Mini-Facelift procedure – New Technique By Dr Tobias Pincock

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

In the past there has been several types of Facelift. On one end of the spectrum min-lift procedures that offered minimal downtime and great results that just did not deliver the results that patients wanted. On the other end of the spectrum deep-plane facelifts are very good for results particularly for heavily jowled and heavy necks but the downtime is high (6 to 8 weeks). I am performing a combination lift that takes the best parts of the deep plane facelift with other types of facelifts to provide a long lasting result with minimal downtime.

Deep Plane Facelift in Sydney

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

Sometimes the terms of facelift are difficult for the patient seeking a face-lift of other ageing face procedure to understand. Many poorly trained surgeons will advocate only one type of procedure as a cure all for all types of people. This just is simply not possible. There is no way for example a short scar face lift or MACS lift is going to be suitable for a very heavily jowled turkey neck type patient.

This is why it is important to see a specialist, I get a huge amount of calls from people seeking a price on a thread lift, S-lift, MACS lift without having seen anyone and when I actually see them often they either a) don’t need a surgical procedure or b) the procedure they thought they needed is not the correct one.

This is an example of a Deep Plane Facelift I did for a lady who had had significant weight loss and needed a true deep plane facelift with neck lift

Deep Plane Facelift

Rowena Wallace - Non surgical Facelift

This patient needed a deep plane facelift and this is her result only 6-8 weeks post surgery. Other types of patients will not require a deep plane facelift and may only require a short scar neck lift or eye lifting procedure, this is the case with Rowena Wallace whom I performed a non-surgical facelift, minimal scar necklift and blepharoplasty on (see below)

Blepharoplasty Eyelift Eyelid Surgery in Sydney

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Blepharoplasty is one of the most powerful procedures in the armamentarium of a facial plastic surgeon to combat ageing and rejuvenate the mid-third of the face. As we age the fat that normally cushions the eyeball can herniate out giving bags under the eyes or puffy appearing eyes – this makes one look older and tired. A similar process occurs to the upper eyelid skin causing excess laxity and drooping of the eyelid.

Most people are concerned that an eyelift will make them look strange or have a “done” appearance. The newer techniques of blepharoplasty (eyelift) that Dr Pincock has learned in the United States allows him to achieve a natural appearing result without visible scarring. http://www.sydneyfacialplastics.com.au/surgeon.html

History of Plastic and Facial Plastic Surgery

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Most Ancient Plastic Surgery involved nasal surgery in India, British surgeons travelled to India to learn the techniques and adapted these for cosmetic rhinoplasty in the 1800’s.

In World War one, a New Zealand otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon)working in London, Harold Gillies developed many of the techniques of modern facial plastic surgery in treating  soldiers suffering from disfiguring facial injuries. His work was expanded upon during WWII by his cousin and former student Archibald McIndo, who modified earlier techniques to treat pilots severe lacerations and facial burns. For more detailed information click here: http://www.abfprs.org/about/h_father.cfm

So from its humble beginnings of a subspecialty of Ear, Nose and Throat. Plastic Surgical techniques were improved and applied to other parts of the body to eventually form its own specialty (Plastic Surgery). The art of facial plastic surgery was retained by the specialty of Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery and is part of its core curriculum. Facial Plastic Surgery was retained by the specialty of Ear, Nose and Throat with surgeons performing cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty and large reconstructions for tumours and skin cancers. for more detailed information please click here: http://www.abfprs.org/about/h_fps_organizes.cfm

 In the USA in the 1970’s and 1980’s an Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon by the name of  Jack Anderson sought out and refined facelifting techniques, teaching them to a new breed of Facial Plastic Surgeons who were only interested in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the head, neck and face.  http://www.abfprs.org/about/h_education.cfm Much to the disdain of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) http://www.abfprs.org/about/h_ps_organizes.cfm , this led to some fairly public spats between Jack Anderson and the ASPS with one member writing a derogatory comment about him in an article. This led to a lawsuit which was eventually won by Jack Anderson when the judge declared that his training in facial plastic surgery was superior to that of ASPS and was personally awarded close to 2 million dollars in the 1980’s, a huge sum of money. This money was donated to create the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. http://www.abfprs.org/about/history20.cfm

Dr Pincock is proud to be part of this history, His fellowship director in the USA was Dr Wayne Larrabee a past president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and who himself was trained by the great Jack Anderson. http://www.sydneyfacialplastics.com.au/surgeon.html

Cheek Implants

Monday, February 1st, 2010

As we age the normal cheek volume descends downwards producing two classic characteristics of ageing.

Firstly the loss of normal cheekbone volume and definition and secondly deeper nasolabial folds

this can be addressed temporarily by fillers – in particular the new voluma from the juvederm range

http://www.sydneyfacialplastics.com.au/injectables.html

for a permanent result patients may opt for cheek implants, these are similar to chin implants but are designed to sit over the cheekbone giving a more prominent cheekbone. They are inserted through a tiny incision on the inside of the cheek and give an amazing result.

Blepharoplasty-Eyelift-Eyelid Surgery

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Blepharoplasty is a fantastic way to rejuvenate the face. Over the years the fat pad that the eyeball sits on to cushion it in the skull can herniate out from under the eye causing a puffy appearance or bags on the lower eyelid. On the upper eyelid skin can hang down making a person look tired and even obstruct vision.

http://www.sydneyfacialplastics.com.au/cosmetic.html#blepharoplasty

Upper and lower blepharoplasty can be undertaken at the same time and in combination with other procedures, it is a very powerful technique to rejuvenate the face and turn back the clock.

Dr Pincock offers the latest techniques in this surgery that he learned overseas and has brought to Sydney. For more information see this website
