Facelift and Necklift

Why a Facelift?

With aging, the facial skin stretches and the facial fat descends. This leads to the characteristic appearance: jowls, deep creases around the mouth (nasolabial folds), and decent of the cheek fat. The lower face becomes heavy and the upper face appears hollow and tired looking. A youthful face, on the other hand, has full cheekbones and thinner lower face.

A facelift is a very effective procedure that restores facial balance by tightening the skin and deep tissues of the face. The procedure provides volume to the upper face and improves the contour of the jawline, as well as make the nasolabial folds less prominent. Facelifts are commonly performed in conjunction with a necklift, which tightens the skin and muscles of the neck to create a smooth and youthful contour.

What Is the Recovery Like for Facelift Surgery?

Most patients are cared for by a private duty nurse for the night after surgery. A small drain will be placed and will be removed by Dr. Stein in the morning. Pain is typically mild and temporary. The face will be swollen and may be bruised for 7-10 days and most patients resume social activities by 2 weeks. You can return to exercising in 3-4 weeks.

  • From my first encounter through to follow up post surgery, my experience was positive. Dr Stein’s self-confidence, kindness and professionalism put my anxieties to rest. His follow up is superb and he gives his patients his time and attention without making them feel he is in a hurry. The procedure which I had been dreading turned out to be far less traumatic than I had anticipated. I would highly recommend him!

  • I recently saw Dr. Stein for an elective cosmetic visit. He took his time to listen and thoroughly evaluate me. Throughout the procedure, his attention to detail and skill was excellent. You can tell he is a perfectionist, exactly what you’d want in your plastic surgeon. I’m so happy with my result and can’t recommend him enough!

  • I am so grateful for Dr. Stein. I had an absolutely wonderful experience with him. Not only do I look amazing, I feel happier than I ever could’ve imagined. He’s a perfectionist and his work is absolutely flawless, but more importantly he is honest and genuine.
    Andrea
  • I met Dr. Stein after moving from California a couple of years ago as I was interviewing plastic surgeons to both perform surgery as well as to administer injectables. After meeting with several other surgeons, it was an easy decision. Dr. Stein has performed surgery on both my face and breasts, and has administered injectables on several occasions throughout the last couple of years. In addition to being an excellent surgeon and having an amazing aesthetic, Dr. Stein imbues the rare qualities of honesty, ethics, compassion and kindness in addition to his surgical excellence. I could go on and on, but needless to say, I recommend him without reservation for any procedure, both on the face as well as the body. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

  • The office is gorgeous and the staff & Dr. Stein are incredible. Very competent, accommodating, pleasant, with great follow up– couldn’t ask for more. Extremely happy with results I had from a procedure here. I am a physician and have sent many colleagues & friends here personally for the wonderful experience. Manhattan has countless plastic surgeons so it’s tough to know where to go; you will not regret coming to this office for your aesthetic/cosmetic needs.
