Dr. Teotia offers a variety of different treatments to combat facial aging, but the most powerful and long-lasting procedures are surgical interventions. In the war against aging, facelifts and necklifts are impactful tools to combat sagging and to help restore a youthful profile. If you are nervous about going under anesthesia for these kinds of procedures, Dr. Teotia offers unique services for facelift and necklift in office using local anesthetic and laughing gas. These less invasive, in-office procedures allow patients to get the results they desire in the comfort of Dr. Teotia’s inviting clinic.

In-office necklifts and facelifts, are ideal for patients who are unhappy with the aging of their face and neck, and with Dr. Teotia, patients will not have to go under general anesthesia. Many patients can benefit from two or more procedures in combination with each other to achieve optimal results. These procedures are gaining popularity amongst patients for easier recovery, less downtime, and quicker results.

The neck is often one of the biggest indicators of aging. Loose skin, sagging neckbands, and a weak neckline can make you appear older than you actually are. A necklift focuses on the lower face and upper neck areas. This procedure is specifically beneficial for decreasing the appearance of jowls, marionette lines, and sagging neck skin. By removing small amounts of excess or loose skin and fat, the skin around the neck can be tightened, refining the neck and giving a fresh appearance to the face. This procedure is specifically beneficial for someone who has minimal to moderate signs of aging or the patient who has had a full necklift previously and is looking to maintain those results.

A facelift addresses aging in the face, including smile lines, sinking cheeks, and laxity in facial skin. They can refresh the face by correcting the underlying structure and by removing loose skin, creating a smooth, youthful appearance. A facelift is perfect for addressing minimal to moderate aging in the face.

At Dr. Stephanie Teotia’s clinic, both procedures are performed with local anesthesia and laughing gas. During these procedures, small incisions are made in discreet areas on the face, like the hairline, around the ears, and under the chin. After these incisions are made, the surgeon will tighten the skin while removing extra tissue or fat, thus creating a smooth, more youthful appearance. Recovery with these procedures tends to be approximately 7-10 days and patients can expect some swelling and light bruising. While every patient is different, patients can generally expect to enjoy the results of these procedures for five to ten years or longer.

Dr. Teotia and her compassionate team of professionals make patient comfort and satisfaction the top priority of their practice. Aging occurs in stages and different procedures will work better for different people, but many patients can benefit from these less invasive, in-office procedures, avoiding the anxiety of a hospital visit.
