Neck-lift cosmetic surgery using iGuide

The iGuide allows for the placement of a suture support system through a series of needle punctures. )See plastic surgery images below). Instead of cutting and repositioning muscles, plastic surgeon, Dr Michael J Brown, MD, weaves the suture underneath the jaw line with one continuous thread. The iGuide has FDA clearance, for soft tissue approximation and elevation of sub-dermis and underlying muscle. It delivers results which match those of traditional, invasive necklift plastic surgery, while reducing side effects of cosmetic surgery such as swelling, bruising and the risk of nerve and muscle damage, and decreases recovery times. The iGuide can be used to oversew the muscles of the neck, or elevate the brow using the patented instrument system, with minimal incisions. In properly selected patients iGuide provides a technique to improve the neck and jawline with minimal incisions as compared to traditional techniques?with minimal swelling, bruising, and scarring.

Recovery times with iGuide are short. Generally, patients are able to return to work within a few days and can resume physical exercise in a week or two. Dr Brown will be able to give you a better understanding of how short your recovery time will be during your plastic surgery consultation and examination.
