Facelift and neck lift work

• Full facelift. Incisions above the ear, inside the front ear creases and behind the ear; skin of the middle and lower face is loosened, deeper tissue repositioned and excess skin removed; fat transfer may restore volume (facelift).
• Neck with facelift. Central neck bands may be addressed with platysmaplasty and submental fat with liposuction; a chin implant may be added (facelift).
• Mini and mid-facelift. The mini facelift targets the lower face and upper neck; the mid-facelift ("cheek lift") vertically elevates the cheek fat pad, often with fat transfer (facelift).
• Neck lift. Incisions behind the ears with a short extension around the earlobe, sometimes beneath the chin; stitches out within four to seven days; most patients return to work within seven days (neck lift).
• Neck liposuction and FaceTite. Stitches removed about five to seven days after neck liposuction (neck liposuction); FaceTite is done under local anesthetic with 2-5 days off work (FaceTite).
• Facility. Facelifts are performed at his accredited plastic surgery center in NYC (facelift).
