Redefining Masculinity: The Rise of Male Rhinoplasty
Modern masculinity embraces self-improvement and confidence-building in all forms. Today’s men understand that taking care of their appearance isn’t vanity—it’s an investment in their personal and professional success. Male rhinoplasty has emerged as one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures for men, offering transformative results that enhance masculine features while maintaining natural strength and character.
Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS, brings over two decades of specialized expertise in male rhinoplasty to his Manhattan practice. As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Miller understands the unique anatomical considerations and aesthetic goals that distinguish male nose surgery from female procedures.
The masculine difference: Why male rhinoplasty requires specialized expertise
Male rhinoplasty demands a fundamentally different approach than female nose surgery. Men’s noses possess distinct characteristics that must be preserved and enhanced rather than feminized. Understanding these differences is crucial for achieving results that look natural and maintain masculine appeal.
Structural considerations for male noses
Men typically have larger, more prominent nasal structures with stronger cartilage and thicker skin. The ideal male nose maintains a straight or slightly convex profile, avoiding the scooped or overly refined appearance that works well for women but appears unnatural on men. The nasal tip should project confidently without appearing delicate or upturned.
Preserving masculine strength
The goal of male rhinoplasty isn’t to create a small, delicate nose but rather to refine and balance existing features while maintaining inherent strength. Dr. Miller’s approach focuses on removing imperfections—such as bumps, asymmetries, or breathing obstructions—while preserving the masculine character that defines a strong male profile.
Proportional harmony with facial features
Men’s faces typically feature more angular jawlines, broader foreheads, and stronger brow ridges. The nose must complement these masculine features rather than compete with them. A successful male rhinoplasty creates harmony between all facial elements, ensuring the nose enhances rather than detracts from overall masculine appeal.
Common concerns addressed by male rhinoplasty
Men seek rhinoplasty for various reasons, many related to both aesthetic improvement and functional enhancement. Understanding these motivations helps create targeted treatment plans that address specific masculine concerns.
Dorsal hump reduction
Many men develop prominent bumps along the nasal bridge, often from sports injuries or genetics. While some men embrace this rugged characteristic, others prefer a smoother profile that projects confidence without aggression. Dr. Miller’s technique removes excess bone and cartilage while maintaining a strong, straight line that complements masculine features.
Nasal tip refinement
Bulbous or drooping nasal tips can create an aged or tired appearance. Male rhinoplasty can refine the tip while maintaining appropriate projection and avoiding the upturned look that appears feminine. The goal is to create definition without sacrificing strength or character.
Breathing improvement
Functional rhinoplasty addresses structural issues that impair breathing, such as deviated septums or enlarged turbinates. Many men discover that improving nasal function enhances athletic performance, reduces sleep disturbances, and increases overall quality of life. Dr. Miller combines functional improvements with aesthetic enhancements for comprehensive results.
Injury correction
Sports injuries, accidents, or childhood trauma can create nasal deformities that affect both appearance and function. Reconstructive rhinoplasty restores proper nasal structure while improving aesthetic appeal. These procedures often require advanced techniques to address complex deformities while maintaining masculine characteristics.
Ethnic rhinoplasty considerations
Men from diverse ethnic backgrounds may seek rhinoplasty that enhances their features while preserving cultural identity. Dr. Miller’s expertise in ethnic rhinoplasty ensures results that honor individual heritage while achieving desired improvements. The focus remains on refinement rather than complete transformation.
Advanced techniques for superior male rhinoplasty results
Dr. Miller employs cutting-edge techniques specifically adapted for male anatomy and aesthetic goals. These advanced approaches minimize downtime while maximizing results, allowing busy professionals to return to their routines quickly.
Closed vs. open rhinoplasty approaches
The choice between closed and open rhinoplasty depends on the complexity of changes needed. Closed rhinoplasty, performed entirely through internal incisions, can be completed without visible scarring. Open rhinoplasty provides greater surgical access for complex cases but requires a small incision across the columella, which is not visible once healed. Dr. Miller selects the optimal approach based on individual needs and desired outcomes.
MicroRhinoplasty™ for targeted dorsal refinement
For men seeking subtle refinement of their nasal bridge contour without extensive surgery, Dr. Miller offers his innovative MicroRhinoplasty™ technique. This specialized 15-minute procedure uses an air-powered microsaw to precisely reduce bony humps layer by layer through a small nostril incision. Performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime, MicroRhinoplasty™ allows men to return to work within a day while achieving natural-looking dorsal refinement that maintains masculine strength.
