New Outpatient Procedure Erases up to 10 Years Instantly
The QuickLift™, developed by Dominic Brandy, MD, dramatically reduces the signs of facial aging with little downtime.
(PRWEB) May 14, 2005 -- A revolutionary outpatient procedure called the
QuickLift™ tightens sagging skin in the lower face in a minimally invasive way
and offers patients significant improvement immediately afterwards.
Dominic Brandy, MD, a Pittsburgh-based board-certified cosmetic surgeon
and developer of the QuickLift, has revamped the traditional facelift by
offering patients marked results without a lengthy recovery. According to Dr.
Brandy, some patients are treated on a Friday and return to work on Monday or
Tuesday with a more youthful appearance and improved self-esteem.
The
QuickLift is performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours
depending on the patient’s degree of skin laxity and the physician who performs
the procedure.
“There are three primary differences with the QuickLift,
when compared to conventional lifting techniques, said Dr. Brandy. “The
QuickLift involves smaller incisions, purse-string sutures are used to tighten
the subcutaneous musculature and prolong the result, and the procedure is done
under local anesthesia, which minimizes the risk of complications. The results
we’ve achieved for our patients have been quite dramatic, and very
predictable.”
Who is an ideal candidate for a QuickLift™?
The
QuickLift is suggested for healthy men and women between the ages of 45 and 65+
with excess skin along their jaw lines and under their chins. Additional
procedures, such as liposuction of the neck or eyelid surgery, can be performed
with a QuickLift to address other conditions including double chins and excess
skin above or beneath the eyes.
Is the technique medically
proven?
Variations of the QuickLift have been performed for more than 30
years. As with any surgical procedure, recovery time and results vary with each
doctor and patient.
Will visible scarring be present?
Most patients
who have adhered to proper post-op care state that the incision lines are
virtually undetectable. This may be possible because the incision lines are
carefully planned along the sideburn area, behind the tragus of the ear and
around the earlobe toward the nape, and suturing is performed under
magnification to ensure more precise closure.
