BENEFITS OF A MINI-FACELIFT

The Pre-Lift is most appropriate for men and women who have
mild to moderate aging changes in the cheeks, jawline (jowls),
and neck. Although there isn’t a definite age range, most
patients who qualify for this procedure are aged late 40s to mid60s.
The Pre-Lift is one of several procedures, both surgical and nonsurgical, that Dr. Prendiville will discuss at his “All About Face”
seminar. Using before and after pictures of actual patients, Dr.
Prendiville will discuss the latest advances in facelifts, eyelid lifts,
nose surgery, lasers, and reconstructive surgery. He also will
review injectable wrinkle fillers Botox®, Sculptra®, Juvederm®,
Restylane®, Radiesse® and Voluma®.
In addition to a light lunch, attendees will be able to make an
appointment for a free consultation with Dr. Prendiville.
Dr. Prendiville is the only Fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon in Fort Myers who is certified by both the American Board
of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American
Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. He has performed more than 3,000 surgical procedures during his 10 years
of practice in Fort Myers.
He is recognized nationally as a facelift expert with more than 20
articles published in medical journals and he has served as guest
editor for Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America.

A new mini-facelift designed to lift facial tissue with fewer incisions and a quicker recovery time has been introduced in Southwest Florida by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen Prendiville.
Dr. Prendiville created the “Pre-Lift” as an alternative to a full
facelift. The procedure helps lessen the bands and sagging
skin under the jawline while raising the cheek area and adding
volume to the midface through the use of Voluma®XC, an FDAapproved injectable gel that instantly adds volume to the cheek
area.
The Pre-Lift will be discussed along with other procedures for
rejuvenating the face at a seminar Dr. Prendiville will conduct
Friday, Nov. 14, at 11:30 a.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn/Fort
Myers Airport at 16410 Corporate Commerce Way in South Fort
Myers near Gulf Coast Town Center. A light lunch will be served.
The seminar is free, but reservations are required by calling 239437-3900. Space is limited.
“This combination procedure has the advantages of fewer
incisions, instant volume in the midface area and a somewhat
quicker recovery,” Dr. Prendiville said. “Not every patient is a
candidate, but many people are.”

In 2008, he was invited to join RealSelf.com as a reviewer and
has now achieved Distinguished Member status for his responses
to patients with questions about facial plastic surgery and skin
rejuvenation techniques.
Dr. Prendiville is the past president and secretary/treasurer of
the Florida Society of Facial Plastic Surgery, an association consisting of 250 facial plastic surgeons in the state.
Dr. Prendiville graduated with his M.D. degree with high honors
from Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington,
D.C., and served his residency at Georgetown University.
He was awarded a Fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at St. Louis University in Missouri, where he was
a clinical instructor in the St. Louis University Department of
Otolaryngology.
All surgeries are performed at Dr. Prendiville’s state-of-the-art
Surgical Center adjacent to his office in South Fort Myers at
9407 Cypress Lake Drive, Suite A. The Surgical Center is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF), which is the largest accrediting body for outpatient surgical facilities in the United States.