Preservation rhinoplasty
Rather than completely restructuring the nose, preservation techniques maintain the natural dorsal line while making subtle improvements. This approach is ideal for men who want refinement without dramatic change, preserving the strong masculine profile while eliminating specific imperfections.
Computer imaging and surgical planning
Dr. Miller uses advanced 3D imaging technology to show patients potential results before surgery. This visualization helps ensure realistic expectations and allows for precise surgical planning. Men can see how proposed changes will enhance their masculine features while maintaining natural appearance.
The male rhinoplasty experience: What to expect
Understanding the rhinoplasty process helps men make informed decisions about their procedure. Dr. Miller’s comprehensive approach ensures each patient receives personalized care from consultation through recovery.
Initial consultation and assessment
During your consultation, Dr. Miller evaluates your nasal structure, discusses your goals, and explains realistic outcomes. He considers your facial proportions, skin thickness, and healing characteristics to create a customized surgical plan. The consultation includes computer imaging to visualize potential results and ensure alignment with your expectations.
Surgical procedure details
Male rhinoplasty typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on complexity. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in Dr. Miller’s accredited surgical facility. Advanced techniques minimize tissue trauma, reducing post-operative discomfort and accelerating recovery.
Recovery timeline for busy professionals
Most men return to desk work within a week, though physical activity restrictions continue for several weeks. Initial swelling subsides within 10-14 days, allowing return to social and professional activities. Complete healing takes several months, with final results visible after one year.
Managing expectations during healing
Male noses often take longer to heal due to thicker skin and stronger cartilage. Patience during the healing process is essential for achieving optimal results. Dr. Miller provides detailed post-operative instructions and closely monitors progress to ensure proper healing.
Combining procedures for comprehensive enhancement
Many men choose to combine rhinoplasty with other facial procedures for comprehensive improvement. These combination approaches can be more efficient and cost-effective than staging separate procedures.
Rhinoplasty with chin augmentation
Balancing the nose with chin enhancement creates ideal facial proportions. A stronger chin can make the nose appear smaller, while a refined nose can enhance chin projection. This combination is particularly effective for men with weak chin projection or prominent noses.
Simultaneous septoplasty
Combining cosmetic rhinoplasty with functional septoplasty addresses both aesthetic and breathing concerns in a single procedure. This approach is ideal for men with deviated septums who also desire cosmetic improvements.
Non-surgical enhancements
Injectable treatments can complement surgical results or provide temporary improvements for men considering future surgery. Dermal fillers can smooth minor irregularities or enhance chin projection, while neuromodulators address dynamic wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.
Recovery and long-term results
Successful recovery requires following post-operative instructions and allowing adequate healing time. Dr. Miller’s comprehensive aftercare program ensures optimal results and patient satisfaction.
Immediate post-operative care
The first 48 hours after surgery are crucial for proper healing. Patients receive detailed instructions for managing discomfort, reducing swelling, and protecting the surgical site. Dr. Miller’s team provides 24-hour support during this critical period.
Returning to normal activities
Most men return to work within a week, though heavy lifting and strenuous exercise must be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Contact sports should be avoided for at least three months to protect the healing nose from injury.
Long-term maintenance
Rhinoplasty results are permanent, though natural aging continues. Protecting the nose from sun exposure and injury helps maintain optimal appearance. Most men find their confidence increases significantly as final results become apparent.

Facelifts and Micro (Mini) Facelifts: Refresh Your Appearance Naturally
Aging is a natural process—but that doesn’t mean you have to live with sagging skin, jowls, or deep facial folds if they don’t reflect how you feel on the inside. A facelift remains one of the most effective ways to restore youthful contours, while the signature MicroLift Face procedure—a specialized micro facelift technique developed by Dr. Miller himself—offers a more subtle but still transformative option for earlier signs of aging. With the right surgeon, both procedures can deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results.
In this guide, we’ll explore the key differences between a full facelift and the MicroLift Face procedure, who makes a good candidate for each, and what to expect from recovery and results. Whether you’re ready for a dramatic refresh or just want to turn back the clock a few years, Dr. Philip Miller’s facial rejuvenation techniques can help you rediscover your confidence.
Full Facelift vs. MicroLift Face: What’s the Difference?
