Lazer-Lift Overview
A double-chin, sagging jaw line or rounded face are sure-fire ways to make a person look older. And often it is these exact spots that do not respond to weight loss or exercise. Some people are simply genetically built to age this way. Fat deposits in these locations pull down on the face and can really detract from otherwise good looks.
It used to be that face or neck lifts were the only option, but today's technology has produced newer techniques that remove the unwanted rounded and sagginess in a less invasive manner. This means a shorter surgery time, shorter recovery time, fewer risks, and less visible scarring. Lazer-Lift is one of these techniques and it provides great results.
Lazer-Lift combines the precision of Tumescent Liposculpture to get rid of unwanted fatty deposits with the strengthening of Laser treatments to strengthen underlying muscles and tendons. Dr. Schafer is now using Erchonia and Polaris lasers for optimal smoothing and tightening of the skin and underlying tissues. Lazer-Lift gets rid of the extra bulk under the chin or around the jaw line while rejuvenating the surrounding supporting tissues. The neck becomes slimmer, the face becomes thinner, and the skin becomes tauter, creating a younger, more vibrant look.
Less Invasive with Great Results
Because Lazer-Lift is far less invasive that the traditional face lift, recovery times are shorter and people can get back to their regular lives more quickly. Lazer-Lift only requires inch-long scars that can be placed in inconspicuous areas so that there is less scarring and it is less noticeable. Lazer-Lift is commonly done as an outpatient procedure. Combining Lazer-Lift with Dr. Schaffer's Rapid Recovery Method can boost the healing rate even more. Patients may experience fewer surgical side effects or discomfort and heal more quickly with less bruising or swelling.
Shorter Recovery Times
Lazer-Lift is perfect for the working person who cannot take much time off from their job, an older person who does not want a face lift, or a younger person who wants to minimize the signs of aging but who does not need a face lift.
Lazer-Lift not only makes people look younger, it can often make them look thinner. Oftentimes, extra skin or fat around the neck or jowls is not a sign of being overweight, but can make the person appear heavier. After Lazer-Lift they may look thinner and fitter. For those who are a little bit younger than the age of a typical face lift patient, having Lazer-Lift done can actually help to extend the amount of time before an actual face lift is needed. Lazer-Lift can often prolong the need for a face lift for 10 years.
