Mini Facelift for Facial Rejuvenation

Facelift

As time goes by, age tends to become more evident on the face than on other parts of the body. If you want to minimize the visible signs of aging on your face, a mini facelift may be the answer. 

At Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center, we offer mini facelifts for patients in Healdsburg, CA. When you’re ready to schedule your facelift consultation, give us a call.

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve or eliminate the signs of aging along the face and neck. The procedure removes excess skin and fat and repositions facial features to restore a more youthful appearance. 

While many non-surgical options are available to treat aging skin, patients often opt for facelift surgery to achieve more lasting results.

Mini Facelift vs. Facelift — What’s the Difference?

There are two types of facelift procedures: a traditional, complete facelift and a mini facelift. While both procedures offer benefits and help fight an aging appearance, they have different approaches. 

A traditional facelift focuses on the entire face and neck area to provide full rejuvenation. A mini facelift, on the other hand, focuses on the area below the eyes down to the jawline. 

Mini facelifts use the word “less” in a positive way — less surgery overall, less time to complete the procedure, and less downtime. 

Both surgeries have the same goal — to bring youth back to your face — but the right surgery for you depends on your desired outcome. 

What to Expect During Mini Facelift Surgery

Before your surgery, we’ll administer a sedative and local anesthetic to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. 

The mini facelift involves many of the same techniques as a full facelift. We make incisions along the natural creases of your skin and hairline, which will make any scarring less noticeable. 

Then we remove the excess skin and fat and tighten the underlying muscles. After that, we reposition the remaining skin into its new, smoother position. 

After surgery, you’ll have the chance to relax and recover. Mini facelifts are outpatient procedures, which means that you’ll go home the same day.

Advantages of Choosing a Mini Facelift

Mini facelifts provide numerous benefits to patients looking to refresh and renew their appearances. Some of the most outstanding advantages of this procedure include:

  • Significantly improved signs of aging
  • More youthful appearance 
  • Improved facial contours
  • Natural, lasting results

If you’re interested in learning how a mini facelift could benefit you and help you reach your aesthetic goals, we’re happy to discuss this during your initial consultation. 

Determining Whether a Mini Facelift Is Right for You 

Most patients wonder whether a mini facelift is better than a full facelift. In general, it depends on your age, skin, and desires.

A mini facelift is usually right for patients who have started to notice more visible signs of aging, like wrinkles and sagging skin along their cheeks and jawline. Patients should be generally healthy and have good skin elasticity. 

You may also consider a mini facelift if you’re not quite ready to commit to the more invasive nature of a full facelift or the longer recovery time. 

The best way to determine whether a mini facelift is right for you is to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, we’ll examine your face and discuss your areas of concern and the results you’d like to see. We can then make personalized recommendations to help you achieve the best possible outcome. 

Mini Facelift — Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re considering a mini rhytidectomy, you likely have questions. We’ve answered a few of the questions our patients often ask below. However, if you have additional concerns, we’ll be happy to address them during your consultation. 

How Much Downtime Can I Expect After Facelift Surgery?

The mini facelift requires less downtime than a complete facelift. Usually, patients who undergo a full facelift need about a month to recover, while patients who opt for mini facelifts recover in about half that time.

After your surgery, it is best to stay as elevated as possible during the day and while you sleep to promote optimal healing. You’ll also need to avoid exercise and strenuous activity for a few weeks while you heal. 

Once we have completed your procedure, we will give you in-depth aftercare instructions. 

When Will I See My Final Results?

Your skin will appear tighter and smoother right after your procedure. However, you do need to give your face time to heal. Recovery time varies, but patients typically see final results around four weeks post-surgery. 

Are the Results of a Mini Facelift Permanent?

Yes. Because of how a facelift is performed, the results are permanent. This is one of the biggest advantages of facelifts, as opposed to minimally invasive, non-surgical options.

It is important to note, however, that a facelift procedure does not stop the aging process altogether. This means that you will continue to age, and some signs of aging, like wrinkles, may start to develop over time.

