Facial Rejuvenation Facelift in New York, NY | Gary S. Berger MD FACS

Understanding Age-Related Facial Changes

As individuals age, facial skin loses elasticity, and structural changes become more apparent. The facelift procedure strategically addresses these age-related transformations by selectively targeting specific facial features that signify aging.

Comprehensive Facelift Technique

Dr. Berger's facelift procedure focuses on multiple facial rejuvenation elements, including:

• Elevating cheek contours
• Flattening deep facial folds
• Tightening jawline and jowls
• Repositioning neck skin
• Removing excess skin

Advanced Surgical Approaches

Gary S. Berger MD FACS specializes in various facelift techniques, with the most common being the SMAS intermediate depth facelift. This approach provides optimal long-term results by lifting tissues at a deeper structural level.

Surgical Technique Details

Incisions are strategically placed within and in front of the ear, wrapping discreetly around the back of the ear and predominantly hidden within the hairline. Newer short-scar techniques are utilized when appropriate to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can typically expect dressings to be removed within a day, with most sutures being dissolvable. Swelling varies, but most individuals can resume normal activities within a week and begin receiving compliments on their rejuvenated appearance within three weeks.

Procedure Flexibility

Dr. Berger offers flexibility in anesthesia options, including general anesthesia, light sedation, and partial wakefulness, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure.
