Facelift Bellevue | Face Lift Seattle Page added by Dr. Philip Young of Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery:
We added a page to discuss what a facelift does and how to make sense of all the lifts that are advertised out there in the media. You can visit this page at any time: Facelift Bellevue. Essentially, all the lifts such as quick lift, lifestyle lift, s lift, smas lift, deep plane lift, mini lift, traditional face lift, etc are a variation of the basic facelift that we discuss on this page. The facelift entails making an incision in front and behind the ear to pull the face and neck up for facial rejuvenation. The incision in front is mainly for a facelift, while the incision that extends behind the ear is for a neck lift. Everything else in the face can benefit from fillers | fat injections or The YoungVitalizer . This is our flow chart which you can click to enlarge:

In general what this explains is that for you face you should first consider the YoungVitalizer which is less invasive. Even before this you can consider fillers with the knowledge that the fillers last 6 months to a year at most. After doing less invasive procedures you can move on to more traditional procedures if needed. If jowls are your main issue a facelift would be ideal. If the neck is your concern, a necklift would be the best option.
What the page will go into is also the idea is bringing more light back to the face. We talk about the aging process on this page and how the changing of the grape to a raisin makes the tissues draw or move inward and downward. This movement effectively causes a shadow to be cast over the face by the structures above them. For example the brows start to cover the upper eyelid. For the lower eyelids, the eyes and brows start to cover the lower eyelids and cheeks. For the nasolabial folds, it is the cheeks that start to cover the folds and make them look deeper. For the marionette lines, the lower cheek and mouth help to create more shadowing in the marionette area, etc, etc.
The YoungVitalizer and its future in facial rejuvenation by Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue | Seattle: The YoungVitalizer is an exciting new alternative to facial rejuvenation. Our goals with this technique was to find a procedure that resulted in a more natural appearance. We desired a technique that was less invasive than traditional procedures. One that required less anesthesia and was safer without the complications that you get with traditional methods and older ideas. The YoungVitalizer satisfies all of these desires. The YoungVitalizer is the breakthrough Incision Less Face Lift. There is no requirement of any facial incisions. We use injections to volumize your face in a natural way.
One of the things you might be wondering is whether The YoungVitalizer is going to make your face fat and bigger when adding volume is brought into the picture or discussed. A volume loss is a big part of the aging process. What happens when you lose volume, you face draws or moves inward and also downward. With this inward movement, your tissues are moving more toward the center part of your head face area. Notice how this area is a lot bigger than the face part. This is why your face ends up looking bigger when you lose volume. I explain this in a video or segment on new day northwest here: Dr. Philip Young on New Day Northwest Explains the YoungVitalizer. Through adding volume, you can actually make the face look smaller. Take a look at the before and after picture below and notice how the face looks smaller after adding volume!!

Plastic Surgery Testimonial of Karen Owner of the Northwest Women’s Show for Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue | Seattle: We feel really privileged to have such a special patient such as Karen the Owner of the Northwest Women’s Show. She was nice enough to give us a video testimonial that you can see with this link: Plastic Surgery Testimonial Seattle | Bellevue. She has been a patient of ours for that past 6 years. We are planning on doing the YoungVitalizer for her in the near future.
Minimally Invasive Facial Plastic Surgery – The YoungVitalizer by Dr. Philip Young of Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery in Bellevue: We are starting a new blog category called Minimally Invasive Facial Plastic Surgery. With this subject we would like to talk about the YoungVitalizer the minimally invasive approach to facial rejuvenation. Most of the time when you think about minimally invasive appraoches you think that you might be getting something that is less effective. The purpose of this blog is to say that this is not always true. In fact, when we talk about the YoungVitalizer, is that we think this approach is an improvement to facial rejuvenation over face lifts, mid face lifts, cheek lifts, etc. We think the results you can get with the YoungVitalizer is much better than traditional approaches like face lifting etc. The downtime is much better in many ways, there are no incisions in the face that are needed with the YoungVitalizer, General Anesthesia is not required, discomfort is way less with the YoungVitalizer when compared to facelifts, etc. and other traditional procedures. How is that. Well it has to do with the way that we age. Aging is effected mainly through a volume loss. The YoungVitalizer replaces this loss and shapes your face in a natural way, the way that you aged. This is the reason why the results are better than traditional procedures.
Here is a video of Dr. Young explaining the YoungVitalizer on New Day Northwest:
Healing your body and mind by Dr. Philip Young of Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery: Once you have the procedure you waited a long time for, it is time to be patient and wait, again, for your body to heal. Unfortunately, a surgeon’s scalpel is not a magic wand and healing will occur at different rates for different people. You must allow yourself to heal and be aware it is natural to be impatient for the results and a little anxious because you often look worse before you look better. Being aware this can happen will help you understand these normal feelings.
Sharing your experience with friends and family can help give you a support system during your recovery, but realize they may unintentionally make you question your decision with concerns during your recovery. While you may think that you are looking pretty rough around the edges, we may tell you that you are healing beautifully. Trust us. We will share with you if there is a concern, so if we tell you that everything is healing normally, it is.
