Facelift and Plastic Surgery in Salt Lake City
What is a facelift?
The facelift Dr. Patel performs in Salt Lake City provides a comprehensive improvement of the face and neck with the creation of a beautiful jawline, correction of jowls, removal of fat in the neck and designing the most beautiful neck. A facelift is one of the commonest procedures that patients come to Dr. Patel for from all over the world. He uses his “Patel Facelift” (www.patelfacelift.com) technique which combines a number of innovations giving results that are natural in appearance. The aim is to turn the clock back for each of our patients and make them look the way they feel with no signs of having had surgery. We create the non-operated look with Dr. Patel’s signature facelift.
Aging causes loss of fat, loss of collagen and elastin, laxity of tendons and ligaments and sagging of tissues resulting in jowls, loss of definition of the jawline, fullness in the neck, and deeper lines between the nose and the mouth and the mouth and the chin, looseness and bands in the neck and the appearance of a shorter neck. The “Patel Facelift” was designed to improve the laxity of the face, restore the fullness of the face, improve the folds, lines, grooves and jawline. The money is always in the jawline and the neck and we strive to improve the jawline and the neck so that it often looks even better than when the patient was more than 20 years younger!
Although each patient has his or her photos from younger days studies and analyzed prior to surgery, we perform a mixture of deep plane lifting, repositioning, nano fat grafting, use of the modern CO2 lasers and soft tissue repositioning and augmentation to create beautiful results. Look at our amazing before-and-after photographs and patients’ comments and experience with our techniques and our results.
Can I have a minilift (mini-facelift)?
A mini-facelift has been called many names, including “short scar facelift, swift lift, quick lift, weekend lift, small-scar facelift, overnight lift” and many others. The aim was to perform quicker surgery with quicker healing time but with results that are inferior to those of a properly performed facelift which also includes a necklift. These mini-facelifts are reasonable as long as the patient realizes that the degree of improvement is not as amazing as that seen with a proper facelift. If you have moderate aging changes, this may be appropriate for you but we would examine you and show you exactly what sort of result you would get.
Dr. Patel designed a technique of showing patients exactly the sort of results patients will get so that there are no surprises after surgery. His published technique is used all over the world to show patients what to expect: we go over this with each of our patients. We have been impressd with how predictable this method of showing patients what to expect is. It takes away the anxiety of not knowing what sort of result you will get from a facelift. We go over details of incisions, what to expect, possible risks, etc in our detailed consultation with each of our patients.

Neck lift in Salt Lake City
“The money is always in the neck!” – Dr BCK Patel MD, FRCS
Aging of the neck can result in neck bands (platysma bands), neck fat (lipodystrophy), skin laxity, jowls, loss of jawline, loss of the neck angle and the appearance of a short neck. There are many different types of neck procedures we perform in our Plastic Surgery practice in Salt Lake City, including local liposuction, subcutaneous laser for skin tightening, resection of neck bands, recreation of the mental angle (jaw angle), creating a tighter jawline and improving skin laxity. The best results are always seen when a proper facelift is performed which includes a necklift. The skin is improved with a combination of lasers prior to surgery or following surgery.
If a localized neck procedure (neck lift) is appropriate and will give you an acceptable result, we will go over the details of how the procedure will be performed and what to expect.
To get the best results from a necklift or a facelift, we analyze and plan your surgery in detail. It is important for us to review your younger photographs and also consider if you are at the weight where you want to be to give you the very best result.

Brow Lift Salt Lake
|
The brows descend and rest below our bony orbital rims, giving us an appearance of sadness or tiredness. Dr. Patel and Dr. Saltz introduced the endoscopic browlift to Salt Lake City and have taught many plastic surgeons the art and science behind these endoscopic brow lifts which give very natural results.

Upper Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Salt Lake City
The earliest aging in the face often affects the upper eyelids. As the eyes are said to be “the windows to the soul”, and as we communicate by looking at one another’s eyes, these aging changes are the first ones that patients will notice. They become more noticeable in photographs, especially selfies!
The loss of definition of the upper eyelid skin crease and folds of skin over the upper eyelid lashes means that ladies cannot wear their make-up and men notice the skin pushing down their eyelashes. Puffiness of the upper eyelids also makes us look tired.
Because upper eyelids are so important in the health of one’s eyes, it is vital for the surgeon to be knowledgeable about the normal anatomy and physiology not only of the eyelids but also the eyes. Because we “fix” so many parts of the face, including upper eyelids after surgery that has gone badly elsewhere, we are careful to perform conservative and safe surgery for our patients, giving them a very natural look. Indeed, many patients note that they look relaxed and rejuvenated without anybody knowing that we have performed surgery. We have hundreds of before-and-after photographs after upper eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty), which illustrate the many techniques we use when performing upper blepharoplasty.
In ladies, we create firm eyelid skin creases with an elegant curve to the upper eyelids and turn the eyelashes out (make them “proud”) to give a beautiful result. In men, we leave them looking like good-looking men with good-looking masculine eyelids! Look up George Clooney and Brad Pitt, among some others!

