Another successful and busy week complete✅

This week I performed:
-A full body lift
-2 deep plane facelifts
-2 blepharoplasties
-My signature LaMiNa treatment
-Minimally Invasive Mastoid Sling (MIMS) neck lift

I perform all of these procedures EXCEPT the body lift under local anesthesia. This means that the patient is awake throughout the operation, giving them the opportunity to communicate with me should they feel any discomfort. This allows my team and I to immediately address it, which minimizes overall post-op pain and recovery time.

LaMiNa stands for CO2 lasering, microneedling, and nanofat, and is my signature facial rejuvenation treatment. After I aggressively laser and microneedle the area, I apply nanofat harvested from the patient’s own body to soothe the skin and accelerate the healing process. Look up “Claytor LaMiNa ASJ” to read my paper published in 🔥

My Minimally Invasive Mastoid Sling (MIMS) neck lift makes just ONE incision behind each ear and is essentially scarless. I create a tunnel and thread a permanent suture through the incision, which is then anchored around the mastoid bone before being tied tightly beneath the chin. This procedure creates a natural, contoured jawline without any visible scars👏

I’m looking forward to doing it all again next week before I head to Brazil for the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery Meeting🤩

03/12/2026

I’m very excited to be heading to Brazil next weekend to speak at the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery meeting!🤩

I will be speaking about deep plane facelifts under LOCAL anesthesia during the Deep Planes vs. Plicatures round table, where I will discuss submandibular gland resection and awake surgery. Search “Claytor awake facelift PRS” to read my study published in , which looks at 200 of my patients who had undergone awake deep plane facelift surgery. I’ll also share my Minimally Invasive Mastoid Sling (MIMS) technique for beautiful neck contouring🔥

I’ll be presenting my signature LaMiNa treatment during the Advances in Regenerative Facial Aesthetics conference. LaMiNa stands for CO2 lasering, microneedling, and nanofat. After aggressively treating the area, I apply nanofat harvested from the patient’s own body as a rescue to reduce pain and accelerate healing. This is AMAZING for treating perioral rhytids. Find my paper published in by looking up “Claytor LaMiNa ASJ”.

I’m looking forward to connecting with the very talented surgeons attending this conference. EDUCATION IS KEY!🔑👏

We 🩵 CoolPeel and CO2 Lift!

CoolPeel is a fractional treatment done using the TetraPRO CO2 laser from . This treatment resurfaces the skin by delivering micro-injuries to the surface to stimulate collagen production and promote the natural healing process. There is minimal downtime, which is further accelerated using the CO2 Lift mask🤩

is a carboxytherapy gel mask that is applied post-treatment to help soothe the skin and kickstart the healing process. CO2 Lift delivers carbon dioxide to the skin to hydrate, firm, and brighten the appearance. We love using this mask after laser treatments because it calms inflammation and helps take some of the spice away👏

Shannon is an expert with the laser and always delivers amazing results🔥

What are endotines and how are they used?🤔

Endotines are absorbable devices that are often used in endoscopic procedures, such as brow lifts and midface lifts. When I perform endoscopic brow lifts, I use a scope to dissect the tissue before drilling a tiny hole into the skull. The endotine is fixed into the hole and the upper face is lifted and held in position by the prongs on the endotine.

The incisions for this procedure are made behind the hairline, rendering them virtually invisible after healing. The endotines will dissolve within six to nine months after the procedure, giving the tissue time to re-adhere in the new lifted position. I also use endotines in endoscopic midface lifts🔥

Endoscopic brow lift results are long-lasting, natural, and scarless👏

03/06/2026

We got a LOT of questions about endoscopic facelifts on our recent post 👏

The most popular question: How are endotines different than threads? These are COMPLETELY different procedures. Endotines are inserted below the SMAS using an endoscope, whereas threads are inserted just below the dermis to temporarily lift the cheek area. Endotines are made of an absorbable material and have rows of little prongs that allow me to lift the SMAS as a unit, removing the possibility of bunching or puckering that may occur when using separate threads. Endotines will dissolve in about 6 months, leaving long-lasting results, while threads are a more short-term solution.

I was also asked what I do with excess skin during the procedure. People who have an excess of loose skin are typically not good candidates for an endoscopic midface lift and should consider other options, such as an open deep plane facelift. My practice utilizes the aesthetic ladder, which is a hierarchy of treatment options that progressively get more comprehensive as you climb. Patients can start at the bottom of the ladder with a non-invasive treatment, like Sofwave, before deciding to move up to surgical options.

The best treatment option differs from patient to patient, which is why it is so important to explore all the available options before scheduling your surgery. Endoscopic facelifts are perfect for those without extreme excess skin, who don’t want any visible scars, and are looking for youthful, natural results🔥

NEW PODCAST ALERT🚨

Dr. Fodero and I have started this podcast to talk about our passion for plastic surgery and to share our expertise with those who are interested in the field.

This first episode focuses on awake deep plane facelifts. I have an in-office operating room that is local anesthesia ONLY, where I perform a majority of my facelifts. Awake surgery may sound scary, but it is very safe and effective. Dr. Fodero and I discuss the benefits of using local over general anesthesia and what surgeries we prefer to do awake👏

Awake surgery creates a comfortable atmosphere where the patient is able to communicate with me throughout their procedure. Using local reduces post-op recovery time, minimizes overall pain, and allows us to form a strong bond as we chat during their operation.

