In Dr. Sean Alemi's own words

How Dr. Sean Alemi describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • I think it's all about facial proportionality and balance. Yeah
  • I always say surgery is a team sport. Every person has an important role, and we all have to work together to give the patient a great outcome
  • One of the things I love most about Plastic Surgery is the lifelong learning and striving to be the best we can be for our patients
  • I think this patients procedure illustrates how when done together sometimes multiple procedures can enhance a beautiful, harmonious result

Specialization

  • Deep plane facelift with platysmaplasty, endoscopic browlift, and upper liplift are the three most common procedures the doctor performs.

Technique

  • During a lab session, the doctor performed a deep plane technique on one side of a test subject, while a participant performed a plication on the other side to compare the two methods.
  • We did a temporal hair tuft sparing incision. All of these incisions are placed delicately right around the ear, and then we do a little extension along the occipital hairline

Recovery guidance

  • All of the swelling is just from the heat of the laser, which is why we do so much cooling of the skin and the dispersion of heat using ice packs and things that I know your husband's been really on top of everything with
  • I would really say three to five days after surgery is when the swelling peaks

Results

  • And my opinion, deep plane facelift gives the best result every time
  • The difference in soft tissue mobility and the degree to which we could “lift” the face spoke for itself
