Facelift NYC: Your Expert Facelift in New York

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that lifts and repositions facial tissues to address the visible signs of aging. Over time, skin loses elasticity, fat volume shifts, and facial muscles weaken, leading to sagging, deep lines, and jowls. A facelift corrects these changes by lifting the underlying structure, removing excess skin, and redefining your natural contours.
Dr. Mourad offers a range of facelift options, from full facelifts that rejuvenate the entire face to mini facelifts focused on specific areas like the lower face or neck. Each surgery is personalized to fit your anatomy and your desired outcome.
 

Facial rejuvenation surgery restores the structure and tone that time can soften. A traditional facelift does more than smooth the skin; it repositions the deeper layers of the face to lift sagging cheeks, define the jawline, and reduce loose skin around the neck. The benefits include:

• Reduces sagging skin along the jawline and neck
• Restores firmness and definition to facial contours
• Softens deep creases and folds around the mouth and nose
• Lifts drooping cheeks for a more youthful appearance around the mid-face
• Improves skin tone and texture for a smoother complexion
• Enhances confidence and self-image with long-lasting results
• Provides natural-looking rejuvenation rather than an over-tightened look
• Can be combined with eyelid surgery or brow lift for full-face harmony

A facelift addresses several areas of facial aging by repositioning deep tissues, tightening muscles, and removing excess skin. Dr. Mourad uses advanced surgical techniques to create natural, long-lasting results specific to your needs. These are the most commonly improved areas:
Jowls As facial tissues shift downward with age, they can gather along the jawline and create a squared, heavy appearance. Dr. Mourad lifts and repositions the lower cheek structures to restore a smooth, more youthful contour.
Neck Banding Vertical lines or bands in the neck form when neck muscles pull tightly over time. By bringing these muscles together beneath the chin, Dr. Mourad creates a cleaner, more defined neckline.
Loose Skin Sagging skin on the face, neck, and forehead can make you look tired or aged. Dr. Mourad lifts the underlying facial structures first, then removes the extra skin without creating tension. This approach delivers a refreshed appearance that looks natural.
Fat Under the Chin Submental fullness (fat beneath the chin) can result from genetics, aging, or weight changes. Dr. Mourad often uses liposuction to remove this fat, followed by skin tightening techniques that refine the neck and jawline.
Midface Volume Loss When cheek tissue sags, it flattens the midface and deepens the folds along the sides of the nose and mouth. Dr. Mourad lifts this tissue to restore fullness in the cheeks and improve facial symmetry. In some cases, he might recommend additional volume using cheek implants or fillers.
Nasolabial Folds The lines between the nose and corners of the mouth deepen as cheek tissue falls. Repositioning the deeper layers of the face helps soften these folds. Dr. Mourad can also use fillers for added refinement when needed.

You might benefit from a facelift if you feel your appearance no longer reflects your energy or confidence. Ideal candidates typically include:

• Adults noticing sagging skin or deep facial lines
• People with jowls or loss of jawline definition
• Individuals with neck banding or excess neck fat
• Those in good general health without medical conditions that impair healing
• Patients who want long-lasting results that look natural
