Facelift in Great Neck | Burt Greenberg MD MBA FACS

Understanding Facelift Procedures

As individuals age, gravitational changes, sun exposure, and daily life stresses manifest visibly on the face. Deep facial creases, loosened jawlines, and fat deposits in the face and neck become increasingly apparent.

Key Benefits of Facelift Surgery

• Repositions facial elements to a younger state
• Counteracts gravitational changes
• Smoothes wrinkles and age lines

Facelift Procedure Overview

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, aims to create a younger and fresher appearance by removing excess fat, tightening muscles, and naturally redraping facial and neck skin. Surgeons often combine this procedure with complementary treatments such as forehead lifts, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

Surgical Approach

Incisions typically begin above the temple hairline, following natural facial contours around the ear and extending into the lower scalp. For neck refinement, a small chin incision may be made to directly remove fat and tighten neck muscles.

Patient Considerations

Medical conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, blood clotting problems, scarring tendencies, and smoking history are carefully evaluated prior to the procedure. Patients can expect some temporary skin numbness, particularly behind the ear and neck, which typically resolves within weeks to months.

Post-Procedure Care

Moisturizers are recommended during initial recovery, and green-based camouflage makeup can help conceal temporary skin discolorations.
