Dr. Afrooz's Signature 4D Lift Explained

Facial aging occurs in several distinct ways, so a successful face and neck lift must be comprehensive and multidimensional. Gone are the days of a simple "nip-tuck" facelift. Here I explain how my Signature 4D Lift rejuvenates the face by (1) reducing skin laxity, (2) tightening the underlying musculature, (3) eliminating fullness in the neck, and (4) reintroducing youthful volume.

What Cosmetic Concerns Can A Facelift Address?

If you look in the mirror and are dismayed to see any of the following signs of aging skin, you may want to consider a facelift in Miami:

  • Deep creases, lines, and wrinkles
  • Sagging facial skin
  • Lost volume in the cheeks
  • Jowls
  • Lack of definition in the jawline
  • Fatty deposits beneath the chin and upper neck

The Facelift Procedure: Customized for You

A facelift is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures, giving you the ability to undo years of facial aging in a single treatment. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the skin on the face to smooth jowls, wrinkles, and folds. A facelift is one of the only surgeries that can produce such dramatic, beautiful results in one session. 

Dr. Afrooz sets himself apart in the world of cosmetic facial surgery, thanks to an undying commitment to surgical excellence, reflected in the care he brings to each and every individual procedure. As part of this commitment, he provides a variety of techniques:

What are my facelift options?

Mini Facelift

A mini facelift is similar to a traditional facelift, but it targets a smaller area of the face. A mini facelift addresses the cheeks and jowls and is a more “accelerated” version of a facelift, with shorter treatment time and a faster recovery. This procedure will leave some areas untreated, such as the forehead. It is an intricate procedure that must be performed with the highest level of precision and technical expertise.

Mid-Facelift 

A mid-facelift is a surgical procedure that targets the area between the lower eyelids and the mouth. It addresses sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, and other signs of aging in the midface area. This procedure is less invasive than a full facelift, but more extensive than a mini facelift. It involves lifting the soft tissues of the cheeks to restore volume and definition to the midface region. The procedure requires a high level of surgical skill and precision but typically results in a shorter recovery time than a full facelift.

Lower Facelift 

A lower facelift tightens the jowls and eliminates the double chin, resulting in a defined jawline and a firmer, smoother neck. A lower facelift has multiple benefits, including less cost and invasiveness than a full facelift, minimal scarring, and the ability to reduce signs of aging, tighten the jowls and jawline, and enhance self-confidence.

Deep Plane Facelift 

A deep plane facelift is a more comprehensive version of a traditional facelift, providing longer-lasting and more dramatic results. It involves repositioning not only the skin but also the deeper tissues and muscles of the face, leading to a more youthful appearance that can last for up to 10 years. Unlike a mini facelift, a deep plane facelift addresses the entire face, including the forehead, mid-face, and neck.

Am I a candidate for a facelift? 

Considering a facelift in Miami with Dr. Paul Afrooz? You may be a candidate if you:

  • Experience sagging facial skin, noticeable jowls, or feel older than desired.
  • Seek aesthetic refinement for a boosted look and increased confidence.
  • Desire a refreshed and rejuvenated facial appearance.

Facelift Recovery

After your facelift in Miami with Dr. Paul Afrooz, you can expect a recovery period of at least six weeks. Immediately after your surgery, we recommend getting as much rest as possible, as this will ensure a smooth and speedy recovery. You will have to be careful around the incisions and protect the skin from the sun and other irritants while you heal. You can expect some swelling or bruising for a few weeks after your procedure. Afterward, you should be able to enjoy the full results of your facelift. The results from a facelift are long-lasting, but they do not prevent further aging from occurring.
