Face Lift

Face Lift aims at removing the excess redundant skin of the face eliminating the cheek and midface droop as well as treating the jowling of the jawline giving a youthful appearance of the face. The procedure is commonly accompanied by a neck lift.

Additional Facts

Who is a good candidate for Face Lift?

  • Patients with loose excess skin of the face and neck
  • Jowling of the jaw line
  • Cheek and midface droop

What are Face Lift contraindications?

We recommend avoiding the procedure in severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, connective tissue disease, malignancy, unrealistic expectations, local skin pathology and pregnancy

Note: A contraindication is a condition or factor that serves as a reason to withhold a certain medical treatment due to the harm that it would cause the patient.

How is this procedure performed?

  • The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with monitored IV sedation. The incision for the face lift is hidden in the temporal hairline and around the ear.
  • If a neck lift is done, the incision is hidden behind the ear and in the hair on the back of the head.
  • It is very important to tighten the muscle layer under the skin (SMAS) to achieve durable long term results and avoid tension on the skin.
  • After the SMAS is tightened and the excess skin is removed, the incision is closed using different modalities.
  • Face and neck lifts might be accompanied by other procedures as chin implants, cheek implants, eye lid rejuvenation, etc

How long does the effect last?

While every patient is different, the results are expected to last for approximately 10 years. This varies based on patients, skin integrity, genetics etc

What should I expect during recovery?

  • Patients are discharged home after the procedure with a head compression wrap
  • A drain might be used and is usually removed in 1-2 days
  • Initial neck stiffness is common
  • Swelling and numbness are expected and usually resolve within 1-2 weeks
  • You need to avoid sun exposure to avoid hyperpigmentation of the healing incisions
  • Sleep with the head elevated to decrease swelling
  • Sutures are usually removed approximately 1 week after the procedure

Where is the scar?

The scar is hidden around the ear and in the hair

Dr. Akkary

I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I have been seeing Dr. Akkary since 2014. The first day I was given his cell number...that has NEVER happened before at any other doctor's office. He is genuine and compassionate and really only wants to help you succeed. I have called him so many times and he has ALWAYS answered my questions. He has performed 2 surgeries on me and I wouldn't go anywhere else! I trust him and his staff completely. They will listen to all of your concerns and explain everything completely!

Great for anything in his speciality

If you are looking for a doctor who will listen to you and explain what & why he’s going to do something, you have found him. He has the added benefit of a wonderful bedside manner minus the arrogance found in doctors ( just because they are doctors, you have met a few if you’re reading this I’m sure). In all he’s a wonderful person who if you’re lucky enough to find him, give him a call. You will have an amazing doctor who is there for you without dodging your call’s no matter how silly you think the question or thought may be ( this isn’t a paid ad I promise, you have his cellphone number incase of anything no matter the time. Sorry, but I’ve never been able to reach a doctor 24-7 without going through a answering service and even then how many times do you get to talk to them? Not many from my experience and I’ve seen more doctors than I care to think about.) he’s always able to answer it or calm your pre surgery nerves. He’s great if you’re looking for anything in his specialty and if I could, he’d be my doctor for everything, but he’s only one person so I will settle for his specific fields.

I refer patients to Dr. Akkary

Dr. Akkary is a skilled and caring surgeon who puts patient safety and great results as his highest priorities.

I refer patients to Dr. Akkary knowing that they will receive the best of care. I give Dr. Akkary my highest level of recommendation!

Amazing Job

I went to Dr. Akkary for a neck lift. He did an amazing job. My results are better than I ever dreamed possible. On top of doing excellent work, Dr. Akkary was a caring and concerned doctor. The surgery center is clean and in excellent condition and the prices are more than reasonable. I highly recommend Dr. Akkary and his surgery center.

Liposuction and Tummy Tuck

I had liposuction in my arms, backfat, waist & hips in September 2022. I also just had a full tummy tuck two weeks ago. I am very pleased with all the work he has done on me. The most caring Dr. I have ever met. He deserves more than five stars and his staff are amazing nurses.
