Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery

The first step in facelift surgery is acceptance that everyone has a truly unique face.
Once this concept is accepted, Dr. Durkin begins your process by specifically identifying what comprises the inherent strengths and weaknesses of a your face.
Everyone is born with natural strengths in their personal facial aesthetics.
Some people have perfect brow position, others are born with a perfect, aquiline nose.
There are things about our faces that work, and things that do not work.
We dedicate time to analyzing and discussing the inherent strengths and weaknesses of your facial appearance during our plastic surgery consultation.

Our most sought after procedure at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery is the OCEAN DRIVE limited incision facelift.
After years of experience, Dr. Alan Durkin, our Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, has developed a proprietary limited incision facelift called, the OCEAN DRIVE Facelift.
Dr. Durkin's limited incision facelift technique is designed to provide the best possible result to the midface, lower face, and neck without the use of large, prominent incisions.
The OCEAN DRIVE Facelift involves an incision that is less than half the normal incision used to undertake a facelift, but it allows Dr. Durkin to provide comprehensive rejuvenation to the midface and lower face through comprehensive elevation of the SMAS layer.

Considering getting a facelift?
Facial aging is a complex process that is influenced by many genetic and environmental factors.
Some of these factors include skin type, skin color, types of wrinkles, depth of wrinkles, skin tone, muscle atrophy, volume gain or loss, as well as others.
In essence, facial aging is not an event, but a continuum of events that progresses over time.
Factors influence aging, but aging itself is a continual process of events.
Both men and women consider facelifts and other facial cosmetic surgery as well as non-surgical approaches towards facial rejuvenation at some point in their lives.

For patients who want the absolute best possible result, look no further than the Ocean Drive Full Facelift.
This technique provides comprehensive rejuvenation to the brow, upper and lower eyelids, cheek, lateral face, jawline, and neck.
All patients also receive intraoperative volumization via structural fat grafting or with commercial dermal filler platform.
Patients undergo intraoperative laser resurfacing for maximal results as well.
While this technique provides our most transformative results, it also requires more recovery time than our limited incision technique.

For those who do not like injectables, and those that need a quick lift without less than a week of downtime, look no further than the MACS lift.
MACS is an acronym that stands for "Minimal Access Cranial Suspension", or MACS.
In this procedure, a different type of incision is used than a limited incision lift.
Here, the incision is carried further into the hairline, as lateral brow elevation is one of the outcomes of this technique.
MACS lifts are strong, durable, and in the right patient, they offer world class results.