A full facelift targets more advanced signs of aging by lifting and repositioning deeper tissues throughout the mid and lower face, along with tightening excess skin. It can dramatically improve sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, jowls, and neck laxity. The MicroLift Face technique, Dr. Miller’s innovative approach to the micro facelift, is a less invasive procedure designed for patients with earlier signs of facial aging. It typically focuses on the lower third of the face (especially the jawline and jowls) using smaller incisions and less extensive tissue repositioning.
| Procedure | Best For | Downtime | Incisions | Longevity |
| Facelift | Moderate to advanced aging | 2–4 weeks | Around the ears | 10+ years |
| MicroLift Face | Mild to moderate aging (20s–50s) | 1–2 weeks | Smaller, discreet | ~5–7 years |

The Natural Approach: Dr. Miller’s Signature Techniques in New York City
Dr. Miller takes a unique, personalized approach to every facelift and MicroLift Face procedure, prioritizing natural, harmonious results over a “pulled” or overdone appearance. His NatraLook process ensures your results align with your aesthetic vision and your emotional goals. He also uses the Unified Vision™ approach to assess the entire face and create balance between all its features.
For full facelifts, Dr. Miller strategically repositions deeper layers of facial tissue—not just skin—to restore youthful structure. In MicroLift Face procedures, he uses refined, minimally invasive techniques to provide lift with less downtime and scarring. In both cases, his goal is the same: to help you look refreshed, not different.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
You might be a candidate for a facelift if:
- You’re experiencing significant facial aging (deep folds, jowls, or neck sagging)
- You’re in good overall health and can undergo general anesthesia
- You want long-lasting, comprehensive facial rejuvenation
You might be a better candidate for a MicroLift Face if:
- You have mild to moderate skin laxity, primarily in the lower face
- You’re looking for a subtle lift with less downtime
- You’re in your 20s to 50s and not yet ready for a full facelift
Not sure which is right for you? Dr. Miller will evaluate your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle during your consultation to recommend the ideal treatment.
Recovery and Results
Facelift Recovery: Most patients need about 2 to 4 weeks of downtime. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common at first but gradually resolve. Final results typically appear around 3 months post-op and can last a decade or longer.
MicroLift Face Recovery: Because the procedure is less invasive, patients often return to work or social activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Results are visible sooner and look more subtle, but still offer a noticeable improvement in jawline definition and skin tightness.
In both cases, results continue to improve as swelling subsides. Dr. Miller provides detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to support a smooth, successful recovery.
Planning Your Procedure
A micro facelift typically requires less surgical time and resources than a traditional facelift, which is reflected in the overall investment. The final cost varies based on several factors including procedure complexity, surgical facility, and type of anesthesia used.
During your personal consultation with Dr. Miller, you’ll receive a customized treatment plan along with a detailed breakdown of all associated costs. This individualized approach ensures transparency and helps you make an informed decision about your aesthetic journey.
Dr. Miller understands the importance of making these procedures accessible and offers flexible financing options through CareCredit and Alphaeon, allowing you to invest in your appearance with confidence and convenience.

Mommy Makeovers for the Face: Natural Rejuvenation for Every Mom
Motherhood brings joy and fulfillment, and every mom deserves to look as vibrant as she feels. While traditional mommy makeovers focus on body contouring, facial rejuvenation procedures can help mothers restore their natural radiance and confidence. Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS, offers comprehensive facial rejuvenation options at his Manhattan practice, combining both surgical and non-surgical approaches for natural-looking results that enhance your best features.
Surgical solutions for comprehensive rejuvenation
For mothers seeking dramatic, long-lasting improvements, surgical procedures offer the most comprehensive results. Dr. Miller specializes in creating natural-looking outcomes that enhance rather than alter facial features.
The MicroLift for busy mothers
The MicroLift represents an ideal solution for mothers who want facial rejuvenation without extensive downtime. This minimally invasive procedure mimics the effect of pulling hair back in a ponytail, lifting the mid-face, and improving definition. Performed under local anesthesia in less than an hour, mothers can return to their routines within days rather than weeks.
Traditional facelift procedures
For more comprehensive rejuvenation, a traditional facelift addresses multiple areas simultaneously. Dr. Miller’s technique focuses on repositioning deeper tissues rather than simply pulling skin tight, creating results that look refreshed rather than operated. The procedure can address sagging cheeks, jowls, and neck laxity in a single surgery.
Neck lift for targeted improvement
Many mothers focus primarily on neck changes that occur after pregnancy. A neck lift specifically targets loose skin, muscle bands, and excess fat deposits under the chin. This procedure can be performed alone or combined with other facial surgeries for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
Upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures address the tired appearance that plagues many mothers. Upper lid surgery removes excess skin that can hood the eyes, while lower lid procedures eliminate bags and tighten loose skin. The result is a more alert, rested appearance that reflects how mothers feel inside.
