Visalyft

Request A Consultation

About Visalyft

The Visalyft is an all-in-one facial rejuvenation procedure. After consultation with Dr Esmail, he will determine what is required to help you turn back the clock and look 10 years younger. The Visalyft will often combine multiple procedures and often includes Dr. Esmail’s signature deep facelift, upper and lower eyelift, lip lift,  fat grafting and skin resurfacing. Using an advanced deep plane release, Dr. Esmail is able to more comprehensively and naturally rejuvenate the face. When using the appropriate techniques, even the most amazing and significant results can look natural and unoperated. This is the secret behind the deep plane facelift.

By releasing all the tethering points in the face and performing a comprehensive deep plane release, you can counteract the effects that gravity has incurred over the years. Since this technique involves release and repositioning as opposed to the suture pull typically used in the majority of other face lifts, there is a 0 tension incision line. Without a doubt, this provides a much longer lasting result without the scarring or irregularities potentially seen with other lifts more commonly performed.

The package also includes all aftercare needed, a comprehensive skin assessment plus custom skin care products to aid in your recovery.

Timeline

  1. The Consult

    During the initial consult Dr. Esmail will take a complete medical history as well as discussed with you your goals for facial rejuvenation. We recommend you come to the consult with pictures of what you looked like 10-15 years earlier. This is helpful for Dr. Esmail to determine your natural aging anatomy. Using state of the art skin analysis and 3D photography along with consultation with you Dr. Esmail will create plan for your rejuvenation.
  2. Day of Surgery

    Depending on the procedures you had you will have some swelling and bruising. Facial rejuvenation is not particularly painful procedure. In fact most patients comment on how they had little to no pain in the postoperative period. You will be sent home with a facial compression dressing (like a pantyhose for the face, and medication. There are no Band-Aids for drains required for this surgery. The next week is for resting recovery.

It is often advisable to take the provided pain killer and 1 mg lorazepam 30 minutes prior to your appointment and have somebody who will be driving you home.
  5. One to Three Months

    It can take anywhere from one to three months for incision lines to start to fade and for irregularities to smooth out.

Starting two weeks after ear surgery we can begin laser resurfacing and skin tightening included in the Visalyft package.

About Dr. Ali Esmail, MD

Dr. Ali Esmail Visage

Owner/Doctor

Dr. Ali Esmail is Winnipeg’s first and only fellowship trained Facial Plastic Surgeon.

When it comes to someone’s face there is no room for error, and at Visage, this is the very work ethic that drives our entire team. It is those attributes that originally attracted Dr. Esmail to the field of facial plastic surgery. His obsessive attention to detail and keen eye for aesthetic symmetry is what makes him one of the most exciting and top young surgeons in the field.
