Lifts in NYC

Dr. Leonard Grossman, a distinguished plastic surgeon based in New York, NY, with over 25 years of esteemed experience, offers exceptional Face Lift services.

With over 12,000 successful operations history, Dr. Grossman is renowned for his innovative techniques and commitment to achieving natural-looking results.

A Face Lift with or without a Neck Lift is a sophisticated procedure aimed at addressing the signs of aging by removing excess skin, tightening muscles, and redistributing fat to restore a youthful facial appearance. As individuals age, they often experience a loss of skin elasticity, facial fat, and muscle tone, leading to sagging skin and deepening of wrinkles. A Face Lift can effectively reverse these changes long term, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated look. The results include a smoother, firmer facial contour that enhances the overall appearance, making the face look naturally younger.

Dr. Leonard Grossman employs advanced techniques to ensure every procedure’s efficacy standards. His unique approach often combines a Face Lift with Fat Grafting, where the patient’s fat is meticulously transferred to areas of the face which require volume restoration. This method enhances the natural appearance and minimizes the risk of complications associated with traditional facelifts. By integrating these techniques, Dr. Grossman achieves results that are aesthetically pleasing, long-lasting, and extremely natural-looking.

The Ideal
Candidate

Individuals often opt for a Face Lift to address visible signs of aging that can affect their confidence and self-esteem. Genetics, environmental exposure, and lifestyle choices can contribute to developing sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. A Face Lift offers a comprehensive solution to these concerns, helping patients restore a youthful, refreshed appearance that aligns with how they feel inside.

Someone who has experienced significant changes in their facial structures, including loose skin and deep creases, particularly around the jawline and neck, is an ideal candidate for a Face/Neck Lift. Ideal candidates are also those with a healthy lifestyle pre surgery, realistic expectations, and a commitment to living a healthy lifestyle after surgery. Dr. Leonard Grossman assesses patients’ unique facial anatomy when they were considerably younger and aging patterns to determine the most appropriate approach to achieve optimal results.

A successful Face Lift procedure relies on several critical factors, including precise surgical technique, meticulous planning, and comprehensive post-operative care. Dr. Leonard Grossman’s clinic offers personalized treatment plans tailored to patients’ needs. By combining traditional Facelift methods with the latest, tried and true, innovative techniques such as Fat Grafting, Dr. Grossman ensures that the results are natural-looking and enduring. His extensive experience and attention to detail guarantee that every procedure is performed with the highest standards of safety and excellence.

Recovery is crucial to achieving the best possible results from a facelift. Factors such as smoking, poor diet, and inadequate post-operative care can impair healing and affect the outcome. Dr. Leonard Grossman provides detailed recovery guidelines and ongoing support to his patients, emphasizing the importance of following these instructions to ensure optimal healing.

The Face Lift
Operation

Dr. Leonard Grossman’s facelift operation involves several meticulously planned steps to ensure a safe and effective procedure. Either a Deep Plane or a SMAS facelift will be recommended to you based on the aging pattern and the desired outcome. Different variations of the neck lift will be discussed with each patient well in advance of your surgery date. Fat Grafting; where and how much, will also be discussed well in advance. Our goal is to keep or enhance the patient’s natural beauty while maintaining the highest levels of safety and care during each operation phase.

Pre - Operative Consultation

The journey to a rejuvenated appearance begins with a thorough preoperative consultation. In this session, Dr. Leonard Grossman assessed the patient's facial structure, skin type and condition, and overall health to determine the best procedure for their goals, expectations, and concerns. Dr. Grossman also provides personalized recommendations for additional treatments that may enhance the final results, such as neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lifting, fat grafting and laser resurfacing.