Non-surgical options for gradual improvement
Not every mother needs or wants surgery. Dr. Miller offers numerous non-surgical treatments that can create significant improvements with minimal downtime.
Injectable neuromodulators
Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® effectively treat dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. These injectable treatments can smooth forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. Results typically last 3-4 months and require no downtime.
Dermal fillers for volume restoration
Lost facial volume can be replaced using hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm® and Voluma®. These injectable gels restore fullness to cheeks, smooth nasolabial folds, and enhance lip volume. Strategic placement can even provide a subtle lifting effect without surgery.
RHA fillers for dynamic areas
The newest generation of dermal fillers, RHA collection, is specifically designed for areas of facial movement. These resilient hyaluronic acid fillers maintain their shape while allowing natural facial expressions, making them ideal for treating smile lines and other dynamic areas.
Kybella® for double chin reduction
For mothers bothered by stubborn fat under the chin, Kybella offers a non-surgical solution. This injectable treatment permanently destroys fat cells, creating a more defined jawline without surgery. Multiple treatments may be needed for optimal results.
Laser treatments for skin rejuvenation
CO2 laser resurfacing and Fractora treatments address skin texture, tone, and fine lines. These procedures stimulate collagen production, improving overall skin quality. While some downtime is required, results can be dramatic and long-lasting.
Combination approaches for optimal results
Many mothers benefit from combining procedures to address multiple concerns efficiently. Popular combinations include:
- MicroLift with non-surgical eye rejuvenation
- Facelift with eyelid surgery and laser resurfacing
- Neck lift with Kybella for comprehensive lower face improvement
- Injectable treatments combined with laser therapy
Dr. Miller’s NatraLook® process ensures each treatment plan is customized to individual needs and goals.
Special considerations for mothers
Timing procedures around childcare responsibilities requires careful planning. Non-surgical treatments offer immediate return to activities, while surgical procedures require arrangements for help during recovery. Dr. Miller’s team works with mothers to create realistic treatment timelines that accommodate family obligations.
Many mothers choose to wait until they’ve completed their families before pursuing surgical options, as future pregnancies won’t reverse facial procedures but may impact overall results. Non-surgical treatments can maintain appearance during childbearing years, with surgery reserved for more comprehensive rejuvenation later.
Recovery and results
Recovery varies significantly between procedures. Non-surgical treatments typically allow immediate return to normal activities, though some temporary swelling or bruising may occur. The MicroLift requires just a few days of recovery, while traditional facelifts need 10-14 days before returning to public activities.
Results from surgical procedures are long-lasting, though natural aging continues. Non-surgical treatments require periodic maintenance but offer flexibility for busy mothers who can’t commit to extended recovery periods.
Contact our office in New York City to schedule a consultation and learn which facial rejuvenation options best suit your needs. Whether you prefer surgical transformation or gradual improvement through non-surgical treatments, Dr. Miller’s expertise can help you achieve the refreshed appearance that reflects your inner vitality.
Microsurgeries: Natural-Looking Results, Less Downtime
Are you ready to upgrade your appearance but wary of the pain, downtime, and scarring associated with traditional cosmetic surgery? Microsurgeries have emerged as a less invasive path to achieving your desired aesthetic improvements.
These innovative techniques deliver a more refined and targeted approach to addressing specific aesthetic concerns. Let’s break down what microsurgeries are and how they can help you achieve natural-looking results without the drawbacks of traditional techniques.
What Are Microsurgeries?
Microsurgeries use specialized instruments and magnification to perform intricate surgical procedures through small incisions. By minimizing tissue disruption and focusing on precision, microsurgeries can achieve remarkable results with reduced scarring, swelling, and bruising compared to traditional surgical methods.
Benefits of Microsurgeries
Microsurgeries offer several benefits compared to traditional techniques, including:
- Shorter Recovery Time. Most patients experience less post-operative discomfort and can return to normal activities more quickly compared to traditional surgeries.
- Natural-Looking Results. Microsurgeries allow for subtle, targeted improvements that enhance a patient’s unique features without drastically altering their appearance.
- Reduced Scarring. Small incisions result in minimal scarring, which tends to fade over time and become less noticeable.
- Targeted Improvements. Surgeons can focus on very specific areas of concern, addressing them with precision and finesse to achieve the desired aesthetic improvements.
Types of Microsurgeries
Microsurgeries offer a wide range of applications in cosmetic enhancements. Some of the most popular procedures that Dr. Miller offers include:
MicroRhinoplasty
This technique focuses on making precise adjustments to the nose to improve symmetry and overall appearance. Small incisions and specialized instruments can refine the nasal structure with minimal downtime.
