Conveniently located to serve New York City.
Facial plastic surgery procedures for men and women performed by Dr. Imber offer a range of solutions for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation in NYC. Dr. Imber’s approach to aesthetic enhancement is always centered around a philosophy of natural-looking accentuation, leading him to pioneer less invasive techniques including the limited incision facelift and the short scar facelift and the C-LIFT for Men.
Blepharoplasty
Also known as eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty corrects cosmetic imbalances within the eyelids. It deals with baggy eyes and puffiness by removing excess skin in the eyelid area, repositioning bulging fat, and tightening sagging muscle tissue.
Cheek Augmentation
This facial treatment enhances the structure of the cheek by increasing cheek volume and adding more definition to the area. This is done with either implants or fat transfer.
Chin Enhancement
This procedure is performed to balance the chin with the overall facial structure.
C-LIFT
This facial procedure is a variation of a facelift and is designed specifically for men. It involves improving the jowls and sagging skin beneath the neck and jawline.
Fat Transfer
When patients lose overall facial volume, fat cells from another body area can be grafted and transferred into targeted facial areas to restore volume. Dr. Imber refers to fat transfer as a natural filler.
Forehead Lift
The forehead lift treats sagging brows and other issues like fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead and upper eye area.
Limited Incision Facelift
This facial procedure provides a lift to specific facial areas while leaving only very limited post-surgical marks.
Microsuction
This procedure deals with removing smaller stubborn fat deposits in facial areas like the jowls and double chin to help improve appearance—a technique developed by Dr. Imber.
Nasal Surgery
Also known as rhinoplasty, nasal surgery can improve various functional and aesthetic issues of the nose.
Neck Lift
The neck area is one of the regions that is most noticeably affected by aging. It develops loose and wrinkled skin and excess fat over time. A neck lift treats these issues.
Otoplasty
When it comes to correcting ear issues such as prominent or protruding ears, ear surgery is the recommended solution.

What Can I Expect During a Consultation for Facial Plastic Surgery?
During a consultation, you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns with the surgeon.

This is also an opportunity to ask questions and address any doubts you may have.
How Much Does Facial Plastic Surgery Cost?
The cost of facial plastic surgery varies widely depending on the procedure, surgeon’s fees, facility fees, and geographical location. It’s essential to obtain detailed cost estimates during your consultations and discuss financing options if needed.
