Sagging skin, wrinkles, and loose contours can add years to your appearance. A face and neck lift with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gabriel restores a youthful, refreshed look—customized to your needs and goals for natural, long-lasting results.
The best way for patients to determine if a facelift is a viable solution is to schedule a confidential consultation with Dr. Gabriel.
If it turns out a facelift isn’t right for you, Dr. Gabriel will be able to offer you a host of alternative anti-aging options so that you can look and feel your very best.
The best facelift candidates will still have some elasticity to their skin, so most clients undergoing the procedure are between roughly 40 and 65. However, Dr. Gabriel has seen some good results for those who are both older and younger. Dr. Gabriel will conduct a thorough evaluation of your skin during your confidential consultation.
In some clients, usually those in their 40s, aging has only just begun to cause sagging, howling, and fatty deposits. These patients may be candidates for a less invasive procedure known as a mini facelift that comes with a shorter downtime. Small, unnoticeable incisions are made around the ears and hidden in the hairline.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gabriel provides natural, nuanced results that are fine-tuned to each client’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. He is adept at addressing a wide range of concerns, from breast reconstruction after mastectomy and the treatment of congenital anomalies, to complex facial and breast surgeries performed solely for cosmetic improvement. Dr. Gabriel is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and has honed his approach over the years to an internationally recognized level of artistry.
Dr. Gabriel firmly believes that open and honest communication is crucial to building patient trust. He is committed to being an attentive listener, always taking the time to truly understand his clients' aesthetic aspirations. Dr. Gabriel's unwavering integrity means he will never recommend or proceed with a procedure unless it is unquestionably in the patient's best interest.
Dr. Gabriel’s licensed anesthesiologist will first ensure that you are completely comfortable and unable to feel any pain. Dr. Gabriel will then create an incision, either behind the ears or beneath the chin, through which he will excise superfluous fat, skin, and tissue.
An endoscope, or small tubular camera, may be utilized in order to achieve the highest degree of accuracy and precision possible. Dr. Gabriel will be able to monitor your surgery on a computer monitor, ensuring a nuanced, natural-looking result.
Dr. Gabriel’s accredited outpatient medical center more closely resembles a spa than a doctor’s office. Comfort, convenience, discretion and personalized attention define your visit from start to finish.
We offer state-of-the-art treatment rooms outfitted with cutting-edge technology and equipment, along with a caring and knowledgeable staff on hand to help you complete a stress-free surgical journey.
Dr. Gabriel recommends waiting at least one month before resuming exercise. You should not attempt any vigorous exercise until give the go-ahead by Dr. Gabriel. Don’t attempt strenuous exercise at all in the early stages of healing, but just gentle walks to aid in circulation. Ease yourself back into your routine slowly.
Most standard facelift procedures take approximately three to four hours to complete, but a mini facelift may only take one to two hours. Each procedure is unique based on the technique being used and the changes to be made.
It can take up to two weeks for the initial swelling and bruising to diminish and the incisions begin to heal. You will likely feel more comfortable to resume light activities in your routine and be out in public after a few weeks of rest and recovery.
Even though a facelift can turn back the clock and make you look younger, it does not stop the aging process indefinitely. A full facelift will typically last for five to ten years, after which minor surgical corrections can be performed if desired.
