Facelift Surgery: A Modern Approach

Facelift techniques have evolved significantly since the early 1900s. Today, facelifts focus on repositioning skin, tightening muscles, and reducing excess fat for a more youthful, natural appearance. As we age, the skin may loosen, cheeks can hollow, and wrinkles can develop on the neck.

While many patients notice these signs in their late 30s, most facelift candidates range from 45 to 70 years old. Dr. Leong customizes each facelift to address the unique concerns of every patient, ensuring personalized care and beautiful results.

Types of Facelifts

The world of facelift surgery is filled with marketing for branded procedures, but these often obscure the details that matter most. Dr. Leong believes in cutting through the noise, offering clarity about what each surgery entails and how the techniques used can impact your results. His years of experience and specialized training have allowed him to develop a facelift approach that achieves natural-looking, long-lasting outcomes.

What to Consider Before a Facelift

When considering a facelift in NYC, patients often have several concerns:

Safety and Complications

Ensuring a smooth, complication-free procedure starts with selecting a surgeon who has extensive training and experience. At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Leong focuses exclusively on facial procedures, with facelift surgeries making up more than half of his practice.

Achieving a Natural Look

A natural-looking result is essential. Dr. Leong believes that if it doesn’t look natural, it doesn’t look good. His approach avoids the overly pulled, artificial appearance often associated with quick or commercial facelift procedures. Instead, his patients enjoy subtle, rejuvenated results.

Longevity of Results

Long-lasting results depend on the technical details of the surgery. Dr. Leong's years of experience, combined with his training alongside world-renowned facelift surgeons, allow him to provide consistent, high-quality results for his patients.

Minimizing Downtime After a Facelift

While the actual facelift procedure is never rushed, Dr. Leong makes every effort to minimize recovery time. He understands the importance of a quick return to your normal routine and uses advanced techniques to ensure a smooth, efficient healing process.

Combining Procedures for Enhanced Results

A facelift does not address every sign of aging, such as wrinkles around the eyes or lines near the mouth. In many cases, patients opt to combine their facelift with other procedures, such as fat transfer, facial implants, liposuction, eyelid surgery, or a brow lift, to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Educating Yourself on Facelift Surgery

At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, we believe informed patients make the best decisions. Our website offers a wealth of content and videos that explain Dr. Leong’s philosophy and the techniques he uses to achieve natural, long-lasting results.

For additional information, you can also explore websites like RealSelf, which offer insights on facelift procedures, including pricing. Dr. Leong is here to help you interpret any research you do on your own.

Smoking and Facelift Surgery: What You Need to Know

Smoking can significantly increase the risks and complications associated with facelift surgery. Nicotine constricts blood vessels, reducing blood flow and oxygen to healing tissues, which can result in poor healing or skin necrosis. To minimize risks, Dr. Leong advises patients to stop smoking at least 6-8 weeks before and after surgery. Reducing smoking is not enough—complete cessation is essential for a safe and successful outcome.