For the most part, patients who undergo facelifts can enjoy their results for years to come. 

Can a Mini Facelift Be Combined with Other Procedures?

Yes. Patients often choose to combine a mini facelift with other surgical procedures, like eyelid surgery. During your consultation, we can discuss your options.

BHRT to Restore Healthy, Balanced Hormone Levels

Balanced Hormone Levels

Whether you think about them or not, hormones are constantly at work in your body. They are in charge of several bodily functions that allow us to go about our days normally while feeling healthy. 

Unfortunately, hormones can become imbalanced, which can in turn affect your health and well-being. If you believe you’re struggling with a hormone imbalance, BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) may be right for you. 

We offer BHRT treatment at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center. Reach out to us today to schedule a consultation. 

What Are Hormones?

Hormones are critical to life and the healthy functioning of the human body. Hormones are chemicals that carry messages through the bloodstream to organs, muscles, skin, and other tissues, telling them what to do and how to do it. 

There are over 50 hormones in your body. The endocrine system, encompassing many glands, creates and releases most hormones. Some of the essential glands in this system include the pituitary gland, thyroid, and adrenal glands.

Hormones play a vital role in everyday life and overall health. Keeping them balanced is key to staying healthy and feeling well. 

What Is Hormone Imbalance?

Hormones must remain balanced. Once they become imbalanced, you may begin to feel sick, off, or not like yourself.

Hormones can become imbalanced in both women and men for several reasons. Some of the common causes of hormone imbalance include:

  • Injury
  • Stress
  • Trauma
  • Medication
  • Eating disorders
  • Cancer treatments
  • Type 1 or type 2 diabetes
  • Hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism

Hormone imbalance can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Sudden weight gain or weight loss
  • Increased or decreased heart rate
  • Anxiety and/or depression
  • Sensitivity to cold or hot
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Persistent fatigue
  • Irritability
  • Hair loss

It can be particularly difficult to pinpoint a hormone imbalance since causes and symptoms are so varied. However, certain diagnostic tests can determine whether you’re suffering from a hormone imbalance and which hormones you need more or less of. 

Hormone Imbalance in Women

While women can suffer hormone imbalance of any kind, the most common hormones that are affected are the sex hormones, including estrogen and progesterone.

Estrogen is one of the two sex hormones women primarily produce in the ovaries. It is responsible for reproductive health, including puberty and the menstrual cycle. Additionally, estrogen plays a part in:

  • Cholesterol
  • Blood sugar
  • Bone density
  • Muscle mass
  • Collagen production

Progesterone is the other important female sex hormone. It is commonly associated with pregnancy, as it is crucial for becoming pregnant and maintaining a pregnancy. 

While testosterone is typically associated with males, women also produce a small amount of testosterone. Testosterone for women is important for:

  • Mood
  • Bone density
  • Production of red blood cells
  • Growth and repair of reproductive tissues

When any one of these three hormones becomes imbalanced, it can significantly affect a woman’s life. Hormone imbalance in women is often produced by any of the common causes but also aging and menopause. 

Signs of Hormone Imbalance in Women

Along with the common symptoms of hormone imbalance, women may also suffer from:

  • Acne
  • Infertility
  • Night sweats
  • Mood swings
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Persistent headaches
  • Irregular or heavy periods

Typically, signs of hormone imbalance depend on which hormone is affected and whether the body has too much or too little of that hormone. 

Hormone Imbalance in Men

Men can also suffer from several types of hormone imbalance, but it is most often an imbalance of the sex hormone testosterone. 

Testosterone serves many functions in men, including:

  • Distributing fat 
  • Producing sperm
  • Initiating puberty
  • Regulating sex drive
  • Maintaining bone mass
  • Maintaining muscle mass and strength

Men’s testosterone can become imbalanced in numerous ways; however, most men suffer a decline in testosterone production with age. After age 30, men go through an average of 1% loss of testosterone per year. While diminished testosterone production is normal, a substantial decline can significantly affect a man’s health. 

