Types of Facelifts:
What’s Right for You?
Aging impacts more than just the skin’s surface. Changes such as volume loss, shifts in bone structure, and the pull of gravity all play a role in creating a less youthful appearance. With Dr. Hasanov’s extensive expertise, a wide variety of facelift techniques can be tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Whether opting for a traditional facelift, a deep plane facelift, or a minimally invasive approach, you can trust that the outcomes will be both subtle and transformative.
Deep Plane Facelift
The Deep Plane Facelift is a cutting-edge approach that targets the deeper layers of facial tissue rather than just the skin’s surface. By lifting and repositioning these underlying structures, it effectively addresses pronounced sagging in the mid-face and lower face. This method delivers a more thorough and natural-looking rejuvenation, restoring youthful contours without the overly tight appearance sometimes associated with traditional facelifts. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking durable, balanced results that preserve the natural expressiveness of their face.
SMAS Facelift
The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) facelift is a sophisticated technique that addresses more than just skin tightening. By elevating and repositioning the deeper facial tissues, it offers a thorough rejuvenation, effectively minimizing jowls, nasolabial folds, and sagging skin. The result is a naturally youthful and refreshed appearance.
Mini Facelift
The Mini Facelift is a minimally invasive procedure designed for patients experiencing early signs of aging. Targeting the lower face and neck, it gently lifts and tightens sagging skin and underlying muscles, delivering a refreshed and natural appearance with minimal recovery time. Despite being labeled as “mini,” this technique also addresses deeper facial planes but utilizes a shorter incision for a more discreet result.
Neck Lift
A Neck Lift focuses on addressing sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat in the neck, resulting in a smoother and more toned neckline. Frequently performed alongside a facelift, this procedure enhances overall facial rejuvenation, creating a more youthful and well-defined profile.
California Facelift
The California Facelift is a tailored procedure that combines aspects of deep plane and SMAS facelifts with Dr. Hasanov’s signature regenerative fat grafting technique. This personalized approach delivers comprehensive rejuvenation while preserving natural facial expressions and achieving long-lasting, harmonious results.
Platysmaplasty
Platysmaplasty, also known as neck muscle tightening, addresses loose or banded platysma muscles to improve the appearance of the neck. By firming these muscles, the procedure effectively reduces vertical bands and creates a smoother, more youthful, and refined neckline.
Deep Neck and Submandibular Gland Reduction:
This advanced procedure enhances the jawline and neck by eliminating excess fat beneath the platysma muscle, reducing the size of the submandibular glands, and sculpting the underlying muscles and fat. The outcome is a more refined and elegant neck contour, making it an excellent option for patients aiming for a well-defined jawline.
“Scarless” Facelift
The “Scarless” Facelift is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes small, concealed incisions within the hairline and behind the ear to lift and tighten facial tissues. This technique provides a rejuvenated, youthful appearance without visible scarring, making it an ideal choice for younger patients seeking subtle yet effective results. Additionally, this approach can elevate the brow and the outer corners of the eyes, achieving the popular “fox eye look.”
