Over 120,000 people in the United States got facelifts last year alone.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Payman Simoni takes us into the operating room as he performs this procedure on his patient, Maris. You can see Maris is awake while Dr. Simoni performs her facelift!
Afterward, Dr. Simoni joins The Doctors to further explain his procedure. He says unlike a traditional facelift which can take 5-6 hours under anesthesia, this is quicker and the patient being awake allows him to use their facial expressions as a guide for more natural results. The glue he uses is a biological glue that is made from proteins found in human plasma. These proteins are the same ones that act as a clotting factor in our bodies. While it usually takes three weeks for the skin to close up, this glue takes only 3 minutes!
