If performed correctly,
a facelift won't look tight or unnatural. Dr.
Gruber's facelift technique not only freshens your
appearance, but takes years off your age. The day
after the procedure, you'll notice an attractive
change in the contours of your neck and cheeks. And
(with a little makeup) you can return to your
regular activities as early as a week later.
Before After

This 56-year-old
woman sought improvement in the contour of her
neck and other facial areas including the upper
and lower eyelids. After a facelift which
included removal of the adipose tissue of the
neck and after an upper and lower blepharplasty
(skin and fat removal from the eyelids) she
showed considerable improvements particularly in
the profile contour of the neck.
Before After

This 56-year old
woman requested improvement in her facial
appearance including the eyes and fine lines of
the face. She also requested improvement in her
profile. A facelift was performed along with
dermabrasion to the perioral area (around the
mouth). An upper and lower blepharoplasty was
also performed in which the extra skin and fat
of the eyelid region was removed.
Before After

This 53-year old
woman was unhappy with the over- all appearance
of her face, including the fine lines and and
skin laxity of the face. She also complained of
the fullness in her neck. A facelift was
performed along with a lower bleph- aroplasty to
remove some of the extra skin of the lower
lids. She also received a surgical correction
of the frown lines by thinning out the muscles
that cause the problem. In addition, some of
the adipose tissue of the neck was removed and
the fine lines around the mouth were treated
with dermabrasion. As a result, there is a
significant improvement in the appearance and
youthfulness of the face, particularly as seen
on profile.
Before After

This patient
exhibited severe wrinkles and skin laxity from
chronic sun exposure. The treatment included a
facelift, upper and lower blepharoplasty,
perioral fat graft and perioral dermabrasion.
The result shows an overall improvement in the
skin quality and facial appearance, that speaks
for itself.
Before After

This woman
requested an improvement in the appearance of
her neck. A facelift (which includes correction
of the neck) was performed and corrected the
problem. She feels much better about the
appearance of her neck.
Before After


This patient
wanted to improve the fullness seen under her
chin as well as improve the puffiness of her
lower lids.
Both a submentoplasty and lower blepharoplasty
were recommended. The lower blepharoplasty
required the removal of the fat pads and for the
submentoplasty, the excess fat under the chin
was removed.
The patient is left with a much more defined jaw
line and eyes that look less sleepy.
Before After


This middle aged,
pleasant healthy patient requested facial
rejuvenation. She was particularly concerned
about the appearance of her neck. She felt much
younger than her chronological age and wanted to
look as good and young as she felt. Physical
findings revealed good quality facial skin that
was somewhat redundant in the jowl and neck
area. She was considered to be an excellent
operative candidate. A facelift was undertaken
without any difficulties. The patient found the
procedure easy to go through and virtually
painless. After one week she was able to wear
some makeup and go to a grocery store. After 2
weeks she was able, with the aid of some make
up, to see friends. She healed remarkably
quickly and looks as good as she feels.
