Facelift in Long Island

Facelift surgery is tailored to the individual, so it is difficult to give a price quote prior to a thorough physical evaluation and discussion of the patient’s goals. Many factors affect the price, including the surgeon’s fees, facility fees, anesthesia fees, postoperative garment fees, and others. Our team will provide a detailed quote at the time of your private consultation.

A facelift focuses on the middle and lower two-thirds of the face, treating the cheeks and jawline, while a neck lift primarily addresses the neck, zeroing in on issues such as vertical bands, submental fullness, and 'turkey neck.' Neck lifts are typically done along with facelifts in our practice. A deep plane neck lift addresses a heavy and obtuse neck. During a deep plane neck lift, deep structures such as subplatysmal fat, digastric muscle, and submandibular glands are reduced to give you the sharpest and most rejuvenated neck appearance.

Younger patients who have retained good skin elasticity but who wish to correct wrinkles and sunken facial contours may be able to obtain their desired results with a liquid facelift. Changes are temporary, however. For those with more pronounced skin sagging, jowls, and loss of definition in the jawline, a surgical facelift is considered the gold standard in anti-aging techniques. In some patients with early facial aging changes, a short scar facelift under local anesthesia can be offered.

While facelift results are long-lasting, the procedure does not stop the natural aging process. For this reason, some patients may need another surgery within 10-15 years. You can extend the results of your facelift by following a healthy diet and exercise regimen, minimizing stress, not smoking, avoiding harmful UV rays, getting adequate rest, and drinking plenty of water.

Our board-certified surgeons use advanced techniques to help minimize postoperative scarring. Nevertheless, any time an incision is created, a scar will form. Most scarring is hidden within the hairline and behind the ears with a facelift, so patients will look refreshed and rejuvenated without any telltale signs of cosmetic intervention.

Surgical risks are greatly reduced by choosing an experienced, board-certified surgeon to perform your facelift. However, all surgeries have some inherent risks, including anesthesia risks, bleeding, swelling, infection, deep vein thrombosis, fluid buildup, nerve injury, numbness, poor wound healing, skin discoloration, poor aesthetic results, and others. Our team will discuss these risks in more detail during your private consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