Surgery

The Face Lift surgery involves several precise steps to achieve a natural and youthful appearance. The procedure begins with an incision in the hairline above and front of the ear, extending downward around the ear and ending in the hairline behind the ear. This strategic placement ensures minimal visible scarring while utilizing natural facial and neck wrinkles. The skin is then carefully lifted off the underlying muscle and tissue, allowing Dr. Grossman to tighten the muscle (SMAS layer of the face) with permanent stitches. Excess skin is removed from the face without any undue tension to achieve a smooth and firm contour, and the remaining skin is repositioned. This method ensures patients will NOT look as if they are in the wind tunnel. Closing the incisions carefully with sutures and skin staples in the hairline, a bandage wrap stabilizes the new facial structure and prevents unexpected bleeding.

Post-Operative Care

Post-operative care is critical to the Face Lift process, ensuring optimal healing and the best possible results. Dr. Leonard Grossman provides comprehensive care instructions tailored to the patient's needs. Patients are monitored closely during the initial recovery period, with follow-up appointments to assess progress and address concerns. Advanced techniques minimize the need for traditional post-operative aids such as drain tubes, compression garments or special pillows.

Grossman's procedure typically takes several hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the individual case and any additional treatments performed simultaneously. Patients often have concerns about the recovery time and potential discomfort associated with the surgery. Using revolutionary techniques and Dr. Grossman's expertise, patients experience a smoother and more comfortable recovery, rarely experiencing any pain.

Cost Of A Face Lift Operation

The cost of a Face Lift with or without the Neck Lift can vary significantly based on several factors. The complexity of the procedure, its specifics, and any additional treatments that may be recommended for the most successful outcome.

While a Face Lift can significantly improve the appearance of sagging skin and deep wrinkles, it may not address all signs of aging. Additional treatments such as eyelid surgery, neck lifts, laser resurfacing, or non-surgical options like Botox and dermal fillers can be combined with a Face Lift to achieve the most comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Grossman will tailor a treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
The choice between a total Face Lift and a mini Face Lift depends on the extent of aging and the areas of concern. A mini Face Lift typically addresses the lower face and jawline, making it suitable for patients with mild to moderate sagging. A total Face Lift provides more comprehensive rejuvenation for those with significant skin laxity and deeper wrinkles. Dr. Grossman will assess your needs during your consultation and recommend the most appropriate procedure.
Dr. Grossman can perform a facelift on patients with previous facial surgeries. During your consultation, he will evaluate your surgical history, assess your current facial structure, and discuss the best approach to achieve your goal aesthetic while ensuring safety and effectiveness.
Men can benefit from a Face Lift just as much as women. Dr. Grossman tailors his techniques to meet the specific needs of male patients, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance masculine features without over-tightening the skin.
Typically, you can wear makeup in one to two days following surgery but you will need about 10 days to apply makeup to the scar area after your Facelift surgery. However, this may vary depending on your specific healing process. Dr. Grossman will provide personalized guidance on when it is safe to resume wearing makeup.
A well-performed Face Lift by Dr. Leonard Grossman will enhance your facial appearance while preserving your natural expressions. The goal is to achieve a youthful look that reflects your unique personality and facial characteristics.
It is generally recommended to avoid coloring your hair less than two weeks before and three weeks after the Face Lift surgery. Chemicals in hair dye can irritate the incision sites and scalp, potentially affecting the healing process. Dr. Grossman will advise you on the best timing for hair coloring to ensure it does not interfere with your recovery.
After a Face Lift, it is recommended to sleep in an elevated position to reduce the post-procedure swelling and avoid pressure on the face. A Lazy-boy chair is ideal for the first few nights following the procedure. Dr. Grossman will provide detailed instructions on the best sleeping positions and any other precautions to take during the initial healing phase.
It is important to follow Dr. Grossman’s instructions regarding skincare post-surgery. Generally, you should avoid using products on your face for the first few days. Once the initial healing phase is over, Dr. Grossman will recommend gentle, non-irritating skin care products that promote healing and scar reduction to maintain the results of your Face Lift.
A Face Lift can improve some issues in facial symmetry by tightening and repositioning the skin and the face’s underlying tissues. Most of the facial asymmetry is related to the underlying skeleton and as a rule not addressed with a face lift. During your consultation, Dr. Grossman will assess your facial structure and asymmetries to develop a customized surgical plan that addresses your needs and enhances overall facial harmony.
