FACELIFT / MINI FACELIFT

Real patient results from Marina Plastic Surgery

Why let the years give away your age? Growing older does not have to involve looking old. The years, the elements, and stress work against us all to create wrinkles and sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, and neck. You might be surprised to learn how many people have rejuvenated their face and erased years from their look across the globe and the nation, as well as nearby in Los Angeles, with facelift surgery. At Marina Plastic Surgery, we strive to deliver the best facelifts Los Angeles has to offer.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, improves the appearance of the lower two-thirds of the face by tightening sagging facial muscles, smoothing wrinkled skin, and removing excess fat. This procedure is often combined with a neck lift for improvements under the chin. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia but can be performed using local anesthesia with sedation. 

Our patients with less advanced wrinkling and sagging can sometimes benefit from the less invasive mini facelift. Every face is different, and our expert surgeons can tailor procedures to meet your demands according to their distinctive approaches and specializations.

The best candidates for a facelift are healthy individuals (often between 40 and 80 years old) who are nonsmokers and have reasonable expectations for their improved appearance. Many of our Los Angeles facelift patients elect to combine their procedure with other facial plastic surgery procedures, such as a brow lift, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty.

• Lifts and firms aged skin, reducing jowls, and firming the neck. Simultaneously addresses multiple signs of aging for a more youthful appearance.
• Contours and tightens your facial features.
• Eliminates jowls or a double chin by defining and refining your jawline.
• Reverses time by as much as ten years.
• Reduces or eliminates lines and wrinkles around the mouth, including marionette lines and smile lines.
• Replaces volume loss in drooping cheeks.
• Enhances self-confidence.

Mini facelift surgery is particularly effective for younger patients in Los Angeles who possess good skin elasticity. The benefits of this procedure include:

• Smaller incisions
• Minimal scarring
• Less bleeding

• Minimal numbness
• Quicker recovery

Most Los Angeles men and women have busy and active lifestyles and want to look as beautiful as they feel. A traditional facelift can help our patients achieve their beauty goals, this tried and true method can produce beautiful, natural looking results for our patients.

The lower region of your face often shows the earliest signs of aging and is the procedure's focus. Many patients refer to this treatment as a "weekend facelift" because the incisions are less than a complete facelift and the recuperation time is substantially shorter.

The first area of your body to age is frequently your neck, which has sagging skin and deep creases that make you appear much older. At Marina Plastic Surgery, our surgeons perform a neck lift to contour and smooth your neck for a more youthful, natural-looking appearance. In order to provide a more thorough facial rejuvenation, facelift surgery is frequently combined with neck lift surgery to address aging issues along the neck and jawline.

Justin Perez, MD is a UT Southwestern Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Graduate. He completed his medical training at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, where he graduated with honors. He subsequently completed a rigorous plastic surgery residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX – ranked the #1 plastic surgery training program in the country. There he was fortunate to train with giants in the field, many of whom pioneered surgical techniques widely used in plastic surgery today. He was then hand-selected to work under the mentorship of world-expert Dr. Grant Stevens and joins us here at Marina Plastic Surgery. His calm demeanor coupled with his meticulous dedication to detail and aesthetic eye make him an excellent addition to our team. He offers the full spectrum of aesthetic surgery, including surgical options for the face and body as well as nonsurgical treatments like injectables, lasers, and skin resurfacing treatments. He has published articles and textbook chapters in aesthetic surgery used to educate surgeons in training about techniques in rhinoplasty. He has reviewed journal articles for the Aesthetic Surgery Journal and the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal.

"Dr. Perez was exceptionally skilled, patient, and present each time I met with him. I truly chose the right office for my procedure. There was zero pressure or upsell. He and his nurses and office personnel each listened with the intent of giving me my own best version of myself, and not what they might have thought I should do. Their input was not part of the discussion until they had a clear vision of my personal goals for the surgery. I am truly grateful for this approach, and feel that makes him trustworthy when I consider future procedures. My results were just what he predicted and just what I wanted."

"Individuality. That's what sets Dr. Perez apart from other aesthetic plastic surgeons. From the moment I had my consultation, I felt this experience was tailored specifically to me and my aesthetic goals. I was quite nervous having my first cosmetic procedure, because there really is no one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Perez was there every step of the way to ensure I was comfortable with the overall plan, process, and follow-up care. As the weeks went by following my procedure, I could see my photos reflecting my aesthetic goals and feel my confidence building up with the way I walk around, talk with people, and enjoy life. This energy drives me to do my best, every single day. I could not have asked for - or even imagined - a better result. I’m so glad I made the decision to have my procedure done, and I’m glad Dr. Perez was the one to do it.

"I couldn't be happier with my results. My breasts were not the same after being pregnant and nursing my daughter. I wanted to look and feel sexy again so I decided to get a breast lift, breast augmentation and inverted nipple correction. I was a full C before having a kid and then my breasts deflated. Dr. Perez worked his magic and now I have volume and normal looking nipples. I have never felt so confident and sexy. Dr. Perez made me feel incredibly comfortable and answered every question to help relieve my anxiety. He had all the answers and thoroughly went through all my options. I asked and he delivered exactly what I wanted 100%. What I appreciated most was he communicated with me throughout the entire process-from the consultation to the recovery process. I don’t know of any doctor that treats his patients with that kind of care."
