Facelift
A facelift is a cosmetic procedure used to reduce signs of aging on your face by tightening the facial skin and deeper tissues. At Miami Plastic Surgery®, Dr. Kelly specializes in the use of advanced surgical techniques to perform facelift procedures that leave your skin appearing healthier and more youthful. Ideal candidates for this procedure are those that have deep lines or wrinkles, loose or sagging skin, deep folds or creases around the nose and mouth, and those that have realistic expectations of what a facelift can deliver.
Neck Lift
A neck lift procedure removes excess neck fat and skin while simultaneously removing or altering the neck muscles. This results in skin tightening around the neck, which creates the appearance of a more defined neck and jawline. A neck lift can be performed alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a chin implant, a facelift, fat grafting, or liposuction to further enhance the appearance of the neck. Dr. Kelly will discuss your desired goals and develop a treatment plan during your consultation.
Facial Fat Grafting
The loss of facial fat is one of the most important contributors to an aging face. Simply tightening the facial skin and underlying structures, as is done in a facelift, will not replace the volume that is lost over time. Through the technique of facial fat transfer, live fat cells can be transferred from unwanted areas to areas that are deficient. This procedure can usually be performed under local anesthesia or with some light sedation. Fat is meticulously removed and redistributed into the desired area.

Dr. Kelly's Guide To Injectables
Below are the common treatment areas for injectables with Dr. Kelly. Depending on the specific area being treated, Dr. Kelly recommends a specific type of injectable treatment. Learn more about each treatment area below.
Botox Or Dysport
Done every 3-4 months (in some patients, dysport will last longer), takes 10 days to work, don’t rub area or exercise for 4 hours afterwards.
Ha Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid)
This treatment addresses the natural loss of fat that occurs with aging of the cheeks and upper mid face. As the deep facial fat goes away with age, the cheeks become flat and the structures below droop. Refilling those areas with fillers rejuvenates the face and lifts those falling structures. Most patients will need 1-2cc to rejuvenate these areas. Juvederm Voluma lasts up to 2 years. Restylane Lyft lasts up to 1 year.
Non-Ha Filler
Lasts longer than Restylane Lyft, but not as long as Voluma
Sculptra
Requires 2-3 session for results to last 24 months. Poly-L-lactic acid builds collagen gradually; can be used as volume replacement or for texture improvement
Ha Filler
Helps eliminate the unwanted shadow in the tear trough area. No filler is FDA approved for this area, but Restylane, Restylane Silk or Vollure all work well. In my experience in most patients, these products can last up to 1 year in this area. Vollure can last up to 18 months. Maximal swelling occurs the morning after treatment, then starts to recede. End result can take up to 1 week to see. Sleeping with back elevated can help reduce some swelling if done the first night. Ice packs in this area are important as well.
Ha Fillers
HA Fillers e.g. Volbella or Restylane Silk work best to treat this area. Filler can be injected into the lip itself to restore volume, then the individual fine lines are treated as well. This can all be done without making the overall lips bigger. Application of ice before treatment can make this procedure essentially painless and use of ice afterwards can help lessen swelling or bruising. The most swelling is seen the morning is after the treatment and results can take up to a week to see.
HA Filler
Can be added to increase the volume of the lips and make them larger. Volbella or Restylane Silk work best. Adding volume over 2-3 sessions can give the most natural results. Most swelling occurs in first 24 hours after treatment. Ice can help minimize the selling that occurs. Results can last 3-12 months depending on which filler and how much is used.
Radiesse
Used to treat loss of volume. This will help cover veins, tendons and bones giving the hand a fuller, more youthful appearance. Hands will seem overly full for 1st week, but settle down to a natural result after 1 weeks’ time. Results last 12-18 months.
Botox/Dysport
Used to treat platysma bands. Results last 3-4 months.
Sculptra
A series of 2-3 injections, 1 month apart to soften the appearance of horizontal lines, “crepey skin”.
HA Filler
Used to hide a bump or hump of the nose, by filling above and below that area. It can also be used to “straighten” a nose if it is more hollow one side than the other.
Voluma
Used to fill the loss of fat in the temples with aging. The patient usually needs 1 cc per side as a minimum. It may need to be repeated after a month if the volume loss is severe. It lasts up to 2 years.
HA Fillers
used to augment a recessive chin. Results will last 6 month to a year. May need to be repeated depending on the severity of the chin recession.
