With the advent of today's innovative practices in the area of laser and cosmetic face lifts, today's patients, more than ever, rank these procedures and their results highly satisfying.

The face, of course, is the first part of the body that most people notice, including ourselves. Likewise, it is also the most exposed area, making it more subject to sun damage, which contributed to loss of elasticity, as do the effects of gravity, stress and age. It's no surprise that concerns over facial appearance are a daily dialogue in patient consultations.

The Precision Laser Face Lift

The Laser Face Lift

Southern Surgical Arts founder Dr. Nease developed the Laser Face Lift to accommodate patients who desire facial rejuvenation but are not ready for the incisions and skin removal of a traditional face lift. The Laser Face Lift combines SmartLipo, Laser Skin Resurfacing, Fat Transfer, Botox and facial fillers, making a person look five years younger on average. Laser Skin Resurfacing can be repeated for optimal results. Dr. Nease's 2010 clinical study of Laser Face Lifts was presented at the annual American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery conference in Phoenix, Arizona in January 2011 with initial results showing greater than 75% of patients were highly satisfied. BENEFITS: 5-10 years younger no scars short recovery (5-7 days) ideal for 35-50 year old

Unlike traditional face lifts, the Precision Laser Face Lift does not involve any incisions. It incorporates powerful lasers to remove wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and cause skin tightening.The Precision Laser Face Lift is the latest advancement in laser face lift technology, allowing the surgeon to directionally target either the deeper tissues (fat and muscle layers) or the skin layers for tightening. This laser treatment allows the surgeon to make changes to a face in cases where a traditional face lift procedure is not an option or undesired. The procedure itself is quite fast: lasting only one to two hours and requiring only IV sedation and local anesthesia. General anesthesia isn't necessary for the surgery. Since there are no scars with laser lifts, clients can wear their hair up or short without exposing noticeable incisions. Reported benefits include: a quick, 5-7 day recovery time, and beautiful, long-lasting results.
