The History
The patient is a Beverly hills facelift patient who presents with the main complain of “ looking tired”. She is in her fifties.
The Procedures
The patient underwent a vertical facelift, cell-enhanced ( stem cell) facial rejuvenation, endoscopic minimally invasive brow lift, V.I.P. tension-free skin closure.
Comments:
The vertical vector of tissues repositioning creates a much more natural look then the traditional “horizontal” face lift . The cell-enhanced facial rejuvenation seems to improve the texture of the skin itself and the V.I.P. closure decreases the tension on the incisions allowing a better scar.

The History
45 years old Los Angeles face lift patient who looks really tired despite her young age
The Procedures
Vertical facelift and neck lift
Comment
The trend among Beverly hills facelift patients is for a subtle change. In this case the improved projection of the cheek’s area due to the unique vertical vector of tissue repositioning pis noticeable along with a more sculpted look. The lines of the neck have improved and overall result is a natural facial rejuvenation.
Options
Most of patients at her age would have opted for non-invasive alternatives like fillers. In her case, she has already enough volume in her face and fillers would have resulted in a unnatural look.

The results are drastic but natural. I older patients it is important to address all the aging structures of the face. Leaving out the neck, for example, would have created a mismatch between the upper and lower part of the face and a unnatural look.

The History
44 years old Beverly Hills facelift patient complaining of looking older that her age and not happy with her heavy cheek area.
The Procedure
Mini face lift – short scar
Comment
The patient looks like she has lost some weight and more rested. The volume has been shifted from the lower part of the face to the upper third creating a more triangular shape which is synonym of youth.
Alternatives
Again fillers are out of the question because of her already round face. Other non invasive modalities like thermage, fraxel or other laser procedures would have not been effective in shifting volume but only for tighten the skin. The short scar allows for a quick recovery and less visible option ideal for a younger patient.
