The EasyLift® Face Lift

Perfect for Most People

The EasyLift facelift was developed by Dr. Kevin McBride to help his patients obtain the best result with the least surgery and recovery time possible. Dr. McBride modified the best features of established techniques, and combined them to make everything easier for the patient.

It is performed under light general anesthesia and a long lasting local anesthetic in our office surgical suite.

The EasyLift procedure uses an ideal incision line in front of the ear but uses a very short incision behind the ear. The fat and muscle are lifted and tightened, not removed as they are in the more invasive techniques. There is less swelling and bruising, and the cheek fullness is increased to provide a more youthful cheek appearance. The skin is repositioned up and back toward the ear where the excess is removed and meticulous closure is performed.

The EasyLift is simpler than other techniques, but is extremely effective because of the meticulous surgical technique. The ÒeasyÓ part of the procedure is the simplified recovery and reduced down time experienced by the patient. An EasyLift face lift takes about three hours. You will have some discomfort and a feeling of tightness, but there is usually very little or no pain. You can return to work and your other usual activities within a few days.

AmazingFaces® Lift

Dr. Kevin McBride has developed an exciting new procedure to fill the depressions and flat spots, and restore the energetic, happy look of youth. He calls it his AmazingFaces Liftª.

He uses Radiesse, the unique, new long lasting filler, to provide a safe and very simple augmentation of any area of the face without surgery. Radiesse mimics the feel of normal body tissues, spreads smoothly to fill any depressions, and can last more than a year. You can usually return to your normal activities the next day.

Fillers are the Òmagic rejuvenatorsÓÓ we have been waiting for. They can transform a tired looking, aging face into a youthful, rested face during a simple office visit without surgery. Fillers are so exciting because they offer a simple, predictable, cost effective way to fill depressed facial areas for up to a year or two without surgery. The AmazingFaces Lift is performed during an office visit, and all of the injections are made from inside the mouth to dramatically reduce the chance for bruising and eliminate visible needle marks. The best fillers are Radiesse, Perlane and Restylane. These fillers are made from materials that are identical to what is naturally present in your body.

Fat is also a filler. For AmazingFaces Lifts where a moderate to large amount of facial fat has been lost, fat is used, in addition to Radiesse, because it lasts many years and can reduce the cost of the procedure. When Fat Transfer is added to the other fillers, surgery is required to harvest the fat from the abdomen.
