The 30-minute facelift has quickly become the fastest way to looking younger. Recently, the procedure was showcased on the show The Doctors. You can view this on YouTube.
The 30-minute facelift, or technically called Acculift™ procedure, helps to reshape and contour the jawline, the lower cheek, and the upper neck areas.
This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia in the office. By reducing the localized sagging, ie, the jowls, or double chin, you can significantly reduce an aged appearance.
The procedure itself is completed using a state of the art laser machine. The laser assists in the melting of the fat, giving the patient a more refined jaw line, neck, and lower cheek.
After the procedure is finished, the patient rests in our office for 15 – 30 minutes, and then they are allowed to go home. The recovery is short with minimal pain, swelling, or bruising. Make-up can be applied the following day, and the patient may possibly return to work within three days. The patient is encouraged to wear a chin support for at least seven days for optimal results.
This is a great procedure for people who are looking for a quick fix with minimal downtime and risks. The improvement is mostly focused on the lower face and neck, because they are the two areas that are most often manifesting significant aging signs.
I often combine this wonderful procedure with either injectable fillers/Botox, eyelid rejuvenation, or mini-facelift to achieve a more complete rejuvenation. We are seeing an increasing demand for this type of rejuvenation as compared to the traditional full facelift.
A lot of our patients are in their late 30s to late 40s. While they all have some signs of aging, most of them are not ready to have the “big” facelift surgery.
The most common reasons given are the need to return to work sooner and general apprehension to general anesthesia and prolonged recovery. Presented with options, most of my patients are opting for the quicker procedure with less downtime and risk.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions or would like to get more detailed information regarding the 30-minute facelift or any of our services.
