Dr. Boris Mordkovich performs this extensive surgical procedure by making incisions that begin at the hairline, continue around the front of the ear, and end in the lower scalp. First, he repositions deeper tissues under the skin. Then, our expert removes excess skin. Finally, he re-drapes the skin over the newly contoured surface. This method tackles moderate to extreme signs of aging. These may include deeply etched wrinkles and significant sagging.
If a patient has only mild or moderate aging symptoms, they might be interested in a mini facelift. This procedure uses small incisions near the ears. This way, our surgeon can tighten layers of facial tissue beneath the skin and get rid of any extra skin. A mini facelift gives patient’s faces a younger look than before cosmetic surgery. But it doesn’t change how they look as much overall. So, it is an option for younger individuals or those who want only minor enhancements.
This technique aims to rejuvenate the middle section of the face, specifically the area beneath the eyes and the cheeks. Dr. Mordkovich performs a mid-facelift procedure by making minor cuts either below the lower eyelid or inside the mouth. This allows him to lift and tighten the tissues in the cheek area. So, he can help reduce drooping cheeks and pronounced lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds).
The deep plane facelift is a type of facelift surgery that goes beneath the skin’s surface to address the facial muscles and tissues below. Rather than simply tightening these structures, Dr. Mordkovich lifts and repositions them. This way, he is providing both a greater degree of improvement and results that last longer. This method is especially beneficial for patients whose skin has become highly loose or creased with age.
In a SMAS facelift, Dr. Mordkovich lifts and tightens the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System. It is a layer of tissue beneath the skin that gives the face its shape. Then, he removes any excess skin. By using this method, our surgeon can provide patients with more defined features in a way that looks natural. Besides, it helps with concerns such as drooping jowls both in the middle and lower part of the face.
During the initial consultation, Dr. Boris Mordkovich conducts a thorough evaluation of the patient to assess their suitability for a facelift. Apart from analyzing their medical history and visual concerns, he also takes into account patient’s aesthetic goals and concerns. Based on this, he recommends the most appropriate technique to employ, along with anesthetic requirements. Besides, patients receive a comprehensive quote covering the entire procedure cost.
Then, the patient has to undergo a comprehensive pre-op evaluation. Dr. Mordkovich requests tests as needed, such as blood work or an EKG. Their findings are checked out to make sure it’s safe for the patient to move forward with surgery.There are certain medical conditions that would make someone a poor candidate for a facelift, including:
