What is an Optimum Mobility Facelift?
Imagine if you could turn back the clock without freezing your face in time!
An Optimum Mobility Facelift is not an ordinary facial surgery. It only makes you look younger, it also allows you to maintain your natural facial movements and expressions. In other words, this innovative Facelift procedure can lift and tighten your skin as well as retain your ability to emote naturally.
What is a Standard Facelift?
In a conventional or standard facelift, the surgeon makes incisions around the ears and hairline to lift and reposition the facial tissues. The excess skin is trimmed. This is an effective procedure but may sometimes result in an unnatural, tightly pulled look.
How an Optimum Mobility Facelift differs from Standard Facelifts
The Optimum Mobility Facelift is a more effective approach by focusing on:
- A softer, natural look
- Preserving natural facial movement
- Enhancing facial contour
The secret to a great facelift lies in the skilled, precise manipulation of deeper facial tissues that allows for a three-dimensional lift, rather than harsh pull.
