Welcome to our premier destination for face and neck lift surgery in New York. At our practice, we understand the importance of tailored solutions to help you achieve your desired changes. As your face ages due to a variety of factors, including sun exposure, smoking, and gravity, our team led by Dr. Yager offers comprehensive techniques to address these concerns. Discover how our advanced procedures can restore your natural beauty and confidence.
Understanding the Aging Process
As time passes, your face experiences two primary forms of aging. The skin undergoes changes due to external factors like sun exposure, dehydration, and the loss of elasticity from repeated facial expressions. Simultaneously, gravity contributes to tissue drooping and relaxation. Our traditional facelift surgery excels at restoring the natural position of tissues in the cheek, jowl, and neck. However, it’s essential to note that this procedure does not address issues like fine line wrinkles, discolorations, or nasolabial folds.
To provide a holistic solution, we utilize topical medications, injections, and minor additional procedures, all of which can be discussed during your personalized consultation.
​Customized Approach for Natural Results
Dr. Yager recognizes the common concern of an unnatural appearance following facelifts. He shares this concern and is committed to understanding your unique goals. Everyone’s ideal outcome is distinct, from subtle cheek lifts to a tighter jawline and reduced nasolabial folds. With an in-depth understanding of diverse anatomies and desired outcomes, Dr. Yager employs a range of facial surgery techniques to provide a tailored approach. Through precise elevation of deeper tissues and lateral skin repositioning, enhancements are achieved while preserving your natural essence.
Whether an upper facelift focusing on the cheek and jowl or a necklift for neck tightening, Dr. Yager will guide you through the most suitable options during your consultation.
Safe & Comprehensive Procedure
Ensuring your comfort and safety, our procedures are conducted under the supervision of an experienced anesthesiologist using monitored sedation. This approach provides a level of comfort comparable to a peaceful sleep in your own bed. Preparing for the procedure is crucial, and we advise refraining from smoking for at least three weeks prior to surgery. Smoking and nicotine can elevate the risks of complications and scarring during the healing process. Often, our facelifts are complemented by eyelid, brow, and chin enhancement surgeries, further enhancing your results.
You cannot hide your face with clothing, so it is crucial that a facial rejuvenation is done with a minimum of evidence. In as little as 45 minutes, under light sedation, by using a more modern approach, you can be back to work in a week looking refreshed and younger.
