Newport Beach Facelift Specialist's Tips on Skin Care Before and After Surgery

(PRWEB) May 27, 2013

"Patients who take good care of their skin before and after their facelift procedure will enjoy their results for up to 10 years or longer," said Dr. Sadati. "A personalized, quality skin care regimen is essential to the long-term success of this popular cosmetic surgery procedure."

In the blog, Dr. Sadati recommends the following tips for patients who may be interested in a facelift procedure in the future:

Always protect skin that will be exposed to the elements. Sunscreen and protective clothing are essential to protecting the skin from UV Rays. Note that anyone can get sunburned on any type of day, even an overcast day that doesn't seem especially sunny.

Make a skin care analysis appointment at the first sign of aging. This is a great way to identify both environmental and genetic factors that contribute to the signs of aging. At this appointment, Dr. Sadati can create a preventative skin care regimen designed to delay the necessity of a facelift procedure for a few more years.

Dr. Sadati also offers skin care advice for patients who have recently undergone a facelift procedure:

Note that the facial skin is especially vulnerable after this particular surgery as it has just been stretched and adjusted on the face. Sunscreen should be worn at all times, especially during the days immediately following the operation.

A chemical peel or laser skin resurfacing may be the best choice for boosting the appearance of skin after a facelift procedure. These cosmetic procedures are designed to add a healthy glow to the skin, giving it a fresh and rejuvenated appearance. Many people consider this to be the best way to complete the look of any facelift.

Dr. Sadati makes it a point to evaluate each patient on an individual basis. He takes into account environmental factors as well as biological factors, creating a customized skin care plan for every facelift patient at his practice.

"Every person's skin is different, and there are many environmental factors that will contribute to the aging process such as where a person works, where they live and how often they travel to different parts of the world," Dr. Sadati said. "My goal is to make sure every skin care regimen I create meets the specific needs of the individual patient."

Ultimately, proper skin care is the best way to delay the initial signs of aging. When a facelift does become necessary, a good skin care regimen will enhance the initial results of the facelift and allow the patient to enjoy those results for many years to come.

Riverside Facelift Expert Discusses the Importance of Sun Protection

Riverside, CA (PRWEB) June 04, 2013

"Patients who have had a facelift done need to be exceptionally prudent about keeping themselves safe from the sun, especially in the six months immediately following their operations," reminds Dr. Sadati.

During the procedure, Dr. Sadati not only tightens the muscles in the face, but he also tightens the skin in order to eliminate the appearance of wrinkles. This surgical technique restores a person's natural youthful appearance to their face, but it also makes them especially vulnerable to the rays of the sun. Dr. Sadati notes that Riverside patients who do not take extra caution to protect their faces from the sunshine after their operation may suffer the consequences, such as darkened scars that are highly visible, premature formation of wrinkles, and dark spots on their skin.

In the blog post, Dr. Sadati offers patients the following tips to keep themselves protected.

Stay indoors as much as possible, especially in the first six months after the surgery. This is one reason why many patients choose to have a facelift procedure done in the fall or winter months because that is a time of year when they would be staying indoors regardless.

Wear protective clothing and try to stay shaded as much as possible. Patients should make sure to wear hats or head coverings at all times, preferably something with a brim that provides shade for their face. Even if exposure to the sun is minimal, it's important to protect the face from the sun's rays. For instance, a person should wear a baseball cap even if they are just running to the grocery store.

Always wear sunscreen. Dr. Sadati prefers that his facelift patients wear SPF 30 or higher, and recommends that they buy the sunscreen lotion rather than the spray-on sunscreen. Whether it is cloudy outside or a bright sunny day, facelift patients must protect their faces with sunscreen.

Dr. Sadati finds that patients who take these precautions seriously will enjoy their facelift results for many years to come. By staying out of the sun and wearing sunscreen anytime they are outdoors, patients will find that their faces will look young, fresh, and vibrant for up to 10 years after their operation.

"By taking the necessary steps to protect themselves from the sun right after their operation, patients will reap the benefits of having a beautiful, naturally younger appearance for nearly a decade," Dr. Sadati notes.

