Philosophy

According to Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich, facelifts still remain the gold standard to really turn back the clock and take up to 15 years off a person’s appearance. Dr. Vasyukevich takes pride in his ability to look at a person’s face and know right away how to enhance its natural beauty. “Each patient requires a custom approach to give them the best aesthetic outcome and help them maintain it for many years to come,” he says. “I analyze the patient’s face and determine the best approach based on their facial type and unique features.”

About My Practice

How can minimally invasive procedures enhance surgery?: Each cosmetic procedure, whether surgical or minimally invasive, is designed to solve a unique set of problems. And, when used properly, the two can greatly complement each other. The most effective facial rejuvenation is achieved using a combination of both surgical and nonsurgical methods. Less-invasive techniques can tremendously improve a surgical outcome, creating a balanced, natural-looking result.
How has your field evolved in recent years?: It has almost become a requirement in our society to look young and energetic, both in the workplace and in our personal lives. It’s really a thing of the past for people to wait until they are in their 60s or 70s to start considering facial rejuvenation procedures. We’re now seeing much younger patients coming in for treatments that will help them prevent facial aging.
How do you enhance the patient experience?: We have a fully accredited surgical operating room in our office to provide convenience and comfort for our patients. As a part of our commitment to providing patients with the best possible results and rejuvenation, we also carry a unique scar-reducing skin-care product line. Visit purehealplus.com for more information.
What is your philosophy on facial rejuvenation?: A facelift is one of the most powerful tools to restore facial beauty. It can reduce wrinkles, improve skin laxity and create a more youthful contour. When I perform a facelift, my aesthetic goal is to rejuvenate the appearance by restoring an attractive neck angle, as well as a contoured jawline. Above all, a facelift should always look natural and balanced.
What type of skill set does facial plastic surgery require?: It requires technical ability and healthy perfectionism, as well as a good eye for aesthetics and beauty. The face is probably the most challenging part of the body to work with. Successful facial rejuvenation requires achieving a delicate balance between a smooth and youthful facial shape without crossing the line to a taught and unnatural facial appearance. This unique challenge also makes it extremely interesting and rewarding to be a facial plastic surgeon.
