When people ask who performs the most natural facelifts in the world, they are really asking who can restore a face without changing the person behind it. After more than twenty years devoted exclusively to facial plastic surgery of the face and neck, I have learned that natural results come from precise anatomical planning, comprehensive correction, and disciplined execution.
As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and the creator of Vertical Restore®, my philosophy is simple. Facial rejuvenation should return you to a stronger, more youthful version of yourself while preserving your identity. The goal is structural restoration, not tightness. Let’s take a closer look at what truly defines a natural facelift and how I approach achieving it.
What Natural Really Means In Facial Rejuvenation
Natural does not mean minimal. A result can be powerful and still look authentic. The difference lies in whether surgery restores underlying support or merely tightens the surface.
Facial aging progresses from the top down. The outer brow lowers, the midface descends, jowls form, and the neck follows. When correction relies on horizontal pulling toward the ears, the jawline may improve, but the face often flattens and visible tension appears.
My planning follows four principles:
- Restore vertical support: Aging is directional, so correction must move vertically.
- Treat the face as one unit: The brow, midface, jawline, and neck are evaluated together.
- Preserve proportion: Your individual facial geometry remains intact.
- Avoid skin tension: The skin is redraped, never stretched.
When these standards guide the procedure, the result appears balanced and refreshed rather than surgical.
Why Specialization And Focus Matter
Facial plastic surgery is unforgiving. Subtle differences in vector, release, and repositioning determine whether an outcome looks refined or obvious.
My training is concentrated in head and neck surgery, and my practice is limited to facial rejuvenation. Patients searching for the best facial plastic surgeon are often looking for this level of focused expertise and consistency. For natural outcomes, four factors consistently matter:
- Advanced facial expertise: Detailed knowledge of ligaments, fat compartments, and soft tissue dynamics.
- A face-only practice: Mastery develops through practice and refinement.
- Individualized surgical design: No two faces age the same way.
- Consistency: Natural results should be predictable across patients.
How Vertical Restore® Elevates The Standard
Traditional facelifts often focused on the lower face and relied on lateral tension, improving one region while leaving others partially treated.
Vertical Restore® was designed to address the entire face anatomically. By releasing key retaining ligaments and repositioning deeper structures vertically, I elevate the outer brow, midface, jawline, and neck together. The lift follows the natural direction of youthful support, and the skin is redraped without tension to preserve softness of expression.
When appropriate, facial rejuvenation may also include:
- Fat transfer: To restore volume in areas that have thinned.
- Targeted eye refinement: To maintain openness without overcorrection.
- Skin optimization: To ensure surface quality matches structural improvement.
Each component supports a cohesive result that looks seamless in everyday life.
