Facelift Looking Natural

April 24, 2009 by Dr. Buckingham

Joan,

I can assure you that you will look like yourself, only better following your facial rejuvenation procedure.  More specifically, the reason patients look unnatural after a brow lift is that the brow has been pulled too high, especially the central brow.  This gives a deer in the headlights look.  We usually perform endoscopic browlifts and focus on lateral elevation which is natural in appearance.  Regarding blepharoplasty an unnatural look occurs when incisions are placed out of the natural skin crease and/or too much fat is removed.  This gives the eyelid a hollow cadaveric appearance.  By utilizing natural incision placement and preserving fat the upper lid maintains its natural look.  With the lower eyelid we usually make the incision inside the eyelid, transconjuctival.  This hides this incision.  Again, only removing fat from the lower eyelid will lead to a hollow unnatural appearance.  By performing a fat transfer we are able to fill the lower eyelid groove and cheek to restore volume loss in a natural way.  By adding volume we are also able to give natural lower facelift results.  A lower facelift can leave an operated look by moving hair from its normal position, poor scar placement or putting too much tension on the closure.  We avoid all of these pitfalls with our incision placement and by performing a deep plane facelift.  This allows all of the tension to be placed on the tough fibrous layers of the face and leaves the skin tension free.

The best way to convince yourself however, is to review our before and after gallery.  I think you will agree that we provide substantial results, but in a natural way.  Please feel free to call and to set up a consultation at your earliest convenience.

I loved my results with Dr. Buckingham and his skilled staff. My procedure was easy and painless, with an easy, short recovery leaving me with a great result that will last for years. I chose Dr. Buckingham because a friend, who is in the medical profession herself, had him perform her…
