QuestionI had a “lip lift” also known as “upper and lower lip advancement” 2 years ago. To be more specific on what I had: A lip lift is performed to shorten the long lip of aging, allowing the upper teeth to show slightly when the lips are slightly parted. It turns up the upper lip creating a fuller appearance. A wavy ellipse of skin under the nose-lip junction is removed (average 5-7 mm). It involves an incision along the border of the upper lip. Once the incision is made the doctor removes a tiny strip of skin where the upper […]
Question I am interested in having a neck lift. Can you tell me about the procedure. I heard it is a procedure?

If you have good skin elasticity liposuction is often used to remove little fat deposits in the neck area. As a result of the procedure the skin contracts and shrinks; therefore this may the solution to achieve the results you seek.

Question: Will liposuction of the neck give me a nice tight looking neck or do I need a neck lift?

Patients of all ages with good to excellent skin elasticity […]

Introduction to Neck Lift Surgery
Turning back the signs of aging in the face and neck can range from using nonsurgical options to electing a facelift (rhytidectomy) and neck lift. Facial aging is accelerated by gravity, excessive sun exposure, and smoking. The signs are seen on the surface of the face and neck skin as wrinkles and in the deeper layers of the face and neck as soft-tissue loss, which intensifies skin sagging.

Introduction to Breast Augmentation with Lift
It’s very common for patients to come in thinking they need implants, only to realize that volume isn’t the only concern, or to consider a lift and worry that they’ll lose fullness in the process. In reality, many changes over time involve both position and volume, so addressing one without the other may not deliver the result you’re hoping for.
A breast augmentation with a lift allows us to approach both concerns together. By adding volume where it’s been lost and repositioning the breast to a more natural, lifted position, Dr. Casas can […]

Introduction to Thigh Lift
