Vertical Facelift

The new "Vertical Facelift" offers an effective alternative to the Traditional Facelift. As one ages, gravity causes the facial tissues to droop in a vertical direction. Traditional facelift surgery attempts to correct the problem by pulling in an unnatural, lateral direction, producing the so-called "wind swept look".

This new technique is considerably less invasive, safer and results in a more natural look by reshaping the deeper facial tissues in a vertical vector, virtually eliminating any visible scars.

The procedure is done through two tiny, inconspicuous incisions in the hairline and inside the mouth. The sutures are then carefully placed to suspend, reposition and secure the facial tissues in a vertical, more youthful position. There is less bruising and recovery time is reduced. This technique is also ideal for the patient with a previous facelift, who has an unnatural, pulled back look or the younger patient who does not want a traditional facelift or the visible scars it leaves on the face.

Dr. Renato Calabria has been on the forefront of this revolutionary new procedure and has also performed the procedure successfully on many patients. Dr. Calabria feels the "Vertical Facelift" is going to replace the traditional facelift.
