Did you know that there is no “best” age to have a facelift surgery, or any kind of cosmetic treatment for that matter? Generally speaking, the only medical requirement or prerequisite for having the vast majority of cosmetic treatments is that you be in good general health. Of course, something like a “liquid facelift” that involves the use of non-surgical dermal fillers and Botox will have a lesser requirement than a facelift (or a tummy tuck, or breast augmentation) or anything that requires actual surgery—in these cases your body must be healthy enough to withstand elective surgery. The good news […]
Most of us have always assumed the beauty is, indeed, in the eye of the beholder — but this may not actually be the case. A study into what sample groups see as “ideal faces” has uncovered surprising results that may give all of us a guideline for how to achieve what the most people consider to be the perfect face.
THE PERFECT FACE: WHAT DID SCIENTISTS FIND?The University of Toronto’s Professor K. Lee headed up a study that discovered how precise measurements can determine whether or not a woman has a “perfect face”. Luckily for all of us, it’s not […]
Age
A patient’s age will inform the manner in which Dr. Fialkov performs a neck lift. Part of his signature neck lift technique involves a customizable, graded treatment approach where the surgery is scaled to each patient’s needs. A patient in their 40s may receive satisfactory results from a neck lift alone while older individuals with jowls will typically require a partial lower neck facelift. Some patients may require a full facelift in order to address problems affecting the neck, jowls, lower and mid face (brows must be treated separately). Dr. Fialkov’s graded approach avoids unnecessary surgical steps and is able […]
Since no two patients are exactly alike in terms of their anatomy or aesthetic goals, similarly, no two facelift procedures are performed in exactly the same way. In general, at Edelstein Cosmetic, the price ranges from $16,000 to $22,000. The extent of the surgery and the patient’s goal will heavily influence the price. If you’re in the process of researching what a facelift might run you financially, the fact of the matter is that the best way to get an accurate idea will be to schedule a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. During a consultation like this you’ll have […]
A common goal or all patients seeking rejuvenation surgery (facelift and brow lift) is a natural “not-done” appearance. The following are signs that surgeons must avoid to prevent an unnatural looking, obviously “done” facelift or brow lift.Common Signs Of A Bad Facelift
Stretched or Distorted Skin
Facelifts that are performed by excising and pulling the skin back incorrectly oe excessively often leave the patient with stretched or distorted skin. Modern surgical techniques, like the SMAS procedure, avoid this result by primarily targeting tissues located below the skin. When internal structures are shifted, the skin itself is not stretched as much and a […]
The best way to have your questions about facelifts answered accurately will almost always be to schedule a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon—this is because a medical professional can answer questions as they relate to you specifically: your goals, your unique anatomy, and as it pertains to anything else in your unique situation.

While facelift surgery offers many benefits and has been utilized to great success by thousands of patients the world over, it’s important to understand what your other options are and, as it pertains to your unique anatomy, whether or not they’ll be preferable to you at the current time.
“Liquid” Facelifts and Dermal Fillers
Liquid facelifts refer to the use of dermal fillers and Botox. This is a non-surgical option which can offer many similar benefits to a facelift. While the results aren’t as dramatic or long lasting, many patients have found that they aren’t quite ready yet for a facelift, but […]
Generally speaking, the only requirement necessary to qualify as a candidate for facelift surgery is to be in good general health—as to whether or not you need a facelift surgery is something that you’ll have to determine on your own (ideally with the advise of a qualified plastic surgeon). Deciding to have plastic surgery—or any elective cosmetic treatment—is a deeply personal decision that should be carefully considered. However, keep in mind it’s also a common decision made by thousands of men and women each year, and social acceptance of plastic surgery is at an all time high.
