Facelifts have changed drastically over last decade & patients are having them at a younger age

Edmonton, AB -- (SBWire) -- 04/07/2015 --Facelift surgery has changed drastically over the last decade and those previously 'tell-tale' signs of facelift surgery are no more, due to the advent of the advanced facelift. It is now done under local anesthesia, with much smaller incisions, and far less downtime and recovery, and the results are natural and enable a person to look refreshed, not different! Eyelid rejuvenation surgery has followed that same trend and the lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid surgery) is rarely performed as better results are typically produced with non-invasive techniques and procedures.

These are the featured subjects this week on Inside Cosmetic Surgery Today on webtalkradio.net, when show host, Edmonton Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr Barry Lycka welcomes once again Dr Jon Mendelsohn, board-certified plastic surgeon and advanced facelift specialist from Cincinnati, Ohio.

In this in-depth interview, Dr Lycka & Dr Mendelsohn begin their discussion with a brief review of the problems of the 'old style' facelifts and how the latest advanced facelift techniques differ. They talk about the much younger age at which patients are now choosing facelift surgery and that they are choosing them as a preventative measure and not as a last one. Dr Mendelsohn highlights the new techniques, particularly the benefits of using local anesthesia and he describes the size and location of the incisions, and the recovery. The discussion then moves onto the benefits and drawbacks of eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). The two doctors talk about the upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures and both doctors agree that the lower eyelid surgery has largely been replaced by more effective treatment using fillers and skin treatments to greatly improve the lower eye area.