Microlift-Face
Designed to address sagging and loss of volume in the midface area, the Microlift Face procedure involves making small incisions to lift and tighten the tissues. This approach provides a more youthful and refreshed appearance without the extensive recovery associated with traditional facelifts.
Microlift-Jaw
For those seeking a more defined and contoured jawline, the Microlift Jaw technique offers an effective solution. Making incisions behind the ears skillfully repositions and sculpts the tissues to enhance the jawline’s appearance.
Microlift-Neck
The neck often shows signs of aging, such as sagging skin and loss of elasticity. The Microlift Neck procedure addresses these concerns by lifting and tightening the neck tissues through small incisions behind the ear, resulting in a more youthful and refined neck contour.

Book Your Microsurgeries Consultation
While microsurgeries offer numerous benefits, they still require the skill and expertise of a qualified and experienced surgeon.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your aesthetic journey, book a consultation with double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS.

The Complete Guide to Neck Lift Cost in 2025 in NYC: Everything You Need to Know
A neck lift remains one of the most effective, long-lasting solutions to revitalize aging skin and restore a youthful, confident appearance. Determining the cost of this procedure is one of the first steps toward complete rejuvenation. In 2025, the average cost of neck lift procedures in New York City is a significant consideration for those seeking to enhance their appearance. This comprehensive guide will explore the average cost of various types of neck lifts and how they compare to previous years. We should also mention that these prices reflect national and local averages and do not necessarily match what you will see in our office. These treatments have a lot of variability, so you should consult with our doctor first.
Average Cost of Neck Lift Procedures in 2025
Average Cost of a Traditional Neck Lift in New York in 2025
Although not our specific prices, the average cost of a traditional neck lift in New York City in 2025 typically ranges from $15,000 to $70,000. However, it’s important to note that these figures can fluctuate due to various influencing factors. The price may be influenced by the surgeon’s level of expertise, the intricacy of the procedure, the geographical location of the practice, and the amenities offered.
Average Cost of a Mini Neck Lift in New York in 2025
The mini neck lift emerges as a compelling alternative for those seeking a less invasive option. In 2025, in New York City, individuals can expect to invest around $7,000 to $15,000 for a mini neck lift. This option often proves more economical than the traditional neck lift, primarily due to its streamlined procedure and reduced surgical duration. Dr. Miller’s proprietary MyEllevate procedure is a minimally invasive rival to a traditional mini neck lift, allowing patients to achieve dramatic results without general anesthesia or extensive downtime.
Average Cost of a Non-Surgical Neck Lift in New York in 2025
A non-surgical neck lift, also known as liquid neck lift, involves injectables and other non-invasive techniques rather than traditional surgery. While results are long-lasting, they’re still temporary. As a result, the average cost of a non-surgical neck lift in New York City hovers around $2,000 to $7,000—significantly less expensive than surgery, but also more frequent upkeep. This price range does not necessarily match our options because cost can vary based on the types and number of treatments used.
At his office, Dr. Miller also offers Neck-Tite™, which uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to rejuvenate the neck and jowls which also influences the potential price range.
Average Cost of Neck Liposuction in New York in 2025
Neck liposuction, a procedure to remove excess fat in the neck area, is another option for those looking to rejuvenate their neck appearance. The average cost of neck liposuction in New York City in 2025 ranges from $4,000 to $9,000. The cost may be influenced by factors such as the surgeon’s expertise and the extent of liposuction needed.

The cost of a neck lift procedure consists of several elements, including:
- Surgeon’s fee. This fee includes the expertise and proficiency of the surgeon conducting the procedure. Surgeon fees may fluctuate based on their reputation, qualifications, and years of experience.

- Type of neck lift. Different neck lift techniques, such as traditional neck lifts, mini neck lifts, non-surgical neck lifts, and neck liposuction, come with varying costs.

Some additional costs to consider for a neck lift procedure include:

Facing the Future: Choosing Between Non-Surgical and Surgical Facelifts
Non-Surgical Facelifts
What Are Non-Surgical Facelifts?
Non-surgical facelifts are procedures designed to give your face a more youthful and refreshed look without invasive surgery. These treatments are the top choice for those who wish to address the tell-tale signs of aging — like fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of skin elasticity — but aren’t ready to commit to the scalpel.
Common Techniques and Technologies Used
Non-surgical facelifts include many techniques, including:
- Dermal Fillers: These injectables restore volume and reduce wrinkles.
