Minimal Incision Facelift (M.I.F.)
In the past, our San Francisco area patients wanting a facelift would have to endure major invasive surgery. The process was generally long and drawn out, while recovery required many weeks and involved considerable discomfort. Worst of all, the scars and bruises usually remained as visible reminders of the discomfort the patient suffered. For a process intended to restore beauty, this is not a pretty picture.
The Scarless Facelift
Facelift surgeon Stanley Poulos, M.D., and Yngvar Hvistendahl, M.D. are always on the cutting edge of technology and is proud to offer his Marin County and San Francisco Bay area patients the minimal incision facelift, which allows him to provide complete facial rejuvenation with little or no scarring. In some cases, an endoscope, which is a tiny fiberoptic lens, is utilized through tiny incisions in the hairline. This permits Dr. Poulos and Dr. Hvistendahl to visualize the surgery on a television screen, performing the entire facelift with extremely small and precise instruments. In other cases, a very short incision is hidden within the hairline or creases in front of the ear.
Partial Facelift
Many of our Marin County and San Francisco area patients opt for a partial facelift. Using new technology, Dr. Poulos and Dr. Hvistendahl can perform partial facelifts to target problem areas for those patients not yet ready for a full facelift. Procedures often requested by our San Francisco area patients include the temporal mid-facelift that rejuvenates sagging cheeks, smoothes out nasal furrows, and pulls up the corners of your lips. This partial facelift procedure can be performed alone or in combination with a brow lift or BOTOX® injections, ideal for treating frown lines.
For those who want to achieve natural looking, subtle results, these minimally invasive facelift procedures are perfect. If you are interested in facelift, contact our surgeon in the San Francisco area today to learn more about how new technology can help you to preserve and enhance your natural, youthful beauty.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
At our Marin County practice near San Francisco, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is one of the most commonly performed surgeries, sometimes as an individual procedure and sometimes in combination with face or brow lifting. Eyelid surgery involves removing excess fat and skin from the eyelid and below the eyes to restore your natural, youthful appearance and dramatically reduce premature signs of aging. In some cases, the lower eyelid surgery may be performed with no external incision, and brow lifting via a hidden incision can reduce the weight of heavy eyes. With blepharoplasty, Dr. Poulos and Dr. Hvistendahl can take you from looking tired and drained to looking energetic and vigorous. The goal is to create a natural (not shocked or different) look. Contact our San Francisco Bay area practice today to inquire about blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)
Dr. Poulos and Dr. Hvistendahl believe an attractive nose is one that goes unnoticed and does not detract from facial features. A long nose, a prominent hump, or a wide tip can be easily addressed with rhinoplasty to bring the face into balance. A well-performed nasal surgery often brings compliments about "pretty eyes" or "lovely skin" as the eye is no longer drawn to a feature that is out of balance. Dr. Poulos and Dr. Hvistendahl are experts in open rhinoplasty, which allows direct visualization of the nasal structures and the ability to make subtle changes by placing special sutures, which alter the shapes of the cartilages.
Facial Implants
Chin and cheek (malar) implants are often performed alone and in conjunction with rhinoplasty or facelift procedures at our San Francisco area practice. Through hidden incisions, specially designed implants sized exactly right for an individual patient, can augment the nose, cheeks, or chin to better balance the face.