Signs of Hormone Imbalance in Men

Men typically exhibit the usual signs of hormone imbalance, along with:

  • Infertility
  • Loss of body hair
  • Increased body fat
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Decreased bone density and muscle mass
  • Gynecomastia (increased breast tissue)

The symptoms of hormone imbalance in men are not only uncomfortable but they can also affect self-confidence and relationships. 

What Is BHRT?

If you’re struggling with hormone imbalance, BHRT may be the right treatment to help you get your life back.

In bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, hormones are created to mimic the hormones the body naturally produces. “Bio” means “life,” and “identical” means “exactly alike.” Technically, these hormones are the same as the ones your body creates. 

BHRT treatment gives you the hormones you need to restore balance. We can introduce these hormones into the body through any of the following means:

  • Pills
  • Gels
  • Pellets
  • Creams
  • Patches
  • Injections

The best method for you depends on your body, needs, and lifestyle. Regardless of the method you choose, BHRT can help you feel like yourself again, freeing you from the intolerable symptoms of hormone imbalance. 

How Do You Know Whether BHRT Can Help You?

We’re happy to guide you through the hormone replacement process. First, we want to know the current state of your health and hormone levels. We’ll request a blood sample to analyze your hormones and determine whether you’re suffering from a hormone imbalance and which hormones are affected. 

During your consultation, we’ll review your results and go over your medical history and health concerns. We can then make recommendations and tailor your treatment plan to fit your needs.

What is MyEllevate

MyEllevate

Aging is a natural part of life, and the neck is one of the areas that shows the most obvious signs of aging. For this reason, various procedures are available to sculpt the jawline and bring a youthful appearance back to this area of your body. 

At Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center, we offer MyEllevate treatments to give you the facial rejuvenation you seek. Call us today to schedule an appointment.

What Is MyEllevate?

MyEllevate is a cosmetic procedure that fights the visible signs of aging on the neck without the need for surgery. It is known as the Zoom lift, or a non-surgical neck lift. 

This treatment helps significantly improve the look of sagging skin along the jaw and in the chin area. MyEllevate is a minimally invasive procedure that provides natural, long-lasting results. 

How Does MyEllevate Work?

The MyEllevate procedure is truly unique. The treatment consists of a patented suture system that allows for the tightening of loose skin and muscles without surgical intervention. 

A traditional neck lift requires incisions to open the area and physically reposition muscles. MyEllevate uses a special lighted tool to guide a single, continuous suture beneath the skin along the entire jawline. 

Once completely positioned, the suture is then tightened and tied to help pull back the muscles and skin that make the neck and jawline sag. 

With MyEllevate, you can enjoy a rejuvenated appearance without undergoing invasive surgery. 

The MyEllevate Treatment — What to Expect

Prior to your treatment, you’ll schedule a consultation with us. During your consultation, we’ll go over your medical history, examine your neck and jaw area, and discuss your desired outcome. Once we’ve determined MyEllevate can help you achieve your goals, we’ll schedule your procedure.

On the day of your treatment, we’ll start by administering anesthesia, which will allow you to remain as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. Then we’ll thoroughly cleanse and mark the treatment area.

During the procedure, using careful precision, we’ll guide the MyEllevate tool with the attached suture through the treatment area. Once we have the suture completely in place, we’ll tighten it, giving the lifting and tightening effect.

Once your procedure is complete, you’ll be able to relax before going home. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to get you on the road to recovery and outstanding results. 

Advantages of Choosing MyEllevate Skin Tightening Treatment

MyEllevate is a fantastic alternative to a surgical neck lift. It provides beautiful results for patients looking to make a noticeable change without an invasive procedure. Some of the more notable benefits of MyEllevate include:

  • Quick procedure that lasts about an hour
  • No significant scarring
  • Outpatient procedure
  • Little downtime
  • Lasting results

If you’re interested in addressing skin laxity or a double chin, the MyEllevate facial rejuvenation procedure may be right for you.

MyEllevate — Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve answered some of the questions our patients most frequently ask. If you have additional concerns, please bring them up during your consultation and we’ll be happy to discuss them. 

