Lunchtime Face Lifts Provided by Cleveland Plastic Surgery

June 8, 2009

The alarm goes off at 6 a.m. and you force yourself to roll out of bed. As you look in the mirror you notice that your face looks as tired as you feel. It was another night working late to finish the presentation for today’s afternoon meeting with your biggest client. You hear the radio talking about how Cleveland plastic surgery provides lunchtime face lifts and realize that’s just what you need.

Cleveland plastic surgery has a growing popularity of lunchtime face lifts, which are done within a few minutes. These quick fixes include fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane. Not to mention, Botox which is not a filler, but it is effective at getting rid of crows feet and the frown lines between the eyebrows.

Results vary with each filler. Restylane patients have experienced results up to 18 months and continued to notice improvement afterward. Juvederm has been approved by the FDA to last up to 1 year. Perlane, which is part of the Restylane family, is not derived from any animal products so it does not need to be tested for allergic reactions. Perlane also lasts a little longer than Restylane and it is naturally absorbed back into the body.

These quick Cleveland plastic surgery procedures only take a few minutes to inject and the results are immediate. However, Botox results take approximately 5-7 days. So by that afternoon meeting, your face will look flawless providing you with the confidence you need for success.

Whether you need a quick fix for scars, wrinkle corrections, lip augmentation, reducing dark under eye circles or filling in laugh lines a lunchtime face lift is a great solution.

For more information, consult with Dr. Edward Levy, your Cleveland plastic surgery practitioner who can help you decide which filler is appropriate for you.

Levels of Plastic Surgery Performed by Cleveland Plastic Surgeon

February 2, 2009
According to BeautyForLife.com, there are 4 basic levels of plastic surgery. All of these can be performed by Dr. Edward Levy, your Cleveland plastic surgeon. Each level has its own associated risks and benefits.
Cleveland Plastic Surgeon Identifies the Basic Levels of Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery

Level 1 – Are the least invasive and include facials, skin care products and facial peels. These procedures provide a temporary improvement and must be repeated on a regular basis.
Level 2 – Include light skin peels, laser treatments for spider veins and hair removal. Peels even out skin tone and stimulates collagen production in the skin. These procedures have minimal risks, all of which should be discussed with your Cleveland plastic surgeon.
Level 3 - Medium invasive cosmetic procedures, which include Botox, Restylane and Juvederm treatments, laser skin resurfacing and cellulite treatments. These procedures still carry a moderate degree of risk, which may include allergic reactions. Your Cleveland plastic surgeon will ask about allergies and determine if you are a candidate for these procedures. While these treatments are temporary, they normally last longer than Level 2 treatments.
Level 4 – These are the plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures that include breast lifts, breast augmentations and reductions, face and neck lifts, eyelid lifts, liposuction, tummy and mini tummy tucks, and other types of body contouring. These procedures carry the highest risks, but also are the most physically noticeable. Research and discuss all cosmetic  procedures with your Cleveland plastic surgeon, Dr. Edward Levy.
