Facelift in Palo Alto
With age, for both women and men, the effects of gravity and repetitive muscle contraction result in changes to the soft tissues of the mid-face, jowl, and neck region. Face-lifting, as one of the nation's most common cosmetic procedures, corrects these changes, restoring a more youthful appearance to the face. Procedures including the full SMAS Facelift, Mini-Lift, Mid-Face Lift, and Neck Lift can address these signs of aging. The facelift may be combined with other procedures, such as Blepharoplasty, Brow Lift, or Chin Augmentation, either at the same time as the facelift or in a staged approach.
As with most cosmetic procedures, there are multiple choices for facial rejuvenation. Your areas of concern, either the mid-face, jowl, and/or neck, will help determine which procedure is most appropriate for you. During your consultation at The Plastic Surgery Center on Woodside, discussing your goals and limitations with Dr. Papalian will allow you to have all of the options presented, not just one. Both surgical and non-surgical rejuvenating techniques should be considered.
Dr. Papalian performs all of the latest lifting techniques, offering minimally invasive and limited scar options. An understanding of which procedure or technique best suits your particular situation will be developed together with Dr. Papalian.
When complete lifting of the mid-face, jowl and neck is desired, Dr. Papalian performs the full SMAS Facelift. This advanced-technique procedure involves tightening the facial and muscular structures, as well as skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance without the “wind-swept” look more common with the older “skin only” facelift. The priorities for Dr. Papalian, with all facial procedures that “turn back the clock”, are a natural and comfortable appearance, which is individualized and does not have the typical “post surgical look.” Experience and trust in your surgeon are critical elements for any procedure, but are most important when surgery is being considered on the face.
Having a comprehensive and trusted consultation by Dr Papalian, who has over 20 years of plastic surgery experience, will ensure you that you are going to have all of your options presented in a thoughtful manner. You will have all the information needed to make the right decision for you. At the time of Your Consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be developed.

When laxity exists in all the facial regions, patients typically benefit from a full SMAS Facelift. However, there is a subset of patients who do not require all facial areas treated.

These patients can enjoy a nice improvement with the more limited, minimal incision Mini-Lift. The Mini-Lift may be combined with other procedures, such as Blepharoplasty, Brow Lift, or Chin Augmentation, either at the same time as the Mini-Lift or in a staged approach.
