Facelift: Facelifts are very popular cosmetic surgeries designed to reverse the signs of aging. These procedures can address your face, neck, cheeks, lips, and brows, depending on your aesthetic goals. The surgical plan for facial rejuvenation is broken up into regions of the face. In the upper face, the forehead, brows, and upper eyelids are treated. In the mid-face, we address the lower eyelids, nose, ears, and the upper cheeks. For the most popular lower face rejuvenation, we address the neck, lower cheeks, nasolabial folds, jowls, jawline, and chin. Achieving your desired results through surgical facial rejuvenation requires several weeks of recovery and specific post-operative care to maximize the benefits of the procedure. Facelifts usually are performed by lifting the skin and the SMAS/deep plane layer to reposition the sagging tissues higher and in the direction opposite to the gravitational pull to keep the face looking natural and youthful and not change the face to “look like a different person”.

The facelift is often combined with a lip lift to rejuvenate the mouth, as well as laser or plasma resurfacing to renew the skin and improve deep wrinkles and sun damage.

 

Brow Lifts and Blepharoplasty: Eyes are regarded by many as the focus of attention and brow lift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty are very effective ways to address concerns related to appearance of aging face and eyelids. Dr. Gorodisky may recommend one or both procedures, depending on your unique situation. These surgeries can significantly reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate your eye area, providing a more youthful and refreshed look. Sometimes surgical procedures may be complemented with resurfacing laser treatments for maximum skin rejuvenation.

 

Ear Surgery: If you're self-conscious about your ears, we can help. Dr. Gorodisky performs ear surgery to repair damaged or stretched ear lobes enabling you to wear new earrings or remove the reminders of the days when oversized gauges or piercings were in fashion. This procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and requires only local anesthesia. Dr. Gorodisky also performs ear pinning procedures, reshaping the ears to make them less protruding and more symmetrical. This outpatient procedure can either be done under local or general anesthesia. Ear pinning is suitable for both teenagers and adults, offering an opportunity to enhance self-image.

 

Lip Lift: If you desire youthful, natural-looking lips and a rejuvenated mid-face area, consider a lip lift as a surgical solution that can reduce the need for frequent fillers. This in-office procedure, skillfully performed by Dr. Gorodisky, involves a reduction of the upper lip elongation that occurs with aging, via discreetly hidden incisions, resulting in a more youthful pout. While thinner lips are a common effect of aging, this surgery is also an excellent option for younger patients who wish to enhance their lips and boost their confidence.

 

West Coast Lift: If you're looking for a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation, then the West Coast Lift may be the ideal solution. Dr. Gorodisky performs this procedure under local anesthesia or mild sedation, making small incisions to tighten the skin of your face, jowls, and neck, and remove some excess skin. This is a convenient alternative to traditional facelifts with significantly reduced healing time. This procedure may not last as long as a traditional facelift but may be ideal for the right patient.

 

Y Lift: For those seeking lasting facial rejuvenation without surgery, Dr. Gorodisky offers the state-of-the-art Y Lift procedure at West Coast Plastic Surgery Center. This minimally invasive procedure derives its name from the concept that youthful facial features naturally form a Y shape. The Y Lift restores the lost structural shape of the face that, in turn, helps to support sagging tissues and skin with a unique technique of placing a soft injectable implant in a location where it cannot move or migrate. This innovative treatment can enhance specific facial areas, including cheekbones, under-eye areas, jawline, chin, and cheeks. It can be completed in 30-45 minutes under local anesthesia with zero downtime, and results that can be enjoyed for several years.
