Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery Reviews
49 Years Old, Fraxel Repair and Full Facial Fat Transfer - Louisville, KY - I chose Dr. Mizuguchi after 2 other PS consults for fraxel, fat transfer and a mini facelift. Dr. M told me that the mini lift would not result in a good long term result since I'd had weight loss surgery and my skin would not respond as others would. No one else picked up on that. He also is very kind and fun and instills confidence in you that he knows exactly what will work for you. I had the fraxel and fat transfer and I am very, very pleased. The staff at Calospa is also top notch, very careful to review the procedures thoroughly, prepare you for surgery and follow you closely afterward. I cannot recommend these folks more highly.

am i a candidate for a facelift?
Often, candidates who desire a facelift procedure are bothered by noticeable drooping in the temple to jowl regions of the face. Facelift surgery can address various sections, depending on your specific needs. It is important to understand that age won't always determine the most effective time to receive a facelift. There are several individual factors, as well as many lift techniques, to inform the choice. For example, the lifting technique performed will vary for patients under 50 vs. those who are older. Skin laxity is one of the primary factors in the planning process. Also, facelift candidates need to be in good overall health, refrain from smoking, and have realistic result expectations.
how is a facelift performed?
Facelift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure at an accredited surgical facility where you will be under general anesthesia. With carefully placed incisions behind the ear and around the hairline, extraneous tissue, skin, and fat are removed from the face. The underlying tissue and muscles are tightened to create long-term results. The skin is repositioned and re-draped tighter for a smooth, natural appearance. Facelift surgery typically takes around four hours to complete.

Facelift FAQs
How much does a facelift cost?
The cost of your facelift will depend on the technique used. During your consultation, Dr. Mizuguchi will develop your unique treatment plan to match your needs and goals. When this is complete, he can go over estimates of fees. To avoid unnatural-looking results, it's better to concentrate on finding an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Mizuguchi, instead of the lowest price. Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery can help you find low-interest financing that will make your surgery affordable.
Which technique is best for me?
The best technique for you will depend on your needs, goals, degree of skin laxity, which areas are being addressed, and other factors. To produce the results you want, Dr. Mizuguchi will discuss the different surgical techniques during your consultation. He will then help you decide which technique is best.
Should I get a surgical or nonsurgical facelift?
Although there are many great noninvasive skin tightening procedures, these can usually only give you small improvements. For moderate to severe skin sagging, a surgical facelift is the best choice to improve your appearance. In your consultation, Dr. Mizuguchi will discuss your options, including nonsurgical procedures, to help you choose what is best for your needs and goals.
What about wrinkle fillers and relaxers over facelift surgery?
Injectable wrinkle fillers and relaxers, like BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM®, have become more popular to improve fine lines and wrinkles. Also known as a liquid facelift, injectable wrinkle treatments can give early signs of aging; however, the results are temporary. A facelift can produce more dramatic improvements than injectables with long-lasting results. Ask Dr. Mizuguchi about injectable treatments in your consultation.
Will my results look natural?
Some patients worry that a facelift will make their skin look shiny, overly tight, or like they live in a wind tunnel. Dr. Mizuguchi focuses on giving you a natural-looking result — so you appear refreshed, not fake. He listens to your concerns and goals before developing your personal treatment plan to produce your best results.
