There are a number of products and treatments on the market that claim to provide the results of a facelift without having to actually undergoing facelift surgery. While certain injectable wrinkle treatments, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and Juvéderm®, do in fact provide exceptional results, they are still no match for a traditional, fad-free face lift. Dr. Ronald Caniglia of Facial Plastic Surgery firmly believes that the best way to achieve youthful-looking, smooth, gorgeous facial skin with long-lasting results is traditional facelift surgery.

Within our deluxe Scottsdale, Arizona practice, patients in the area, including Paradise Valley and Phoenix, will receive top treatments, advice, and care. Dr. Caniglia is well-versed in the aesthetics of the face, and recommends proven, effective methods of achieving patients’ cosmetic goals.

Fad-free Facelift Procedure

Dr. Caniglia will first conduct a consultation to discuss your ideal outcome, examine your current condition, and map out the best course of action for achieving your goals. A traditional facelift can safely and effectively correct signs of age on the face. The entire procedure lasts approximately two hours and is performed as follows:

• A combination of local anesthesia and intravenous sedation are administered so the patient is completely asleep during the procedure.
• An incision is made starting at the ear and up around the hairline. Dr. Caniglia will make incisions inconspicuous, so there is no visible scarring once healed.
• The underlying facial tissue and muscle are contoured and tightened.
• The skin is redraped and excess skin is removed.
• Incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.

Dr. Caniglia often recommends that traditional facelift surgery be combined with laser skin resurfacing, which corrects skin damage and blemishes, such as brown spots and lesions. Laser skin resurfacing can be administered at the same time as facelift surgery for beautiful, radiant, youthful-looking skin. Due to Dr. Caniglia’s experience and skill, results are natural and virtually undetectable.

Candidates for Fad-free Facelift Surgery

Dr. Caniglia suggests facelift surgery for anyone who wishes to correct sagging facial skin and deep lines and wrinkles on the face and neck that are associated with age. Ideal candidates are in relatively good physical and mental health and have realistic expectations of the treatment.

Why Choose Fad-free Facelift Surgery?

There are many reasons why traditional facelift surgery has stood the test of time. Other procedures that have come onto the market may claim to be less invasive or less expensive and often end up providing less than ideal results. Additionally, many trendy facial rejuvenating procedures provide solely a temporary solution.

Dr. Caniglia encourages patients who want a youthful facial appearance to consider traditional, fad-free face lift surgery. It is safe and has proven successful time and time again. At Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery, we will recommend only those procedures that best suit the patient’s needs, and will not promote treatments just because they are trendy.
