Want to look as young as you feel? Are you looking for a natural looking facial rejuvenation?

Facelift Surgery is designed to reverse the visible signs of facial aging, including the formation of jowls, which obscure the jaw line, the occurrence of a double chin and the appearance of vertical bands of the skin and muscle in the front of the neck.

Modern facelift techniques involve resuspending the deep connective tissues of the face and allow the face and neck skin to be elevated and produce a natural rejuvenation. These techniques avoid the "plastic" or stretched appearance so common with facelift surgeries in the past. The surgery is typically performed without the need for general anesthesia and a 1 to 2 week recovery period is usually necessary after the procedure.

Do you want to look 10 years younger but aren't ready for a full facelift?

Want to look as young as you feel but not ready for a full facelift? Dr. Kassir suggests the new Band Aid Lift^™, which may be an ideal solution for baby boomers, who are just starting to see the effects of aging. Its benefits are lower cost, shorter surgical time, quicker recovery, and excellent results. The shortened procedure and recovery time are ideal for patients looking for a more youthful appearance without the downtime of traditional lifts. Now we can perform these lifts in as little as two visits, and patients can resume normal activity in a few days. The Band Aid Facelift^™ is performed through small incisions, which may be covered with a bandaid, hence the name Band Aid Facelift^™. The incisions may be place under the chin, above the ears or behind the ears, depending on the problem areas you wish to target. The Band Aid Facelift^™ carries fewer risks than the traditional facelift while offering a refreshed, younger appearance.

Band Aid Lift^™ benefits:

• Shorter surgery time (about one hour), performed in the office
• Quicker recovery time compared to a full facelift
• Immediate, natural results
• Refreshed and youthful appearance
• Affordable

Do you have any problems breathing through your nose or do you have chronic nose or sinus complaints? Has a prior injury made your nose out of proportion to your other facial features?

Rhinoplasty has become one of the most popular facial plastic surgical procedures in recent years as more and more people seek to change the appearance of their noses. Many are unhappy with the nose they were born with while others have had the shape of the nose distorted from an injury. Disorders of nasal breathing and sinusitis often complicate the situation. A range of techniques are used to fully address the desired change in appearance as well as to improve nasal breathing and correct chronic sinus infections. Sinus surgery, if indicated, is done with endoscopes to avoid any visible incisions.

Rhinoplasty may be performed under general or sedation anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Most health insurance plans still provide some coverage for functional nasal surgery and sinus surgery.

Do people often ask you if you are tired or sad?

The forehead area is often one of the first regions of the face to show the signs of aging. Gravity produces a downward movement of the eyebrows and can produce a tired, scowling or saddened appearance, which does not reflect the way the individual feels.

Forehead lifts are done either with a traditional incision across the upper scalp or with the use of an endoscope and several small incisions placed well behind the hairline. The surgery also helps reduce or remove deep creases in the forehead skin as well as the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows.

Want beautiful eyes? Does everyone ask you if you got a good night's sleep? Do you feel like you always look tired?

Blepharoplasty corrects the signs of aging in both the upper and lower eyelids. More than 100,000 men and women undergo the procedure every year to remove puffiness and "bags" under the eyes as well as excess skin, which may even impair vision. Eyelid surgery is easily done under sedation or local anesthesia and produces a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. The procedure is commonly performed individually but is also combined with a facelift, forehead lift or laser skin resurfacing.

Do you have excess fat in your neck and along the jaw line?

Liposuction of the face removes fatty deposits in the neck and along the jaw line. These deposits are often responsible for the occurrence of a double chin in patients as young as their late 20's. The surgery permanently and effectively removes the excess fat under the chin and is often combined with a tightening of the neck muscles to provide long-term improvement in the neckline. The procedure is typically done under mild sedation or local anesthesia in an outpatient surgery setting.

Are you happy with your profile? Do you feel like your face is not balanced?

A receding chin may be improved by chin implants. This improves the profile by creating a better balance between the chin and other facial features. Chin and cheek implants are commonly performed in conjunction with other procedures such as nasal reshaping (rhinoplasty) and face/neck lifts.

Do your ears seem to large or protrude further than you would like? Do you have torn earlobes?

Large or protruding ears can be corrected to produce a natural appearance with no visible signs of surgery. The procedure may be done as early as age 4 or 5 and at any point thereafter. Adults usually require only local anesthesia but young children typically benefit from general anesthesia.
