The Balance of Beauty

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BEAUTY MATRIX
Facelifts are a powerful way of addressing all the components of aging (Skin Quality, Skin Laxity, and Volume) in a single procedure. The choice of whether you are a good candidate for a facelift depends on personal aging philosophies as well as the problem areas you are trying to address. Dr. Christie utilizes a number of techniques in surgical facial rejuvenation, including:

1. Deep plane facelift
2. SMAS facelift
3. Mini-facelift

In reality, what looks good on a friend or an influencer may not work for your face. We customize techniques for each patient to deliver a natural result that feels authentic to you.

A Deeper Approach

WHAT IS A DEEP PLANE FACELIFT?
A deep plane facelift (Rhytidectomy) focuses on the suspension of the deeper layer of muscle and fascia instead of skin pull and removal. The biggest power of the deep plane facelift is the lifting under the muscle layer leaving the skin attached for a natural redraping of all the facial soft tissue and a more powerful mid-face lift.

What is a
Mini-lift?
A mini-lift or mini face lift is part of a preventative aging strategy, and it entails parts of a face or neck lift to correct early signs of facial aging. The best candidate for this lift is a typically younger patient with minimal laxity and good skin quality and looking for a gentle correction early in the aging process. This is also an ideal procedure for patients who have already had a facelift and are looking for refinement of results or resetting of progressive aging. A mini-lift is ideal for patients who are experiencing “filler or botox fatigue.” A mini-lift is also an ideal procedure for professionals with busy schedules looking for rejuvenation with limited recovery.

Let Dr. Christie guide you on your aesthetic journey by scheduling your Deep Plane Facelift consultation today. We service Los Angeles, Orange, and Santa Barbara counties in West Hollywood.

What is a SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) Facelift?

A SMAS facelift separates the skin layer from the SMAS and in the right candidate, allows different vectors of suspension. This is the most commonly performed technique worldwide. This is a less invasive technique compared with the Deep Plane Facelift. A SMAS Facelift is ideal for patients who are considering a facelift but do not want to look like they have had work done. This technique focuses on the lower third of the face and jawline.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A DEEP PLANE FACELIFT?
The most significant benefit of a facelift is the ability to address all the components of aging. Facelifts suspend the jowls, remove deep wrinkles, and redrape soft tissue back into anatomic position, enhancing jawline contours and restoring an overall more youthful face shape and soft tissue positioning. The ideal candidate for a facelift (whether deep plane or traditional) is a patient who has moderate to severe laxity, favorable scarring, and is looking for a more powerful rejuvenation.

One of the benefits of surgical intervention is the power for a definitive, longer-lasting result that gets to the core components of the aging process of the face. Dr. Christie strongly supports not over-treating and listens carefully to ensure your treatment plan helps you reach your personal goals. Your consultation will always include an open and honest talk about what treatments help you reach your goals and achieve subtle, natural-looking results. During your consultation, Dr. Christie determines which procedures will help you reach your goals and achieve subtle, natural-looking results.

Optimized Beauty

Combining additional facial rejuvenation procedures during your facelift oftentimes makes sense in Dr. Christie’s customized beauty strategy. Facelifts are often paired with other facial operations, including a brow lift, fat grafting, lip lift, and eyelid surgery, for a complete facial rejuvenation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The best facelift technique is one that both you and your surgeon feel comfortable executing to achieve your desired results. This discussion is best in-person during your consultation as there are many factors that contribute to choosing the best technique, including age, amount of laxity, ethnicity, skin quality, unique anatomic considerations, and long-term goals.
Combination procedures are routinely performed at the same time as a facelift. Facelifts are most often combined with neck lifts as the laxity is generally continuous from face to neckline, and surgical visualization and access to structures of the face are exposed at the time of a facelift. Other procedures that may be combined include upper face rejuvenation procedures such as eyelid rejuvenation, brow lifts, fat transfer, or skin resurfacing. A customized plan based on your goals, downtime, and problem areas will be discussed during your consultation.
Facial rejuvenation should enhance your natural features without completely changing the way you look. Dr. Christie believes strongly in maintaining your own identity and not following trends to enhance the natural aging process. Dr. Christie often recommends a staged approach to facial rejuvenation for optimal results.
As with any surgery, a deep plane facelift has risks, such as potential numbness, bleeding, tingling, scarring, hair loss, and damage to the facial nerves. With procedures like this, expertise and artistry matter, which is why choosing a double board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Christie is so important.

During your consultation, Dr. Christie will review these risks with you. She will review the specific measures that can be taken before, during, and after surgery to minimize these risks and improve your chances of the outcome you want for your face.
Typically mini-lifts are performed in the office under local or under twilight sedation. The goal is to resuspend segmented areas of the face and/or neck that show early signs of the facial aging process. One of the big benefits of a mini-lift is a minimal incision, shorter recovery time, and fewer risks.
Downtime will vary from person-to-person and is dependent on a number of medical factors as well as combination procedures performed. In general, you are able to return to activity within two to four weeks.
Downtime is typically one week for a mini-lift. Permanent external sutures are removed within 5-7 days. Patients can expect mild bruising and swelling during this first week.
Dr. Christie hides the incisions within the natural curves of the ear and takes pride in barely visible incisions using combination strategies post-operatively to achieve excellent results.
A facelift resets the external clock; however, you do not stop your current rate of aging. The duration of your results depends on a number of internal factors (such as skin quality & cellular rate of aging) as well as your lifestyle (i.e. sun exposure and lifestyle choices). Dr. Christie believes anti-aging is a lifestyle and requires an understanding of the processes involved in aging to truly halt the process. Her customized approach to internal and external optimizing creates a long-lasting, durable result.
