Face Lifts
Deep plane or SMAS face lifts with incisions hidden in the hairline and around the ear, placed in natural creases to minimize visible scarring; a mini lift addresses the lower face and jawline.
Patients from Philadelphia travel to Dr. Leonard Grossman in Brooklyn, NYC for face and neck lifts that look natural rather than pulled. He chooses a deep plane or SMAS face lift for your aging pattern, often adds fat grafting with your own fat, and refines the neck with platysmaplasty, ultrasound-assisted liposuction and Renuvion. Surgery takes place at his fully accredited surgery center in Brooklyn, where your anesthesia plan is confirmed at consultation.
Surgical lifts and volume restoration from a Brooklyn surgeon who has used patients’ own fat in the face since 1993.

Cheek lifts reposition the midface through an incision inside the mouth and a small temple incision, or are achieved with fat grafting instead.
Brow lifts are reserved for genuinely low or uneven brows; for aging brows, Dr. Grossman often prefers restoring volume with fat.
Ultrasound and power-assisted liposuction for a double chin or heavy neck, in about 30 to 45 minutes under local or twilight anesthesia.
Facial fat grafting with your own fat and stem cells, Renuvion tightening, CO2 laser resurfacing, Botox and fillers for skin, lines and volume.
Dr. Leonard Grossman does not believe gravity alone explains an aging face; much of it is volume loss. That is why his face lifts pair a deep plane or SMAS lift, with skin removed without undue tension, with fat grafting to restore lost fullness, and why his neck lifts combine platysmaplasty with ultrasound-assisted liposuction and Renuvion. Incisions follow the hairline and natural creases around the ear and neck for minimal visible scarring, and recovery is designed to be light, often without drains or compression garments. Patients researching the best face and neck lift surgeon in Philadelphia travel to his Brooklyn practice for this approach.

A face lift treats sagging and deep creases in the mid and lower face and jawline. Dr. Grossman recommends either a deep plane or a SMAS face lift based on your aging pattern, so the same name can cover quite different surgical steps. He tightens the SMAS layer with permanent stitches and removes skin without undue tension. A neck lift treats loose skin, fat and muscle bands under the chin, using platysmaplasty, ultrasound-assisted liposuction and Renuvion skin tightening as needed. Many women have both at once; men more often choose the neck lift alone.