Your healing will depend on many things such as your general health, your willingness to follow instructions, and your mental attitude toward recovery. While I can perform the surgery, I cannot “heal” you. It is up to you to be an active participant in your recovery process to help your body heal the best that it can. Following all of our instruction is very important, as is working with us to address any complications that may arise. Even surgeries that are done exactly right can have complications during recovery. It has to do with the human factor. We are not machines and every person can react differently and heal differently even when the surgery is done exactly the same. Every surgeon has unexpected results from time to time.
It is important you approach your surgery and especially your recovery with the mindset that we are a team, and you are an integral part of that team. We must trust each other to be working for a common goal, your successful result. As the surgeon, I enjoy my work and strive to achieve an ideal result during every surgery for every patient. I have rigorous standards that my staff must meet in order to be involved in your care. I am looking forward to working with you to achieve a great result and do not anticipate any post-operative problems. I will do everything I can to make sure that you are happy with your result.
The YoungVitalizer and its future in facial rejuvenation by Dr. Philip Young MD: This blog is to discuss why we think the YoungVitalizer will play a huge part in facial rejuvenation in the future. Here is an example of a patient who received the YoungVolumizer. This will help in the reading below:
When Dr. Young was training in Los Angeles, he noticed how the most famous and wealthy people were looking odd after facial plastic surgery. Now if the people in the know and the people with all the resources in the world were getting odd results, what would it be like for the average person. I would say not likely much better. Dr. Young tried to find out why. Through his search he discovered that some of the most basic things in plastic surgery needed some improvement. At the core of this was our blue prints for our goals in plastic surgery. Facial beauty and the knowledge of what makes a face beautiful is like an architectural plan is to a builder. Dr. Young found that our ideas on facial beauty were incorrect and flawed. Even today in 2011, our most dominant theories on facial beauty is based on Leonardo da Vinci’s theories of Facial Beauty that were founded back in the 1400’s. Recently, we have shown that these theories were incorrect. So plastic surgeons never really knew what made a face beautiful or not. Dr. Young thought that this was a serious fact that we needed changing immediately. He then went on a journey to find out just what made a face beautiful or not. During those years of research he discovered his theory on facial beauty called the Circles of Prominence. Also during this time of about 8-10 years, Dr. Young was also discovering the benefits of facial rejuvenation through volumizing of the face. The culmination of the two lead to the YoungVolumizer, the breakthrough incision less face lift. This may sound too good to be true so you can find out more about this procedure on our website youngvitalizer.com. But, this procedure, has made a difference in many people’s lives and you can read about our testimonials for the YoungVitalizer.
Why is this procedure so important? Well it all has to do with how we age. Ideally, it is most advantageous to reverse aging in the exact order that use to get the person where they are at in the current moment. If you try to reverse aging in a different order you get unnatural results. This is what happened in the past with traditional procedures. A large part of aging is from a volume loss. This face contracted in and down. The goal of volumizing is making the face younger by directing it up and out. Most traditional procedures tended to make the face up, backward and more inward. It brought the face nowwhere near the point that it used to be. That lead to the pulled, tight and unnatural look. You can Learn more about the YoungVitalizer here.
Notice in the above picture, how we have made the face amazingly smaller as well. We did this by adding a lot of volume. How did we do that? Well that is our secret. You can find out more by coming into to discuss your needs through a consultation if you would like. We hope that this article will give you some hope on making your face look more rejuvenated. We are confident that we can achieve many of your facial rejuvenation goals and we look forward to talking with you in the near future.
Benefits of Plastic Surgery by Dr. Young of Seattle | Bellevue:
I recently came across this positive article regarding the benefits of plastic surgery. Often plastic surgery is looked at in a negative way but who are we to tell someone they cannot be happy with the way they look.
Plastic surgery is currently experiencing unprecedented popularity with continuing advancements of technologies for the diverse array of procedures. This has inevitably led to superior results with reduced complications and side effects, leading to a higher degree of customer satisfaction. Consequently more and more people are feeling the immense benefits from improving their image through plastic surgery.
Unique Prerequisites
Whether a person opts to have plastic surgery on their face, hips, breasts or thighs the aim is to sculpt the body in a way that looks natural, the physical and external benefits of plastic surgery can be multi-faceted. Surgeons aim to correct this by taking each individual’s body into consideration before deciding on a desired result.
Many find that they are more outgoing, personable and confident when they become accustomed to their transformation and this heightened sense of self-esteem can be a benefit that lasts a lifetime.
The first thing that many people notice after plastic surgery is that their bodies seem more proportional or balanced. Often a nose may appear too large for a particular person’s face, or a bust that is too large or too small can blur all an individual’s other features making them seem disproportionate.
