Regeneris, a medical practice based in Westwood, Massachusetts, has announced the launch of Flexlift™, an innovative face and neck rejuvenation procedure developed by facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Edwin Ishoo. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia in an office setting, aims to provide dramatic results with minimal downtime, offering an alternative to traditional surgical facelifts.
Flexlift™ combines a face and neck lift into a single comprehensive procedure, addressing both surface and deeper facial structures. According to the press release, the technique uses a modified multi-plane lift and midface fat volumization approach, tailored to each individual's anatomy and aesthetic goals. By selectively releasing, elevating, and resuspending key facial retaining ligaments, the procedure restores underlying support structures without the extensive dissection associated with traditional facelifts. This approach aims to reduce swelling, bruising, and risk of nerve injury while preserving a natural appearance.
Dr. Ishoo, who has over 30 years of experience and has performed thousands of procedures, emphasized the importance of the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) in facial aging. “Flexlift™ is the next generation of facial rejuvenation,” he stated. “People are no longer looking for drastic changes, but rather to restore a younger version of themselves. This technique allows us to provide that in a safe, comfortable, office-based environment, enabling patients to return to their daily lives quickly.”
The procedure typically takes under two hours and can incorporate small-volume fat transfer from the patient's abdomen or inner thigh to restore midface volume. It is ideal for individuals in their 40s to 60s seeking correction of the mid-face, jawline, and neck. Recovery time is estimated at 10 to 14 days, compared to 3 to 4 weeks for standard facelifts, and results can last up to ten years depending on lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and smoking.
Flexlift™ offers several benefits, including hidden incisions, reduced need for multiple surgeries, and lower costs due to the avoidance of hospital operating room fees. The procedure can also be combined with other treatments like eyelid lifts or laser skin resurfacing. Dr. Ishoo noted, “The goal is not simply tightening the skin. Flexlift™ allows us to restore the underlying support structures and youthful proportions and contour of the face while tailoring the operation to the patient's anatomy and recovery timeline.”
The addition of Flexlift™ expands Regeneris' clinical offerings into facial plastic surgery, complementing its existing focus on regenerative medicine, aesthetic treatments, and advanced wellness care. Dr. Ishoo will lead the facial aesthetic procedures at the clinic. For more information, individuals can contact Regeneris in Westwood. The practice emphasizes that Flexlift™ represents a significant advance in office-based facial rejuvenation, providing a flexible and transformative alternative to traditional facelift surgery.
