Regeneris, a medical practice in Westwood, Massachusetts, has announced the launch of Flexlift™, a next-generation face and neck rejuvenation procedure developed by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Edwin Ishoo. The procedure combines a face and neck lift using a modified multi-plane approach and midface fat volumization, all performed under local anesthesia in an office setting. Unlike traditional facelifts that require general anesthesia and extended recovery, Flexlift™ aims to deliver dramatic, long-lasting results with a healing time of 10-14 days, compared to 3-4 weeks for standard facelifts.
Dr. Ishoo, who has over 30 years of experience, designed Flexlift™ to address the underlying structural changes of facial aging, particularly the loosening of the SMAS layer and deep facial retaining ligaments. The procedure selectively releases and resuspends key ligaments, repositions facial soft tissues, and may incorporate small-volume fat transfer from the patient's abdomen or inner thigh to restore midface volume. This approach minimizes swelling, bruising, and risks such as nerve injury, while preserving a natural appearance. The surgery typically takes under two hours, and patients can often resume daily activities within days.
Flexlift™ is intended for individuals in their 40s to 60s seeking meaningful correction of the mid-face, jawline, and neck without the downtime of a traditional facelift. The procedure is customizable, allowing surgeons to tailor it to each patient's anatomy and aging pattern. It can also be combined with other treatments like eyelid lifts or laser skin resurfacing.
“People are no longer looking for drastic changes, but rather to restore a younger version of themselves,” Dr. Ishoo said in the announcement. “This technique allows us to provide that in a safe, comfortable, office-based environment.” He added that the procedure is a game-changer for patients who want results comparable to a full facelift without the increased risk, cost, or recovery time.
Regeneris, which previously focused on regenerative medicine and aesthetic treatments, is expanding into facial plastic surgery with Flexlift™. The practice offers consultations for those interested in the procedure. Dr. Ishoo is board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. For more information, contact Regeneris in Westwood.
