What is a facelift?
A facelift is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the face and neck. It involves lifting and tightening the skin, reducing wrinkles and sagging. By rejuvenating facial features, a facelift can help restore a more youthful and refreshed look, boosting self-confidence and enhancing your natural beauty.
What specific concerns can facelift address?
A facelift can address a range of specific concerns related to facial aging. It can effectively target sagging skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, and excess fat deposits in the face and neck area. By tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin, a facelift can provide a more youthful appearance, improved facial contours, and a reduction in visible signs of aging.
How long does a typical facelift procedure take, and what is the expected recovery time?
The length of a typical facelift procedure can vary depending on different factors, like the specific techniques used and the extent of the treatment. Generally, it takes around 3 to 5 hours. When it comes to recovery, it varies from person to person, but most people can expect a downtime of about 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, you’ll notice swelling and bruising gradually going away, and you can slowly get back to your normal activities as long as you follow the post-operative care instructions given to you by Dr. Miller.
How long do the results of a facelift typically last, and are there any maintenance treatments required to prolong the effects?
The results of a facelift typically last for several years, usually around 5 to 10 years. However, it’s important to remember that our face continues to age naturally over time. To keep the effects of the facelift lasting longer, some people choose to have maintenance treatments like injectables or laser treatments and follow a recommended skincare routine. These additional steps can help maintain and enhance the results of the facelift for a longer period. Please consult with Dr. Miller to receive personalized guidance on the best maintenance options.
What are the anesthesia options, and what is the expected level of discomfort during and after the surgery?
Depending on the type of facelift, anesthesia options include local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Local anesthesia with sedation allows you to be relaxed and comfortable during the surgery. General anesthesia ensures you are completely asleep. Dr. Miller uses local anesthesia for less invasive procedures like ponytail facelifts or mini-facelifts. For more invasive surgeries, he uses general anesthesia.
Discomfort during and after the surgery is generally minimal due to anesthesia and post-operative pain management. Dr. Miller takes measures to ensure your comfort throughout the process, making it a well-tolerated procedure for most individuals.
What types of facelifts does Dr. Miller offer?

What is the estimated cost of a facelift procedure, and does it include post-operative care?
On average, a facelift in New York may range from approximately $10,000 to $25,000. The cost of your procedure will be determined after a consultation with Dr. Miller and will depend on your specific needs. Dr. Miller’s facelift price includes post-op appointments for one year.
Will there be any visible scarring after the facelift? What measures do you take to minimize scarring or make it less noticeable?
When it comes to minimizing visible scarring after a facelift, Dr. Miller takes active steps to ensure the best results. The secret is to reduce any pulling or tightness along the incision line. During a facelift, there is often extra loose skin that needs to be addressed. Dr. Miller carefully trims away just the right amount of skin to get rid of any excess, but not too much that it puts stress on the incision. It’s like finding a balance between removing enough skin and not overdoing it, which could cause noticeable scarring.
To put it simply, the goal is to make your face look natural and fresh while keeping any scars as inconspicuous as possible. By being precise with the amount of skin removed and avoiding any tension during the closing process, Dr. Miller minimizes the chances of visible scarring.
