The Next Generation of Facelift Procedures

Beverly Hills PROFILES is proud to present The Hybrid Lift™ & The Hybrid Facelift™

As the premiere Beverly Hills and Los Angeles Facelift Surgeons, we were the first to recognize that there was a better way to achieve everything our facelift patients wanted. The result has been the proprietary Hybrid Lift™, created by the facelift surgeons Dr Litner and Dr Solieman of PROFILES Beverly Hills.

The Hybrid Lift™ is the only facelift that, in one procedure, addresses the two main signs of facial aging:

• Loss of tone and increased laxity of facial skin and muscles, and
• Loss of facial fat and bony volume

This innovative face lift surgery procedure combines the best of all available techniques and provides results that are superior to the Mini Face Lift and the Traditional Facelift. As well recognized specialists in facial plastic surgery, we know that for facial rejuvenation to work optimally, lifting and volume must be coupled in cosmetic facelift surgery. In fact, we’ve had the opinion for some time that some sort of volume is needed as part of any procedure that deals with the cheek and under eye area. So, we’ve incorporated micro fat transfer as part of our Hybrid Lift™ in the cheek area and around the mouth for most of our patients who are face lift candidates. In this way we are able to give your entire face a consistently smooth, youthful convexity without the usual negatives of a traditional face lift.

During the Hybrid Lift™ we achieve volume enhancement using your own fat because much of it will last permanently and, perhaps most importantly, it is natural and safe. We remind you that none of the other fillers to date have FDA approval outside the scope of the nasolabial folds and perhaps lips. As far as surgery, mini face lifts occasionally are indicated, but we have found that patient satisfaction and long term natural results really depend on addressing the underlying, descending tissue (the SMAS).

How is a Hybrid Lift™ performed?

The Hybrid Lift™ is a minimally invasive procedure. This means it is performed through an incision that is shorter than the usual mini face lift. And, the incision is hidden within the folds of the ear so that it is virtually invisible when healed. The diagrams and photos on this page show how our Hybrid Lift™ matches up against other common face lifts and neck lifts.

With the Hybrid Lift™ the skin is lifted in the lower face and neck so that the excess can be appropriately trimmed. But, we then go into a deeper plane to extensively lift the sagging tissues underneath the skin. It’s this lift that actually creates a lasting, naturally beautiful outcome and minimizes swelling and bruising of the skin, shortening your recovery time. All the tension of the lift is placed on these deep tissues so your skin can drape naturally over your jawline and cheek bones without ever having a hint of a pulled look. The extra saggy skin is tailored and removed via the smaller incision which leaves less scarring and also leads to a quicker recovery. And a quicker recovery means you can start looking fabulous even sooner!

What are the benefits of The Hybrid Lift™?

Here you can see the key differences with our Hybrid Lift™. The incision is limited to the ear itself so that it becomes virtually invisible. Yet, the cheek, jawline, and neck are extensively treated (shown in light blue) to ensure a natural and lasting lift. Most of this work is done on the deep tissues so that bruising and swelling are minimized. The natural rejuvenation is completed by tailored fat transfer to the folds around the mouth and under eye areas as shown in deep blue. We encourage you to call us to see if this innovative lift is right for you.

The Los Angeles and Beverly Facelift specialists at PROFILES Dr. Solieman and Dr. Litner came up with their Hybrid Lift™ after listening to what countless patients were thinking when it came to face lifts. Why Hybrid? Because we’ve taken the best of all the facelift procedures and merged them with volume enhancement, to give you the best facelift you can get anywhere, bar none. The Hybrid Lift™ gives you all the benefits of a long lasting natural facelift but with minimal scarring that does not go up into your hairline. So, you don’t have to worry about hair loss or having your sideburn moved halfway up your scalp. There are no visible scars so you can wear your hair in any style you like. And, unlike mini face lifts, the results really last! Because we combine the small incision with lifting of all the deep tissues of your lower face, you’ll get a lasting natural improvement in the neck, along the jaw line, and in the cheek area. And, best of all, we can customize the Hybrid Lift™ procedure to suit your individual needs. We individually tailor every aspect of this innovative facelift procedure from the lift to the amount and areas of fat to be volumized.

