(Answer at the end of this blog!)
At Orange County Plastic Surgery, many of our patients know us best for the teamwork we bring to the operating room. Dr. Juris Bunkis, in my view the best facelift surgeon in the Newport Beach area, and I frequently do longer and more complicated procedures together. This is certainly true with facial rejuvenation if significantly microfat grafting is anticipated. With over 40 years of experience each, we have found that some of the most natural, long-lasting results come from combining techniques—and often, combining our own talents as surgeons.
Dr. Bunkis focuses on his signature A to V Natural Facelift, restoring the natural contours of the face and neck with precision and artistry. At the same time, I work my magic with microfat grafting, a procedure that restores the volume and softness we all lose with age. Together, we frequently share additional procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lifts, chin augmentations, or rhinoplasties.
Why add fat grafting to a facelift? While facelifts reposition sagging tissues, they do not replace the volume lost over time. Microfat grafting fills in hollow cheeks, temples, and brows, softening sharp lines and adding youthful fullness. We can even treat the back of the hands at the same sitting, giving patients a more complete rejuvenation.