We’re in the golden age of deep plane facelifts. Addressing the submandibular gland and performing this operation under local anesthesia leads to natural, long-lasting results with easy recovery periods🔥

Deep plane facelifts under LOCAL ANESTHESIA are the way to go🤩

This beautiful 69-year-old patient came to us because she felt like her appearance did not reflect how she felt on the inside. She had been noticing that her lower face and neck were beginning to sag with age and wanted a more rejuvenated appearance. I performed her deep plane facelift under local anesthesia, allowing her to communicate with me throughout the entire operation.

Awake surgery allows me to build a strong bond with each of my patients because we have the opportunity to chat throughout the procedure. They can tell me if they feel any discomfort and my team and I will immediately address it, ultimately reducing post-op pain and recovery time.

During a deep plane facelift, I release the retaining ligaments in the face, vertically elevate the SMAS, and tighten the platysma muscles in the neck. Addressing the underlying muscles before redraping the skin ensures long-lasting, natural results. I also partially resect the submandibular gland in many of my patients to achieve a sharp, contoured jawline🤗

Look up “Claytor awake facelift PRS” to read my paper titled “Awake Rejuvenation with the Deep Plane Face Lift and Extended Deep Neck Contouring” published in .

At 6 weeks out, this patient looks beautiful and is fully back to her regular routine. Revealing my patients’ inner-confidence is my passion🔥

MIMS neck lift recovery is a piece of cake🍰

This beautiful 50-year-old patient is about a year and a half out from her Minimally Invasive Mastoid Sling (MIMS) neck lift. She came in because she was frustrated with the loose skin around her neck and felt that it was getting worse with age. She did not want to have any visible scars around her ears or to undergo an invasive surgery, making her the perfect candidate for the MIMS👏

I perform MIMS neck lifts under local AWAKE anesthesia. This is a minimally invasive procedure that makes only ONE incision behind each ear, rendering any scaring virtually invisible after they heal. Since my patients are awake during their operation, they can communicate any discomfort with me, reducing overall pain and post-op recovery time.

The mastoid sling is created by threading a permanent suture deep beneath the fascia, anchoring it around the mastoid bone, then following the same tunnel SUPERFICIALLY to the midline. Once both ends of the suture are beneath the chin, I tightly tie them together to lift the neck. I also thread an absorbable suture through the same superficial tunnel to help accelerate the healing process, and utilize hemostatic net sutures for several days post-op to help seal the area between the skin and tissues back together.

The MIMS neck lift has little downtime, minimal scarring, and causes confidence to SKYROCKET with natural, contoured results🚀

ENDOSCOPIC facelifts are the most innovative new facial rejuvenation technique🤩

Endoscopic facelifts are performed using a high-definition scope and are essentially SCARLESS. The scope is introduced through ONE incision in the hairline, making it virtually invisible once it heals.

Once the scope has entered through the incision, I’m able to dissect the midface and create a path beneath the SMAS, which will then be elevated with endotines. I insert sheathed endotines into the tunnel, place them into position, then remove the sheathe, leaving the tines behind.

As I remove the scope from the tunnel, the overlaying tissue settles on top of the endotines, allowing me to lift and elevate the SMAS as a unit. Endoscopic facelifts target the midface and can correct jowling, sagging skin, and can even treat the tear trough area✨

The ponytail facelift pioneered by is one variation of this procedure. Thank you for teaching your fantastic techniques at the Ponytail Academy course👏

These procedures are minimally invasive, have little scarring, and produce natural, youthful results🔥

Had an incredible weekend at ’s Ponytail Academy advanced course🤩

The ponytail facelift is an endoscopic procedure where minimal incisions are hidden behind the ear, meaning that they are virtually invisible after healing. This procedure sculpts and reshapes the face and neck for a rejuvenated, youthful appearance👏

I had the opportunity to speak about my signature LaMiNa treatment, which stands for CO2 lasering, microneedling, and nanofat. This treatment is used to rejuvenate the skin and targets stubborn perioral rhytids around the mouth. After aggressively lasering and microneedling the area, I apply nanofat as a rescue to soothe the skin and accelerate recovery. Search “Claytor LaMiNa ASJ” to read my study.

It was a pleasure to learn from all the very talented surgeons who attended the course and I look forward to implementing this technique at my practice🔥

My incredible research fellow Patty had the opportunity to meet with the president of The Aesthetic Society, , at ACEPS!🤩

Patty attended the American Council of Educators in Plastic Surgery’s annual meeting earlier this month on behalf of The Aesthetic Society. She is part of their externship program for medical students who are attending schools that do not have a plastic surgery program, which offers students 1-on-1 mentorship to help guide them on this path towards their future in plastic surgery.

Patty spent her time at ACEPS educating other medical students, residents, and attendings about The Aesthetic Society’s externship and resident programs. Thank you for an amazing weekend sharing knowledge and fostering the future of plastic surgery, !

We look forward to seeing you all in Boston this May for ’s The Meet🔥
