When considering facial rejuvenation options, or specifically facelift options, you want to choose the procedure, physician and setting that is best for your specific needs.
That is why Dr. Douglas Stevens created The Active Lift®.
The purpose of the facelift is to re-suspend the structures of the face in order to re-establish a youthful jawline, neck and overall shape to the face. By re-suspending not just skin but the underlying facial tissues, Dr. Stevens is able to obtain a natural and long lasting result, and with The Active Lift® he is able to do it in a comfortable office setting.
The Active Lift® delivers the same long-lasting effects of a traditional facelift, but without the additional expense or risks of anesthesia or a surgery center. No other facial plastic surgery procedure can better soften the effects of time in a safer or more comfortable fashion. In fact, the idea behind the Active Lift® procedure was to increase safety and comfort.
The Active Lift® is a more affordable way to achieve facial rejuvenation with little downtime and only minimal oral sedation. The results of The Active Lift® are tighter, firmer contours which define the jawline and upper neck, giving you a more youthful appearance.
People are often concerned about general or intravenous (IV) sedation and the uncomfortable side effects that can go along with it (nausea, disorientation, etc.).
By performing The Active Lift® in the office under local anesthesia Dr. Stevens is able to provide patients with the results they seek without these common side effects.
Not every surgeon is comfortable performing facelifts under local anesthesia.
Dr. Stevens has performed more than 1,500 major cosmetic procedures under local anesthesia. There is simply no advantage in taking any extra risks or incurring additional costs of a surgical center or hospital when local anesthesia is a viable alternative, as with The Active Lift®.
