The Ribbon Lift is a new procedure performed by Dr. Stephen Martin to improve
facial sagging that comes with the aging process. This minimally-invasive
procedure involves making a small incision behind each ear and under the
chin to insert bioabsorbable ENDOTINE ribbons. The physician uses the ribbons
to lift the muscle allowing him to also tighten loose tissue. The Ribbon Lift
provides results which last from 3-5 years with only minimal side effects such
as bruising and a recovery time of approximately one week. The Ribbon Lift
may be just the right choice for the patient without excessive facial laxity
who wants to lift the neck, jowl or lower face areas.
