Facelift As
we age, certain parts of our
face tend to droop, sag, and
develop wrinkles. This is most
pronounced in the neck and on the sides of
the face in areas called the
jowls. Facelift can address these
signs of aging. In the procedure,
incisions are made around the ears and
within the hair on the scalp.
Modern facelift techniques as
done at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery
provide excellent results by tightening
both the skin and the deeper
tissues of the face and neck.
This approach allows flexibility
so the surgeon can tailor the procedure to each
patient and avoid the “windswept” look that was common
some years ago. The procedure
is modified for each patient
individually to provide the best
results. It is often combined
with other facial procedures such as browlift,
blepharoplasty or neck liposuction
depending on the needs of the
patient. For some patients, the
Rodeo Drive Chin Rejuvenation procedure can provide neck and chin
improvement either with or without a facelift.

During your consultation at Rodeo
Drive Plastic Surgery, your plastic
surgeon will examine you and discuss recommendations for the specific
type of facelift to yield
the best results. The procedure
is often done as an outpatient with recovery either at a specialized
overnight care center or at home,
sometimes with a private duty
nurse. It is performed under general anesthesia administered by a
physician anesthesiologist to minimize
discomfort during the procedure.
Most patients have very little pain following the surgery because
long-acting local anesthetic is administered
as part of the procedure. Most
patients return to work about 10 to 14 days after surgery. There
may be some bruising for a week or so
and some swelling for a few weeks
following surgery. Read more about a facelift.
Browlift As we age, our brow tends to sag and droop. We also develop lines in our forehead and along the sides of our eyes. Browlift addresses these signs of aging. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, we use various browlift techniques depending on the features and needs of individual patients. These include the coronal lift, which uses an incision along the entire scalp; the temporal brow lift, which uses small incisions at the lateral parts of the hairline; and the endoscopic brow lift, which uses several small scalp incisions and telescopes to do the lift.
During your consultation at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, your plastic surgeon will examine you and discuss recommendations for the specific type of browlift to yield the best results. The procedure is usually done as an outpatient, and under general anesthesia administered by a physician anesthesiologist to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients have very little pain following the surgery as well because long-acting local anesthetic is administered as part of the procedure. Most patients return to work about a week after surgery. There may be some bruising for a week or so and some swelling for a few weeks following surgery. Read more about a browlift.
Eyelift (Blepharoplasty) Eyelid surgery or “blepharoplasty” treats drooping or fullness of the upper or lower eyelids. As men and women age, their upper eyelids tend to sag and their lower eyelids tend to become puffy. These developments can lead to a tired and older appearance. Blepharoplasty uses small incisions that are hidden within natural skin folds. Various amounts of excess skin, fat and muscle are removed. Scars are usually almost imperceptible. Sometimes the lower eyelids can be treated using incisions made on the inside of the lower eyelid, with no external scars, in a procedure called transconjunctival blepharoplasty. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, we tailor our eyelid surgery to the needs of each individual patient. Though these procedures usually only last one to two hours, the improvements in appearance are often dramatic.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)
Some of us are unhappy with our nose, either because of its size or shape or because of breathing problems. Rhinoplasty reshapes the skin as well as the bone and cartilage inside to alter the size and shape of the nose. Work on the cartilage that separates the two nasal air passages can help with breathing problems. This so-called “septoplasty” is often done as part of rhinoplasty or as the sole procedure. Sometimes this same cartilage is also used as a graft to help in the nose reshaping. At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, all of our nose surgeries feature our innovative Rodeo Drive Breathe Easy Rhinoplasty™.
