    S06E104 Tight Faces, Loose Facts: The Facelift Myths That Make Surgeons Cringe

    The facelift ranks among the most transformative yet misunderstood cosmetic surgical procedures. In this illuminating discussion, Join four board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Sam Jejurikar @samjejurikar, Dr. Salvatore Pacella @sandiegoplasticsurgeon, Dr. Lawrence Tong @yorkvilleplasticsurgery, and Dr. Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic pull back the curtain on facelift myths that confuse patients and cloud expectations.Ever wonder what happens when your face ages? It's not just about sagging—you're losing volume too, particularly in the mid-face. A properly performed facelift addresses both issues, repositioning descended tissues while restoring lost volume. This distinction separates surgical intervention from the piecemeal approach of fillers and non-surgical treatments.The surgeons tackle the persistent fear of looking "weird" or "pulled," explaining that unnatural results typically stem from multiple procedures or excessive surgery—not from skillfully executed facelifts. They also address the popular request for "mini lifts," revealing how this often-undefined term creates confusion when patients actually need more comprehensive treatment for their concerns.What surprises many? Facelifts don't improve the entire face. The standard procedure addresses the lower face and neck while leaving the eyes, brow, forehead, and perioral area untouched. The panel clarifies that men benefit tremendously from facelifts (with specific techniques preserving masculine features) and that younger patients (40s-50s) often achieve more natural results with simpler procedures.The conversation covers recovery realities (less painful than expected), scar concerns (typically well-hidden and minimal), and the significant but justifiable investment required. Perhaps most valuable is their explanation of result longevity—how proper facelifts "set the clock back" by 7-15 years, providing lasting improvement that makes the procedure cost-effective over time.Whether you're considering facial rejuvenation or simply curious about what happens beneath the skin, this episode delivers straight talk from surgeons who perform these procedures daily. Their insights might change how you think about facial aging and the surgical options available to address it.@3plasticsurgerypodcast #podcast #plasticsurgery #cosmeticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #beauty #boardcertified #aesthetic #3plasticsurgeonsandamicrophone ⁠#bergencosmetic ⁠#bestplasticsurgeon #beforeafter #aesthetics #realpatientrealresult #boardcertifiedplasticsurgeon #njplasticsurgeon #njplasticsurgery #nyplasticsurgeon #nyplasticsurgery #goblue

    Should you be asking for TXA (Tranexamic acid) in your cosmetic surgery procedure? If you asked plastic surgeons 5 years ago if they used TXA- nearly all of them would have said no.Originally approved for heavy menstrual bleeding and tooth extraction in hemophiliacs, TXA has been used off-label in cardiac, orthopedic and many other types of surgery. Recently TXA has made its way to plastic surgery, where surgeons are reportedly using it for nearly every aesthetic plastic surgical procedure - facelifts, liposuction, tummy tucks, breast lifts, and more.Does it really reduce bleeding, swelling and increase speed of recovery? Dr. Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic, Dr. Salvatore Pacella @sandiegoplasticsurgeon and Dr. Sam Jejurikar @samjejurikar discuss TXA, how and why they use it, and whether it really is a "WONDER DRUG" for cosmetic plastic surgery.