Is There Any Downtime After the MyEllevate Treatment?

One of the biggest benefits of MyEllevate facial rejuvenation is minimal downtime.

After your procedure, you’ll wear a neck brace to limit movement and help protect the area for about two weeks. You’ll want to avoid working out and limit any strenuous exercise in the weeks following your treatment. 

We will schedule you for a two-week follow-up appointment where we will assess your results and how well you’re healing. Depending on your progress, you can begin reintroducing regular activities, like exercise. 

When Can I Expect to See Results from My Skin Tightening Treatment?

You may notice a difference immediately after your procedure. However, you need to allow some time for the area to heal. Many patients enjoy final results within two to three weeks. 

Are Results from MyEllevate Permanent?

Yes. Because of the way the Zoom lift is done, it is meant to provide permanent results. Patients can enjoy the results of this rejuvenating treatment for several years.

However, it is important to note that MyEllevate will not stop the aging process. Aging is natural, and therefore, as you progress in age, you will eventually begin to see signs of aging in that region once again. 

How Many Sessions Will I Need to Reach My Intended Result?

MyEllevate is intended as a single procedure. You’ll only need to schedule one appointment to achieve your intended results. 

Can MyEllevate Completely Replace a Facelift or Neck Lift?

MyEllevate is an effective, non-surgical alternative for patients with a mild degree of skin laxity in the jaw, chin, and neck areas. Patients with more severe looseness and other areas of concern may benefit from other treatments or procedures.

We can discuss your needs and create a customized treatment plan to help give you the best possible results. 

How Can I Determine Whether MyEllevate Is Right for Me?

We are more than happy to guide you in your decision-making process. In general, MyEllevate may be right for patients who:

  • Are in overall good health
  • Would like a more sculpted jawline
  • Aren’t ready to commit to invasive surgery
  • Are experiencing sagging in the neck and jowls

Scheduling a consultation is the first step. When you come in for your consultation, we’ll have an in-depth discussion about the Zoom lift and determine whether it’s the adequate treatment to give you the outcome you desire.

What Is the Best Age for Getting Hormone Replacement Therapy?

If you’re not feeling like yourself, life can be tough. Everyone else in Norcal seems to be having a great time, going about life as normal, but you feel down, suffer from mood swings, can’t seem to get to sleep, or just lack the energy you used to have. If that sounds like you, hormone replacement therapy could be the answer you’re looking for. At Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center, we offer HRT in Noblesville, IN, Shelbyville, IN, Danville, IL, Healdsburg, CA, and Ukiah, CA, and throughout Northern California.

What Is the Best Age for Getting Hormone Replacement Therapy?

If you’re noticing symptoms of unbalanced hormones, the good news is that there’s no “best age” for therapy. This therapy is right for almost anyone who is interested in it, and hormone imbalance can strike women or men at any age. That said, this treatment is most commonly sought by people in their 40s and 50s.

For Women

For women, perimenopause (the period of hormone shifts that precedes menopause) can last up to a decade and often begins in the mid to late 40s. During this time, many of the same symptoms that are associated with menopause begin to manifest.

In some women, the symptoms can be every bit as dramatic and difficult to live with as the worst menopause symptoms; in other women, the symptoms are so mild and gradual that they are barely noticed. Every woman is unique, and so is every experience with this natural life change. Women who notice symptoms during the perimenopause stage can easily treat them with hormone therapy.

Even those women who do not experience many symptoms with perimenopause may begin to really notice disruption to their lives when menopause finally arrives. This usually happens sometime after age 50 and usually around age 55. It is most common for women to seek hormone replacement therapy at this time to relieve all the difficult symptoms of menopause, like mood swings, hot flashes, weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, and more.

Other Situations

While it is most common for women to seek hormone therapy sometime after age 40, it’s not a problem for younger women to get treatment. In fact, there are a number of reasons why a younger woman might seek treatment.

Women who suffer from PCOS often deal with serious hormone fluctuations, as do women who have had a hysterectomy and some women who are struggling with obesity. Other women may be dealing with hormonal fluctuations due to the side effects of medications or treatments that can’t be paused.

