Renowned surgeons and aesthetic practitioners from around the world will be gathering to share and discuss the latest techniques and technologies in cosmetic surgery and dermatology at The 6th Annual Facial Cosmetic Surgery International Multi-Specialty Symposium in Las Vegas, July 14-18. For the first time, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon Payman Simoni, MD, FACS, will be revealing the highly specialized techniques he has perfected with his highly publicized Simoni Lift™.
The Simoni Lift™ is a minimally invasive yet fully comprehensive face lift surgery that is performed in 60 to 90 minutes with no general anesthesia. The patient is wide awake during the procedure which allows them to sit up in an inclined position. This allows Dr. Simoni to observe the ways gravity naturally affect patients faces during surgery, providing for a more natural result that doesn't look pulled. Additional benefits of eliminating general anesthesia from the facelift procedure include, shorter recovery time, less bruising and swelling, and reduced health risks that are sometimes associated with the use of anesthesia.
Local anesthesia is used to numb the sides of the patient's face. Using very small incisions around the patient's ears, Dr. Simoni is able to access the facial region to tighten the laxity in the neck, jowls and mid-face region. Scars are completely concealed in a natural line behind the ear. "This is not a lunchtime facelift or even a mini-lift," said Dr. Simoni. "I am able to achieve results that are just as good, if not better than a traditional facelift using these methods."
Following completion of his training, Dr. Simoni sought an experience that most plastic surgeons dream of but never achieve. He traveled throughout the country to study directly with leading surgeons in the field of facial plastic surgery to benefit from their techniques and experiences in order to perfect his own.
