Plastic Surgeon Announces New Connecticut Face Lift Option

With the popularity of minimally-invasive face lift in Connecticut continuing to increase, a local plastic surgeon has developed his own procedure that focuses on mid-face rejuvenation.

Westport, Connecticut, October 2007 – Connecticut plastic surgeon Joel B. Singer, M.D. now offers an enhanced version of the minimally-invasive face lift procedure, which he calls the Westport Face Lift™. Minimally-invasive face lift is popular in Connecticut because the procedure offers women and men the opportunity to make lasting improvements in their facial appearance without a long recovery period.

Minimally-invasive face lifts are also known as "weekend face lifts" because many patients recover in 2 or 3 days before returning to work. Most Connecticut weekend face lift patients choose the procedure to tighten and sculpt their jaw line. Dr. Singer is the first and only Connecticut plastic surgeon to offer the Westport Face Lift™, which instead focuses on tightening the skin on the cheeks.

"Minimally-invasive face lifts are a great choice for many patients," says Dr. Singer, founder of Imperial Plastic Surgery. "Most local residents considering cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of their mid face area are only given the option of a full face lift or temporary improvement with injectable fillers. With Westport Face Lift™, I offer a better choice for many patients."

The Westport Face Lift™ combines the best of surgical and medical spa treatments, providing patients with lasting improvement to wrinkles and sagging skin in the mid face area without requiring an extensive recovery period. The procedure tightens skin on the cheeks while minimizing the appearance of nasolabial folds, or the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Most patients recover from this Connecticut face lift procedure in just a few days, and experience much less swelling, discomfort, and scarring than those choosing a full face lift.

"I have achieved fantastic results for my patients after performing the Westport Face Lift™ procedure in Connecticut," adds Dr. Singer. "In fact, many patients choose to completely restore the look of their mid face by asking me to perform non-surgical lower eyelid rejuvenation using a fractionated CO2 laser along with fat grafting. This procedure makes it easier than ever to revitalize lower eyelid appearance."

Lower eyelid procedures can smooth and tighten the area under the eyes, eliminating bags and dark circles that make a person appear tired and old. Dr. Singer performs both surgical and non-surgical eyelid procedures to rejuvenate eye appearance, and also offers other facial procedures such as brow lift and rhinoplasty for patients who want to enhance their look.
