Who is the Top Facelift Surgeon in South Florida?

As a plastic surgeon focused on facelift surgeries in South Florida it would not be appropriate to single out "the best" surgeon in the area or the state. Rather we acknowledge there are several highly capable surgeons in the region many of whom are well qualified to perform this complex and advanced surgery. Some of us focus on the face and have higher volume facelift practices with many happy patients. A review of before and after photos on the surgeon's website, plastic surgeon's education and credentials, research the surgeon's public reviews online and elsewhere and  then meet the surgeon you choose.
Evaluate the surgeon by results, reputation and see if you have the right doctor-patient chemistry when you meet them. Please make sure your surgeon is board certified in plastic surgery or facial plastic surgery.

I would recommend seeing:

 

Dr Gallo is Miami

Dr Steiger In Boca

There are many plastic surgeons who do excellent facial plastic works.  Schedule consultations with several, discuss their technique, recovery, etc.  See some before and after photos.  Then schedule the procedure with the board certified plastic surgeon of your choosing. 

I would focus your search on someone who limits their practice to facelifts and facial plastic surgery.  Specialization makes sense and it is what most patients I see expect.  Truthfully, there are a number of very experienced, highly qualified facelift surgeons in South Florida.  Find a Surgeon that you like, whose results are impressive, whose staff treat you warmly and professionally, and who focuses on the face. 

Dear needafaceliftnow45,The top plastic surgeons for facelifts are determined by training, experience, number of satisfied patients, great before&after results and board certification. A great resource is to consult patients and to read testimonials.

      I do not know any of the other surgeons you listed.  I have seen Dr. Stuzin operate at some of the aesthetic surgery symposia, and you will do very well with him.

I am glad you are doing your research and looking for someone with the knowledge and expertise needed for a GREAT outcome specially when it comes to a facelift procedure.As a plastic surgeon, I have had the opportunity to observe in the OR the work of Dr. Michael Kelly in Miami, FL. He specializes in Facelifts, and has been doing it for over 20 years. His surgical skills and outcomes are Outstanding. Even more important than that, he is very warm and personable and you will be treated like family. You will have a great experience. He is part of the prestigious Miami Plastic Surgery practice, which is one of the most respected Plastic Surgery practices in the country.I will send my mother or any family member to him without thinking it twice!Hope this was helpful and good luck! 

You will hear as many different answers to this as people that you ask.  Go to see a few different surgeons and see who YOU feel most comfortable with.  There is no question that many board certified plastic surgeons in South Florida can provide you with excellent care and great results.  It's important that you are comfortable with the person that is going to operate on you.
