Facelift The Bronx, NY | Gary S Berger, MD, FACS

Understanding Facial Aging and Facelift Solutions

As individuals age, facial skin loses elasticity and develops visible signs of aging. A facelift can strategically restore a more youthful appearance by addressing specific age-related changes in facial anatomy.

Comprehensive Facelift Techniques

Dr. Berger specializes in multiple facelift variations, with the most common being the SMAS intermediate depth facelift. This advanced technique provides long-term results by lifting tissues at a deeper level beneath the skin.

Surgical Approach

• Incisions carefully placed within and in front of the ear
• Incisions wrap around the back of the ear, hidden within the hairline
• Newer short-scar techniques utilized when possible

Procedure Details

The facelift procedure involves elevating cheeks, flattening facial folds, tightening jowls, redraping the neck, and removing excess skin. Dr. Berger has performed more facelifts in the Tri-state area than nearly any other surgeon.

Anesthesia Options

• General anesthesia
• Light sedation
• Partial conscious sedation

Recovery and Results

Most patients can resume normal activities within a week. Dressings are typically removed within a day, with most sutures being dissolvable. Patients often begin receiving compliments on their rejuvenated appearance within three weeks.
