EXPRESS-LIFT FACELIFT
CONNECTICUT
The ExpresS-Lift is a minimum-incision face-lift (the skin incision is relatively short compared to traditional face-lifts), and the resulting scar is inconspicuous. This procedure provides an overall lift to your neck and the lower third of your face. Compared to a traditional facelift, The ExpresS-Lift is a quicker operation with fewer complications and a much faster recovery.

AM I GOOD CANDIDATE FOR FACELIFT?
The ExpresS-Lift is particularly well suited for physically healthy middle-aged and younger patients who are realistic in their expectations regarding the appearance of loose facial and neck skin. Many patients elect to have an ExpresS-Lift performed at a younger age at the first signs of a sagging lower face — creating a less dramatic and less noticeable change than if they had waited longer. However, as long as you are healthy, an ExpresS-Lift can be performed at any age and can deliver remarkable results.

EXPRESS-LIFT FACELIFT PROCEDURE
The ExpresS-Lift procedure is designed to improve the most visible signs of aging and restore a more youthful appearance to the face and neck. The procedure can improve the appearance of sagging facial skin of the lower face as well as jowls and loose neck skin.
The emphasis is on lifting sagging fascia in a more vertical direction that is used in older facelifts. Gravity is the cause of sagging and is a force that pushes straight down. Lifting in a more vertical direction results in a natural look and avoids the obvious “wind tunnel” or “swept back” look of traditional facelifts. In most cases Dr. Langdon uses a minimal length of skin incision that is relatively short compared to traditional facelifts, resulting in an inconspicuous scar.
Only local anesthesia is used during an ExpresS-Lift. The local anesthetic affords the following advantages: the procedure is painless, there is very little bleeding, and subsequently little bruising and swelling (thus a rapid recovery).

Similar to a facelift, an ExpresS-lift rejuvenates the lower portion of the face and neck. The ExpresS-lift also lifts the cheeks, improves the nasolabial folds and rejuvenates the midface.
Unlike other “mini-facelifts” that only tighten the skin, the ExpresS-Lift is a real facelift, with tightening of the connective tissue layer below the skin (this is called the “Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System” or SMAS). Because of the tightening of the SMAS, it is also necessary to remove some of the skin just in front of and above the ear. Minimal tension on the skin reduces visible scarring.

*WHAT RESULTS WILL I SEE?
The most remarkable feature of the ExpresS-Lift is the rapid recovery, with relatively little bruising and swelling. The key is Dr. Langdon’s use of local anesthesia, which constricts small blood vessels during the procedure.
After an ExpresS-Lift facelift, some numbness, bruising and swelling will occur. Bruising typically takes 7-10 days to fade. Many patients will return to work within one to two weeks of their ExpresS-Lift procedure.
Every surgical procedure carries certain risks and the potential for complications. The potential complications associated with the ExpresS-Lift procedure may include the following: bruising, swelling, sensitivity to anesthesia, asymmetry, infection, nerve injury, and poor healing.
