Face & Neck Lift

Face lifts today involve more than just a tightening of the skin, but also tightening on the musles and sometimes, fat grafting to fill in some of the fat that adds structure and youth to the face, which we lose as we age. A skilled surgeon can hide incisions so well that even a hairdresser might miss them. The results are more natural, causing patients to look refreshed and rested, rather than surgically altered. Dr. Bazell performs both full facelifts, as well as lower facelifts, depending on the patient's desires.

Pictured below are some examples of full face and neck lifts as well as some lower facelifts, as noted.

Testimonials

Dr. Bazell is a gifted top-notch plastic surgeon. With his questing mind, he is constantly studying more techniques and incorporates the most sound research and thinking into his practice. That's an incredible base, but he understands that plastic surgery starts from an esthetic perspective, and I consider him a thoughtful and observant artist AND a surgeon. That's an incredible combination of skills -- and it gave me a remarkable surgical result that exceeded any hopes or expectations we might have had. His practice reflects his high standards - I felt beautifully cared for throughout the entire process by his entire staff who are equally devoted, kind, and attentive. My husband and I enthusiastically recommend him with the highest possible praise.

Dr. Bazell is a one of a kind. His skills as a surgeon are outstanding, and his skills as a professional who cares rank amongst the highest I have ever encountered. He takes his time, calls you, discusses everything about your procedures, and makes you feel comfortable and safe. He continues his care for you for all your post surgery appointments. He is an outstanding surgeon, Doctor and person.

In December 2003 my husband I met with Dr. Bazell to discuss a brow lift and lip augmentation. We were referred to him by a close relative who was very happy with the outcome of her procedure and with Dr. Bazell.
We met with him to discuss my options and see if this was something I wanted to actually have done. Dr. Bazell met with us for an extended period of time to explain literally everything that the surgery entailed; pre-op, the operation itself to include the procedure, materials, etc. and the post-op. We were both so astounded with his knowledge, ethics and deep concern for my well being and -- also his honesty about procedures he did not believe were healthy for anyone. We were both so impressed with how honorable he is and what we perceived as a wonderful surgeon, I literally called within 48 hours to schedule the surgery in January.

We do not live in Illinois and had to make arrangements to stay in a nearby facility. While my husband could be there part of the time (of a week s stay) he had to be back at work. Because I could not drive, Dr. Bazell went out of his way to come to me and check on me and remove stitches.

My recovery was short of a miracle. I only took Tylenol for a couple of days. No pain killers. My follow up visits to him were always thorough and complete.
Because we were so impressed with him and my successful surgery, I decided to have a tummy tuck in October 2005. Again, the same professional, ethical and compassionate care.
I would not hesitate for one second to recommend Dr. Greg Bazell for any cosmetic procedure. I trust him implicitly and would trust him to do any surgical procedure on me.
