Facelift Consult Live: This is How I do it

[@kc9337]

I’am getting more excited; I’am working out my caregiver situation and I’am almost to the point of calling to setup my consultation. I have made my mind up that Dr Joe is the only Doctor I would enjoy saying did surgery. He has won my confidence by showing his extensive work on KZbin. I’am 60 years old I feel that Age could never define our personality. I will not allow age to cheat me out of looking as well as I feel on the inside. Thank you Dr Joe Niamtu for all the videos and hours of your time invested in them . Your amazing

God Bless you Dr. Joe. I become addicted to all your videos. I discover you here like a week ago, and I can't stop watching your videos and explanations. I am dreaming about facelift for years.

Hallo Doktor Joe! Happy New Year! I just have seen your live video with your colleague from LA regarding your congress in March 2024. It was a fantastic conversation I enjoyed very much! Thank you for the possibility to watch it! 🙏🙏🙏

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks so much for your detailed explaination.

You are so welcome!

[@brendapaul7560]

These results are outstanding! Your passion and reputation combined with your immense talent says it all. Thank you very much for putting out these videos that are so informative and encouraging. I especially love your "classic" before/after images. WOW! Moving forward with this life transforming surgery is something to look forward to in the midst of this unexpected pandemic. As soon as the borders are open, I will be making my way down from Canada to Virginia. Your results are superb. I have no doubt that all your patients must be ecstatic with their results! God Bless You, Dr. Joe!

Thanks so much for taking to take the time to comment. It will be my honor to be your surgeon.

Thank you for this video. I'm going for a facelift consultation in five days and this video was so informative. If I lived closer I'd definitely choose you for my facelift.

[@jniamtuiii]

Glad it was helpful!

What a fabulous personality u have. I would come to have a facelift just so I could meet u! Have any comrades in Beverly Hills?

[@jniamtuiii]

You are so kind. Don't really know many peeps there.

GREAT WORK!

[@jniamtuiii]

Thanks so much

[@patriotliberty3070]

Wow! You're quite the artist🔥! So excited to meet you! I'm a little concerned with your comment about the middle part of the face not being affected by the facelift...I HATE my smile lines whenever I smile...which is why I don't ever smile lol...I was hoping the face lift was the answer ugh. Really hope there's an answer during my consult with you😉. Maybe all I need is cheek implants combined with the face lift and that'll do the trick...Im a hot mess😅😅 Where are the costs for the comprehensive facelift? How much is the first consult? Thankyou for being so amazing and sharing your incredible passion and skills with the world❤💯!

He has the very best and thorough website that I’ve ever seen. By the time you watch all his videos and read everything on his site all your questions will be answered there that most likely you won’t have any questions left to ask. 😀

Hi, I had a full face lift 3 years ago, and it looks unreal. Do you work on reconstructive surgeries for patients like me.

[@jniamtuiii]

I am happy to review pictures. You can go to my website www.lovethatface.com and send them via "Ask Dr. Joe"

Hello Alicia, what do you mean by unreal? Did you get an answer from the doctor? I hope you did.

[@alicianunez2667]

@@dlppl3407 I went in to have a fresh look nothing out of the ordinary, but I came out looking different from what I look like. Not only that, the corners of my eye are pulled down, he left a hole on half of my forehead that he had to add Botox to make my forehead even, I had to go in ones a week so that he can take blood out of my right cheek, he left my face round like a Chipmunk, I have a scar on my right side of my head so large that my hair could not cover it, and he had to reopen the scar to make it less visible. It’s still visible. The scars behind my ears are very visible and bumpy. I can feel the bumps when I touch them. I can see the scars under my eyelids. Since he pulled my forehead back, eyebrows look wired, and above my right eyebrow, I have a bump, different from the left one. He also left visible scars on the corners of my eyes, and the surgery lasted 8 hours. My skin in very noble, and it heals petty good, and the scars have gotten a little better. I never wear ponytails anymore😞. Now my sunglasses are my best friend.

[@dlppl3407]

[@margerykirner5604]

Doctor do you ever do facelift under twilight sleep.? If I was getting this done, I would prefer this. Something like propofol and novocain injections??

[@jniamtuiii]

We only do general anesthesia, I believe it is the safest method.

[@margerykirner5604]

@@jniamtuiii ok could you talk about general anesthetic versus twilight sleep? Thank you very much

[@margerykirner5604]

@@jniamtuiii Most u tube docs say twilight sleep is the safest, and therefore makes the procedures much more safe! Why do you think general is better?

[@jniamtuiii]

You can't believe everything on youtube. When you have an operation at the hospital, they use general anesthesia because the patient will be comfortable and the airway is protected. Some doctors do twilight anesthesia or say they do but in fact it is general anesthesia. If you are sedated with twilight anesthesia and I ask you a question and you are unresponsive, that is general anesthesia regardless of what someone calls it. The problem is that your airway is not protected if you vomit, aspirate, get blood in your mouth, etc. Twilight anesthesia is OK but patients can "wake up", feel discomfort or just be uncomfortable from lying for so long. As long as you are going to an experienced doctor and they are accredited then you are fine if you are OK, with being half awake. I can guarantee my patients that they will not feel or remember anything and in my experience most high volume facelift surgeons use general anesthesia with a provider. I did twilight anesthesia in my early career and still do it from time to time with small cases, but for facelifts, I feel my patients are safer and more comfortable with general anesthesia.

[@karenfalbo5436]

Dr. Niamtu, look at patient at 26:40, and the few after, I notice deep nasolabial lines. What can be done during face lift to get rid of those? Also, have you ever done successful forehead and lip implants?

[@jniamtuiii]

Nasolabial folds can be very difficult to improve. Lifing, filler or fat injection are the mainstays.

[@loisadams837]

Can you fix a bulbous nose as part of the face and neck lift along with upper and lower eyelid lift? Thx.

[@jniamtuiii]

Sorry, I don't do noses

sir can the cleft formed in the chin caused by irregular fusing of jaw bones can be corrected with sliding genioplasty alone or implant is required

Neither procedure would correct the cleft.

[@reneekerner8404]

Dr Niamtu, I am 3 weeks post op from a neck lift, I had A LOT of excess skin due to weight loss. My surgeon still has me wearing compression bandage, it is normal to still have some wrinkly skin under my chin? She did some liposuction as well. I am very concerned that under my chin isn’t smooth. Thank you.

[@jniamtuiii]

You need to speak with you surgeon. Sometimes that area bunches, try not to bend you neck down a lot. I have my patients massage the region with a moistureizer for lubrication. every case is different.

[@reneekerner8404]

Joe Niamtu you’re the best! Thank you.

[@gailnightowl0423]

Doesn't the incisions in the hairline cause hair loss? Dr. Simoni does face lifts while the patient is fully awake, like with Abbey Miller from dance moms.

[@jniamtuiii]

Thanks for watching. Properly done hairline incisions do not cause hair loss, only those done wrong. Yes, some docs do facelifts awake, not sure why anyone would want to do it though. Most high volume facelift practices use IV or general anesthesia. What ever works best for surgeon and patient is a good combo. None of my patients would want to be awake. Dr. Joe :)

[@gailnightowl0423]

@@jniamtuiii Dr. Simoni has a very high volume practice. There's less danger without the general anesthesia. I watched him do her facelift and she felt no pain. He also did the neck lift.
