At Contemporary Plastic Surgery in Red Bank, New Jersey, under the expert hands of Dr. Robert Herbstman, achieving your desired aesthetic transformation is within reach. If you’re considering a facelift treatment to rejuvenate your appearance, look no further. Here’s everything you need to know:
Understanding Face Lifting Treatment: A facelift, medically termed rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to diminish noticeable signs of aging on the face and neck. This procedure entails elevating and firming the underlying tissues while eliminating excess skin to achieve a smoother, more youthful visage.
Types of Face Lifting Procedures: There are various types of face lifting procedures tailored to address specific concerns:
Traditional facelift: Targets the lower face, jawline, and neck
Mini facelift (Short Scar): Addresses early signs of aging with less extensive surgery
Mid-facelift: Focuses on the midface region, including the cheeks and under-eye area
Neck lift: Targets sagging skin and muscle laxity in the neck area

Dr. Herbstman will assess your individual needs and recommend the most suitable procedure for you.
Ideal Candidates for Face Lifting: Good candidates for face lifting treatment are individuals with realistic expectations who are in good overall health and have specific areas of concern related to facial aging, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or loss of facial volume.
The Face Lifting Process: The face lifting process typically involves several stages, including consultation, pre-operative preparation, surgery, and recovery. During the procedure, Dr. Herbstman will make incisions in strategic locations, lift and reposition underlying tissues, remove excess skin, and meticulously close the incisions with sutures.
Recovery and Results: After face lifting treatment, you can expect some bruising, swelling, and discomfort, which can be minimized with medication and proper pre and post-operative care. Most patients can resume routine activities within 10 – 14 days, although full recovery may take a couple of months. The final results of your facelift will gradually become apparent as swelling subsides, revealing a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Maintaining Results: While face lifting treatment can turn back the clock on facial aging, it’s essential to maintain your results with a healthy lifestyle and skincare regimen. Protect your skin from sun damage, stay hydrated, and follow Dr. Herbstman’s recommendations for long-term maintenance.
Risks and Considerations: Like any surgical procedure, face lifting treatment carries potential risks and complications, including infection, scarring, and nerve damage. However, with a skilled surgeon like Dr. Herbstman and proper pre-operative evaluation and post-operative care these risks can be minimized.
