RESTORE YOUR YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE

Dr. Sanjay Grover's Restorative GLift deep plane facelift is a sophisticated deep plane facelift technique designed to rejuvenate the face by repositioning the deeper layers of facial tissue. Unlike traditional facelifts that focus mainly on the skin, the Restorative GLift targets the underlying muscle and fascia to provide a more natural, long-lasting lift and contour. This innovative approach restores youthful volume and structure to the face, addressing sagging cheeks, jowls, and neck laxity while maintaining a harmonious and balanced appearance.

The procedure is tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, resulting in a refreshed, natural-looking outcome that enhances the facial profile without an over-pulled appearance. The Restorative GLift is ideal for those seeking significant rejuvenation and offers transformative results that reflect Dr. Grover's expertise and dedication to aesthetic excellence.

WHAT THE RESTORATIVE GLIFT DOES

Targets Deeper Tissues: Unlike traditional facelifts, the Restorative GLift deep plane facelift focuses on lifting and repositioning the deeper layers of the face.
Repositions Facial Muscles and Fat: By addressing the underlying muscle and fat layers, the procedure restores volume and contour to the cheeks and midface, creating a more youthful appearance.
Natural-Looking Results: Since it lifts the deeper tissues rather than just tightening the skin, the results look more natural and last longer.
Improves Jawline and Neck: The deep plane technique effectively reduces jowls and tightens the neck, enhancing the jawline definition.
Minimal Skin Tension: By repositioning deeper tissues, there is less tension on the skin, reducing the risk of an over-pulled or unnatural look.

Limited Activity: It's recommended to keep activity to a minimum and rest with your head elevated to reduce swelling.

Early Recovery (Weeks 2-3)

Decreasing Swelling and Bruising: If present, swelling and bruising continue to improve, and most patients feel comfortable returning to light activities.
Stitches Removal: Sutures are typically removed within 7-10 days after the procedure.
Returning to Daily Activities: Many patients start feeling more comfortable resuming non-strenuous daily activities, including returning to work (if their job is not physically demanding).

Improved Appearance: Swelling significantly decreases, and results start to become more visible. Any residual bruising can be easily concealed with makeup.
