In this video, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Amir Karam cuts through the hype to evaluate eight of the top facial rejuvenation procedures from a doctor's perspective. He's rating 8 of the most popular procedures from 0 to 10, to equip you with the essential information needed to make informed decisions for your own case. In this video, Dr. Karam delves into specific facelift procedures, such as PDO face threads and the "liquid facelift" (which often fall short due to their temporary nature or tendency to distort the face). He explains the anatomical reasons why a standalone neck rejuvenation, or isolated neck lift can fail in aging patients, and why the trendy "less is more" approach of the mini lift can often lead to short-lived mini results. He'll also explain how plastic surgeons have evolved from the traditional SMAS facelift to more advanced techniques, leaving SMAS facelifts behind in 2025. You'll learn his honest assessment of the brow lift and its role in facial aging. And finally, Dr. Karam highlights the significant advancements seen in the deep plane facelift and introduces his own refined approach, the Vertical Restore® - a facelift technique to which he's dedicated his life's work in order to maximize durability, natural results, and comprehensive rejuvenation.
