Why We Love The West Coast Facelift 

There are plenty of great things to say about the West Coast Facelift and how amazing you'll feel when you look as vibrant as you feel inside. For the right patients, this is a stellar procedure with the following benefits:

  1. Substantial mid facelift with vertical cheek repositioning (cheek lift) - giving you a heart shaped face
  2. Includes a endoscopic browlift (hidden scar) providing youthful & bright-eyes
  3. Moderate tightening of lower face and jawline
  4. Customized incisions are minimal and easy to hide even when wearing a ponytail 

What is the West Coast Facelift

Often called the ponytail facelift, Dr. Buonassisi's West Coast Facelift is a fantastic facial plastic surgical procedure for patients in their late 30s/early 40s who live an active lifestyle and want their appearance to match their upbeat and energetic spirit. The West Coast Facelift is designed for younger patients who are beginning to see the early signs of aging in the upper face but don't yet have concerns about the lower face and neck. It provides natural facial rejuvenation results with minimal incisions. The short incision technique is ideal for patients with short hair or those who want to wear their hair up in a ponytail without worrying about longer, more visible scars. The West Coast Facelift does cause a normal amount of bruising and swelling after surgery, and has about a 2-3 week recovery time before you're ready to socialize, with your results continuing to improve over the next few weeks.

Who is the West Coast Facelift For

The West Coast Facelift is a great option for younger patients who are concerned with aging around the upper and mid face face, when skin laxity and cheeks start to diminish. The West Coast Facelift doesn't impact the look of the jawline or neck, so it's a procedure that's suited for patients who aren't concerned about those areas.

How The West Coast Facelift is Performed

Without too much technical medical jargon, this section gives you a simple understanding of what the West Coast Facelift procedure involves. In this surgery, Dr. Buonassisi releases tethering points of ligaments, muscle, and fat layers in the deep plane layer of the face. He places his short incisions behind and below the ear and elevates the cheeks and brow area into a new, more youthful position before carefully closing the incisions.
