is tightened with resurfacing
laser
treatment, muscles are tightened with a loop suture, and
skin is lifted
and re-laid along the cheeks and jaws. Fatty deposits are
removed or
repositioned and excess skin is tightened through an incision
that runs in
front of the ears, and into the scalp.
Recovery time from
an S-Lift is about a week, and discomfort is significantly
less intense than that of a traditional facelift. Mini-facelifts
carry fewer risks than traditional facelift procedures
because they are less invasive and can be performed under
local anesthesia instead of general.
