Dr. McFadden did my face. I can not say enough about the skin resurfacing. I get comments about my skin all the time. I no longer have to wear makeup. My skin tone is even with a natural glow.
Thank you Toni! We're so happy to hear how happy you are with your results!
@AdvancedCosmeticSurgery what type of laser?
@@Timetravel755 Let me check with Dr. McFadden to be certain what type he used.
These explanations about the procedure, the possible effects, the differences for different skin types, even without showing images, give me hope of good results. From what I understand the mini lift could be my solution.
Honest surgeon. Wonderfully refreshing
Excellent video. I'm having a mini facelift with neck, upper and lower eyes. You have EASE my anxiety about the procedure. Thank you.
We are so glad to hear that! You're very welcome. Thank you for watching.

There seems to be a lot of interest in deep plane facelifts recently. For historical perspective, this is a procedure not widely accepted in plastic surgery circles for the last 20 to 30 years. For some reason, certain less than truthful surgeons are now promoting it as the best technique ever. Problems with the deep plane technique include:
1. It has a fair amount of subcutaneous undermining so the claim that it is tension free on the skin is not true.
2. It doesn’t address retinacular ligament extension in the subcutaneous plane except for the amount of subcutaneous undermining, which is limited.
3. By itself, it doesn’t do anything to rejuvenate skin quality.
The last two are clear failures to obtain optimal and durable results missing 50% of the potential result and will lead to early recurrence of laxity and unsatisfactory result sooner than later.
So what is the alternative?
No type of facelift affects skin quality. Your comments are baseless extractions of partial explanations
@@golfista37 Yes, that was the point. No surgical procedure improves the skin quality. That is why laser resurfacing in addition is mandatory.
@@bsways One should always complement a surgical procedure for the face with a skin/tissue quality improvement, such as laser resurfacing.
I find your video very helpful. Thank you for your time. Are there any advantages on choosing a plastic surgeon who specializes in doing just facial cosmetic surgery? Is there usually a better result?
Hi Renee, This is a misunderstood concept. Clearly, one SHOULD be better at a particular procedure if they do more of them, but I've found in my experience that is not always the case. What is always true is that if a surgeon is extremely meticulous with one procedure, he will be the same with other procedures as well. The other issue to consider with facelifts is that facelift is just the surgical portion of the correction. Surgery will never correct skin quality by itself, such as laser resurfacing or at least radio frequency procedures. One must ALWAYS do something to improve the skin quality. Otherwise, you will only get half of the result that you desire.
This was great information. I had not heard how long the effect of surgery would last.
You're welcome! If you're interested in a consultation, we're located in Greenville, SC and can be reached at (864) 242-3223. Have a great day!
You are my kind of doc
Thank you and God Bless 🙏

