The Tuliplift™: A New Option in Facelifts
The Tuliplift -- a minimally invasive, safer and faster healing mini facelift that's customized to each patient.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 29, 2005 -- Answering increasing patient demand
for more versatile and natural looking facelift options, David Rahimi, MD,
created the Tuliplift. A mini facelift, the Tuliplift is a fully customizable
procedure that addresses a patient’s problem areas more effectively than
traditional or other mini facelifts. And since the Tuliplift is minimally
invasive, it’s safer and heals more quickly.
“One size
doesn’t fit all,” explains Dr. Rahimi. “The days of giving everyone the same
facelift are long gone. This applies to mini facelifts, as well.” Like other
successful mini lifts, the Tuliplift offers a number of basic benefits: no
cutting into the hairline, no pulled look thanks to the use of deeper sutures
underneath the skin and a safer procedure because all the work gets done above
the major nerves and with the aid of local anesthesia and mild
sedation.
That’s where the similarities end. The Tuliplift stands out
from the current spate of mini facelifts in three important ways:
One,
the sutures have three different vectors—like three different petals of the
tulip—that each address a separate problem of the aging face. The first "petal"
pulls the face horizontally and slightly up; the second tightens the jowls; and
the third deals with the sagging of the neck.
Two, the three sutures
allow Dr. Rahimi to individualize the lift for each patient. “For example, if
the jowls are heavy, I can assess and tighten that part of the lift more and
achieve a better, more aggressive result,” says Dr. Rahimi. “Think of it as a
three dimensional lift with three lifting levers which can be
customized.”
Third, the Tuliplift requires a certain level of artistry
from the practitioner. “It’s necessary for the surgeon to have a light hand and
an overall sense of aesthetics. This is what makes the Tuliplift different,”
says Dr. Rahimi. “I always tell patients to bring photos of when they were 15
years younger. Most facelift patients don't want to look drastically different.
They want to look rested and natural. The Tuliplift provides this
balance.”
Recovery can take as little as one week with many patients
going back to work in seven days. And since the procedure is performed under
local anesthesia, there is a dramatically lower risk of complication. To learn
