While there are numerous medical professionals all over the United States, facial plastic surgeons are some of the most specialized individuals around. This isn’t to say that they are better than general plastic surgeons, but a vast number of qualifications and standards must be met to be considered a facial plastic surgeon.

Aside from being highly educated, both general and facial plastic surgeons must make it through rigorous residency programs. However, facial plastic surgeons’ residencies dedicate all their attention to one area: the face.

Being a facial surgeon is more than just about completing a procedure. There is unique meticulousness and attention to detail applied to give their patients beautiful results that appear natural to the naked eye.

You wouldn’t want a plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring procedures performing your facelift or rhinoplasty, would you?

Where Is Surgery Performed?

Skilled, qualified, and experienced surgeons perform in state-of-the-art practices or are allowed to perform in accredited hospitals to ensure patient safety and the effectiveness of the procedure.

The Consultation

When visiting a surgeon for a consultation about your facial procedure, don’t be afraid to ask any and all questions you might have. Be sure find out if the surgeon is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and if he or she regularly performs the procedure you want to undergo.

If you live in or near Denver, schedule a consultation with Dr. Edmon Khoury by calling (720) 475-8400 or filling out our online contact form today. We look forward to hearing from you soon and are dedicated to providing you with results you can feel confident about.

SmartLift™ in Denver, CO

Have you noticed the signs of aging in your face are becoming more apparent? If so, you’re not alone. Various factors, including sun exposure, stress, and gravity, adversely affect the condition of your skin as you get older. As we age, fine lines and wrinkles worsen to form deep creases, and our skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag, which often causes many to lose their self-confidence.

Traditionally, many choose to undergo a facelift or mini-facelift to eliminate these signs of aging and restore a more youthful facial appearance. However, these procedures are invasive and usually require general anesthesia and a longer recovery time.

Advancements in both technology and techniques have given us the ability to perform these traditionally invasive procedures in a less invasive way, including the SmartLift™.

The SmartLift™ is one of the most effective treatments to reverse the signs of aging, and Dr. Khoury is one of only a handful of surgeons in the United States performing this technique.

Benefits of the SmartLift™

The SmartLift™ procedure can address and improve many of problems associated with facial aging. Some of the benefits of the SmartLift™ include:

• Removes excess fat underneath the chin
• Reduces wrinkles and folds in the neck
• Eliminates jowls
• Improves marionette lines
• Stimulates the production of collagen
• Tightens the skin
• Same benefits as any traditional facelift

Advantages of the SmartLift™

Besides providing long-lasting results, the SmartLift™ offers the following advantages over traditional facelift surgery:

• Less invasive
• Shorter operation time
• Increased safety with local anesthesia, but it can be performed under general anesthesia as well
• Less discomfort during and after treatment
• Less bruising and swelling
• Faster healing and recovery
• Fewer complications

How the SmartLift™ Is Performed

The SmartLift™ procedure is performed by inserting the Smartlipo™ laser beneath the skin to function as a very precise heated scissor. The heat from the laser also tightens the skin to stimulate the production of collagen, revealing a smoother, more defined, and younger-looking facial appearance.

If you want to achieve a more youthful appearance facial appearance without the consequences that invasive surgical procedures leave behind, we encourage you to contact our Denver practice today. Certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Edmon Khoury has years of experience performing facial plastic surgery procedures, including the SmartLift™ procedure.

How to Have Safe and Effective Eyelid Surgery

Choosing to have cosmetic surgery around your eyes is a very important decision. The eyes are “the windows to the soul,” the first place others look when they speak to you, and one of the main areas where we express emotion. Even with minor adjustments, the eyelid lift can completely change the way you look, and it can affect the way you see the world around you. With this in mind, it is important to choose an expert eyelid lift surgeon for your procedure.

1. Credentials

Did you know that any person with a medical degree and a state license can legally perform plastic surgery? This is why we hear so many horror stories in the media about botched procedures. Many men and women choose less experienced “surgeons” in hopes of saving money, but they end up paying much more than they bargained for with their botched results.

When choosing a surgeon to perform your eyelid lift, it is important to choose a surgeon that is board certified. Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) indicates that a surgeon has broad knowledge of how to perform all cosmetic surgeries. It ensures that the surgeon’s skills have been evaluated and reviewed extensively and that several years of training have been completed. This should be a minimum requirement when considering a surgeon. Dr. Khoury has surpassed this level of training with specialized double board certification by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology. These credentials guarantee that Dr. Khoury has focused the majority of his training on surgeries of the face, head, and neck and that he has met all the training and testing requirements set by these prestigious boards.

