I have been researching facelifts, for two years. I have watched hundreds of surgeons' videos and consultations, in preparations for my own procedure. I have not contacted Dr Joe's office, yet, but have concluded that he is the most experienced and honest doctor, for the job. Very informative and has a passion for his art. Plus, the guys seems pretty cool.
Dr. Rajani, I've been watching your videos for several months. So I respect your opinion of this Doctor. I live close to Richmond, and will be watching his videos, as I have just found his name on another site.
Thank you Dr Niamtu. I laid on my bed and took a photo of my face. lol, I look 10 years younger. I am having a SMAS facelift in Dec. I have done countless research, watching hundreds of RU-vid videos, viewed hundred of before and after pics and read countless material on pre and post op. But most importantly I found the right surgeon for me. Thank you for your content and you look fantastic yourself xx
I will be coming from Colorado. In my opinion, you are the most talented and informative surgeon. The face is very important. And I appreciate that you are dedicated to the face, eyes and neck. Im excited to hopefully look refreshed and the best I can be.
Thank you so much Dr Niamtu. I am a junior consultant plastic surgeon working in Germany. You are a huge inspiration and I would like to thank you very much for sharing your experience and expertise. Keep up the great work and have a wonderful Christmas time.
Thank you for this information. I have been researching for over a year now and I still am . I'm from the UK. I would love Dr Joe to do my lower face life. All his videos are fantastic. A very trustworthy Dr. Kind regards from England.
Love this doctor he’s very honest and what he says is true. The surgery hasn’t really changed so all the names surgeons come up with for themselves are marketing strategies so beware. Great channel . A fan from a London x
@@jniamtuiii wish I was nearer to your clinic but I’m in London and researching my surgeon for my face and neck lift. You’re just the best trying to figure out how I can get to your place.
I love all your very informative videos, I think I've watched all of them or close to it. I'll be seeing you this summer and I am so excited! Keep the videos coming doctor!
Very informative video, Dr. Niamtu! Couple questions: what are effective ways to treat the “oval” area to fill out the area around the mouth? Do you ever put Botox in the corners of a drooping mouth? I’ve consulted with surgeons here in CT and they are weary of the “joker” smile as a result.
Yes, we inject the lip corner depressor muscles several times a day. The effect is small, never seen a "joker' result. The central face is treated with eyelid surgery, cheek implants, laser and other procedures.
Dr. Niamtu, one of the MAIN issues I have been dealing with are fairly deep nasolabial folds. They are prominent on my face and they even descend past the corners of my mouth😢. Do you believe a deep plane facelift be the more appropriate type of facelift for me if I am trying to improve the way my face looks? I have been waiting for years now to have a facelift to correct them so I want to make sure I undergo the best procedure for that. Thank you in advance for your kind reply.
Most facelifts will improve the NL folds to some extent. Lots of variables but it will not eliminate them. Patients with very deep folds may still need filler or fat injection. The NL folds are one of the hardest things to resolve.
Thanks and yes, as long as your diabetes is controlled and your doctor clears you. We do it frequently and monitor blood sugars throughout the procedure.
Great video so informative. I am 47 and think I will need one when I am older... no neck issue nor much loose skin nor buccal (in fact my buccal were naturally sunken before filler and I also have wide cheeks) but the baby jowls are out and nasolabial lines are annoying. @9:00 why don’t you remove some buccal fats during a facelift then, to help with the potential jowls? 💕
Hi, I'm from Lynchburg and I enjoy seeing your videos. I ha e a question that I would like your advice on..I had face-lift and neck lift. It's 3 weeks now and I still have stitches in. I had my procedure performed out of the country. I'm not sure who should remove stitches. My primary care doctor or cosmetic surgeon. Does it make difference?. I have scabs over incisions now. Do I wait till they fall off or should I get stitches out regardless. Getting concerned now. Thanks
So doctor you explained about the neck and the jawline but what do you do regarding the nasal folds and the corners of the mouth? Does one have to resort to facial injections because I don't care how much numbing cream you put on a person that must hurt like heck over and over again so many times per year I imagine it's done quarterly but maybe I'm wrong about that . Also do you do any microneedling that would encourage collagen to grow beneath the skin so that the quality of the skin itself looks more useful you can pull the muscles but sometimes the texture of the skin is like old upholstery there's only so much that can be done. Thank you (II hope you answer these questions) 🙄
I’m 6 days out from Face and neck lift, fat transfer to my checks, chin, eyebrow lift and eyelid lift and my face has minimal bruising but things are not moving much. Still very stiff so my smile is funky. I’m assuming all this will clear up with time?
I've been wanting a facelift for yeeeears, but I keep hesitating for 3 reasons: 1) I don't want general anesthesia; 2) I don't want any fillers that are not autologous, and; 3) I want an undereye lift that: a) doesn't remove undereye fat, since part of my problem is that I have NO fat in my undereye area (all I have there is just a bit of lax, thin skin and dark circles), and I also b) don't want an undereye lift to pull the undereye and reveal sclera under the irises. I don't think I'm being unreasonable. Am I?
Hello Dr. Joe , Hope u r keeping well . Love yr work ❤️. Some questions pls ; 1. Can one have upper eyelid surgery when one suffers with Glaucoma pls ? 2. Does a full face lift including neck also includes eye lid surgery? 3. Do you have patients from Europe, what happens about insurance? What would be required to get a face lift in yr clinic as regards documentation if patient lives in Europe? Thanks and regards,
We see international patients frequently except during this COVID crisis. We don't do any insurance. You can do eyelid surgery with Glaucoma if it is controlled and your opthalmologist clears you. Face and neck lift does not include eyelid surgery. Thanks for reaching out.
@@jniamtuiii Thank you for taking the time to reply . Will get back to you hopefully within 4 to 6 months when this pandemic hopefully, should be more under control. Best Rdgs and keep safe .
Tissue glue helps hold things stable, but doe not eliminate sutures. Unfortunately, we still use them. Someone needs to invent an alternative as Egyptians were using suture!