Patients who are interested in the facelift procedure are welcome to set up a free cosmetic consultation with the surgeon. At this appointment, patients will find out if they are a good candidate for the facelift as well as have a custom surgical plan created for them. In addition, Dr. Sadati will go over specific instructions for post-operative care that address the patient's individual needs. For more information about the importance of sun protection after a facelift surgery, contact Dr. Sadati today.

Injectable Treatments Work Together to Create Non-surgical Facelift

La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) January 05, 2013

Dr. Susan M. Stuart, a board-certified dermatologist in San Diego, says non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX Cosmetic and Restylane can help postpone surgical procedures such as a facelift.

By eliminating wrinkles and other signs of aging, these treatments allow 30- and 40-somethings to avoid the realities of surgery until they truly need it. While a facelift is an appropriate method for reversing more pronounced signs of aging, Dr. Stuart says, minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatments will often meet the needs of younger patients.

"For the right candidate, a facelift can be extremely effective for eliminating jowls and repositioning sagging facial tissue," Dr. Stuart says, "but not everyone is ready for a surgical procedure. Many patients who are concerned about wrinkles and volume loss can benefit from BOTOX and injectable dermal fillers."

Dr. Stuart recommends BOTOX Cosmetic for her San Diego area patients who have begun to notice wrinkles, crow's feet and laugh lines.

"BOTOX temporarily relaxes the muscles whose contractions cause wrinkles," she says. "The results can last for months, and patients can go right back to their normal schedules after each office visit."

The Maercks Institute Now Provides The Best Miami Facelift Care Seamlessly In its Own Class III Certified Operating Room and Boutique Hotel Style Accomodations

Miami, FL (PRWEB) May 01, 2013

The Maercks Institute has been years in the planning and just months ago finally took form on the edge of Miami's exciting Design District. The design had to work around renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Rian A. Maercks' practice style and needs. "I wanted to create a seamless environment with unparallelled safety and comfort. I knew that the unpredictable conditions and personel of most hospitals just wasn't the best thing for my patients, particularly my facelift patients."

Dr. Maercks' practice is a well-rounded mix of all aspects of plastic surgery care; however, he is most known for his uniquely natural appearing techniques in face and breast surgery. The majority of facelift and facial rejuvenation patients that seek out Dr. Maercks' expertise are not from Miami. Dr. Maercks' large European, South American, New York and West Coast patients fly in for the unique offerings at The Maercks Institute. "I do not like to send facelift patients home because there are a lot of unnecessary risks like falling or even bending over to pick something off the floor. These activities on the first night could potentially cause bleeding or hematoma. In my controlled facility patients are catered to-- and there just isn't this worry, blood pressure stays low because patients are relaxed and feel as if they are on vacation."

"In the unlikely event there is an urgent need, I am always close by and have full resources at my disposal twenty-four hours a day."

Dr. Maercks' morning check includes removing all bandages and checking for any residual blood collection which are easily and painlessly evacuated. Next Dr. Maercks' caring staff washes the patient's hair with luxurious aromatic treatments and the patients are free to shower in their luxury on-site accommodation and head home feeling fresh and clean.

"It can be scary to come to a city far away from home to have surgery with a physician that you have only met on the phone. My patients are instantly at ease when they come to the beautiful surround where they will spend the day and night instead of meeting me in a hospital and going to a hotel for the night."

"The response has been incredibly positive from all patients treated with my facelift and overnight stay. This is very different from my past experiences in hospitals with staff that are variable and not necessarily pleasant. This system makes it a delight to be the surgeon, the staff and the patient- true harmony!"

Dr. Maercks conducts limited private consultations at The Maercks Institute, 4500 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami FL 33137. Scheduling can be arranged by calling (305) 328-8256 or emailing Dr.Rian(at)RianMaercksMD(dot)com

Out of town patients can arrange e-consultations and schedule treatments by calling (305) 328-8256 or emailing Dr.Rian(at)RianMaercksMD(dot)com

Orange County Surgeon Talks About Facelift Recovery

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2013

"While I use expert techniques and a personalized touch to provide patients with natural-looking results after their facelift procedures, it's important that patients understand they will not see these results overnight," said Dr. Sadati, a board certified facial plastic surgeon who is based out of Newport Beach. "The recovery process is an important part of the surgery experience, and it solidifies the work that was done during the operation."