- Botox: This neuromodulator temporarily paralyzes muscles to smooth out fine lines.
- Laser Treatments: These treatments use laser energy to improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality.
- Microneedling: Also called collagen induction therapy, this treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin to repair damage and improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and other skin concerns.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Facelifts
Non-surgical facelifts offer several advantages:
- Minimal Downtime: Patients can often return to daily activities immediately.
- Lower Risk: These procedures have fewer risks compared to surgical alternatives.
- Immediate Results: Many treatments provide instant improvements.
- Subtle and Natural-Looking Effects: Non-surgical methods often provide more subtle and natural-looking outcomes. This makes them ideal for individuals seeking enhancement without a drastic change in appearance.
- Customizable Treatments: The versatility of non-surgical procedures allows for a highly tailored approach to facial rejuvenation.
- Lower Overall Cost: These procedures are generally more affordable than surgical facelifts.
Limitations of Non-Surgical Facelifts
However, there are limitations:
- Temporary Results: These treatments often require ongoing maintenance.
- Subtler Changes: They may not address extensive sagging or deep wrinkles effectively.
- Limited Scope: These treatments are often focused on specific areas and may not provide the comprehensive facial rejuvenation some patients seek.
- Variability in Results: The effectiveness of non-surgical facelifts can vary greatly depending on the individual’s skin type, age, and the specific treatment used. This variability means that some patients may not achieve their desired results.
Duration of Results
The results typically last from several months to about two years, varying based on the treatment type and individual patient factors.
Popular Non-Surgical Procedures
Procedures such as the liquid facelift and laser skin resurfacing are in high demand due to their effectiveness and minimal invasiveness.
Surgical Facelifts
Varieties of Surgical Facelift Techniques
Surgical facelifts come in different types, each targeting specific aging concerns:
- Traditional Facelift: This classic technique is ideal for addressing moderate to severe sagging. It involves repositioning and tightening deeper tissues and removing excess skin, dramatically rejuvenating the face.
- Deep Plane Facelift: This approach goes deeper than a traditional facelift, targeting the deeper layers of facial structure. It provides a more comprehensive lift, particularly for those with pronounced facial aging.
- MicroLift: For those showing early signs of aging or seeking less invasive options, the MicroLift is an ideal choice. It’s a less extensive procedure, focusing on subtle lifting and tightening with minimal scarring and downtime.
- Revision Facelift: A revision facelift is designed for individuals who have undergone a previous facelift but seek further improvements or corrections. This technique requires a high level of skill and precision as it deals with changes made during the initial surgery and aims to refine or enhance the previous results.
Benefits of Surgical Facelifts
These procedures offer transformative results:
- Long-lasting Effects: Results can last up to a decade or more.
- Comprehensive Rejuvenation: Surgical facelifts can effectively address significant aging signs.
- Improved Facial Contours: Surgical facelifts can dramatically improve the contours of the face, restoring a more youthful and natural facial structure.
- Customizable to Individual Needs: Dr. Miller can tailor surgical facelifts to meet each patient’s specific needs and goals, allowing for a personalized approach to facial rejuvenation.
- One-Time Procedure: Unlike non-surgical options that require regular maintenance, a surgical facelift is generally a one-time procedure, eliminating the need for frequent treatments.
- Potential for Greater Satisfaction: Due to the dramatic and lasting results, many patients report higher satisfaction with surgical facelifts compared to non-surgical alternatives.
Longevity of Results
Surgical facelifts last for 10 years or more, making them a long-term investment in facial aesthetics.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgery, there are risks such as scarring, infection, and reactions to anesthesia.
Common Surgical Risks and Complications
Potential complications include hematoma, nerve injury, and asymmetry, although they are rare with experienced surgeons like Dr. Miller.
Recovery Time and Post-operative Care

Which one is right for you?
Age and Skin Type Considerations
Your choice depends on various factors, including age, skin elasticity, and the extent of aging. Younger patients with mild signs of aging might prefer non-surgical options, while older patients with more pronounced sagging could benefit from surgical procedures.
Personal Goals and Expectations
Understanding your aesthetic goals is crucial. Non-surgical treatments offer subtle, temporary improvements, while surgical facelifts provide more dramatic, long-term changes.
Comparative Costs: Non-Surgical vs. Surgical
In New York City, non-surgical treatments generally cost less but may require repeated sessions. Surgical facelifts, while more expensive initially, offer long-term results, potentially making them more cost-effective over time.

