What is a Facelift?
Thanks to today’s modern, sophisticated facelift techniques, like the deep plane method, patients no longer have to contend with unnatural-looking results, such as looking “windswept” or “pulled.” On the contrary, a facelift leaves patients looking effortlessly younger and more vibrant while requiring minimal downtime. During the procedure, Dr. Tiffany Pham in San Diego will untether the facial ligaments, allowing her to reposition the deeper layers of muscle, tissue, and fat as a single unit. She prioritizes gentle lifting rather than pulling or stretching, which minimizes trauma or pressure on the superficial skin layer. Thus, side effects and recovery time are reduced. In fact, the deep plane approach is associated with a lower risk of complications, necrosis, and injury.
Non-Surgical Facelift
For patients seeking a solution to aging without the downtime, risks, and costs associated with a deep-plane facelift, Dr. Tiffany Pham can perform a non-surgical, or “liquid,” facelift using today’s most innovative injectables. She can combine neuromodulators and dermal fillers to combat both dynamic and static lines, while restoring youthful volume in the cheeks, lips, temples, under-eye region, and jawline. A liquid facelift may not address loose, drooping skin, but it can restore symmetry, balance, and harmony among the features while allowing our busy San Diego patients to resume their normal activities immediately.
