As you age, your body begins producing less collagen and elastin. These are two protein molecules essential to producing smooth, elastic skin and a youthful appearance.
When you want to look as good as you feel and take years off the clock, you may start looking for facial plastic surgery in New York. While nothing can stop you from aging, Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Abramson can help reverse the clock so you look great and receive a boost to your self-confidence.
Types of Facial Procedures
By the time we reach age 50, our body has lost approximately 40% of its collagen production, which can be aggravated by certain lifestyle choices, such as smoking and sun exposure. The following facial plastic surgery techniques we offer in New York City can help turn back the clock and reveal a more youthful appearance.
Facelift and Neck Lift
We can carefully address the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Over the years, skin relaxation can cause sagging and deepening of visible lines and wrinkles. With age, you can also lose fat, which reduces facial volume and accentuates the appearance of loose skin. A facelift can improve the loss of youthful contours but does not change your fundamental appearance; while a neck lift can address jowling and neck banding that many people are sensitive about.
We also offer a Silhouette InstaLift, or non-surgical facelift. The procedure lifts the mid-facial region and the lower part of the face by addressing loose facial skin that can diminish laugh lines and rejuvenate your appearance.
Brow Lift
A brow lift is sometimes called a forehead lift as it helps reduce the wrinkles on your forehead and lift the eyebrows into a more youthful position. A brow lift can also improve the wrinkles that occur on the bridge of the nose and frown lines that develop between the eyebrows. People should not have a brow lift if their eyebrows are currently in a good position as it can leave them with a permanently “surprised” expression.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery is also known as blepharoplasty and helps reduce excess skin on the upper eyelids. This is a popular type of facial plastic surgery procedure for our patients in New York which can address reduced vision and a tired appearance. While most cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance, if your eyelids reduce your vision, your health insurance may help pay for the procedure.
Lip Augmentation
A lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that can leave you with fuller lips by using an injectable dermal filler containing substances like hyaluronic acid. Another option is fat grafting, also called autologous lip augmentation. During this procedure, liposuction removes fat from your abdomen, which is then purified and transferred to your lips.
Otoplasty
This surgery can improve the shape, position, and proportion of your ear that may have been damaged in an accident or correct a problem that has been present since birth. The surgery is also called otoplasty and helps create a more natural shape as well as bring better balance and proportion to the ears and face.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is also called a nose job and is a cosmetic procedure that can be used to enhance the proportions of your nose and face, widen or narrow your nostrils, or improve your nasal profile by reducing visible humps, depression, or large nasal tips. The surgical incisions are not noticeable. This is one of the most popular cosmetic face procedures we offer in New York.
Facial Fat Transfer
This procedure is also called a fat graft and is used to improve volume in your face by using fat from another area of your body. With age, you can lose volume in your cheeks, which can make you look gaunt and older than you are. Fat transfers can also be used to restore your cheeks or give you fuller lips, making you look years younger.
Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Plastic Surgery?
Men and women who are good candidates for facial plastic surgery in New York are generally healthy and are non-smokers. Nicotine can increase your risk of adverse events during surgery and while healing. It also speeds up the visible signs of aging. It is important to stop smoking before and after surgery to enjoy the full benefits of your facial plastic surgery.
