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.

The office staff, nurses, and Dr.Song do an amazing job! I’m four weeks post-op from a breast reduction and lift, and I’m healing nicely! Very thrilled with the results and the care I have received. If you’re debating on whether you should do a breast reduction, my advice is don’t wait any longer. The Prima center is amazing. Recovery isn’t easy, but manageable & your life will be changed for the better! Take the risk! It’s so worth it!! (:

I had an explant done March 2026 due to complications with implants and I absolutely love my natural breast! Dr. Song was hands on about my needs and wants and I look better now than I did with implants! I highly recommend Dr.Song for this procedure and any other needs pertaining to breasts!!

Gary is the absolute BEST! I have been his patient for years now and I love love love the results I get from him every time. He gives the most natural look ever (which is what I want). He never oversells me on anything; he just shoots me straight. On top of that, he always checks in on me after anything he does. And I can text him any time with a question - he always gets right back to me. He started out being my go to for all things aesthetic, but has since become a friend. I rarely fill out these reviews but Gary is really exceptional!