Enhancing Neck Lift Results: The Significance of the Submandibular Gland
To optimize your neck lift results, your surgeon may recommend a submandibular gland reduction or removal. Submandibular gland removal in the lower jaw ensures more successful aesthetic contouring of the neck and jawline.
Submandibular gland removal is a rare neck lift surgical technique that only a handful of skilled surgeons can do. Below, we explain what submandibular gland removal entails and why Dr. Miller performs it.
Understanding Submandibular Gland Removal in Neck Lifts
As we age, the submandibular gland may become displaced and enlarged, creating a bulge in the neck. This can create the appearance of fullness in the lower face or what is more commonly known as a double chin.
After a facelift, microlift, or neck lift, when fat and excess tissue that previously hid the submandibular gland is removed, the protruding glands become more noticeable. It contributes to the fullness of the chin and a less-than-refined-looking jawline and neckline.
Submandibular gland removal ensures there is no visible bulge under the jawline that can affect your neck lift results.
The Role of the Submandibular Gland
The submandibular gland is the second-largest salivary gland in the lower jaw. Its main function is to produce saliva that lubricates the mouth and helps with oral hygiene, chewing, and digestion. Removal of the submandibular gland should not inhibit daily life long-term when done properly.
The Need for Submandibular Gland Removal in Neck Lifts
Typically, a neck lift involves removing excess skin and tightening loose neck muscles. Submandibular gland removal goes a step further in manipulating the deeper layers of the face. By ensuring there won’t be a visible and prominent bulge after a neck lift, submandibular gland removal produces more predictable results and achieves a more defined youthful contour in the jawline and neck.
The Rarity of the Procedure
Correcting or removing the submandibular gland is a challenging, high-risk procedure that, when not executed properly, may inhibit saliva flow. Other complications may include nerve bruising or damage, making the surgical technique a rare procedure only skilled and experienced surgeons can successfully perform.
How Dr. Miller Utilizes Submandibular Gland Removal in Neck Lift Surgery
Dr. Miller utilizes submandibular gland removal as a valuable complement to a neck lift surgery to comprehensively rejuvenate the neck and jawline.
He makes an incision about 2-3 cm long in the crease below the jaw, then locates the salivary gland. It is reduced or removed entirely, and the incision is closed with sutures.
The procedure is safe, especially when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Miller.
The Benefits and Results of Submandibular Gland Removal in Neck Lifts
Submandibular gland reduction or removal is an effective tool in aesthetic neck contouring. Because the gland is permanently excised, it produces longer-lasting results. It is an added surgical step that ensures a more defined jawline while reducing the need for revision surgeries. Patients enjoy the natural outcome of their more youthful-looking neck and jawline.

Submandibular gland removal requires advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and surgical expertise, but it can be performed safely to yield the neck rejuvenation results you desire.

The Advantages of Using Customized Facial Implants
Facial plastic surgery has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, enabling surgeons to provide patients with personalized and precise solutions. One such advancement is the utilization of customized facial implants. These implants are designed specifically for an individual’s unique facial structure, offering a range of advantages over traditional, non-customized implants. When making the decision to enhance the appearance of your chin, jaw, or cheeks, it’s important to know the benefits of opting for customized facial implants and how they can enhance both aesthetics and functionality.
Personalized Fit:
Customized facial implants revolutionize the field of facial plastic surgery by providing patients with a personalized fit. Surgeons employ state-of-the-art imaging technology, including 3D scanning and computer-aided design (CAD), to create implants that conform precisely to the patient’s facial anatomy. This personalized fit ensures a more natural and harmonious result, as the implant seamlessly integrates with the patient’s existing facial features.
Enhanced Aesthetics:
The key advantage of customized facial implants lies in their ability to deliver superior aesthetic outcomes. By tailoring the implant to the patient’s specific facial features, facial plastic surgeons can address asymmetries, irregularities, or deficiencies with unparalleled accuracy. Whether it is enhancing cheekbones, defining the jawline, or augmenting the chin, customized implants offer a solution that harmonizes with the patient’s unique facial structure. The result is a more balanced and pleasing appearance that reflects the patient’s desired aesthetic goals.
Improved Functionality:
Customized facial implants not only enhance aesthetics but also improve functionality. These implants can be designed to provide structural support to weakened or deficient areas of the face. For example, patients with breathing difficulties, chewing problems, or speech impediments due to facial structure deficiencies can benefit from customized implants. By precisely addressing these functional concerns, patients can experience improved breathing, easier chewing, or clearer speech.
