Facial Perfection does not require Ducktape!

Some patients do not require what some call a full facelift and some of these patients may only require a more limited incision, but this is not the norm. However, when a patient has modest to moderate facial tissue excess this dedicates the length of the incision. We find that combinging other techniques such as laser, skin tightening, etc can help to move some patients into this... more
