If you’re thinking about a facelift in New York City, here are two essential factors you should consider when choosing your plastic surgeon:
1. Communication
Undergoing a facelift procedure is a major decision. It’s not just about appearance—it’s about trust, clarity, and shared expectations.
You must be able to clearly communicate your goals with your surgeon, and your surgeon must be able to explain what’s realistic, what isn’t, and which facial rejuvenation techniques will best support your desired outcome.
This type of honest dialogue is especially important in a city like New York, where patients have many options and are often seeking the most advanced, natural-looking results.
2. Common Sense
Someone in the room needs to have common sense. If it’s not the patient, it must be the doctor.
After discussing your aesthetic goals, your plastic surgeon should be able to determine—realistically—what’s achievable and what’s not. This is where experience, judgment, and ethics come into play.
The truth is: a facelift can mean different things to different patients. There are many surgical techniques and even more variations within each one. Once you’ve communicated your goals to your plastic surgery, whether it is me or another surgeon, we will know how to tailor the approach to fit your specific facial anatomy, skin condition, and goals.
Final Thoughts
In the end, the best facelift results come from personalized planning, expert surgical technique, and a doctor-patient relationship built on trust and common sense.
