This question is really about how to best rejuvenate the eyes and make them appear more youthful. I prefer lifting the lateral brow endoscopically with a couple of small incisions. I can also accomplish this with a single small temporal incision. And rarely, we can use an old coronal style incision. I often combine the …

The question of how long a mini facelift lasts is the single most common question that I get asked by my facelift patients.

A lip lift does leave a scar, but it’s typically undetectable after a few weeks. Upper lip lifts are done with an external incision that is placed either on the lip under the nose or rarely it can be placed directly above the lip line. My preferred method is to place the incision under the …
