A Step by Step Walkthrough of Facelift Surgery Procedure

Everyone wants to have firm and smooth facial skin last their whole life. However, due to the passage of time, exposure to the elements, and a host of other factors, skin will be adversely affected. This is especially true for facial skin. Oftentimes, skin will become loose and saggy, and start to develop age signs such as lines and wrinkles. This can result in an unnecessarily aged and tired appearance.

Individuals who are looking to address loose skin and age signs can benefit from a facelift surgery procedure in New York City. This procedure is an excellent option for addressing lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity around the face. A face lift can be used to turn back the hands of time and restore an appearance that is several years younger!

What happens during a facelift procedure?

A facelift is a relatively straightforward procedure. It is carried out as an outpatient procedure. When starting a facelift, a general anesthetic will be administered. Once the anesthetic takes effect, the incisions will be made. These incisions are made on the scalp along the hairline and behind the ear. They are made so that is it difficult to notice, and will be concealed towards the end of the procedure.

After the incisions are made, the skin will be pulled up and elevated. This allows the surgeon to access the facial muscles, which will be lifted up and tightened. After this is done, the skin is pulled to create a natural, more youthful appearance. Any excess skin that remains will be neatly removed. As a result, the underlying structure of the face as well as the skin which was affected by gravity, is refreshed and any age signs will be improved. While this is being done, fat around the face may also be redistributed to give a more appealing facial contour. 

Once this is done, the surgeon will stitch the skin in place behind ear and along the hairline. With time, the incisions and stitches will fade away and become inconspicuous, ensuring that the patient will not have any scarring visible on their face.

The complete procedure is masterfully executed with the incisions being hidden behind the ear and along the hairline, and a result that looks natural and several years younger.

Thrive revolutionizes abdominal, buttock contouring with unprecedented, non-invasive Emsculpt® technology

Portland, OR, January 21, 2019 – Thrive welcomes the first and only FDA-cleared technology that both strengthens muscles and eliminates fat around the waistline and backside: Emsculpt® by BTL Aesthetics.

Conventional aesthetic treatments only address fat. They do n’t account for the muscles that make up 35 percent of the human body. Emsculpt ® offers both muscle tone and fat cell reduction at the next level in a single type of procedure and without the need to go under the knife. It’s an ideal “dual treatment” for patients who are seeking improved tone and contours in hard-to-target, fatty areas such as the abdomen and “love handles.” Emsculpt® is also a predictable, non-invasive alternative to popular yet controversial surgical and injectable buttock augmentation procedures.

Emsculpt ® technology's "magic "

The power of Emsculpt lies in the use of high- intensity focused electromagnetic technology( HIFEM).This unique magnetic field penetrates through the skin and into fat and muscle tissue. Once penetrated, the energy that is produced induces 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions, as well as arapid metabolic reaction in fat cells. These powerful muscle contractions are not achievable by the human brain, and are critical to building muscles and burning fat

Extremely accurate - only treated tissues penetrate and altered ; the surrounding tissues remain alone.

Injections are not necessary – A truly non-invasive procedure

Risks and downtimes are minimized-Surgical procedures are usually associated with longer healing times and increased risk of complications.

In seven clinical studies, BTL Aesthetics reports patients whose abdominal region was treated with

Emsculpt® technology had a:

· 19% reduction in subcutaneous fat

· 16% boost in muscle mass

· Average waistline reduction of 4.4 cm (around 1.73 inches)

Although each patient is different, the Thrive team usually recommends treatments of 4 to 6, 30 minutes over two weeks. Results are gradually revealed, with noticeable improvement three to six months after treatment.

“Emsculpt now offers a treatment for our fitness-focused patients who are not candidates for existing technologies, because they don’t have excess bulk or fat to lose,” said Thrive Medical Director and Board Certified Physician Dr. Adam Maddox. “By finally addressing muscle tone, this treatment supports individuals’ dedication to active and healthy lifestyles, addressing and further defining particularly stubborn Areas.”
