The Weekend Lift will address the jowls. Local anesthesia is required so you are Awake and Relaxed and it is an Affordable solution to traditional lifting procedures. 
Dr. Williams, The Face Specialist, performs the Weekend Lift just outside Albany, NY which is a procedure that is simple, quick and can easily fit into your lifestyle, lifting your confidence.

Choosing a plastic surgery procedure first requires patients to determine their goals and expectations. For those patients who have avoided facelift surgery due to the downtime and the requirement of general anesthesia, the hour-long weekend lift procedure is an ideal option because it requires only local anesthesia with 2-3 days of downtime with minimal bruising and swelling. Visible results can usually be seen and felt immediately following the procedure.

The Weekend Lift procedure takes approximately one hour and medication by mouth (oral sedation) and local anesthesia are used. The Weekend Lift differs from traditional facelift surgery in that the traditional procedure requires an incision beginning at the temple area, just above and in front of the ear, whereas the incision required for the weekend lift is smaller and only extends below the earlobe.

If jowls are not the only concern and you would like some lift in your neck Dr. Williams can preform the Extended Weekend Lift. It is a customized procedure that gives a lift to the neck. The Extended Weekend Lift will require a few extra days of recovery. Stitches will remain in place for one full week. This procedure would require IV sedation.

The Extended Weekend Lift is a great option for patients who want to improve the look of the jowls and wrinkles, whereas a traditional facelifting procedure is best for those who want significant  improvement of the neck.