Rejuvenation
Aging and sun-exposure can also takes it toll on men and women, sometimes making an individual seem older than they actually are. Facial rejuvenation procedures like facelift, facial implants, dermabrasion, chemical peels, and Botox injections can restore your once youthful appearance, and replenishing your vitality.

Synergies
The wonderful thing about plastic surgery is that the direct benefit is external, but more importantly it will greatly improve your external condition – your inner beauty will be magnified with your newfound self-esteem, confidence and assurance.
Water Ripple Effects
The physical result of plastic surgery produces a healthier look and the ramifications are immense, as this healthy look will often permeate to the patient’s entire lifestyle. People who have surgeries like liposuction and breast reduction usually feel more comfortable in their clothes, that their new bodies allow them to participate in physical activities that they wouldn’t have considered before surgery. Plastic surgery can open new doors to people who have previously lived their lives sheltered. They find themselves participating in activities they never would have in the past such as swimming or aerobics, due to their renewed confidence.
The wonderful thing about plastic surgery is that the direct benefit is external, but more importantly it will greatly improve your external condition – your inner beauty will be magnified with your newfound self-esteem, confidence and assurance.
Heightened Sense Of Self-Esteem That Lasts A Lifetime
Whether a person chooses to undergo plastic surgery to improve their lifestyle or to improve their look, there will always be emotional benefits when a person is finally able to feel comfortable in their body. Many people find that they are more outgoing, personable and confident when they become accustomed to their transformation and this heightened sense of self-esteem can be a benefit that lasts a lifetime.
The YoungVitalizer can be a substitute for many traditional procedures like a face lift, mid face lift / cheek lift, lip augmentation, eye lift, etc by Dr. Philip Young Seattle. The YoungVitalizer can be a substitute for many traditional procedures like a face lift, mid face lift / cheek lift, lip augmentation, eye lift, etcWhy is that? Well a big part of the aging process is a volume loss and if you had a way to replace the volume in the face, doing so in special areas can make you look incredibly younger. It is our secret on how to do this. But there are ways to volumize the eyes, forehead, temple, lower eyes, cheeks and mouth area to substitute and replace face lifts, mid face lifts / cheek lifts, upper eyelifts, lower eyelifts, cheek implants, jaw implants, chin implants, brow lifts, temple lifts, etc with the YoungVitalizer. That is why we call the YoungVitalizer, the Breakthrough Incision Less Face Lift. The idea of cutting away tissue is becoming an older idea. Cutting away changes the face. The only situation that cutting away tissue can come into play is if your face changed dramatically since when you were younger. Aging is like a grape changing into a raisin. Traditional procedures tended to make that raisin into a smaller raisin. This action and process would make the raisin contorted. Because now you are trying to shape the raisin into a smaller volume. Some of the skin of the raisin will just not conform to the smaller volume you now have because you lost it from the transformation from a grape to a raisin. Replacing this volume will play a huge part in making the raisin back into the grape again. See this introduction video to the YoungVitalizer.
We are excited to release our new website www.theyoungvitalizer.com by Dr. Young Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon. The Young Vitalizer is a Breakthrough Incision Less Face Lift. This minimally invasive procedure can rejuvenate your face in a natural way making you look up to and sometimes more than 10 years younger. It can be a minimally invasive substitute for a mid face lift, face lift, cheek implants, facial implants, lip augmentation, brow lift, eye lift upper / lower, etc. You can learn more about the YoungVitalizer with this introductory video, An Introduction to the YoungVitalizer. The YoungVitalizer was founded by me because I discovered some important things when I was training in Los Angeles under the tutelage of very famous plastic surgeons including Paul Nassif, Mark Berman, Stephen Pincus, etc. What I was noticing among the stars was that these people with access and all the money and fame in the world were still looking strange after plastic surgery. In my mind, there had to be something wrong with this picture. So I sought out to find out why. This idea ultimately culminated in me discovering my theory on facial beauty called the Circles of Prominence. This theory was the foundation of improving facial aesthetics and it is the source of energy and ideas that have developed our technique, The YoungVitalizer. If you watch your video on the Introduction it will expand your mind. You can also learn more on our sister website www.drphilipyoung.com and look under our philosophy page to read about Dr. Young’s theory.
I have been so busy that I haven’t been able to blog very much lately. But I’m resuming this as a new goal. Write me anytime at any of our website’s contact pages:
Residual neck bands and neck skin by Dr. Young of Bellevue: A Neck lift will help the banding your neck, but additional fat grafting / transer could also be needed in the future. This basic suggestion / opinion is from knowledge gained from doing nearly 1300 face and necklifts. I don’t think a face lift revision will lead to a complete resolution to your issues unless you definitely approach the neck area with a neck lift. In my opinion, these are two different techniques (the face and neck lift). The neck lift will markedly improve the neck bands and then after this you may still need to graft fat. Based on the images, the neck probably is in need of some fat in some areas. But I would wait to see how the neck lift improves your current status. You may not need fat grafting at all. Only time will tell. You may also want to look at our new procedure called the YoungVitalizer.
