Will I have pain?
Dr. Kass uses a special type of local anesthesia called tumescent
anesthesia with mild sedation. This results in less bruising and a
faster recovery. During the procedure, you are relaxed, comfortable, and
pain free. You may actually sleep while the Weekend Lift is being done!
After this quick lift procedure, there is minimal discomfort and
practically no pain whatsoever.
How long is the recovery?
Cosmetic patients want and expect natural-looking results with minimal
down time and minimal risk. The Weekend Lift gives patients exactly what
they are looking for. It avoids the overly drawn “wind-tunnel” or lifted
appearance which is the number one concern of most patients asking about
the procedure.
The second most common concern is about
the length of the recovery. Perhaps the greatest benefit of the Weekend
Lift lies in the speed of your recovery after the procedure. Typically,
people are recovered in just three or four days! Amazingly, we have even
seen patients who return to work the very next day. And sometimes, if
disguised properly, co-workers may not be able to see the incision even
on the first postoperative day!
What is the difference between
the Weekend Lift and the S Lift and all of these other “Lifts” I have
heard about?
The difference between the
Weekend Lift and the S Lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension-Lift or
MACS-Lift) is that the S Lift is really designed to address problems of
the jowl in patients age 40-60 and offers only moderate neck tightening
whereas the Weekend Lift is designed to treat both problem areas in
people of any age. For many patients, an S Lift is all that is
necessary. But for others, with loose skin, fat, or unsightly bands in
the neck, the Weekend Lift is the preferred procedure. At the time of
your consultation, Dr. Kass will be happy to address which procedure
would be best for you.
The difference between the
Weekend Lift and the other “Lifts” you may have heard about is that the
Weekend Lift has been uniquely designed by Dr. Kass, who has over 25
years of clinical practice and who has treated thousands of satisfied
patients. His technique, developed and perfected over time, minimizes
the incision but maximizes the outcome. The results are fabulous, with
minimal discomfort and extremely rapid recovery.
Of course, we are aware of the
other “Lifts” which are advertised, sometimes on the radio, sometimes
through “infomercials” and on TV. These “Lifts” use trademarked names,
and are performed by a host of surgeons, of varying abilities and
experience, but they have lots of marketing muscle behind them. It is
truly impossible for the patient to really know what he or she is
getting when they go for one of these trademarked “Lifts.” The price
may sometimes be cheaper than what we can offer, but the value and the
quality may be lacking. In some instances, attorney generals have
actually brought lawsuits against well known cosmetic practices that
offer these trademarked “Lifts” because of untrue claims and
“testimonials” on the internet as well as deceptive marketing
practices.
With our S Lift, and with our
signature Weekend Lift, we strive to be competitive in price with both
the commercial, trademarked “Lifts,” as well as with other conscientious
surgeons. We understand that price is a very important factor in a
patient’s decision making process. But we firmly believe in the value
and the quality of our S and our Weekend Lifts. Furthermore, we firmly
believe that the compassion, the patience, and the experience that we
offer our patients, is without equal anywhere. Why not make an
appointment and judge for yourself?
What will I look Like?
To get an idea of what you will look like after a Weekend Lift, find a
picture of yourself from 10 or 15 years ago. This is what the Weekend
Lift can do for you. It restores the youthful lines and contours of the
face and neck by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying
facial layers. The Weekend Lift will not make you look like a different
person entirely. But it will make you look younger, more refreshed,
rested and healthy.
The Weekend Lift is a quick lift
procedure which produces fantastic results with much less recovery time
and lower costs than other similar procedures. The Weekend Lift provides
years of improvement, and the boost it provides in your self-confidence
may improve your lifestyle and even be correlated with higher pay.
