What is the "Charleston Custom Lift"?
It’s Dr. Funcik’s unique approach to a surgical facelift. Dr. Funcik has never been a “One-size-fits-all” type of surgeon. His current facelift approach is utterly state of the art. It includes the most advanced deep plane, deep neck, and facial fat grafting techniques, in accordance with your personal goals and needs. His approach includes all the latest advances currently used from New York, to Miami to LA. With a soft, natural looking, Southern touch.
So many incredible breakthroughs have occurred in the last decade in facelifts. Always an innovator, Dr. Funcik’s approach to The Charleston Custom Lift has always been cutting edge and constantly evolving.
The essence of the deep plain approach is that instead of simply pulling cheek skin, the deeper and supporting SMAS is meticulously liberated and then elevated to its original youthful location. With no tension. Then, your upper neck under the chin is also meticulously analyzed and contoured according to your individual needs and desires. Then, where needed, the last frontier of facial aging, which is age related shrinking from fat volume loss, is permanently addressed by precise facial fat grafting.
Fat grafting is a very advanced technique with a steep learning curve. Many skilled surgeons never master it. The way we perform it NEVER creates a “fat face.” It merely restores a portion of the fat that was previously present in your early middle age years.
Before we even schedule surgery, we perform a careful analysis of photos that show facial changes through various decades. We are always keenly interested in your personal preferences. While not overshooting and trying to re-create the facial contours of your 20s, it is critical that we together determine your realistic goals. Long before the surgery even begins.
Dr. Funcik coined the concepts of facial sagging shrinking and shriveling. Different patients manifest different degrees of these universal age related changes. Together, we analyze your facial aging from all three of these standpoints. Together we come up with a cohesive plan to address each of these attribute of aging according to your personal preferences. One simple way to understand it is that surgery primarily addresses sagging. Fat grafting primarily addresses age related shrinking of cheeks, temples, lips and chin. And skin resurfacing addresses shriveling. Fascinatingly and rewardingly, there is also beneficial overlap among each of these interventions.

What Can a Facelift Improve?
Our faces are the most exposed and visible part of us, which, over the years, makes our faces very susceptible to everything around us that can take a toll. This includes sunlight, natural gravity, and air pollution. Add in factors such as alcohol, smoking, aging, and generic makeup, and sometimes the effects of life are very significant.
A Charleston Custom Lift can improve the appearance of the face, including the lower face around the jowls and neck. Some of the most common areas that clients want to have treated are:
- Under the eyes
- Crow’s feet
- Sagging jowls
- Lines and wrinkles
- “Baggy” skin
It’s not uncommon to combine our Charleston facelift with other procedures such as Sculptra. In many cases, this achieves the absolute best results, restoring a youthful fullness to the face. Dr. Funcik will explain the options you have for combining a Charleston Custom Lift with other procedures in order to get optimal results.
Better Results with a Charleston Custom Facelift
When people refer to a “facelift,” they’re typically referring to a generic, one-size-fits-all procedure to lift the muscle in the lower face. Lifts such as the Lifestyle Lift are mass-marketed under many different trademarked names, and are essentially mass-produced facial surgery—individually wrapped, but each one is the same.
In contrast, we know that your face is unique. Dr. Funcik specifically tailors his Charleston Custom Surgical Facelift to address your individual needs, concerns, and lifestyle. Generic facelifts only target a limited area, so while they can be moderately effective for some people, they also produce limited, short-lasting, and sometimes unnatural appearing results. A Charleston Custom Facelift by Dr. Funcik, however, will provide you with more dramatic, natural-looking results and arguably the best facelift Mount Pleasant, SC has to offer.
The Rewards of a Beverly Hills Lift, With Far Less Sacrifice
Generic facelift results often come at an unnecessarily high cost, and can appear unnatural-looking. Because these facelifts typically involve surgery underneath the cheek muscle, they’re costlier, require a longer recovery time, and also present a real risk of nerve damage.
Dr. Funcik’s Charleston Custom Facelift typically involves a mini-lift of the neck and jawline and a subtle lifting of the cheek area—without exposure to the nerves in the lower areas of the face. You’ll experience the exact same quality results as a Hollywood lift, but you’ll also get:
- Less expense
- Shorter recovery time (about two weeks)
- Less scarring
- Less risk of complications, such as nerve damage

Is a Charleston Custom Facelift Right for You?
While there’s no set age for having a facelift procedure, most individuals who have it done are in the age range of 45-60. As long as you’re healthy, certain of what you want, and realistic about your expectations, you should be a good candidate for a Charleston Custom Facelift.
An ideal candidate for a facelift is someone whose face has begun to sag, but whose skin still retains some flexibility. Make sure that you are doing it for yourself and no one else, and understand that no matter what type of surgery you get, no one is 100% perfect-looking. We can improve our natural appearance, but to expect to “be perfect” is not realistic.
Dr. Funcik will listen carefully to you explain what is bothering you about your face, and will then let you know how to best correct the issues. With over 20 years of experience, he understands how to get optimal results for specific problem areas.
