Part 1: Pre-Surgery - Linda's Facelift Plan - Vancouver Facelift Surgery Footage by Dr. Thomas Buonassisi
Do you wonder, "How is a facelift done"? Before considering any facelift procedure, it's important to be informed on the many techniques used by surgeons and to be aware of how your goals can be achieved at the surgery level, so this is an excellent question to be asking. In this series of a fully documented facelift surgery procedure, Board Certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Buonassisi of 8 West Clinic (Vancouver, Canada) walks us through the Deep Plane Facelift and Platysmaplasty Neck Lift process with a real patient.This surgery footage sub-series is a supplement to Dr. Buonassisi's All About Facelifts educational video series, which we have compiled for easy watching all in one place. This free-to-access series is the prime online resource to refer to if you aren't quite sure where to start before considering facelift surgery. With so many different types of facelift techniques and procedures that are improperly identified as facelifts, Dr. Buonassisi aims to untangle these and help you find where your goals might fit in, while informing on the foundational details about the surgery that are essential to know.On surgery day, your plastic surgeon will go over the surgery plan with you one last time before going into the operation. Our lovely repeat patient Linda chose Dr. Buonassisi for her deep plane facelift and neck lift procedure, who lays out the plan for her again with the techniques they have agreed on to get her the best results. In this video of Part 1, watch Linda and Dr. Buonassisi discuss in this important pre-surgery component of the facelift process as he briefs and prepares her in the operating room just moments before her surgery.See more videos in this series at the end of this page.
