Thoughts About Having Cosmetic Surgery (Face Lift) at a Residency Program?

Thoughts About Having Cosmetic Surgery (Face Lift) at a Residency Program?

A: Personal Option

This is a personal choice to make.  These residents are well supervised, but lack the experience.  This is the reason that there is no cost or minimal cost.  There are always tradeoffs.  good luck.

If a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Uses Glue on the Tissue As Well As Sutures is There Any Hope for Normal Facial Sensation?

I feel like I'm wearing a clay mask and it's been a year since my face/neck lift.

A: Absolutely

This is a technique that helps the open space underneath the skin stick-down.  The tissue glue can be very helpful in this situation and does not alter sensation.  The sensation changes result from the actually face lift surgery which will correct itself in months to come.  The clay face may be just he tighter tissue from the facelift and this will soften as you age.

Facelift Surgery Before and After Photos

I'm considering face lift surgery, and I want to talk with a few different surgeons. What should I look for in facelift before and after pictures? How will I know what is good?

A: Facelift Before and After Photos

It is important that you identify with surgeon and the types of patients you are seeing in the photo.  In general, you want to see if the patient looks natural.  Do you like the jaw line?  Do you like the way the corner of the mouth changed position, if at all?  Many photos will look great in the post op.  The patients have makeup on. . .their hair is done. . .they're smiling. . .etc.  The real test of natural results is how do they look in the photo if the hair and makeup is unchanged.  Also, if you notice that the skin quality is better or the chin is stronger, the patient may have has laser resurfacing and and chin implant.  Ask your surgeon was anything else done to enhance the patient in this example you're showing me.  Most facelifts are benefited by some laser resurfacing, chin implants, or volumization with fat transfer or other fillers.  Ask for the complete treatment regiment. 

Best of luck