The facelift recovery process takes seven to 10 days to complete, and some side effects can linger for several months. Patients need to understand this fact, and make a commitment to resting and recovering before they undergo this procedure. The recovery process is the key to a successful surgery. Anyone in Orange County who is looking into a facelift procedure should know these facts about the facelift recovery process:

Bruising and swelling is common immediately after the operation, and can take seven to 10 days to subside. Most patients are ready to return to work and other daily obligations one week after the operation.

The patient's face will be bandaged after the operation. This is to protect the results as well as minimize the amount of bruising and swelling on the face. Patients should not shower or shampoo their hair until after the bandages have been removed.

The patient must keep their head elevated for at least two to three days after the surgery. This is a pivotal part of the process. Patients should note that if they don't keep their head elevated, the recovery process can be significantly longer.

Common side effects that are known to linger include tightness around the face and numbness near the surgical site.

Patients must be aware of the signs of infection and contact their surgeon immediately if they are experiencing any symptoms of infection. High fever, increased pain, drainage, redness or warmth at the incision site are common signs of infection.

Every patient who works with Dr. Sadati receives customized care and attention. He recognizes that every facelift procedure is different, just as every facelift candidate is unique. Every patient receives a customized surgical plan that addresses their individual needs, as well as post-operative instructions designed to aid them personally through the recovery process. This ensures that all patients gets the best, most natural-looking results possible after their operation.

"I make it a point to get to know every patient I work with on an individual basis, allowing me to create truly astounding results," said Dr. Sadati. "Most of my patients are shocked to look in the mirror after they recover and see the person they were 10 years prior to the operation."

Dr. Sadati is a pioneer in the cosmetic surgery industry, and he is constantly working to improve his surgical techniques for the benefit of his patients. To find out more information about Dr. Sadati, his practice or the facelift recovery process, contact his office today.

Orange County Facelift Expert Discusses Proper Care of Facelift Incisions

(PRWEB) May 28, 2013

"I feel it's essential that patients and caretakers understand what needs to be done during the recovery process," said Dr. Sadati. "Taking proper care of the incisions after the operation will ensure that there is minimal scarring on the patient's face."

In the blog post, Dr. Sadati identifies the following tips for taking care of incisions after a facelift procedure:

First and foremost, check the incision area for infection every day.

Avoid showering and shampooing hair until at least 48 hours after the operation. Patients should wait until their bandages are removed before they shower or bathe.

Wear sunscreen at all times, and keep the scars protected from the sun every day for at least a year. Patients should wear sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher regardless of whether it is a cloudy day or a sunny day.

Incisions should be cleaned each day during the recovery process.

Patients should purchase new makeup to wear after their operation. No makeup should be placed on or near the incisions, but should instead only be used to disguise any bruising that might be present on the face for several days after the surgery.

Patients should rest with their head elevated for 48 hours after the operation. This is one of the keys to a successful recovery and ensures the best results. Elevation helps to reduce the swelling on the face as well as minimize the pressure on the incisions, allowing the surgeon's best work to shine through in the end.

Do not remove steri-strips. Steri-strips are designed to fall off on their own when they are done protecting the incision.

Cold compresses can be used to help manage pain and keep the swelling down near the incision area.

Most patients who opt to have a facelift procedure performed want natural-looking results and want the procedure itself to remain discreet. Taking care of the incisions will help minimize the appearance of scars on a person's face, as well as ensure long-term results for the patient. It's important that any patient who is undergoing this particular surgery follow any and all post-operative instructions provided to them by Dr. Sadati.

"I make it a point to create custom recovery instructions for each patient so that everyone's individual needs are addressed," said Dr. Sadati. "These tips will help any patient through the recovery process, but it's important that they also follow the individual instructions that I provide them with prior to the surgery."

Through his extensive consultation process, Dr. Sadati gets to know each patient on an individual basis. He is careful to analyze many different factors before confirming that an individual is a good candidate for the facelift procedure. For him, it's essential that all patients understand the importance of the recovery process and its impact on their long-term results.
