World-class Plastic Surgeon in Palo Alto, CA
Dr. Graw’s education and experience allowed her to master the most advanced facelift techniques. Her state-of-the-art training in exclusive facial rejuvenation techniques was under the direct apprenticeship of the world-class leader in facelift and eyelid surgery, Dr. Seung Kim. The types of facelift procedures she performs are as follows:
Midface lift
Dr. Graw’s midface lift technique is an advanced technique only performed by a select few surgeons, involving the restoration of the malar fat pad (the natural fat pad located beneath the eye structure) position. With age, this fat pad progressively drifts lower on the face. With Dr. Graw’s suspension technique, the fat pad is restored to its youthful position, subtly boosting cheek volume, smoothing smile lines, and rejuvenating the lower eyes. This technique is performed as an outpatient procedure.
Lower facelift
A lower facelift is performed by manipulating the SMAS, the layer of connective tissue beneath the skin and above the facial muscles, in multiple ways, depending on the specific needs of your face. When this layer is addressed with meticulous care, the outcome is natural, refreshed, and long-lasting. The lower facelift allows for improved jawline definition, and can be combined with other procedures such as liposuction and fat grafting to achieve a more refined and rejuvenated appearance.
Revision facelift
A facelift performed years in the past often requires a carefully planned, custom revision. A revision facelift can correct imperfections from the initial surgery, such as visible scarring, an unnatural appearance, functional issues, recurrence of sagging skin, amongst other issues. In addition, Dr. Graw can help you achieve a more proportional, youthful face with the combination of other procedures, such as an eyelid lift, midface lift, and/or earlobe reduction, among others.
