Facelift, Brow Lift, Rhinoplasty and Eyelid Surgery - New Jersey and Manhattan
Face Lift
The Plastic Surgery Center performs expert facelift surgery for its Manhattan and New Jersey patients on a regular basis. It is extremely common for the skin on the face to gradually loosen and sag over time, creating wrinkles, jowls, and droopiness beneath the eyes. Among the facelift surgery candidates we see in our Manhattan and New Jersey practices, we note that excessive sun exposure and fluctuations in weight can speed this process, often making people look years older than they are. When we do a facelift at our Manhattan or New Jersey offices, it is intended to restore a smooth, youthful appearance to our patients by lifting and removing excess facial skin and tightening the underlying muscles.
At the Plastic Surgery Center of New Jersey and Manhattan, our surgeons will help you to decide whether you are a good candidate for a facelift. If so, to perform a facelift, the surgeon will first make small, careful incisions along the chin, ears, and hairline. Next, he will lift and tighten the skin and underlying musculature in the optimum direction and trim away excess tissue. Finally, the surgeon stitches the remaining skin in place. Our cosmetic surgeons often combine a facelift with other complementary procedures such as eyelid or nose surgery to enhance results for our local and worldwide patients who seek us out at our Manhattan and New Jersey practice. If you are interested in a facelift, contact our Manhattan or New Jersey offices today.
Face lift surgery can be performed on both men and women, but it needs to be customized. Remember, men and women have distinct facial features.
The temples, cheeks, jowls, and neck skin are undermined. The incisions are carefully designed to be completely hidden.
The muscles (or SMAS) of the skin are lifted in the optimum direction. Sometimes this differs from the direction of the skin lift. Doing so can help to prevent a "lifted look."
The final result should be smooth and shapely
The incisions are closed.
The final result is a youthful and rested appearance. The cheekbones are higher, the jaw line smoother, and the neck angle tightened.

Brow Lift
At the Plastic Surgery Center in New Jersey, we see that many people over time develop deep horizontal creases across the forehead, pinched furrows above the nose, or heavy, drooping eyebrows. By performing a brow lift for our patients in New Jersey and Manhattan, we can reverse the lined, drooping brow that has left them looking tired, angry, sad, or simply far older than they actually are. The brow lift works to reverse this effect by lifting and tightening the skin on the forehead and smoothing out wrinkles-effectively taking years off our patients' appearance.
We perform two main types of brow lift at the New Jersey Plastic Surgery Center: the standard brow lift and endoscopic brow lift. During a standard brow lift, our surgeon makes an incision above the hairline to minimize visible scarring, and then lifts and tightens the brow. In endoscopic brow lift surgery, which is often selected by our younger New Jersey and Manhattan patients with fewer wrinkles, our surgeon inserts an endoscope (miniature camera) beneath the skin through two or three small incisions. The endoscope allows him to see clearly while tightening and lifting tissue without making a larger, open incision.
At our Manhattan and New Jersey practice, we often perform a brow lift in conjunction with other surgeries or treatments to give our patients enhanced effects. Such complimentary procedures may include eyelid surgery and/or BOTOX® or collagen injections.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Our surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Center also perform eyelid surgery for our patients in the New Jersey and Manhattan area. Many patients arrive at our practice with heavy, drooping upper eyelids or puffy bags beneath the eyes that can make them look tired or older than they really are. For these patients, eyelid surgery can restore a more youthful, alert appearance by removing excess skin and fat from the eyelids. It can also help improve vision if sagging eyelids are interfering with sight.
During eyelid surgery at the New Jersey Plastic Surgery Center, our surgeon makes discreet incisions along the eyelids to remove the excess fat and skin. He then tightens and stitches closed the remaining tissue. In cases where only fat - no skin - needs to be removed from the lower lids, our surgeon can enter through a transconjunctival incision (within the eyelid) with no external incisions. We perform eyelid surgery for our New Jersey, Manhattan and worldwide patients alone or in combination with other facial surgeries such as a brow lift or a facelift. If you would like to explore the advantages of eyelid surgery, please contact us in New Jersey or Manhattan today.
Bags and excess skin of the upper and lower lids give us a tired appearance.
There are two fat pads of the upper lids and three of the lower.
The incisions are designed to be camouflaged and to remove excess skin.
If no skin needs to be removed from the lower lids, a transconjunctival (or inside the eyelid) approach can be used.
With time, the incisions usually are completely inconspicuous.
The final result is a rested, interested, and youthful appearance.
Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Many people arrive to our Manhattan and New Jersey offices wanting to change the way their nose looks. In fact, rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most commonly requested plastic surgery procedures among our patients in the Manhattan and New Jersey area. Through rhinoplasty, our surgeons can reduce or increase nose size as well as change the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between the nose and upper lip. They can also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve breathing problems such as a deviated septum.
Nasal surgery, or rhinoplasty, can address the nasal hump, tip, and functional nasal breathing problems.
During surgery, the nasal bump and bulbous or round tip is precisely trimmed.
After the nasal hump is trimmed, the resultant flattened bridge needs to be narrowed. This is performed by carefully cutting (not breaking) the nasal bones.
The final shaping and contouring is then performed.
With time, the incisions usually are completely inconspicuous.
Open rhinoplasty requires small incisions in the skin of the nose. After healing, these incisions are usually undetectable.
Airway problems can often be improved, and a deviated or bent septum is straightened.
A nasal splint is worn for about one week.
The final result should be a natural appearance, well tailored to your other facial features. The ultimate result should be total facial harmony.
When our surgeon performs a rhinoplasty procedure on one of our Manhattan or New Jersey area patients, he makes small incisions around the nostril rims, precisely trims extra cartilage from the nasal bump or the round tip, then he narrows the flattened bridge by carefully cutting and resetting the nasal bones. The surgeon then performs the final shaping and contouring before stitching closed the incisions. We have witnessed dramatic results among our rhinoplasty patients here in Manhattan and New Jersey as well as among our patients who come to us from around the globe. To find out if rhinoplasty is right for you or to set up a consultation, please contact our expert surgeons today.