For Men

While most men who get hormone replacement therapy are over the age of 40, the process begins much earlier, in the early 30s for most. Unlike women, who tend to experience very sudden and dramatic fluctuations in hormone levels, men’s concerns are often dismissed as a natural result of aging in part because they come on so gradually.

Testosterone levels begin to drop in a man’s 30s, and at first, there’s really no noticeable change. By the time men reach their 40s, and definitely by the 50s, subtle symptoms can become dramatic, severely affecting many aspects of health and quality of life.

Starting treatment early, before the symptoms become severe, often yields the best results: but there’s no wrong age to seek treatment. Even if you are in your 50s or 60s and just now realizing that something can be done about what you’ve always assumed was simple, natural aging, hormone therapy can help.

Other Situations

As with women, men can experience hormone imbalances at any age. Low T, in particular, can be caused by obesity, medications or medical treatments, and by certain lifestyle choices. And while the most common culprit for hormonal imbalance in men is related to low testosterone production, it’s also possible for men to experience issues with other hormones like estrogen.

Can You Be Too Young?

In the past, hormones were made synthetically and contained special molecular tags added by the manufacturer so the hormone could be patented. These synthetic hormones, with their unusual tags, were implicated in some studies that showed serious side effects among those who took them long-term. Other studies showed no side effects at all. Regardless, there was some reason for concern, and many people preferred not to take hormone therapy any longer than absolutely necessary.

Today, at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center, we use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT. That makes all the difference, and there’s no need to worry about the issues that used to be associated with traditional hormone therapy.

Why BHRT Makes a Difference

These hormones have a different molecular shape from the synthetic hormones of old. BHRT hormones are molecularly and chemically identical to the hormones our bodies produce naturally, and dosages are tailored to the individual’s unique needs.

Because of this, the body makes use of these hormones just as it would natural hormones, without worries about side effects or issues with long-term use. This makes BHRT safe for everyone, including younger people who may need to seek therapy for longer in order to enjoy a high quality of life.

Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms

If you’re suffering from a hormone in balance, you will probably notice one or more of the symptoms listed below. Be sure to talk to us about whether you’re a candidate for BHRT if these symptoms sound familiar. Some of these issues can be caused by things other than hormone imbalances, which is why it’s a good idea to get tested and properly diagnosed.

Emotional Fluctuations

Hormones strongly influence our ability to control our emotions. Whenever the hormones are unbalanced, we find it extremely difficult to control feelings and find ourselves irritable, angry, or simply “testy.” This often happens for no identifiable reason or over things that normally wouldn’t bother us.

In addition to feeling angry or stressed, you may also find yourself feeling depressed and miserable, again for reasons that are difficult to define. You might find that you’ve stopped enjoying the activities that used to make you happy or that you are constantly anxious and worried. There are many possible causes of depression, but if this situation has come on you suddenly, and especially if you are middle-aged and can find no clear cause for the change, it’s a good idea to at least rule out a hormonal imbalance.

Weight Issues

Estrogen in women and testosterone in men are key drivers of appetite. When these hormones are out of balance, we tend to feel hungrier. This makes overeating all too easy. In addition, hormones also regulate our fat storage and blood sugar, which can mean you put on weight or can’t get it off, even if your diet is unchanged.

To add insult to injury, the fatigue and insomnia that can also come with hormone fluctuations can make us crave quick and easy carbohydrates out of a desperate need for energy, exacerbating the problem.

Insomnia

A classic sign of unbalanced hormones is difficulty sleeping. Too much estrogen, in particular, can cause insomnia, but so can low progesterone production. Even if you are short on sleep and have been active all day, you may find it difficult to fall asleep or may fall asleep easily but then wake up regularly throughout the night.

Fatigue

A constant feeling of fatigue is another common sign of hormonal imbalance, and this could be caused by lack of sleep, as mentioned above, or it could actually be due to an imbalance of hormones. For example, when the body produces too much progesterone, it can constantly send signals that it needs to sleep, even when it does not actually need rest.

