Trifecta Facelift: The Next-Level Face and Neck Rejuvenation

Trifecta Facelift:

Next-Level Face and Neck Rejuvenation

Dr. Lacerna's Signature Surgery

The trifecta facelift, Dr. Lacerna’s signature surgery, is a safe and effective procedure
that combines three great cosmetic techniques for long-lasting, transformative rejuvenation.

As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jawline grows slack and jowly; folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A facelift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can’t stop this aging process.

Dr. Lacerna’s office in Sarasota & Bradenton can help set back the clock, improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

The 3 components of the Trifecta Facelift:

The Trifecta Facelift, Dr. Lacerna’s signature surgery, is a safe and effective procedure that combines three great cosmetic techniques for long-lasting, transformative rejuvenation. The first component of the Trifect Facelift is a Classic Facelift and Neck Lift. Dr. Lacerna customizes a surgical plan using advanced techniques that best address each patient’s goals and anatomy. Dr. Lacerna utilizes advanced techniques to avoid creating a “pulled” look on the face. This allows patients to enjoy facial rejuvenation without it being obvious that they have had surgery performed. The best candidate for a facelift is a man or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. Most patients are in their forties to sixties, but facelifts can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties as well. A facelift can make you look younger and fresher, and it may enhance your self-confidence in the process.

The second component of the Trifecta Facelift is a treatment of helium RF plasma. This deep resurfacing technology resets the facial skin by eliminating years of lines, aging and sun damage. Furthermore, it tightens the deepest layers of the skin. Combined with VASER’s gentle ultrasound technology, this treatment also breaks down fat cells around the jowls and neck. The third component is regenerative medicine, where Dr. Lacerna uses the latest information about the body’s own healing powers to enhance the results and accelerate the recovery. Two of the most effective treatments are platelet rich plasma (PRP), derived from the patient’s own blood, and fat grafting, which borrows mesenchymal stem cells (which are rich in regenerative properties) from adult fat cells. Finally, serums with exosomes (used in cell communication) are applied to the skin immediately after the treatments to enhance healing and improve overall skin quality.

Planning For Your Facelift

Facelifts are very individualized procedures. In your initial consultation Dr. Lacerna will evaluate your face, including the skin and underlying bone structure, and discuss your goals for the surgery. Dr. Lacerna will check for medical conditions that could cause problems during or after surgery, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood clotting problems, or the tendency to form excessive scars. Be sure to let Dr. Lacerna know if you smoke or are taking any drugs or medications, especially aspirin or other drugs that affect clotting. If you decide to have a facelift, Dr. Lacerna will create a customized surgical plan for you, explain the techniques and anesthesia she will use, and the risks, benefits and the costs involved. All procedures will be performed at our state of the art accredited adjacent Elite Aesthetic Surgery Center. We also package and include all pre-op vitamins, pre and post op skin care products from the best brands in the industry (such as ALASTIN, Allumier MD, Colorscience, ISDIN and Oxygenetix), as well as post-op treatments (Oxygen dome facial) and lymphatic massages at our very own LA SKIN SPA.

Don’t hesitate to ask Dr. Lacerna any questions you may have, especially those regarding your expectations and concerns about the results.

Facelift Options and Additions

In addition to the Trifecta Facelift, a rhinoplasty or nose reshaping procedure can be performed for a full face refresh.

Some patients may also benefit from rejuvenating the upper face or periorbital area. Dr. Lacerna’s special technique for a minimally invasive browlift procedure, utilizing helium RF plasma to permanently tighten and elevate the forehead area in a natural way, along with an upper and lower eyelid surgery, can also be performed.

The facial and neck skin quality also must be addressed at the same time, in order to produce the most youthful and natural rejuvenating results. Dr. Lacerna will recommend different options for skin resurfacing such as helium RF Plasma, Neogen PSR Nitrogen Plasma, Ellacor Micro-Coring Technology, C02 laser, erbium lasers, IPL or RF Microneedling, depending on the patient’s skin type and condition.

As an added bonus, Exosome IV MRNA treatment can be performed during the surgery in order to kick start the body’s healing abilities right away!
