A new progression is clutching the plastic surgery domain by storm and it is based on current techniques and concepts of how we estimate beauty and facial regeneration. Dr. Renato Calabria of VerticalFacelift.com calls it the “deflation theory”.
In the face, the growing process starts deterioration of the skin and concealed layers while the effect of gravity causes the fibers of the face to sag in a vertical direction creating redundant skin and “jowls”.
The culminating aftereffect is an complete loss of capacity of the face (the deflation effect) and a respective shift of bulk from certain areas of the face to other, diminished desirability in areas such as the nasolabial fold, the jaw line, the areas around the eyes and the neck.
Usual plastic surgery tries to correct the difficulty by pulling in an irregular, oblique direction, producing the so-called “wind swept look”. Also commonplace facelifts produce a flattening effect on the face from pulling the skin tight.
Therefore facial rejuvenation has been vexed for years by two major blunders: incorrect direction of the pull vector, (lateral vs vertical) and bidimensional, skin-only, (flattening) approach.
The way Botticelli painted Simonetta Vespucci in his Primavera’s, you can appreciate the “volume theory” of a budding, alluring face: basically, becoming older creates volume loss and the main goal of a face lift should be to reestablish the lost volume.
In the same way Botticelli fashioned his paintings, the vertical facelift was conceived: thinking in a three dimensional fashion by restoring volume and, therefore, youthful shape and allure.
Procedural planning is very important: in order to create the appropriate road map for the procedure pictures of the patient from their 20′s and 30′s are combined and analyzed with current pictures of the patient.
Thanks to modern endoscopic technology achieving the desired goal is possible with minimally invasive procedures and nominal scarring for a Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Newport Beach and Palm Springs, California facelift.
Cameras adhered to scopes, instituted through tiny cuts project magnified video to our operating room TVs, thereby permitting us to access crucial regions of the face, with specially designed instruments, and modify and shape underlying tissues according to our aesthetic needs.
Using similar technology, the vertical facelift is performed. Two tiny, concealed incisions in the hairlines and inside the mouth are made. Sutures are cautiously placed in a created space to suspend and adjust the facial tissues vertically, giving a younger look.
This method alone renders less swelling and bruising, along with expelling visible scars. It reduces recovery to under a week. It’s great for individuals whom want to revise an existing facelift with anomalous wind blown look.
Thanks to the diminished scarring and less invasiveness, this method is highly accepted by younger clientele. With older clientele we integrate with the vertical facelift, an endoscopic neck lift to decrease the redundant extra skin on the neck.
Restoring volume in cheeks and nasolabial fold, via fat mecrografting, is achieved with an endoscopic brow lift. The finished product is a soft, natural, youthful look, with restored volume.
Dr. Calabria would like to acknowledge the other minds whose thinking has triggered him the most: Bill Little, M.D., Steve Hoefflin, M.D., Oscar Ramirez M.D., Sam Hamra, M.D., and Sherrell Aston, M.D.