 

Low Libido

Both men and women tend to lose interest in sex when the hormones are out of balance. For men, it is usually a testosterone drop that causes this. For women, too much production of estrogen can overwhelm testosterone levels and have the same effect. All this is exacerbated by the insomnia and fatigue mentioned above.

LaseMD

If you’ve noticed a decrease in the efficacy of your skincare products, are suffering from the signs of aging, and want to perfect your complexion, we offer an effective treatment called LaseMD at our Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center locations in Danville, IL, Noblesville, IN, Shelbyville, IN, Healdsburg, CA, or Ukiah, CA. This laser treatment can transform your skin, make your products work better, and restore a youthful glow.

LaseMD

LaseMD is a multi-step treatment that can improve the complexion of patients of all age ranges with all different skin types and tones. This versatile, customizable treatment uses non-ablative laser energy to gently heat the deeper layers of your skin to target some of the most common skin concerns.

It can reverse the signs of sun damage, create a more even skin tone and smooth skin texture, improve the appearance of fine lines, reduce freckles, improve décolleté health, erase age spots and sun spots, and treat actinic keratosis. It can also help you achieve a noticeable and long-lasting glow after your treatment.

How It Works

This laser treatment works by creating micro-channels on the skin’s surface to enact a healing response from the body that results in increased collagen and elastin production. It also eliminates damaged skin cells that are responsible for hyperpigmentation and other skin imperfections. The multi-step treatment process is designed to deliver a safe, quick, and effective pain-free treatment.

Customizing Your Treatment

One of the benefits of this device is that treatments are completely customizable. We can choose the right serum for your skin and also deliver a lighter or more advanced laser treatment based on your needs.

During the treatment, the laser creates micro-channels in the skin, into which the LaseMD serums will absorb. Your skin will absorb all of the powerful anti-aging nanoparticles in the serums, all of which are free of fragrances, colors, preservatives, and harmful ingredients.

Clarify

The Clarify feature of this device is designed to target mild forms of hyperpigmentation, as well as the early signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles.

Renew

Renew is a feature in this device we can use for those who want to target the more visible signs of aging while also improving overall skin health and preventing accelerated aging.

The Treatment Process

Your Consultation

The treatment process begins with a consultation. We will meet with you to discuss your skin concerns and then make the necessary treatment recommendations to effectively target those concerns. We can then prepare your skin for the treatment.

Your Treatment

Before administering the LaseMD laser, we may apply a topical numbing solution to your skin if needed. During the treatment process, you’ll feel of warming sensation on your skin from the laser heat energy and a tingling sensation. Total treatment time takes anywhere from five to 20 minutes based on the size of the area you want to treat and the number of areas included in your treatment plan. We will choose the right serum for your skin and activate it in the device.

Then, after using the LaseMD laser to treat your skin, we will apply the customized serum to your treatment area. Post-treatment, we will apply a LaseMD cream and two different sheet masks, one of which you will wear for five minutes and the second of which you will wear for 15 minutes. You’ll be instructed on how to care for your skin after your treatment and how often you should schedule maintenance treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

After your treatment is over, you won’t have to plan around downtime, but you will need to take care of your skin by following some simple instructions. On the day following your treatment, you’ll notice the signs of exfoliation on your skin as it begins to shed damaged and dead skin cells. This exfoliation process is completely normal, and you can safely apply makeup during this process.

It’s important that you stay hydrated and avoid sun exposure, especially in the days following your treatment. To prevent additional sun damage, wear quality sunscreen every day and avoid prolonged sun exposure as much as possible.

Your Results

You can expect to see improvements in your skin within the first one to six days of your treatment. You can expect a brighter complexion, smoother skin, and a visible reduction in the signs of aging. Scheduling regular maintenance treatments can help you extend your results long-term and protect your skin from the aging process.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Patients typically need three to five treatments with two weeks between each for optimal results. However, we evaluate each patient’s needs and skin concerns before designing a custom-tailored treatment plan.
