Keller, MD, a double boarded Specialist Facial Plastic Surgeon in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles (Westwood-UCLA), CA.

The Masterlift Facelift Santa Barbara and Los Angeles: A Natural Look That Lasts

Do you look “sad” , "mad", or "tired"– but you know you aren’t. Do you look older than you really feel – or older than you want to look? You’re not alone in this aging process. Dr. Keller has been performing corrective facelift surgery since 1975 and has also published many articles about it. It truly lifts the entire structure of the face – and restores that more youthful look that has been lost over time.

This new generation of facelifting  creates renewal and radiance, by lifting and trimming the structures of the face and neck and allowing the skin to follow. A natural, rested, youthful look is produced– without that too tight, unnatural stretched look.

A good way to demonstrate this for yourself is to stand in front of a mirror and gently lift upward and backward – watch the cheek fat pads reposition themselves where they used to be – and notice the absence of wrinkles, folds, creases and grooves around the nose, mouth and lips. You have given yourself an instantaneous facelift, with the similar natural looking results Dr. Keller achieves.

Aging happens suddenly. Often people notice it in pictures that are taken during events like weddings or class reunions.  Women may feel that "I became invisible overnight".  Men might say that "everyone says that I look"tired". 

The Masterlift Facelift - Santa Barbara and Los Angeles is designed to restore a person's appearance in a natural fashion and to last for years.  Handcrafted attention with meticulous surgical technique and the latest technologies restore the neck, face, jowls, and cheek. Muscles, fat pads, and skin are gently repositioned so that a person appears refreshed, youthened, and rejuvenated.  Looking at pre- and post-op pictures together is a remarkable difference; while, in person, a man or a woman  just looks like the same individual who appears alert, alive, and vibrant.

Dr. Keller's facelift  is also designed to restore the sagging neck "waddles".  Recent technique advances to the "Masterlift" can give a relativelly "angular" neck and relieve "banding" of the neck muscles.The "Masterlifttm" is also an excellent choice for the individual who has had a previous facelift, but did not achieve the desired results.

The Masterlift Facelift Santa Barbara and Los Angeles: Commonly Asked Questions

• Who is the best candidate for a Masterlift Facelift Santa Barbara and Los Angeles? Those who wish the "best" possible results that natural facelifting can accomplish. Usually ten days to two weeks are required to recuperate. The "Masterlift" facelift is often desired by individuals who "only want to do things once". The Masterlift is also an excellent revision surgery for those who would like to gain more from their facelift procedure.
• Why do we call it the "Masterlift Facelift Santa Barbara and Los Angeles" ? Because Dr. Keller is an acknowledged Master who specializes in aesthetic facial surgery.  Dr. Keller has peer reviewed accolades such as Castle Connolly "Top Doctor" and the Who's Who "Professional of the Year for 2007 in Facial Cosmetic Surgery. He is the co-director of the facial plastic surgery fellowship at UCLA, and has published articles and two textbooks in his field.  He is on the editorial board of an AMA journal, and has been featured on Good Morning America, Discovery Health, and other numerous magazines and media.
• How does the Masterlift Facelift Santa Barbara and Los Angeles differ from the usual facelift? The Masterlift facelift addresses the sagging structures of the face and gently restores their ligamentous suspension.  A natural result with a youthful appearance is produced.
• What causes mid-face aging? The classic cause is the sagging and downward migration of the malar fat pads – which then causes that “hollowness” in the mid-face and also contributes to jowls.
• What is the age range when aging changes shown up? Aging changes are, of course, apparent in the older patient, but may be apparent in the 35-45 year old patient as well. Often younger patients have changes that are localized to the mid-face, jowls, or neck.  More limited procedures such as endoscopic facelift, 96 Hour Mini-Lift, Radiofrequency or laser skin tightening, Cool-Lipo, liporeinjection or laser and fractionated resurfacing can be helpful. While intrinsic (genetic) aging changes may be present, "extrinsic" aging produced by sun exposure, smoking, or weight loss can cause earlier sagging of the skin and facial structures.
• Are the incisions visible after surgery and healing is complete? The incisions are placed inconspicuously in the hairline, inside the ear, and in the ear crease.  They usually are quite difficult to find and the hair can usually be styled in most any manner.
• What about swelling and bruising? Swelling and bruising is normal with any surgical procedure, however with this procedure it is minimized. In addition to gentle and meticulous techniques, we use technically advanced instrumentation, such as laser, cool-lipo, ultrasonic scalpel, and pulsed radiofrequency to minimize recovery.
• How soon are the results visible? Immediately. It will take 2-3 weeks for swelling to diminish – but the elevation is visible immediately. The face continues to heal and remodel, however, for at least a year.
• How long can I expect the results to last? Quite awhile.  Most patients are happy with their Masterlift Facelift results for 10-15 years.  The clock of aging, however, is turned back, but not stopped.
• Is the Masterlift Facelift   a good choice for revision of a facelift that I have undergone.  I'd like to get more than I did from the facelift procedure.  The Masterlift is an excellent revision procedure that can improve upon and enhance previous facelift results.
