FACIAL TREATMENTS & PROCEDURES

Aging shows first around the eyes. Next comes the deepening of the nasolabial folds, an occasional vertical line in the upper lip, horizontal forehead lines and so on. Dr. Imber, board-certified plastic surgeon, offers a variety of surgical procedures at his New York City practice to help prevent, maintain, and correct visible signs of aging for men and women at every phase of life.

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.

It includes procedures like rhinoplasty (nose surgery), facelifts, eyelid surgery, and chin augmentation to improve aesthetics and correct various facial imperfections. 

Who can Benefit from Facial Plastic Surgery?

Facial plastic surgery is suitable for individuals who wish to enhance their facial features, address signs of aging, correct congenital defects, or improve facial function. Candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.

What Are the Most Common Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures?

Common procedures include facelifts to reduce sagging skin and wrinkles, rhinoplasty to reshape the nose, eyelid surgery to rejuvenate the eyes, and chin augmentation to improve facial balance. Non-surgical options like Botox and dermal fillers are also popular for facial rejuvenation.

Is Facial Plastic Surgery Safe?

When performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon in an accredited facility, facial plastic surgery is generally safe. However, like any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks and potential complications. It’s crucial to choose a board-certified surgeon and discuss your concerns thoroughly during the consultation.

How Long is the Recovery Period for Facial Plastic Surgery?

The recovery period varies depending on the specific procedure. Generally, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a few weeks. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a couple of weeks, but complete healing may take several months.

Are the Results of Facial Plastic Surgery Permanent?

While the results of facial surgery are intended to be long-lasting, various factors, including the type of procedure performed, individual aging, and lifestyle choices impact the longevity of results. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare regimen can help extend the results.

How Do I choose the Right Facial Plastic Surgeon?

It’s essential to research and select a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in the specific procedure you’re considering. Read reviews, check credentials, and schedule consultations to assess the surgeon’s qualifications and ensure you feel comfortable with them.

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. They will evaluate your facial anatomy, recommend suitable procedures, and explain the process, risks, and expected outcomes. 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.

Is There an Ideal Age for Facial Plastic Surgery?

There is no specific age for facial plastic surgery, as it depends on individual needs and goals. Consulting with a qualified surgeon that offers a range of options is the best way to determine the right timing for your specific concerns.Top of Form