Reduced Risk of Complications:
One of the significant advantages of customized facial implants is the reduced risk of complications compared to ill-fitting or improperly sized implants. The precise fit achieved through advanced imaging and surgical planning significantly minimizes the risk of implant displacement, shifting, or discomfort. By ensuring a more secure and accurate placement, customized implants contribute to a more predictable and successful surgical outcome. Patients can feel more confident about the long-term stability and comfort of their implants.
Minimally Invasive Procedure:
Customized facial implants also facilitate minimally invasive procedures in many cases. Surgeons can place these implants through smaller incisions or utilize minimally invasive techniques, thereby reducing scarring and shortening the recovery time. Advanced imaging and surgical planning enable surgeons to execute procedures with greater precision, minimizing surgical trauma. This means patients can enjoy the benefits of customized implants while experiencing a smoother and quicker recovery process.
Consultation with a Qualified Surgeon:
The decision to opt for customized facial implants should always be made in consultation with a qualified and experienced facial plastic surgeon. During your consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your specific needs, discuss the advantages, potential risks, and realistic expectations associated with customized implants. They will guide you through the decision-making process and help determine whether customized implants are the right choice for you.

How to Make Your Face Less Flat? 6 Surgical and Non-surgical Options
Having a flat face can be a challenge for many people. Fortunately, many surgical and non-surgical procedures and treatments can help you achieve the facial shape you desire, from providing a subtle enhancement to a dramatic transformation.
What Does it Mean to Have a Flat Face?
A flat face can be defined as a face with little to no definition or with no prominent curves or angles. A flat face can be due to genetics or age, and the lack of definition can result in a face that appears dull and uncharacteristic. It could mean the forehead, cheeks, and chin are all of the same height. This can give the impression of having a shorter face and can make it challenging to achieve a more sculpted look. Many treatments can help to give your flat face more dimension and contouring, including fillers, Botox and other injectables, and surgical procedures.
What Causes a Flat Side Profile?
A flat face can be attributed to aging, genetics, or lifestyle habits. Aging can cause a lack of definition in the face due to decreased collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are two key proteins our body produces that are responsible for giving the skin its structure and definition. As we age, the production of these proteins decreases and can result in sunken cheeks and sagging skin, making the face appear flat. While there is no way to reverse the natural decrease in production, there are treatments that can stimulate collagen and elastin production and reduce the appearance of a flat face.
Genetics can also play a role, as genes in our DNA are responsible for bone structure and facial characteristics, leaving some people with a sunken cheekbone for a flat-looking face. Lifestyle habits like smoking or excessive sun exposure can also contribute to a flat face as they can cause the skin to lose elasticity.
Surgical Options for Flat Face Reshaping
Surgical options are available to reshape the face for a dramatic change. Facial contouring surgeries are designed to contour and create a more aesthetically pleasing look. These procedures typically involve reshaping the underlying facial structure with implants or removing excess fat, skin, or bone. These surgeries can create more pronounced cheekbones and a stronger chin, which can help to give a more defined and contoured look to a flat face. Some surgical options include:
- Facelift: A facelift tightens and lifts the skin around the face and neck to provide a more youthful and sculpted look. It can help to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin, while giving the face more definition. This surgery can provide a dramatic transformation and is ideal for achieving a more balanced and contoured facial shape. Different types of facelifts, like mini facelifts or deep plane facelifts, can meet your unique needs.
- Cheek and chin augmentation: Chin augmentation is a procedure that reshapes the chin by using a synthetic implant to create a more prominent chin. This can help to define the face, add symmetry, and create a more balanced facial shape. Cheek augmentation is similar but is used to create more volume and definition in the cheeks.
- Facial fat grafting: Facial fat grafting is another option for those looking to add definition and contour to their face. This procedure involves taking fat from one part of the body and injecting it into areas of the face to create more volume and definition.
Non-surgical Options for Flat Face Reshaping
There are also non-surgical options for those who want to contour their face without anesthesia and significant downtime. Many patients can return to normal activities immediately after a treatment session with minimal signs of a cosmetic procedure. Non-surgical treatments for a flat face can include:
- Dermal fillers: Fillers are injected into areas of the face lacking volume, like the cheeks and chin. They provide immediate and long-lasting results and can help to create a more chiseled and defined look to a flat face. Many dermal fillers, like Juvederm®, are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin.
- Liquid facelift: A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure that combines dermal fillers and neuromodulators like Botox® to contour and define the face. This procedure can help to create a more balanced shape, reducing any flatness.
- PDO thread lift: A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses medical-grade absorbable threads to lift and contour the face. The threads are inserted under the skin, which helps to lift sagging skin and add definition to the face.
