What to expect during your procedure
Depending on which technique is recommended, your procedure will be done under general or local anesthesia. To begin, Dr. Shapiro will create your incisions. These will be carefully placed within the hairline and your natural facial creases so that they are virtually impossible to detect once you have healed.
Through those openings, he will remove precise amounts of excess skin and fat, tighten lax muscles, and improve your facial contours. These enhancements will be done with a conservative hand to ensure organic results. If you are also having eyelid surgery or a brow lift done, these procedures will be performed at this time as well.
Once the underlying structures have been reshaped, Dr. Shapiro will re-drape the skin, close the incisions, and trim away any excess tissue.
