The Custom Face Lift Approach To Facial Aging

The philosophy of face lifts has dramatically changed over the last decade or so. Plastic surgeons are now looking at improved ways of addressing facial aging in order to obtain a more natural, youthful appearance without looking “overdone.”

The Custom Face Lift

Joseph T Cruise, MD, a top plastic surgeon in Orange County, has developed the Custom Face Lift approach for his patients seeking facial rejuvenation. He understands a “one size fits all” mindset is not ideal for obtaining optimal results. The Custom Face Lift is a methodical way of identifying the individual causes of each patients facial aging and applying the least invasive correction method possible. This allows for predictable results with minimal down time, as well as correcting the underlying problem, rather than creating a pulled look when focusing only on skin-tightening.

Take a look at the illustrations below to view the anatomy of a younger face compared with an older aging face.

During the consultation Joseph T Cruise, MD evaluates facial aging by dividing the face into anatomically linked regions: upper face, mid-face, lower face and neck.

Dr. Cruise’s Six Procedure Types

Joseph T Cruise, MD then determines which of the 6 common procedures (face lift, neck lift, temple lift, upper eyes, lower eyes and fat transfer) are necessary to address the needs of the patient. In using this approach, there are a variety of benefits to the patient such as, providing a natural result without looking over-done, eliminates the need for a repeat face lift by addressing the underlying facial muscle structure, and the addition of fat to areas of volume loss improves the three dimensional appearance of the face while improving skin texture and quality.

The overwhelming success of the Custom Face Lift, offered by Joseph T Cruise, MD, has improved the self confidence and lifestyle of aging patients throughout Orange County and the Southern California region. As one patient said, “I was surprised how those close to me commented on how refreshed I looked without guessing I had work done. I am so glad I did this at 52 instead of waiting. I can now enjoy the results for years to come.”
