A carefully and expertly performed face lift surgery, will reposition and tighten your face muscles and skin in a natural way, and should not give you a look that is stretched or pulled.
Your facial plastic surgeon will use a special technique called the “Optimal Mobility Facelift” which is a less invasive facelift surgery, and has given a very Natural looking result.
The “Optimum Mobility” Face lift is a surgery technique that was created by Dr. Fanous, who is Dr. Zakhary’s mentor and teacher.
Dr. Zakhary is at the forefront of using this “mini dissection” surgical technique of facelift surgery in Calgary, Alberta, to obtain a Long Lasting, Natural looking result, while reducing the amount of bruising, swelling and risks, compared to traditional facelift surgery techniques.
Your hair will Never be shaved.
The incisions are expertly placed and hidden in the hairline, in between the ear and
cheek, and in
behind the ears. The muscles of the face are tightened with stitches, which
disappear after
approximately 6 weeks, and the extra loose skin is repositioned and removed. This
combination of
tightening the facial muscles and skin, make the result of your surgery much longer
lasting, compared
to tightening only the skin. Most of your stitches dissolve naturally. Sometimes,
the extra fat
underneath your chin is removed by liposuction, in order to reduce the appearance of
a Double chin.
Dr. Zakhary may recommend additional procedures, such as injection of filler into your lips, chin implants, or Botox injections, so that you can have a more ideal and harmonious final result.
