Facelift
Growing older is inevitable, and the face is usually the first part of the body to exhibit signs of aging. Although we can’t reverse the aging process, modern plastic surgery procedures can help you reduce troublesome signs.
A facelift in Manhattan, NY, can rejuvenate your appearance, and with board-certified plastic surgeon Oren Z. Lerman, results look completely natural.
How a Facelift Rejuvenates
Facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) aims to reduce signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face, such as:
- Wrinkles
- Lost volume
- Sagging skin
- Jowls
This surgery removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissues of the face for a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. We know that many patients worry the results of a facelift will be obvious and make it look like they've had a lot of work done. Dr. Lerman takes special care to provide results that will make you look like yourself–only younger. While results can be dramatic, you'll still look like you.
Dr. Lerman Explains Facelift Surgery
Manhattan-area patients who choose facelift surgery can enjoy smoother skin, a defined jawline, an overall more youthful appearance, and the elevated confidence that comes with having all three. Dr. Lerman explains candidacy for facelift surgery and what it can help patients achieve.

To determine your eligibility for a facelift, you will first need to undergo a physical examination and pre-operative consultation with Dr. Lerman at our White Plains or New York office serving Manhattan and all of New York City. During this consultation, Dr. Lerman will review your medical history, assess your skin and facial bone structure, and more. In general, patients should:
Have Visible Signs of Aging
Patients who are unhappy with their facial appearance and have signs of aging like sagging skin and deep wrinkles may qualify for a facelift. However, the procedure works best for patients whose skin still has some elasticity.
Be in Good Overall Health
Certain medical conditions like issues with blood clotting, uncontrolled diabetes, and high blood pressure can make surgery dangerous and prevent you from being a good candidate. Consult with your primary physician before considering a facelift. You should also quit smoking in the months leading up to and the months following your cosmetic surgery, as nicotine inhibits the healing process.
Have Realistic Expectations
Before you can receive any kind of plastic surgery, you must understand its limitations. Rhytidectomy can shave years, even decades off your facial appearance, but it won't fundamentally change your appearance. Additionally, the aging process will continue, and you'll develop more signs of aging over time.
The Facelift Procedure What to Expect
Facelifts are typically performed in one of our plastic surgery offices serving Manhattan. Your procedure will involve several steps:
Facelift results can last up to 10 years. Choose a trusted, board-certified surgeon like Dr. Lerman for the most lifelike effects.
Making the Most of Your Facelift
Follow a Skincare Routine
While the results of your facial rejuvenation can shave years off your appearance, an at-home skincare routine can help preserve your results. We recommend using moisturizer morning and night, sunscreen every morning, and retinol a few times a week at night.
Minimize Scars
The incisions used in this cosmetic surgery are small and will be placed in discreet areas that are easily hidden, but you can fade them even more by protecting them from the sun as they heal and applying scar creams once they have healed.
Consider Injectables
A facelift can provide dramatic results, but you can maintain your results with more conservative treatment. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes facial muscles to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. Dermal fillers add youthful volume to the face. Our Manhattan-area offices offer both.
Combining Your Facelift With Other Procedures for Comprehensive Results
While a facelift only addresses the lower two-thirds of your face, Dr. Lerman can combine your facelift with other cosmetic surgery options to address other concerns. Procedures include:
