Facelift - Who are the country's top 3 facelift specialist?

Start by asking the 3 Magic Questions: 1. Is this an operation that you perform frequently and how often do you perform facelifts? 2. Do you teach, speak, or write about this procedure for the benefit of other plastic surgeons? 3. Do you have long-term follow-up photos for this procedure? Your surgeon must have the Experience, Expertise, and can show you Exceptional results. This should be done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with expertise in facial rejuvenation. #plasticsurgery#drrodrohrich#facelift

Although I can not answer this question directly, I can give you some info. I posted a link below to choosing "the best" surgeon. There is also another article on this site. Hopefully it helps,Dr James Bonaparte

Defining who a "top" surgeon is for a particular type of surgery can be difficult.  Remember that the vast majority of  board certified facial plastic surgeons or plastic surgeons are excellent at what they do.  The US has an excellent credentialing process and ensures that board-certified surgeons excel at their specialty.A few things to keep in mind:-The "top" surgeons you may see on TV or in magazines are often established through connections or paid advertisements.  While they are all most likely excellent surgeons, they are not the only "top" surgeons to consider.-All surgeons perform certain procedures more than others.  Talk to your potential surgeon in consultation and get an idea of how many facelifts he/she does per year.  For example, one plastic surgeon may perform 10 facelifts per year, while another performs more than 100 per year.-Think of a "top" surgeon more as "the best surgeon for you."  This depends a lot on things like good communication, personal service, attention to your specific needs, and availability both before and after the surgery.  You can learn about these things with a good, comprehensive consultation with a potential surgeon.-Price of the surgery does not always correlate with quality of surgeon.  Patients will pay a premium to have their surgery in big markets like NYC or Beverly Hills.  You can often get an equivalent surgery (or better) in other cities in the US and pay less.-The best and most honest ratings and referrals are by patients!  If you can, talk to a surgeon's recent patients and get an idea of what the experience was like.The remainder of factors to consider are well described by other answers here.  Finding a "top surgeon" is all about determining what factors are most important to you and discussing those during a one-on-one consultation.Best of luck in your decision.
