  • 10 Reasons Why Getting A Dog Is Better Than Getting Facelift!

    I have had dogs in my life since I was a little boy, and I have been a plastic surgeon for over 25 years. So, I consider myself an expert in both categories. While I can rattle off the advantages of a facelift for someone who is an appropriate candidate, a lot more people are candidates to enjoy the...

  • Is face lift surgery safe?

    Facelift surgery is a safe operation as long as there are no significant health issues. However, any operation does carry certain risks, but these can be minimized by surgeon training and experience. Good Luck. READ MORE

  • How long does a facelift last?

    It sounds like you are a candidate for a mini facelift. My favorite technique is called MACS mini facelift and it has the advantage of a shorter recovery time and less extensive scarring. Lifestyle and skin care affect the longevity of any facelift operation, but generally speaking, this procedure lasts 7 to 10 years. Good luck. READ MORE

  • What is the best surgery for under eye bags?

    This is a common condition and often has genetic implications as in your mother or father probably had bags as well. Blepharoplasty is the name of the surgery which plugs out pillows of fat that are causing the bags. READ MORE

  • What is a one stitch face lift?

    Never heard of it. Sounds like a marketing ploy, as some surgeons try to stand out by attaching a catchy name to her procedure. Probably some sort of mini facelift with shorter scarves and shorter recovery. READ MORE

  • What is a mini face lift?

    My favorite technique is the MACS short scar Mini-Facelift. Developed in Europe, it is the ideal approach for the younger patient, not ready for a full facelift, or patients who desire a less invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time. It addresses both the mid face area (especially the jowls) as well as the neck, if needed. READ MORE

  • What is a liquid face lift?

    Sounds like you are referring to the vampire facelift which involves drawing blood from an individual, spinning It down and separating it and injecting the plasma under the skin. Supposed to act like a facelift, but really doesn’t work and is not FDA approved. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How do you sleep after ear lobe surgery?

    You should simply elevate your head with two pillows for the first couple of nights. Also, use older pillowcases because a bit of blood may drip on to the surfaces, which is normal. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How do you prepare for a nose job?

    Simply follow instructions from your operating surgeon, no special preparation needed other than typical preoperative orders. Good luck. READ MORE

  • What are the bad side effects of Botox?

    Literally millions of people have been treated with Botox with minimal complications. The most common one however is a droopy upper eyelid, which can sometimes occur when treating the wrinkles of the forehead. However, it goes away with time. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Will my ear pinning surgery be delayed from Covid-19?

    Unfortunately, all elective surgery has been put on hold mandated by executive orders by Governor Cuomo in New York. It looks like he may not permit elective surgery in the office setting before June 1, but that may change. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How long does a blepharoplasty last?

    The nice thing about a blepharoplasty or eyelid lift is that it usually lasts 20 or 30 years. The trimmed redundant skin usually does not come back. After surgery, patients look refreshed and well rested as most people do not realize that they have had cosmetic surgery. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How do you get rid of a double chin without surgery?

    If your double chin is secondary to a collection of fat under the skin, which is usually the cause, micro liposuction is by far the best option and still the gold standard. The procedure can be done in the office under local anesthesia and results are immediate. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How long does Botox last?

    Botox usually lasts approximately 3 to 4 months, depending on the degree of wrinkling and the activity of the muscle causing it. It carries a high level of satisfaction. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Can you touch your nose after a rhinoplasty?

    Best to ask your plastic surgeon but you should not touch your nose for at least one week after surgery. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Can a rhinoplasty make nostrils smaller?

    Nostrils can be made smaller by performing a procedure called Weir excision, which decreases the diameter of the nostrils, and the scars are hidden quite nicely. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Can you get fat removed from your cheeks?

    Depending on the location of the fat in your cheeks, it can be reduced by either micro liposuction or buccal fat pad removal. Either one can be performed in the office under local anesthesia. Good luck. READ MORE

  • Are cheek implants a long-term option?

    Cheek implants can be a long-term option to increase cheek projection, however, I prefer fat transfer as the result is far more natural with less complications. It can be done in the office, under local anesthesia. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How long is recovery from a face lift?

    While most sutures will be removed after one week, and at that time you will certainly be comfortable, but may be still bruised. I usually recommend patients taking off 10 to 14 days after a facelift to allow swelling and bruising to resolve. At that point, any residual bruising can be covered by make up. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How much weight can you lose with liposuction?

    Liposuction is not a weight loss tool, but rather an option to remove well defined areas of fat non-responsive to diet and exercise. It is best to lower your BMI to around 30 before considering any type of surgery for safety purposes. READ MORE

  • What is the best age for face lift?

    I appreciate your concern, but understand you are not alone, as aging gracefully is something we all wish to achieve! It sounds like you are a candidate for a Mini-Facelift. My favorite technique is the MACS short scar Mini-Facelift. Developed in Europe, it is the ideal approach for the younger patient, not ready for a full facelift, or patients who desire a less invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time. I would also consider fat grafting to your face to re-define your jaw line and fill out those areas that have lost volume over time. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck. READ MORE
