Radiate Your Beauty with Sunder Plastic Surgery

At Sunder Plastic Surgery, we view the pursuit of beauty as a holistic endeavor—a harmonious blend of looking and feeling your best. Our commitment to facelift excellence extends beyond aesthetics, crafting results that echo both confidence and inner comfort. Let us guide you on a journey where rejuvenation isn't just skin deep.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reverse the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, muscles weaken, and fat deposits may shift, resulting in sagging skin, wrinkles, and jowls. A facelift involves lifting and repositioning underlying facial tissues, tightening muscles, and removing excess skin to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. Dr. Sunder's expertise ensures that each facelift is tailored to the individual's unique anatomy and desired outcomes, delivering natural-looking results that restore confidence and reveal a revitalized version of yourself.

The Benefits of a Facelift

More than erasing years, a facelift is a celebration of revitalization. As life's canvas paints lines of experience, skin can loosen, and contours can fade. Our facelift brings your features into focus, creating a harmony that goes beyond the surface. Here are the benefits of a facelift in Beverly Hills:

Youthful Appearance

A facelift effectively reduces sagging skin, wrinkles, and jowls, restoring a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

Improved Facial Contours

The procedure lifts and repositions facial tissues, enhancing facial contours and creating a smoother profile.

Enhanced Confidence

The visible reduction in signs of aging can lead to increased self-confidence and a more positive self-image.

Long-Lasting Results

While aging continues, the results of a facelift are long-lasting, providing enduring improvement in facial appearance.

Natural-Looking Outcome

Dr. Sarmela Sunder's expertise ensures a natural-looking outcome that doesn't appear overly "done."

Dr. Sunder’s Mid Facelift vs a Traditional Facelift: What is the Difference?

Pioneered by Dr. Sarmela Sunder, the mid-facelift offers a focused and innovative approach to facial rejuvenation by targeting the mid-face region, specifically addressing hollowing under the eyes and deep nasolabial folds—issues often overlooked by traditional facelifts. Using an endoscopic technique, Dr. Sunder lifts and repositions sagging skin to restore youthful fullness and enhance facial symmetry, reducing shadows and hollows under the eyes and smoothing deep folds around the mouth for a vibrant and natural-looking appearance. This procedure provides comprehensive mid-face rejuvenation with minimal scarring and quicker recovery time compared to a traditional facelift.

In contrast, a traditional facelift, or rhytidectomy, addresses significant sagging and deep wrinkles across the entire face, including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck, through larger incisions and more extensive tissue manipulation. This results in a longer recovery period with more pronounced swelling and bruising.

Who is a Candidate for Facelift?

Ideal candidates for a facelift are healthy individuals with visible signs of aging (sagging skin, deep creases, jowls), good skin elasticity, and realistic expectations. They should be non-smokers, have stable weight, and have not achieved desired results from non-surgical treatments.

Is a Facelift Right for You?

Are you finding that the reflection in the mirror doesn't quite match how you feel inside? If you've noticed signs of aging like sagging skin, jowls, and a loss of facial volume that are making you appear older than you truly feel, a facelift could be the transformative solution you've been seeking. Ideal candidates for a facelift in Beverly Hills are those who have experienced shifts in the balance of their facial features due to the effects of time and are seeking to enhance their natural beauty and restore their confidence.

Your Facelift Journey What to Expect

Embarking on a facelift journey at Sunder Plastic Surgery is a deliberate step towards reclaiming your confidence and achieving a harmonious transformation. Dr. Sarmela Sunder's expertise and meticulous approach ensure that your experience is not only comfortable but also tailored to your unique needs. Here's a comprehensive overview of what to expect during your facelift procedure:

Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Sarmela Sunder. During this personalized session, you'll discuss your specific concerns, aesthetic goals, and medical history. Dr. Sunder will carefully evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and underlying tissue to create a customized surgical plan that aligns with your aspirations.

Anesthesia

On the day of your procedure, you'll be provided with the appropriate anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.

Dr. Sunder will determine whether general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is most suitable for your individual case.

Incision Placement

Dr. Sunder employs her advanced techniques to create discreet incisions strategically placed within the natural contours of your face.

These incisions are meticulously designed to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing.

Surgical Techniques

The specific surgical techniques used during your facelift will depend on your unique needs and desired outcomes. Dr. Sunder's mastery extends to various facelift approaches, such as the SMAS facelift or deep plane technique. These techniques involve lifting and repositioning the underlying facial muscles and tissues, as well as removing excess skin, to achieve a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Tissue Repositioning

Dr. Sunder's surgical finesse shines as she delicately repositions facial muscles and tissues to restore youthful contours. This step not only lifts sagging areas but also enhances the overall harmony of your facial features.

Closing Incisions

Once the desired improvements are achieved, Dr. Sunder meticulously closes the incisions using fine sutures. The result is minimal scarring that becomes less noticeable over time.

Cost of a Facelift

The cost of a facelift typically ranges between $30,000 to $90,000, depending on various factors such as the extent of the procedure and additional fees for anesthesia and facility use. Higher costs often reflect more complex surgeries or renowned surgeons sought for their skill and reputation. It's essential for prospective patients to consult with Dr. Sunder to understand the specific factors influencing pricing and to ensure they receive personalized care aligned with their aesthetic goals.

Facelift Recovery

Embarking on the path to rejuvenation is both exciting and rewarding, and understanding the recovery process is essential to ensure a seamless journey towards your renewed appearance. Here's what you can expect during your facelift recovery in Beverly Hills:
