Facelift

Face Lift Surgery in Hawaii

Youth and beauty go hand in hand. This is especially so on your face, where smooth skin and lifted features can have a big impact on your appearance. If your face doesn't look the way you'd like and you're bothered by wrinkles and loose, sagging facial skin, then a face lift from Dr. Todd Mirzai could be just what you need.

To learn more about face lift surgery, you can request an appointment online or contact us by phone or email.

Reasons for Considering Face Lift Surgery

A face lift can be a fairly comprehensive procedure that improves several conditions. For example, it can address:

· Loose or sagging skin

· Deep wrinkles and creases

· Loss of muscle tone (causing jowls)

· Excess fat deposits under the skin and jaw

If you're not ready for surgery, you may want to consider non-surgical facial rejuvenation including treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, and injectable fillers.

General Procedure

In most cases, our face lift procedures are performed using TIVA (Total IV Anesthesia), offering several benefits, including: reduced post-operative pain, reduced risk of blood clots in the legs, lower incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting, and avoidance of "hangover" effects.

As the name implies, our Honolulu face lift patients have skin and underlying tissue lifted during their procedures. Excess fat and skin are removed or repositioned. Our surgeons personalize the face lift procedure for each patient's individual needs. Based on the areas you'd like to target, they will make an incision along the hairline from your temples to behind your lower ear, lower on the temples and around the ear, or wrapped around the ear to the lower scalp.

If patients would like to further reduce the signs of aging, Dr. Mirzai can combine your face lift with other surgical procedures such as facial implants or eyelid surgery. One of the benefits of our practice is that two procedures can be performed simultaneously as our highly-qualified surgeons work together.

Recovery Process

Our practice will make every effort to ensure that recovery is as comfortable as possible after your face lift. Our Maui surgery center even offers private bungalows for patients flying in from the other islands. No matter where you recover, you'll need to rest and relax during the first few days after surgery so that your body can begin to heal properly. After a week or two, you should be able to return to your normal routine. Any scars that remain after a face lift are generally well-hidden and not noticeable.

Testimonials

Having been a longtime patient of Dr. Mirzai I know that they are always the first to bring in new technology and procedures to the Islands. They do extensive research and travel worldwide to make sure they are in the leading edge. Therefore I was thrilled but not surprised when Dr. Mirzai told me about two new procedures being exclusively offered by Hawaii Plastic Surgery Assocates. The first a new treatment for frown lines that lasts months longer than Botox! And does not involve injecting toxins! The second a revolutionary facelift without the surgery, anesthesia, or downtime of a traditional facelift. The procedure is called Thermi-lift, is minimally invasive and takes about sixty to ninety minutes. There is some swelling after, but gone within forty-eight hours. Some results are seen immediately! With the full benefit visible in about three months. I decided to have it done right away and am so pleased with the results! I look better, feel better and did not have to take any time off work!
Thank you Dr. Mirzai

I had been experiencing severe neck pain and numbness in my arm and fingers from all the strain of my large, heavy breasts. After meeting several months of appointments with my primary care physician and physical therapist, breast reduction surgery was the recommendation to improve my symptoms. My primary care physician referred me to a doctor in Honolulu. There were not many doctors who performed this operation in Maui, of course only implants!

I went to the consultation in Honolulu with the referred doctor. To say I was shocked by his prognosis, is an understatement. He didn’t care to listen to my concerns about the surgery or that I may potentially want to breast feed when I have kids. He made me feel like I was deformed. He actually talked about removing my nipples and tattooing them on. Needless to say I was out of there. It was obvious that he had his own agenda and it didn’t match mine.

After meeting Dr. Mirzai, I was impressed from the very start. He has a wonderful countenance and was very informative about my options. He explained the procedure in detail, the pros and the cons, and everything else in between. He agreed that my breasts were too heavy and felt like he could help me get back to a normal life, without me loosing my womanhood. Michelle, his assistant, was also wonderful. She followed up with me very quickly and made sure that I had everything that I needed regarding the insurance, surgery, prescriptions, appointment…etc. She’s definitely an asset!

The surgery was a huge success, no complications. He removed 2 ½ lbs from each breast and my neck pain and finger numbness are all gone. I didn’t loose my nipple sensations, and there is a strong possibility that I will be able to lactate, when the time comes. They definitely improved my quality of life.

I just want to say a BIG MAHALO to Dr. Mirzai, Michelle and all of his staff for all of their friendly and professional service! I would recommend Dr. Mirzai and his team for anyone who needs this operation. Please feel free to e-mail me at tj.moore@clearwire.net with any questions about my surgery.