Upper Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Salt Lake City
Lower eyelid surgery or lower blepharoplasty in Salt Lake City
One of the earliest aging changes seen in ladies is the puffiness that occurs in the lower eyelids (called baggy lower eyelids). Early lower eyelid changes can be treated with a combination of botox and fillers to fill the nasojugal and malar grooves. This allows us to improve the appearance of early bags of the lower eyelids without surgery and is well worth doing as long as the doctor performs delicate and accurate placement of the filler in the lower eyelid grooves. The wrong amounts injected in the wrong places will leave you with puffy-looking lower eyelids which requires us to dissolve the filler.
We have a detailed discussion of all the changes that occur with lower eyelid aging in different age groups. The most difficult cosmetic surgical procedure on the face is a lower blepharoplasty as the surgeon must have a detailed knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, surface anatomy and cross-sectional aging changes and be able to design the procedures for each individual patient. Dr. Patel has described his technique of lower blepharoplasty and also the procedure he designed and published which is performed all over the world by surgeons he has trained, called the “Hammock Lift”. This gives an improvement in the lower eyelids, the grooves below the lower eyelids, the cheeks and even the jawline.

Botox in Salt Lake CityEveryone knows of botox and fillers but everyone also knows and has seen people who have had badly injected botox and fillers!! With years of teaching medical students, residents, fellows and other plastic surgeons the anatomy of the face and how and where to inject different substances, Dr. Patel is able to design your sequence of injections to leave you looking rejuvenated and very natural. Bruising, swelling and some minor effects can be seen with all injections and when they occur, they are short-term. We use coolers and topical anesthetics to make your experience as comfortable as we can and we always review our result to ensure we give you the result that looks best on you.

Fillers Salt Lake City
“People are getting too many fillers put in their faces.” – Prof. BCK Patel MD, FRCS
Sometimes in life (often in life), a little is good, a little more may be better, but even more is not always the best. We continue to see many patients who have been “over-filled” and look unnatural. When we use fillers, we design them the same way we design facelifts, neck lifts, brow lifts, etc: with attention to detail and and analysis of where it will give our patients the best and most natural result. This not only saves our patients money, but also gives them very natural results. We apply this to lips by creating beautifully shaped lips for everyone from patients in their 20’s to patients in their 80’s and older. The aim is to always leave the lips looking beautiful and inviting without any of the hallmarks of the over-filled lips we see frequently. We can improve lip lines, improve the shape of the lips, and also the contour of the lips. See our description on “aging of the lips” and see how we design lips to give you the best possible result.

Cheek Lift Salt Lake City
Aging affects the cheeks and lower eyelids together, resulting in loss of cheek fullness and a descent of the cheek tissues giving rise to jowls (jowly faces) affecting the lower part of the face and jawline. Isolated cheek lifts can be performed to restore the fullness of youth but more commonly, we combine it with lower eyelid blepharoplasty, fat grafts and CO2 laser application in the form of a Hammock Lift to give our patients a better result than what one can achieve with just a cheek lift. This is applicable to men and women and in the young and in older patients, depending upon the aging changes one sees. The amazing thing about these procedures we designed is the improvement one sees along the jawline (jowls and jowly jawlines). Our patients are always surprised but delighted that using this procedure we designed, we are able to give such a comprehensive improvement of the midface and also the lower part of the face. These procedures are performed endoscopically, using modern minimal incision techniques.

Jowl Treatment Salt Lake City“Early jowls are the bane of all beautiful women” – Prof. BCK Patel MD, FRCS
Nobody likes jowls. The more beautiful or handsome you are, the earlier you will notice the occurrence of early jowls which bespoil the elegant and graceful flow of the vertical jawline to the horizontal jawline to the chin. The intrusive early jowl, once seen is there to be seen!! Fortunately, there are many possible ways of improving this. When seen early, we can camouflage the jawline with fillers along the jawline effectively hiding the jowls and jowly jaw. We can use ultrasound and radiofrequency devices to improve the jowls, often combined with subcutaneous delivery of radiofrequency or lasers. To create beautiful jawlines and reverse aging impressively, we use our signature facelift and necklift procedure. Come and see our amazing results. Whether you have early, moderate or advanced jowls, we have a solution for you. |

We also use the CO2 laser to perform laser blepharoplasties which gives our patients less bruising and swelling and quicker healing.

We have the latest lasers and injection techniques which allow us to eliminate these pesky vessels which make the legs look as if they have bruises on them and prevent people from wearing shorts or swimming costumes. On the face, most ladies will develop veins at the corners of the nose and also on the cheeks and chin. Over time, these can pick up more sun damage causing more skin changes of aging. Many patients also have acne rosacea which is a condition which creates florid blood vessels on the nose and the cheeks. Fortunately, we now have the latest lasers which allow us to improve all these changes on the legs, face and elsewhere. Come and see our amazing before-and-after photographs.
