Understanding Facial Rejuvenation

As years pass, physical appearance can feel disconnected from inner vitality. Wrinkles and loose skin may create an aged look that does not reflect one's internal energy. A facelift offers a surgical solution to restore facial appearance, aligning external presentation with internal youthfulness.

  • High SMAS Facelift: Enhanced correction for significant skin laxity
  • 360 Facelift: Comprehensive facial rejuvenation technique
  • PSP Facelift: Avoids traditional "tightness" for natural results

  • Lack of jawline definition
  • Developing double chin

I have had a few plastic surgery experiences over the years. I have had great, good, and disappointing outcomes. The Neck Lace procedure performed by Dr. Brent has produced an excellent result… greatly appreciated in my 60th year! It has been an easy recovery, with minimal bruising and swelling, and he and his staff give you all the support you need for successful recovery. I feel and look really beautiful. I’m thrilled! He gave me a fantastic upgrade that takes several years off my overall look. Thank you, Dr. Brent! Barbara G in Santa Barbara

Black pants before, Gray pants is after abdominal surgery with Dr. Moelleken. Unprofessional office, stitches were sloppy, gave me a long scar, plus a garish vertical scar with bunching of the skin, wide, horizontal navel. I asked for a refund and he grew defensive and gaslit me. Miserable and expensive experience. Thankfully was able to repair at the hands of another surgeon.
