Facelift

The Plastic Surgery Center performs expert facelift surgery for its Manhattan and New Jersey patients on a regular basis. It is extremely common for the skin on the face to gradually loosen and sag over time, creating wrinkles, jowls, and droopiness beneath the eyes. Among the facelift surgery candidates we see in our Manhattan and New Jersey practices, we note that excessive sun exposure and fluctuations in weight can speed this process, often making people look years older than they are. When we do a facelift at our Manhattan or New Jersey offices, it is intended to restore a smooth, youthful appearance to our patients by lifting and removing excess facial skin and tightening the underlying muscles.

At the Plastic Surgery Center of New Jersey and Manhattan, our surgeons will help you to decide whether you are a good candidate for a facelift. If so, to perform a facelift, the surgeon will first make small, careful incisions along the chin, ears, and hairline. Next, he will lift and tighten the skin and underlying musculature in the optimum direction and trim away excess tissue. Finally, the surgeon stitches the remaining skin in place. Our cosmetic surgeons often combine a facelift with other complementary procedures such as eyelid or nose surgery to enhance results for our local and worldwide patients who seek us out at our Manhattan and New Jersey practice. If you are interested in a facelift, contact our Manhattan or New Jersey offices today.

Face lift surgery can be performed on both men and women, but it needs to be customized. Remember, men and women have distinct facial features.

The temples, cheeks, jowls, and neck skin are undermined. The incisions are carefully designed to be completely hidden.

The muscles (or SMAS) of the skin are lifted in the optimum direction. Sometimes this differs from the direction of the skin lift. Doing so can help to prevent a "lifted look."
