Facial Rejuvenation

Dr. Jonathan Le often performs Facial Rejuvenation for patients that have multiple areas to improve upon. The continued development of new techniques and technologies allows for shorter procedures, less anesthesia, shorter recovery and often, less cost. The procedures can be performed individually and staged when necessary to better accommodate your schedule or in combination when it is appropriate.

With more traditional approaches designed to improved the facial contour, a facelift is designed to improve sagging facial skin, jowls and loose neck skin. During this procedure, Dr. Jonathan Le removes excess fat, tightens muscles, and redrapes the skin.

To improve the facial appearance in regards to skin tone and texture, Dr. Le may also use a laser that treats layers of damaged skin. Laser resurfacing is designed to even out the skin of the face and smooth fine wrinkles. It softens lines around the eyes and mouth and minimizes facial scars and uneven pigmentation. Laser resurfacing can be done all over the surface of the face when done as a single procedure or just in certain areas (such as the eyelids or the mouth) in combination with a facelift. In Facial Rejuvenation surgery, Dr. Jonathan Le addresses the appearance of the eyes as well. A blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is designed to correct drooping upper eyelids and puffy skin below the eyes by removing excess skin and adjusting the position of the fat. Sometimes a browlift will also help to achieve reduction of frown lines and creases in the brow area.

All of these procedures when combined into Facial Rejuvenation take several hours. During your Facial Rejuvenation you will be under general anesthesia provided by a Board Certified Anesthesiologist. Dr. Jonathan Le will perform the surgery at the accredited surgery center of your choice of the many places that he has privileges.

After the procedure you will remain in the recovery suite until you are cleared by the physicians for discharge. You then will be transferred to an overnight recovery facility for your safety and optimal initial recovery. The following day Dr. Jonathan Le will examine you and you will be released to recuperate in the comfort of your own home, with the assistance of a responsible adult. The average time off work is ten to fourteen days. These procedures can also be done individually when desired.
