Taking Hollywood’s 3D phenomenon to a whole new level, Beverly Hills Plastic surgeon Dr. Payman Simoni is advancing science with his 3D Facelift.
The most common concern with people seeking facelifts is the fear of the anesthesia and the result of looking too “done”. This procedure eliminates these worries by not only giving patients a comprehensive facelift with no anesthesia, but also by focusing on the 3D angle of fat loss over the two- dimensional aspect common to a traditional facelift.
The face ages in three levels. The first one obviously being the skin, which loses its elasticity and sags, while the second is underlying fat and muscle which succumbs to gravitational forces. The lesser- known cause of aging in the face is loss of fat in select areas. This last culprit isn’t addressed in traditional facelifts, only the sagging is, which has been a major shortcoming in the procedure .The classic facelift pulls the face in a two-dimensional angle even though the loss of fat in the face causes it to age in three dimensions.
This avant-guard procedure takes place with the patient wide -awake using local anesthesia and, remarkably, sitting up! Simoni confirms that, “Having the patient sit up allows me to achieve a more natural and precise result. The too tight looking facelift of the past is mostly caused because the patient is lying down and everything is falling back, therefore more guesswork was involved. If a surgeon was off by even a few millimeters the end result would be artificial looking.”
In addition to the aforementioned benefits our fat harbors a lot of stem cells which when it is injected under your skin they act as repair cells by producing natural growth factors and rehabilitating sun damaged skin. So by recently incorporating this science into his Simoni Lifts, Dr. Simoni harvests “stem cell rich” fat from areas fat is not welcome to begin with like hips, thighs, and abdomen. He then processes and re-injects it into one of the areas of the face affected by thinning, such as under the eyes.
The 3D lift is the future of the facelift, and gives patients a younger more natural look using break though science for outstanding results!
