Cosmolift™ …The One Hour Scarless Face Lift
That Delivers Incredible Results Instantly

Dr. Sam Assassa, aesthetic medicine specialist and founder of Beverly Hills Aesthetics, is one of the first Cosmetic specialists in the United States to offer his clientele “The One Hour Scarless Facelift” or “Cosmolift™” This procedure is also medically known as “ Sutures Suspension SMAS Lift”. It is the latest arsenal in the minimally invasive Cosmetic surgical facelifts. 

“Cosmolift™” is the ultimate alternative to the traditional surgical facelift which conventionally is carried out with an open incision under general anesthesia, leaving a visible long scar along the hair line and lasting swelling, bruising and healing for at least two weeks after surgery. The “Cosmolift™” is done under local anesthesia, takes approximately 1 hour and delivers immediate long lasting lifting and tightening of drooping brows, cheeks, jowls and neck without visible scar. “The same technique can also be used to correct a small or receding chin,” says Dr. Assassa. 

About Cosmo Face Lift
Drooping of the face and neck is caused by the sagging of the sub dermal facial layer, called the Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System. SMAS functions as a suspension to overlying skin and soft tissue. As we age this becomes loose causing the skin and fat pads to gravitate, giving the face a sad and tired expression. Lifting and fixing the SMAS in a better position causes repositioning of soft tissue and facial structures thus restoring the facial contour. Traditionally this has always been accomplished by an “open” surgical technique. Now, the same procedure can be performed in a “closed” technique using a very tiny puncture incision in the scalp to introduce the non-absorbable sutures which lift and tighten the drooping deeper tissue and fix it to a stable tissue in the scalp thus restoring the facial contour to a more vibrant youthful look. “Cosmolift™” is much superior to thread lift, contour lift and feather lift. The latter techniques use barbed sutures (sutures with cogs) that suspend the fat not the SMAS without anchoring to a stable deep tissue which causes the sutures to easily migrate and loss of the lift in a matter of few weeks.

“Cosmolift™” is the perfect alternative to the classical open surgical facelift.
