Facelift in San Diego

Brow lift surgery at Torrey Pines Plastic Surgery Del Mar using advanced minimally-invasive endoscopic techniques. Dr. Kayva Crawford makes small incisions hidden within the scalp, then gently lifts and secures forehead tissues at a more youthful height using deeper fixation rather than skin tension. Addresses brow ptosis, forehead lines, and the fatigued appearance caused by descended brow position. Recovery involves 7–10 days of initial swelling, with most patients socially ready within this window.

Surgical neck lift at Torrey Pines Plastic Surgery Del Mar, performed by fellowship-trained facial surgeon Dr. Kayva Crawford to address platysmal banding, loose neck skin, and submental fat. Techniques include platysmaplasty (muscle tightening), cervicoplasty (skin excision), and submental liposuction matched to individual anatomy. Results typically last 10–15 years. Often combined with facelift. A light compression garment is worn during healing.

Dr. Roy David performs the La Jolla Lift® — his proprietary extended deep-plane facelift technique — at his Sorrento Mesa practice in San Diego. The full procedure addresses gravitational descent of the lower face, jowls, and neck, while the mini La Jolla Lift® uses twilight sedation with no general anaesthesia and takes approximately 120 minutes, targeting patients with earlier-stage facial laxity. Both techniques reposition the underlying SMAS layer to restore a natural, rested appearance without a windswept look. The procedure was featured on the TV show The Doctors.

Deep plane facelift performed by fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kayva Crawford at Torrey Pines Plastic Surgery in Del Mar, San Diego. The deep plane technique dissects beneath the SMAS layer to release facial retaining ligaments, repositioning the mid-face and lower face at a deeper structural level than skin-tension or standard SMAS facelifts. Results are more durable and more natural-looking. Most patients return to social life within two to three weeks. Consultation required for pricing.

Dr. Karam's proprietary Vertical Restore is a deep-plane facelift that repositions the SMAS and underlying facial fat pads using a vertical lifting vector rather than a horizontal pull. It simultaneously addresses sagging cheeks, drooping brows, jowling, neck laxity, and lip elongation in a single operation performed under local anaesthesia with IV sedation. Recovery is approximately two weeks; travelling patients are advised to plan a 10–14 day post-operative stay in San Diego. Results are designed to remain stable for 10–15 years.