Dr. If a person needs to address to address upper facial aging with a brow and mid face lift can they have lower face and neck addressed later in life or it will interfere with upper facelift? Does a mid and full face lift/neck lift use the same incision lines?
He just said, upper incisions are at the temple, lower are at the ear
I am confused as to what you said about not favoring deep plane facelifts. I am a 65 year old woman who has rather severe nasolabial folds and some laxity in general in the lower part of my face. I desperately want to FINALLY get rid of the nasolabial folds or at least greatly lessen the effect they have on my face. I have waited for years for surgery, so I would like to know why you may believe the deep plane facelift would not be for me so I will be more informed on which facelift would be the best solution for me. Thank you in advance for your kind reply, and thank you for this informative video.
See answer above - @customerservice6798
My wife had a mid face facelift meaning not the forehead done in Malaysia.and lower and upper Bleps. We had to stay for two weeks and she had a nurse visit her most days at our hotel. Stiches were taken out on day 14. She was miserable for the first 7 days but even Co2 laser treatment will be like this too.
She got the numbness on her jaw line up to her earlobes and it took years to totally disapear but it never bothered her.
Its been 11 years now and she still looks great at 63. No regrets, but she wants the Co2 laser done for skin resurfacing and fine lines and wrinkles.
For skin resurfacing, we offer laser resurfacing. The laser resurfacing is comparable to the CO2 laser, but it requires less downtime! If you would like to learn more or to schedule an appointment give us a call! (864) 242-3223
I'm glad lazer was mentioned, I know they work. My sister & I, are 2 years apart. We both worked outdoors. She's not just 2 yrs older, she's always looked substantially older, & had deep wrinkles in her face, by 35. She had laser a few times, and it wipes 10 years off her face! It really did! Now, I'm 47, she's about to turn 50. She STILL looks younger, than I. Lol. I could probably get something done. 😅
Lasers do wonders and really help with aging/sun damage. If you're interested in a consultation, we're located in Greenville, SC and can be reached at (864) 242-3223!
Thank you for a great explanation of the different types. Regarding the risks you mentioned; What would be the symptoms of a sensory nerve damage? Would it be temporary?
Symptoms of sensory nerve damage would include numbness, tingling, shooting pains. Most of the time, they are temporary and extremely rarely they are permanent.
@@AdvancedCosmeticSurgery thanks 😊
Hi, my earlobes are pulled down, after a mini face lift, can I be restored?
Also have large red scars around the ears which are very red, it has been 6 months since the operation.
Thank you for a great channel
Hi Rose, please give us a call at (864) 242-3223 and we'll set you up for a consultation! Thank you!
What is a cheek lift. The Dr recommended that I needed that. My concern is my neck and jowls he said the cheek lift will address it
There really is not a procedure called a cheek lift, per se.
Price???
Dr. McFadden...
What do you think about the "One Stitch" Facelift?
Could you post a video on that topic, please.
We will consider it for a future video, thank you!
One stich/one suture are too much to ask for a procedure to do much good or to last. There's an old saying that if one gets a "lunchtime facelift" that it will last to about the next lunchtime.
I'm very interested in a face-lift but not sure which I should get but I want a surgeon that has been doing it for a long time and were would be the best place to contact
Hello Kim! You can call us at (864) 252-0490 to speak with a coordinator or check out our website for more information: advancedcosmeticsurgery-sc.com/
@@AdvancedCosmeticSurgerywhat is the price or starting price?
So what technique do you use for the full facelift ??
Double concentric purse string suture technique anchored to the periosteum of the zygomatic arch. It is most certainly the best fixation/anchoring technique for durability. We also believe strongly that one must treat the skin quality as well. Otherwise you’re missing half of your result. This is a philosophy of total facial rejuvenation. In other words, a laser or radio frequency technique at a minimum must be done following the operation if you don’t treat the skin, you don’t treat the skin.
Sounds like the MACS lift?
@@dammar117 Nope. Not at all. Much better than a MACS facelift.
I don't care for neck redefining but I am only concerned about my cheeks definition. What do you suggest in my situation?
Great video
I want to do a mini facelift next month.To be honest i am kinda nervous since i have MS.But expect some mobility problems everything is good so far.Do you had MS Patients too?.Greetings from Germany 🙏
Hi, Capri. It depends. Usually, it's not a problem. You will need to first get medical clearance from your primary care doctor or Neurologist and discuss with he or she if this procedure is right for you. Then, schedule a consultation, either with us or with a plastic surgeon you trust. During the consultation, the surgeon will go over all the potential side effects and risks associated with mini facelift for patients who have MS. The risks are typically more related to the recovery process rather than the actual procedure itself. Patients with MS can heal differently. We wish you the best in your surgical journey! Let us know if we can help in any way.
How much cost over there .
@FPan
How do you like your mini lift? How are you feeling? Just curious to know. Thank you
@@SG-wq4rm Since i had only a mini facelift it is not that a big change.And to be honest i did it because of my jawlines but it is still not that defined.Probably i did choose the wrong surgeon.She was very careful and very expensive.I did it in Virginia while visiting a friend,in Germany is much cheaper.
@@joyxamjoy6773 In Germany is a mini facelift much cheaper,around 2 to 3000 Euro.
Are you saying a SMAS is the mini and the deep-plane is the full facelift?
The SMAS layer, or submuscular aponeurotic system, is the fascia that envelops the muscles of the face. There are various facelift techniques including SMAS, high SMAS, SMASectomy, deep plane facelift and plication techniques. Mini facelift techniques can vary highly from surgeon to surgeon. Their effectiveness and durability also very highly from surgeon to surgeon. I have used all of the techniques. Personally I don't find a deep plane facelift very advantageous. A true deep plane facelift has a very extended recovery. There is a possibility of asymmetry (uneveness) and it doesn't do anything to improve the quality of the skin. We believe in a total facial rejuvenation concept whether you're having a mini facelift or a full facelift technique.
I had a full facelift recently. Im not super impressed, honestly. I'm only 43 so i wasn't expecting too much, but for all these scars...results are underwhelming. I feel like one side got pulled way tighter. One of my ears is messed up now. I still have nasolabial lines, even though they were minor pre-surgery, they seem untouched. Sigh. I went to an expensive surgeon with great reviews. Just not worth it.
All surgeon's work and results are different, but we're sorry to hear about your experience with a face lift. At ACS, our doctors sit down with the patient and discuss what would be best for their skin and conditions. Typically we don't suggest facelifts for patients under 50 years old as they are often not ideal candidates. Facelifts can be worth it to a lot of people and has been for our patients. Thank you for sharing and we wish you the best!
I’m 59, just got my mini face lift, and upper lids done 10 days ago. The texture of my skin is really good, as I have been having fraxel yearly. Should I do micro needling on my jaw to keep my jowls to come back? If yes how often, and when show I start?
Thank you.

Very true

Thanks for watching!
But when you done facelift the skin will be look like improved such as pores
No. The skin looks the same after a facelift
The skin is the same quality as before. Surgery never improves skin or tissue quality.
Why do plastic surgeons always look like they haven’t had any surgery?
He's healthy & a good looking guy. He doesn't need surgery, lol.
@@mariatorres9789 um that's arguable
They can't do surgery on themselves and probably only trust their own work.
Noone needs a face lift .they just want 1
Hi there
My grandmother's eyelids got to where she almost couldn't see as they folded over, & in her 70's she had to have a tissue removal & eye lift. My great grandfather had the same thing, & had it done in his 80's. He could barely see to walk. Some people do need surgery for sagging skin. My eyelids sit on my lashes now, I'm sure it's hereditary. I'll not wait, until I'm an octogenarian, lol.
Maybe a doctor should consider facelift on himself...
Yes, I have considered one. Trying to find the best time.
Only Botox needed
Pretty rude
Ouch!
Actually, what is really needed most are some skin contraction procedures like laser or radiofrequency rather than tissue repositioning procedures like surgery.
Where are you located?
