In plastic surgery, as in the rest of medicine, optimum treatment proceeds from an accurate diagnosis. To accurately diagnose facial aging the surgeon needs to look at the three key regions of the face: the upper cheek (some call it the midface), the jaw border, and the neck. In each of these areas there may be problems of tone, which improve with lifting procedures, or volume, which improve with the addition or removal of fat.
An increasing percentage of our patients choose from our portfolio of limited incision surgeries for facial rejuvenation. These surgeries include customized face lifts, cheek lifts, jaw border lifts, and neck lifts, as well as certain types of brow lifts and eyelid surgery. They can be carried out under local anesthesia in the comfort and privacy of the Whole Beauty® Institute in Chicago and Winnetka.
