The Rapid Recovery Necklift Rises In Popularity As Consumers Want To Get Back To Work Within A Week

    NEW YORK, NY, February 05, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As the field of cosmetic surgery continues to evolve with the times, patients desire more personally-tailored procedures and the dramatic results they covet with less time away from the office. Today's patients are seeking out procedures that are safe, effective and predictable. They are spending more cautiously and are devoting more effort to doing their homework to avoid the pitfalls of highly touted procedures that do not last or look natural. To meet the demands of patients in the 40 - 55 year age bracket, Dr. Sam Rizk has pioneered the use of high definition 3D telescopic visualization of face neck structures, allowing surgery to be done with smaller incisions and greater precision. The Rapid Recovery Necklift technique works equally well for women and men, and downtime is minimized.

To determine which procedure is appropriate, Dr. Rizk carefully evaluates each patient's face and neck individually to identify the best rejuvenation method to meet their goals. For minimal aging and skin sagging, he may recommend a shorter scar lift because that may be all the patient needs. The Rapid Recovery Necklift addresses the early signs of aging along the lower face and jowls. It is a good bridge procedure for patients who may have been dissatisfied with the variable effects of skin tightening devices, and are ready for a minimally invasive surgical technique to take them to the next level.

The overriding goal is to provide a natural and long-lasting result with a smooth recovery so patients can return to work and normal activities looking like themselves, only refreshed and rejuvenated. Dr. Rizk often incorporate the use of various tissue sealants to speed the healing process, which can reduce bruising and swelling significantly.

In people with more advanced signs of aging and where more work needs to be done in the neck and jawline, he may have to address the deeper tissues by going under the muscle and sliding the layers back into their original youthful position. By lifting under the muscle, this technique can produce a more natural looking lift with longer lasting results.

In all cases, special care is taken to hide scars inside the ear so as not to disturb the hairline. Women can wear their hair up with no visible scarring within two weeks after surgery. In many instances, eyelid surgery to reduce fatty deposits and excess skin, and/or endoscopic browlifts may be performed at the same time as face and necklift surgery.
