Dr. Swerdloff’s Natural Lift takes about an hour to perform and can be done in our office under local anesthesia. This is similar to what is done at a dentist’s office although the area of numbing is larger.  Because the extent of surgery is less, the result is very natural appearing and recovery is easier compared to a full facelift.  Patients can leave the office immediately following the procedure and be up and around the same day.  Pain is typically mild and about two thirds of our patients take only Tylenol afterwards.  Most patients look presentable with makeup five days after surgery.  The Natural Lift can be done in conjunction with neck and jowl liposuction to maximize improvement in these areas.  Upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can also be done at the same time.  Because surgery center, hospital, and anesthesia fees are avoided, the procedure is much more affordable compared to a full facelift.  To schedule a private consultation with Dr. Swerdloff and to see pictures of many of our Natural Lift patients, please call 727.781.7080.
