2010 is a Great Year For Face Lifts

2010 Is One of the Best Years Ever For Facial Rejuvenation
The last two years, and potentially the next year or two, have been found to be probably the best time in history for Facelift Surgery and Facial Rejuvenation. This is for a number of reasons: advances in techniques and procedures and combination of procedures has never been better; the recession has put economic pressure on all elective purchases, such as cars, housing, jewelry, and even plastic surgery – especially the most expensive procedure – the facelift; and people are often opting for temporary fixes with fillers, Botox, and short term lasers and the like.
The fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are quite effective but do not nearly give the results of surgery and last for typically 5 to 8 months. Radiesse is thicker is designed for larger, more deeper lines and grooves and can last over a year. However, none of these things can achiev e or even address many of the things that a face and neck lift achieve. Fa face and neck lift actually rejuvenates the underlying structure and volume of your face and neck. It is not meant to change you look, as you see with bad work, but is meant to restore the previous structure of your face at a younger age ie raising the cheek, preventing hollowness at the temples, smoothing out your nasolabial and marionette lines – the lines between the lateral part of your nostril to the corner of your mouth and from the corner of your mouth down to either side of your chin just in front of the jowl area, redraping and correcting the jowls, tightening the skin of the lower face and neck, and minimizing or eliminating the banding in the neck – the platysmal bands. It is meant to be long lasting, although you will continue to age at a normal rate. Often this is done with fat and stem cell injection and/or a chemicall or laser peel.

The skill and techniques are so far advanced fro the facelifts of old, and the recovery is significantly less. I have patients that have had a face and neck lift and have gone out for dinner the next night. Further, the results should look rejuvenating, not pulled or unnatural. I like to say that good plastic surgery does not look like plastic surgery.
Finally, facelift surgery is one of the most expensive cosmetic surgery procedures, by a long shot. Because of the economy, the cost for a facelift have been the lowest that they have ever been, adjusting for inflation, even though the quality is better than ever.
Dr Peter Cheski has pioneered a number of minimal recovery with maximal result techniques, such as the percutaneous suspension forehead lift, minimally invasive cheek lift and the neck slin. These surgeries involve only minimal incisions and both minimal surgery and recovery time. He also combines these techniques with the modern facelift to give maximum results with minimal recovery.
His most important mantra is to have a very natural look to the face, neck and eyes. He is uniquely trained, first achieving training and Board certification in Head andNeck Reconstructive Surgery before pursuing his cosmetic training. He has been performing facial surgery for eighteen years and has done thousands and thousands of cases. The “Innovative Research Award” from the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery after presenting his work involving these minimally invasive facial techniques. Destination Southern California named him the “Best Surgeon for Facelifts.” He pwns 3 Surgical Centers in the Los Angeles area which are accredited by The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations or JCAHO/Jayco/The Joint Commission, which has some of the most rigid and stringent standards for Surgical Centers. Most Surgical Centers are not accredited by Jayco because of its higher standards and ability to perform unannounced surveys and inspections. Most Hospitals are however Jayco accredited, such as Cedars Sinaii, UCLA, Harvard Mass General and the like. Know that when you undergo anesthesia, you are in the highest standards for Operating Rooms in the United States.
