What Is a Face Lift?

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin and reposition underlying facial tissue and muscles.

The goal of the facelift procedure is to improve the visible signs of aging in the face and neck to a more youthful and natural looking appearance.

Dr. Moskovitz is renowned for delivering subtle, natural results, focusing on giving patients a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Benefits of a Face Lift

Face Lift surgery will lead to a more refreshed, youthful, and natural looking appearance. Benefits include:

  • Tighter and smoother skin that gives a more youthful look
  • Minimizing the appearance of deep wrinkles and creases around mouth, nose, and chin
  • Tighter and slimmer looking jawline
  • Removal of the “double chin” by removing excess skin and tightening skin
  • Improved and natural looking appearance that leads to increased self-esteem and confidence

Who Are Good Candidates for a Facelift?

A facelift is well suited for a person showing signs of aging like sagging skin in the lower and mid face, jowls, or loose skin beneath the chin and jaw.

The best candidate is looking to address one or more of these changes but still have elasticity in their skin. Good candidates are those who are:

  • Overall, in good health, with medical clearance being required
  • Nonsmokers (including vaping, nicotine patches and hookah) as smoking impairs healing
  • Candidates with realistic expectations, understanding the facelift rejuvenates your appearance but does not stop the aging process

A facelift does not improve the look of the brow, eyelids, nose, and some parts of the mid-face. Improvements to these areas can be combined with a facelift and can be discussed thoroughly with Dr. Moskovitz at your consultation.

During the examine, Dr. Moskovitz will discuss a personalized treatment plan that fits both your goals and needs.

Dr. Moskovitz, a highly qualified facelift surgeon in NY, combines his surgical expertise, dedication to patient safety and satisfaction to patients in NY, NJ, and adjacent areas in attaining natural results.

Other Facial Procedures

The mini facelift addresses the lower face and neck only. This procedure is less invasive than the full facelift and with a quicker recovery period between 1-2 weeks.

Candidates for this procedure are those who have mild to moderate signs of early aging. Pricing for the mini face lift starts at $10,000.

Also known as a necklift, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the neck by removing skin and fat.

This procedure addresses wrinkly and crepey skin of the central neck with a recovery period of 2 weeks. Pricing for the TZ Plasty starts at $9000.

The browlift procedure elevates the eyebrows and the skin drooping over the eyes. There are several browlift options available and are discussed at your consultation with Dr. Moskovitz on the best option for you.

Typically, the recovery period can be anywhere from 1-2 weeks depending which option you are a candidate for. Pricing for the browlift can start from $7,600- $12,100.

Preparing for Your Face Lift

  • Thorough discussion of your concerns and goals at your consultation with Dr. Moskovitz.
  • Physical examination of your face, neck and the review of your medical history and medications.
  • Facelift options and the recovery process will be discussed, and the realistic results you can expect.
  • Pre-operative appointment 4 weeks before surgery to review pre & post-op instructions, your current medications, supplements, vitamins.
  • Medical clearance with your physician 4 weeks before surgical date.
  • Prefill prescribed medications so they are readily available.
  • No smoking 4 weeks before and after surgery (includes vaping, nicotine patches and hookah).
  • Avoid aspirin or aspirin products 2 weeks before and after surgery.
  • Arrange transportation to and from the surgery.
  • Arrange for someone to be with you for the first 24-48 hours post-surgery.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

The recovery period is anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks for most patients. Patients are wrapped in head dressing for the first 24 hours after surgery, and sutures and staples are removed within the first week following surgery.

Bruising, swelling, tightness or tension around the face and neck may be felt but most of these side effects resolve within 3-6 weeks after surgery.

Sensation typically returns to normal within a few months and scars become less red, raised, and lumpy over time.

Aftercare Instructions

  • Have an adult stay with you for the first 24- 48 hours after surgery.
  • Rest with your head elevated using pillows or a recliner for the first week.
  • Avoid sleeping on the side of your face for 2-4 weeks after surgery.
  • Take prescribed pain medications as needed.
  • Can shower once your head wrap has been removed (usually 24 hours after surgery).
  • No heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for at least 2 weeks post-surgery.
  • Cover-up makeup can be used one week after sutures are removed.
  • Avoid bending, lifting heavy objects, or bumping the face.
