Why facelifta are popular and why we get asked questions about facial aging every day: we encounter family, the public and co-workers face-to-face every day. The earliest aging changes are therefore evident to us and to others. The earliest changes observed are around the eyelids and the jowl and neck. Although there are some in-invasive cosmetic procedures, like fillers, botox, lasers and creams which will give reasonable, if temporary, improvement, it is best to have the changes assessed and explained to you so that you don’t make expensive mistakes. There are times when an endoscopic browlift, upper and/or lower blepharoplasty, fat grafts and a facelift and necklift would give you the most long-lasting and pleasing results. Maintenance can then be done with simple non-invasive techniques.

A proper analysis with the unvarnished facts presented properly gives you the power to decide and, in the long term, will save you making mistakes. In this website, you will see analytical drawings and explanations, which give you an idea of how we approach facial analysis. Non-surgical and surgical techniques can be discussed, the the pros and cons assessed. This will give you the knowledge to decide what might be best for you. We use the latest techniques that involve deep-plane facelifts, use of nano fatgrafts, fractionated CO2 lasers and advanced techniques of improving jowls, jawlines and necks. These give us amazing long-lasting and very natural-looking results. Come in and see us and look at our results.

Dr. Bhupendra C. K. Patel MD, FRCS is world-renowned for his innovations in reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery procedures and has designed and published on his named Facelift, the Hammock Lift, the SMURF festoon correction technique, his cosmetic orbital decompression technique and many others. He provides consultations and procedures in Salt Lake City and St. George, Utah. Our European patients can see his team in London, England but many fly here for procedrues after Zoom or in-person consultations. Our specialty is performing all face and neck procedures, reconstructive and cosmetic. We have designed many surgical techniques including the amazing Hammock Lift, the SMURF lift for festoons, the Patel Lower Blepharoplasty, modified endoscopic brow lifts and others.

There are differences in the aging process in men and women. Some changes are more noticeable and concerning in men, others in ladies. Here you see the typical aging changes one sees in Caucasian males over six decades. Aging changes in Asians, Indians, and Africans are different over the same period. These differences in facial aging determine the possible treatments, which can be minimally invasive or more extensive in nature. Comprehensive facelifts (the PatelFacelift as designed by Dr. BCK Patel MD, FRCS) can yield beautiful results.

Sometimes, we are amazed at the degree of change that may occur in a face as seen in the photographs below. Compare that with the photos further below, where, although changes are present, the basic structures and anatomical landmarks look the same! This is why analysis and review of photographs from days gone by are important: there are many factors at play in the process of aging. Genetics, environment, habits, occupations, skin care, skin protection, jobs, stress, etc.

We design our facelifts after a careful analysis if the aging as seen but also by analyzing the features that looked good in younger days. The aim of the modern facelift is to make faces look more youthful, maintain individual features, but also improve upon some characteristics which may not have looked ideal even when younger: the modern facelift as performed by Dr. BCK Patel MD, FRCS

Although there is a predilection for people to choose rejuvenation procedures as if choosing from a menu, this is not always wise. One will see from the analysis below (and I have kept it simple by illustrating only the major anatomical points: there is a lot more to it!) that there is a relationship between the changes one sees. Therefore, when looking for changes or improvements, it is vital to understand the surface as well as the cross-sectional changes present, so that appropriate non-invasive or surgical techniques may be selected. Understanding skin anatomical and physiological changes has not even been addressed in this mainly anatomical analysis and demands a separate discussion.

REVIEW WHAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN PLANNING A FACELIFT AND NECKLIFT

In the sections below, you can review what is possible with individual procedures, although, as has been discussed, we would assess the surrounding structures to ensure that results are congruous with no tell-tale signs of surgery
