DR.
LEWIS OBI’S RECENT FACE LIFT PRESENTATION
With the exception of marketing terminology
(“lifestyle lift”, “MACS” lift, etc.), facelifting procedures have advanced minimally during the past 30 years.
Although my basic approach to facial rejuvenation has persevered during my
entire plastic surgery career, the embellishments and enhancements have
significantly improved results and diminished down time. My basic artistry
continues to be evident but with the integration of advanced lasers, refined
fat grafting techniques (Adivive™) and the use of PRP (platelet rich plasma), patient’s are
experiencing more dramatic facial and neck rejuvenation. Finesse with the use
of all of the above technology has reduced recovery time by almost 50%. Most
recently, I have integrated the Canfield 3-D camera system so that preoperative
planning is more visual and patients may view their results prior to surgery www.sculptmydream.com.
This preoperative scanning is available not only to our facelift patients but
equally effective for rhinoplasty, chin and cheekbone augmentation patients. We
routinely perform 3-D scanning for all of our breast surgery patients.

The face lift techniques that set me apart from my
local colleagues and the majority of plastic surgeons globally includes first
of all the LJO Brow lift. I innovated
this technique more than 30 years ago and have performed this procedure on more
than 3000 patients. In my opinion the
LJO Brow lift is the least invasive and
most successful brow lifting technique. It absolutely avoids the “deer in the
headlights” distortion seen with the endoscopic
and other forehead lift techniques performed by many of my
colleagues. With facility, the LJO Brow Lift may be performed in less than 20 minutes and rarely results in any
noticeable scars. More recently I have included advanced fat grafting
with the Adivive™ Fat Processing system that concentrates stem cells and
eliminates oils as well as other extraneous components that interfere with
survival of the fat graft. This is combined with PRP (autologous platelet rich
plasma) which additionally improves graft take and significantly minimizes bruising. Finally, the
component of a total facelift that has the shortest longevity is sag of the
neck skin and persistent platysma neck bands. During the past five years I have
combined SlimLipo™ skin tightening with surgical tightening of skin and muscles
in the neck.

As a lifelong patron of the arts and perhaps the
only American plastic surgeon who is a Fellow of the Royal Society London
(FRSA), I think that my artistry is pervasive in all of my work. We always
try to reduce the art of Plastic Surgery to a science but when your surgery is
complete, you should want to have both an artist and plastic surgeon emerge
from the operating room.
Dr.
Lewis Obi’s art career includes his work in England with British artist Daniel
Samuels (WWW.DANIELSAMUELS.COM) and the discovery
of American Modernist Manierre Dawson in 1979. He was nominated as a Fellow of
the Royal Society, London in 1986.