2. Experience

When it comes to choosing a qualified plastic surgeon, experience is important. You should evaluate the surgeon’s years in practice as well as the number of eyelid lift surgeries he or she has performed. During a consultation, you can ask to see the surgeon’s before and after photos to help validate their experience and skill and to get an idea of the results you can expect. Dr. Khoury has performed thousands of eyelid lift procedures over his many years in practice in Colorado and Dubai. He is dedicated to continued education in the field of facial plastic surgery and remains current with the latest technology and techniques for every procedure he performs.

3. Reputation

A good indicator of an expert plastic surgeon is their reputation among their peers and patients. A surgeon who gives frequent lectures to other surgeons, teaches at a university, or is published in peer-reviewed journals is more than likely an expert in his or her field. Dr. Khoury was selected as a surgical trainer for the Lifestyle Lift, a medical group that performs the largest number of facial rejuvenation procedures in the country. Dr. Khoury regularly attends conferences and delivers lectures and training to his peers. He is also highly esteemed by many of his satisfied patients, which is evident on various online reviews like HealthGrades and RateMDs.

Questions to Ask During a Consultation

In summary, here are a few questions you should ask when looking for an expert eyelid lift surgeon:

1. Are you board certified by the ABPS?
2. Do you specialize in the eyelid lift procedure?
3. How many eyelid lift surgeries have you performed?
4. Do you have recent before and after photos I can see?
5. Do you teach other surgeons or give lectures on certain techniques?
6. How do you stay current with the latest technology and techniques?

If you are interested in the eyelid lift procedure in either Colorado or Dubai, please schedule a consultation with expert eyelid surgeon Dr. Edmon P. Khoury. Please call (720) 475-8400 or fill out our online contact form today.

Have you been wondering if there is a procedure to lift, tighten and improve the look of a
droopy and loose neck? You may be a candidate for a tightening method called a necklift
to address the issue of wrinkles under your neck, an area of the body that is often the
first to loosen and sag. Typically performed in conjunction with a facelift, a necklift can
deliver that added youthful boost or can be easily performed as a standalone surgery.

A necklift will result in a dramatic reduction of wrinkles under the neck, sagging skin,
a turkey waddle or can even reduce full or heavy necks. A quick surgery, with a short
recovery time, a necklift is performed through tiny incisions behind the ears and under
the chin. For an experienced and renowned surgeon who has performed countless
necklifts, call Denver Cosmetic Surgery today for an initial consultation with Dr. Edmon
P. Khoury, Denver’s most sought after and distinguished plastic surgeon.

SmartLifting™

Denver’s Laser Assisted Facelifts

We are excited to announce that Denver Cosmetic Surgery is the only center in the West to be performing laser assisted facelifts – SmartLifting™. Dr. Khoury is one of only 5 surgeons in the country performing these procedures. He will also be one of the national and international instructors training new surgeons on this revolutionary new technique.

SmartLifting was discovered by Dr. Richard Gentile in Ohio a few years ago. He applied the laser from a Smart Liposuction machine to the undersurface of the facial skin through a small incision less than 1cm. Prior to that, the laser was being utilized in the neck with great success, but not on the face. Dr. Gentile, a friend and colleague of Dr. Khoury has since refined the technique to allow the laser to assist in face lift procedures. This is the first major technological advancement in facelifts for over 20 years. It allows for shorter operating time, less bruising and swelling, increased safety, less complications, quick recovery, and greater skin tightening.

SmartLifting is not to be confused with the trade named minilifts that exist today, such as Quicklift, Lifestyle Lift or the Lunch Time Lift. SmartLifting is a totally different technique that can be applied in several ways, but all have one common principle, utilizing the Smartlipo Laser (made by Cynosure) to the under surface of the skin. This is the opposite of what we are used to doing, applying the laser to the surface of the skin. The four major applications include:

Laser Facial Sculpting™: This is the most minimal invasive application. It essentially applies the laser under the skin of the face with targeted liposuction. This is performed through 2-3 small 1cm incisions.

SmartLook™: Is the inside/outside use of laser. The laser is used, as in laser facial sculpting, under the skin, then followed by surface laser resurfacing with a fractional carbon dioxide laser.

UltraMiniLift™: This is a mini face lift performed with the laser. The major advantage over a non laser assisted minilift is the greater degree of skin tightening long term.

Laser SmartLift™: This is a laser assisted facelift that offers a full facelift result, but within the least invasive setting.

If you are interested in finding out more about SmartLifting, visit our website DenverCosmeticSurgery.Com or call for a complimentary consult with Dr. Khoury. He will explain and present in detail the benefits of this new technique.
