The changes that come along with aging can be troubling to many people. For many women and men, sagging skin or lines on the face can be visible signs of aging that are difficult to overlook. While many people pursue skincare regimens and the use of fillers and other treatments to ameliorate sagging skin, a facelift can be an excellent option to fully restore your youthful verve and facial beauty.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a popular aesthetic procedure that can restore the youthful appearance of your face. As an accomplished Manhattan board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Glasberg is also an artist. He is highly experienced in performing successful procedures that have won outstanding accolades from his satisfied clients.

Planning Your Procedure in New York

As a Manhattan facelift specialist, Dr. Glasberg wil recommend the procedure to produce the best results for your individualized care and facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Glasberg will perform the procedure on an outpatient basis; it takes approximately two hours. The choice of technique depends on Dr. Glasberg’s expertise in combination with your facial structure and desired outcomes. In a traditional procedure, an incision is made that allows deep facial tissue to be repositioned and excess skin to be removed. Dr. Glasberg always uses his artistic eye to ensure that the results of your procedure are fully natural and flexible.

A limited-incision procedure is another option, which allows for deep tissue to be repositioned with smaller incisions. In both cases, Dr. Glasberg closes the incisions with stitches or glue and incisions are carefully placed in the hairline and around the natural contours of the face.
