About Refresher Lift

The Refresher Lift Story ... How It All Started

The Refresher Lift was developed by Christian Drehsen, M.D., one of Florida's most renowned and respected surgeons, who has been practicing in the Tampa Bay area for over 20 years. Nominated in "Top Surgeons in America," certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Drehsen has an impeccable eye for beauty and keen sense of balance and symmetry, as you will soon discover.

Over the years, he became disillusioned with some of the "quick fixes," i.e. mini-lifts that sometimes unscrupulous, often poorly trained surgeons were performing on patients around the country. Many of these patients would later seek his expert knowledge to improve results that were less than optimal the first time around. Particularly perturbing to Dr. Drehsen was the way in which these "mini" procedures removed some excess skin without restoring lost volume and a harmonious contour.

Having developed a superior technique that provided a natural balance between removal and restoration, Drehsen began to educate other physicians in the technique. And so, a new era of the "intermediate" face lift was born; the Refresher Lift.

Since that time, Dr. Drehsen has received distinctions such as being noted by the Consumer Research Council of America as among "America's Top Physicians in Plastic Surgery," and receiving the Distinguished Physician's Award from the Florida Medical Association for being "A Physician Who Cares" for his dedication to patients. Find more information about Dr. Drehsen.

The Refresher Lift is an excellent choice for those that:

• are not of the age where they may require a full face lift
• are of the age but want to minimize the risk of a full face lift
• are afraid to look like they got caught in a wind tunnel but instead desire to reverse the aging process in a natural-looking way
• want short downtime, lasting results, and accessible costs
• demand a safe, well-tested procedure and an experienced surgeon

Getting Started

Esthetic Evaluations and MD Consultations for the Refresher Lift are easy to request. You'll be asked to fill out simple information such as:

• Your city/state (so we can locate the best qualified Refresher Lift Surgeon in your vicinity)
• Your approximate age (so we'll understand the typical issues you may be facing)
• The facial aging issues that you feel are most evident (jowls, circles under the eyes, sagging cheeks, furrowed brow, etc.), and
• Whether you have had any previous face lift procedures, injectables, etc.

It's that easy! Those simple questions and answers will provide an excellent start in determining how the Refresher Lift might best work for you and the areas of primary focus for our facial rejuvenation.

You can even upload photos (up-close please!) so we can better see your personal profile. Please upload a minimum of 3 pictures: front, side, and three quarter profile views.
