Understanding Facelift

A facelift is designed to reverse the signs of aging, restoring a naturally youthful appearance by lifting sagging skin, tightening underlying muscles, and repositioning facial fat. At Madison Plastic Surgery, Dr. Robert Tornambe offers advanced facelift techniques to ensure natural-looking and long-lasting results.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift is a customized surgical procedure that addresses:

  • Sagging skin along the cheeks and jawline
  • Deep folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth
  • Loss of volume in the mid-face
  • Excess skin and fat accumulation under the chin
  • Loose, crepey skin on the neck

Depending on your aesthetic goals, a facelift can be performed alone or combined with other procedures such as a brow lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), or liposuction for enhanced results.

Techniques & Procedure

Dr. Tornambe customizes each procedure using advanced techniques:

Traditional Facelift:

This technique involves incisions around the hairline and ears, allowing for:

  • Tightening of deep facial muscles
  • Removal of excess skin
  • Fat repositioning to restore volume

MACS Facelift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension Facelift):

A less invasive option ideal for younger patients or those with mild to moderate skin laxity. Benefits include:

  • Shorter incisions and reduced scarring
  • Less downtime
  • More natural lifting effect

Neck & Jawline Contouring:

A facelift can be combined with neck liposuction or a neck lift to enhance jawline definition and remove excess fat beneath the chin.

The Facelift Procedure:

Performed at our fully accredited surgical suite on the Upper East Side, NYC, the procedure generally lasts between 3-4 hours, depending on the complexity. It involves:

  • Anesthesia: Administered by board-certified anesthesiologists for maximum comfort.
  • Incisions Placement: Carefully hidden within the hairline and around the ears.
  • Skin & Muscle Tightening: Lifting and repositioning of deep facial tissues for long-lasting results.
  • Fat Redistribution: Restoring lost volume to the cheeks and mid-face.
  • Excess Skin Removal: Trimming and redraping skin for a smoother appearance.
