Three Procedures To Refresh Your Face 

We all would like to age gracefully. As we age the use of fillers alone can not continue achieve 

the youthful results desired and the treatment recommendation of a full facelift is not appropriate  So, Are there other procedures that can be considered?  YES!, There are three procedures the could be right for you: 

  

Mid FaceLift 

Over time, gravity begins to take its toll on the face, causing cheeks and eyelids to sag.  This can create 

a haggard, worn out, or tired look. A mid facelift can restore a smooth, youthful look to the lower 

eyelids, area around the nose, corners of the mouth and the cheeks. This type of lift is 

particularly effective for patients seeking a lift in the face from the lower eyelids and to just 

above the chin. This procedure is best performed with general anesthesia. 

  

Mini Facelift 

Tightening only the lower area of the face (jowls, chin), a mini facelift may be the best choice. 

The procedure itself is shorter and less invasive than a full lift. In a mini facelift procedure 

incisions are placed in front and behind the ear and the skin is tightened by removing the excess. 

The procedure is treat moderate skin laxity and may be performed with local anesthesia and oral 

sedation or general anesthesia.   

  

Neck Lift 

A neck lift is performed by removing excess skin in the area of the neck, under the chin 

(sometimes referred to as turkey neck or turkey wattle), altering neck muscles and/or liposuction 

to remove excess fat. These procedures lift and tighten the area of the face and neck right below 

the chin. The procedure is best performed with local anesthesia and oral sedation or general 

anesthesia.

She cares. From our first consultation, I knew she was not a doctor who would be passive with me. I had a lot of questions during the consultation. She was honest and straightforward.I needed the complete truth about my situation and that's what she gave me.The day of my first procedure (I had 3), she spent several minutes with me to make sure I was ok.When things got tough mentally tough for me, she was there. My family was extremely happy, because she showed compassion with me and them.When I received more bad news months later. I knew she would there to get us through it again, together.This is a partnership even today.Thank you Dr. Kumbla.

Dr. Kumbla is the best. She has a direct and honest communication style and is an incredibly talented surgeon. I had an unexpected post-surgery complication that she literally held my hand through - staying in touch with me night and day, 7 days a week. I cannot recommend her enough.

Dr. Kumbla is absolutely fantastic! From my very first appointment, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and confident in my decision. She took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I knew exactly what to expect throughout the entire process.My breast reduction has genuinely been life-changing. My back pain has improved, I can breathe more comfortably, and I finally feel at home in my body again. I’m also incredibly happy with my results..they look beautiful and natural, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations.Dr. Kumbla is not only an extremely talented surgeon, but she is also compassionate, patient, and truly cares about her patients. I’m so grateful I chose her and would recommend her without hesitation!
