The Refresher Lift is the cornerstone procedure of our
advanced approach to facial
rejuvenation. As part of the natural aging process, the
skin and muscles of the lower face and neck lose elasticity,
resulting in loss of cheek definition, jowls under the chin
and poor neck contour, resulting in an aging or tired looking
face. No technology can rival our signature procedure, the
Refresher Lift, in returning freshness and youthfulness to the
face.
The state-of-the-art procedure uplifts and enhances the cheek area, reducing jowls and saggy neck skin with extremely discreet and limited incisions. Also, there is volume restoration provided by the incorporation of a cheek lift and/or fat injections. These provide remarkably natural and youthful results, as compared to the often stretched-look of traditional face lifts.
In addition, associated procedures such as brow, eyelid or neck lifts are often performed simultaneously to fulfill your specific beauty needs. The Refresher Lift itself is performed on an outpatient basis under intravenous (local) or general anesthesia.
What makes the Refresher Lift different
Unlike so many other face lift results, the Refresher Lift avoids that pulled-back look that we've all seen on people who have had unsophisticated face lifts. Instead, the Refresher Lift reduces excess skin while uplifting the cheeks to restore facial volume and the fullness of youth. After all, it's not just the skin that sags with age, but what's beneath it. The result of this unique face lift is "refreshed" beauty that appears natural, balanced and age-appropriate (that age being sometimes up to two decades younger!)
The surgery's incisions are extremely discreet and the procedure, which has been safely performed for over 15 years, is done on an outpatient basis with very reasonable downtime. The Refresher Lift is appropriate for men and women in their 40s and on up.

Recovery
After the surgery, some swelling and bruising can be expected, but that normally subsides within just a week or two (here you can see pictures of the healing process). Most sutures are removed between five to ten days, while residual bruising can be covered by camouflage makeup to shorten the time required before one can resume normal social activities. The discomfort after the surgery is usually well managed by medications prescribed by our physicians and rarely lasts longer than 3 to 4 days.
