COMBINATION TREATMENTS = CREATING THE BEST RESULTS IN THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME
Restoring volume in your face is one of the most effective and natural ways to look younger and more vibrant. Restylane and Juvederm treatments are a quick and effective way to give your face instant volume - smoothing out deeper lines and folds, and plumping lips for a youthful smile. The positive effects of Restylane and Juvederm are even more dramatic when used in combination with the smoothing effects of Botox. Botox not only smoothes fine lines and wrinkles - it also prevents new lines and wrinkles from forming! Both treatments can be performed in less than 15 minutes and typically do not require any downtime. Worried about facial skin laxity? Add Thermage to your treatment plan for a non-surgical face lift! Be proactive in maintaining your skin - call us for a complimentary consultation to see what combination treatments can do for you. You will be amazed by the results!

FAT INJECTIONS TO THE FACE
One of the best ways to help reverse the signs of aging is to add body fat to the face! Using gentle techniques, Dr. Naficy removes fat from the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. Your own fat is then injected into the face to fill in wrinkles, correct nasolabial folds, or to plump lips. The greatest advantage of fat over Sculptra or Restylane is that it is 100% natural.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty (also known as cosmetic eyelid surgery or eyelift) is one of the most commonly performed procedures in plastic surgery. Dr. Naficy has performed thousands of cosmetic eyelid procedures and is experienced in all techniques of blepharoplasty, including a method that does not use external incisions (transconjunctival blepharoplasty) laser blepharoplasty, fat preservation, and revision blepharoplasty.
With his practice being 100% limited to facial plastic surgery, you can be assured that Dr. Naficy will offer you the best specialized plastic surgery available today. This is why Seattle doctors voted Dr. Naficy one of the top plastic surgeons for the face. Dr. Naficy draws his patient base not only from Seattle area, but also from Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California, and as far away as New York City.
How do the eyes age?
The eyes are usually the first place to show signs of aging. Over time, the upper eyelids can develop folds of loose skin that give the eyes a heavy and tired look. Droopy upper eyelids can also make it difficult to wear eye make-up. Lower eyelids can also appear droopy or baggy, giving a tired, sometimes sad look to the face. Finally, because the skin of the eyelids is very thin, it is quite prone to developing many fine wrinkles.
What can blepharoplasty achieve?
After cosmetic eyelid surgery, the eyes appear more rested and vibrant. The results can be so natural that friends and co-workers will often comment on how great you look, but may not realize that surgery was performed. The incisions lie in natural creases of the eyelid and usually heal extremely fast. Like all cosmetic surgery procedures, a great result is both in what you see and what you don't see. Dr. Naficy uses state of the art laser technology that produces remarkable results with rapid healing and minimal down-time.

What other procedures can be combined with blepharoplasty?
A number of other cosmetic procedures may be safely performed at the same time as blepharoplasty. These include laser resurfacing, cheek lift, face and neck lift, rhinoplasty, and neck liposuction.
What type of anesthesia is used?
We use "twilight anesthesia" which is a new and innovative method of anesthesia for facial plastic surgery. Twilight anesthesia is extremely safe compared to the standard general anesthesia techniques used today. The main advantages of twilight anesthesia are: (i) it does not require putting a breathing tube in the throat, (ii) it does not require a breathing machine, (iii) the recovery is much faster, (iv) there is much less "hang-over" from anesthesia, (v) and there is much less nausea. All these elements translate into greater comfort and safety. Dr. Naficy has used this technique of anesthesia in several thousand plastic surgery procedures without any anesthetic complications.
During twilight anesthesia a small flexible IV (intravenous) needle is placed into one of the veins of the back of the hand. Through this IV line, relaxing medication is given to make you fall sleep. The amount of medication given is adjusted to the specific needs of each person. After you are sleeping, some numbing medicine is also placed in the skin to numb the area that is being operated on. The beauty of twilight anesthesia is that during the procedure you are unaware of anything going on and cannot hear anything, yet you are still breathing on your own.
When the procedure is finished, the relaxing medication is discontinued and you begin to wake up. Because the medications used in twilight anesthesia clear the system rather quickly, most of our patients are able to go home in less than 15 minutes after the procedure is completed.

What is the recovery like?
There is minimal eye discomfort after the procedure, similar to having an irritated eye from allergies. Some swelling and discoloration may develop around the eyes for a few days. With make-up, most of our patients can return to work or social activities in one week.

I am interested! What do I do next?
If you are considering this procedure we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Naficy. During this visit he will listen to your concerns and discuss your options. He will tell you whether you are a suitable candidate for this procedure and inform you of the potential risks of the procedure. There is a great variety in eyelid shapes and features and each procedure must be custom tailored for the patient to get the best possible result. You will also have a chance to view before and after photo albums of his patients who have undergone procedures similar to what you are considering.