Perhaps most importantly for all of you who have to get back to work, the recovery and bruising after a Hybrid Lift™ are kept to a minimum. While you won’t be lunching out the next day, our Hybrid Lift™ patients are presentable and back to their activities soon after the procedure.

 

What are the benefits of the Hybrid Lift™?

The key benefits of the Hybrid Lift™ are:

1. By doing a deep lift we are able to reposition the deep supporting tissues (the SMAS) back into their proper location.

2. By using a minimal incision, we never get into the hairlines, move hair tufts, or get a windswept appearance.

3. Unlike mini face lifts, because we do the work in the deep layers, the results last.

4. By adding fat and restoring volume, we fill out the concavities that lead to an aged appearance and we restore the youthful heart-shaped facial structure to which people are drawn.

5. By using your own fat as a facial filler, we are confident that the results last and are natural. Temporary facial fillers unfortunately are just that: temporary. Permanent facial fillers all too often are not tested for safety in these other areas, are not approved for these uses by the FDA, and are used in “off- label” procedures whose safety is unclear. You never need to worry about the long-term effects of facial fillers with our Hybrid Lift™.

For us, the question of which face lift procedure is right for you is answered during your Imaging Consultation once we have gauged the degree of aging and skin laxity among other factors, and weighed these against your needs, desires, fears, and limitations. Unlike other cosmetic surgery facelift centers dedicated to one particular procedure, we move away from gimmicky “cosmetic procedures” and concentrate on customizing a treatment plan to best suit your goals. As a result, at PROFILES we have the top Los Angeles and Beverly Hills facelift specialists who take every care in planning your cosmetic facelift surgery in order to preserve your natural features while giving you the younger and more vibrant look you want so much.

Our Hybrid Lift™ has revolutionized the way facial plastic surgeons think about and approach facial rejuvenation. The aesthetic results we have seen with the Hybrid Lift™ have been nothing short of fantastic. And, our patients love that they can be up and around after only a few days.

Beverly Hills Profiles - The Hybrid Lift™

The following information is provided to give you a basic understanding of the Profiles Hybrid Lift™, including how it can help you, how it is performed, and what you can expect. Because much of facial plastic surgery is dependent upon your individual characteristics, a personal Profiles Consultation is the best way to have all of your questions about the Profiles Facelift answered and your specific needs addressed.

Beverly Hills Profiles - Hybrid Lift™ Facelift Surgery Candidates

A Hybrid Lift™ can improve your self-confidence and provide you a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

In general, we have found that men and women who have some elasticity in their skin and a strong, well-defined bone structure are the best candidates for a Hybrid Lift™. Other factors that we will take into consideration during your consultation include your skin type, your individual healing, your ethnic background, and your smoking history.

While the majority of our Hybrid Lift™ patients range in age from their forties to their sixties, facelifts are successfully performed at PROFILES on patients in their seventies and eighties.

As you decide to undergo a Profiles Hybrid Lift™, you can also ask your doctors if there are any additional surgeries that they would recommend to enhance your facial appearance.

Planning Your Profiles Hybrid Lift™

Your Profiles Beverly Hills Hybrid Lift™ is a very individualized procedure. At PROFILES, we utilize modern and time proven techniques which we know will last long term and allow you to achieve the goals youre seeking. During your personal Profiles Consultation, we will evaluate your face, skin, and underlying bone structure. Photographs will be taken so your doctors can further study your face and utilizing state of the art computer imaging systems we will show you what we can achieve. Moreover, we welcome you to discuss the pros and cons of other procedures you may have heard about including the various lunch time or thread lifts, lasers and radiofrequency modalities.

Preparing For Surgery at PROFILES Surgery Center

Prior to your Hybrid Lift™ at PROFILES, you will be given specific instructions on preparing for your surgery including guidelines for eating and drinking, vitamin and medication intake, and smoking. We will also discuss with you the various after hour care centers or private nurses available to you for your first postoperative night.

We admonish all our smokers that they must stop smoking for at least two weeks before and after surgery because smoking can interfere with the healing of incisions and inhibit blood flow to the skin. Also if you have short hair, we encourage you to grow your hair out prior to surgery, and even prior to your consultation so as to better help conceal the incisions post-operatively as they heal on their way to becoming inconspicuous.
