An Affordable ($3500 total + $200 consultation) Exceptional Facelift - Mount Sinai Hospital, NYC

WORTH IT$3,416
I knew I couldn't afford $30,000-$40,000 for a facelift and my surgeon who had done liposuction and upper lid blepharoplasty retired. So when I read an article in passing that you could have the Chief Resident (with a LOT of experience doing them-- maybe more than most doctors around) at Mt. Sinai Hopsital in NYC (Dr. Jablonka) under a professor and knowledgeable doctor's care supervising (Dr. Taub) I thought I'd check it out. Ran into a woman day after hers in the waiting room and she looked and felt great. She raved about Dr. Jablonka and said he'd done all her friends. I had to wait a month for an appointment and he will soon be gone for 3 months, but it's worth the wait. He corrected my upper eyelid blepharoplasty, did a lower lid belpharoplasty (this is usually $6,000 alone) and did a facelift and necklift. I'm 2 days after surgery and feel great. Yes, there's bruising and swelling but I can tell he did a great job. I look natural with no more frown! So happy. Not only that, but the anesthesia team, the nurses, intake, everyone was so nice, they even gave me heated blankets while waiting and knowing I had nausea from anesthesia told them this and I had none after for first time ever! I do recommend staying at Hotel Wales 7 blocks from hotel first night with a friend (about $254) because you'll sleep all that night, they check you in in less than 5 minutes and you have to go back next morning for drain removal and bandage change. Next visit tomorrow, stitches out next week, dr. answers my texts and emails with any questions, first rate service.

55 Year Old mom turned her frown upside down with $3416 facelift at Mt. Sinai
Thought I'd title it correctly. I'm sure everyone will be booking him now. No need to go overseas when you have the best in NYC uptown for a fraction of the cost!

this seems too hard to believe, in NYC? How did you go about booking etc? Excited for more updates, thanks

Call the Plastic Surgery Clinic at 212-241-6500 at Mt. Sinai. Request consult which is $200 payable at time of visit. It's at 17 E. 102nd St. between Madison & 5th Ave. 6th floor (I'm going today for follow up). I had my consult July 22nd and scheduled surgery for Sept. 6. He could've done Aug. 30, so expect a wait and he mentioned he's going away 3 months. Worth the wait, though. Dr. Jablonka. THE BEST! And if you want to meet me, see me, I'll be there 1pm today. Yes, NYC. Yes, hard to believe. He spent all day on me (6am intake, woke up 4:30pm). I see an elasticity to my cheeks I haven't seen in 15 years at least!
September 9, 2016
And supervised by Dr. Taub at time of surgery with team. Really couldn't have felt safer or better (& I was nervous day before!!! Like crazy nervous!!!)
September 10, 2016
how did you know what procedures to do? Does he look at you and suggest all what he thinks you should do or is it a budget thing? I am going to call to see about an apt for both my husband and myself! How long did it take you to get the consult scheduled? Thanks for you answers.
September 10, 2016
I got the consult scheduled within a couple of weeks. He looked at me, asked me what I didn't like, told me what he could do for me. No matter how extensive it is, if it's at the same surgery it's the same price, so I went for it, based on his recommendation (told him if I were his sister or mother what would he do). So July 22 was consult, could've had surgery 5 weeks later, but chose 6 weeks, pre-op bloods week before surgery (had those done at my regular doctor), and I'm on day 4. The consult is $200. Worth it because you'll hire him, but as I said, he's leaving end of the month for 3 months somewhere else, so do quick or do later (in January).
September 11, 2016
I am thinking I would like to do it after the first of the year when I can take time off from work. I do think I should try to get in for the consult asap. Maybe I will have my husband do it first....
September 11, 2016
Definitely schedule for when he gets back after the 1st of the year to Mt. Sinai. I think people will be waiting. You're lucky, too-- it'll be winter!
January 25, 2017
I am quite disappointed. I met him on January 10th. Dr Jablonka took a few pictures, scheduled my surgery for January 31st. I sent him about 4 e-mails to confirm the date of surgery . I had requested 20 days off from work without pay and I do not know if l am having surgery on January 31st
January 25, 2017
I'am so sorry,I know you have to be beside you self. I'am going to Cancun for Dental work so I thought I might as well check out surgeons down there while. I have found two that I'am looking into Dr.Edgar Torres and Dr.Marco Camcoma. If this doesn't work out for you take a look in Cancun. Best of luck.
March 28, 2017
Hi I'm just curious if you ever had your surgery. What was the problem with Dr. Jablonka. PradaGal spoke so highly of him that I was actually going to cancel my surgery on Long Island and seek a consult with Mt. Sinai and him obviously. I would really appreciate any info. Thnx
March 28, 2017
I had my consult on 1/10 as well and my surgery w/ Dr. J. It is a CLINIC, not a pvt office. Once u book with the Dr., u really don't hear from them until 1 day prior to surgery. B/c the hospital sx schedule doesn't come out until that Sun. So unless u contact Dr. By phone. Or ur preop has an issue, u won't hear from them.
March 28, 2017
Hi, I had my sx w/Dr.j too. Please read my comment posted after urs. I forgot to link my reply to ur comment. For that price, there is no liason person, u just deal w/ the Dr. So @ consult time, u book sx, ur booked. He puts it into his personal phone calendar and that's it. Give u his business card w/ personal contact # and email. If u think it is important and he doesn't respond to the email, call him. Not text but a phone call. I was expecting more of a "office experience" but no, a bit unnerving but once I understood the CLINIC experience, and asked the Dr. Question it was ok. When I get better will post my review.
March 28, 2017
Also recommend reading all her post and comments, long as it is to get more info. I read it several times and still missed somethings.
March 29, 2017
Been thinking of u. Hope all is ironed I out. What procedures are u getting ? U will be in my prayers.
Went yesterday met one gal Tammy getting her drains out, nice gal. I commented she's strong for being out and about day after. We both thought this guy was Dan, went over to chat realized we were mistaken. Lol
Saw some others but was shy to say if they were from Pradagal's RS'ERS.
BTW how's Dan, looking good!

Did you ever have surgery. I never spoke to Dr. J. again after I made the appointment except for sending him bloodwork/pre-op testing and then showed up day of surgery. Hope you called the office. They certainly would've known!

Thanks! Great information. Does
Dr. Jablonka specialize in faces!

I'm not sure he specializes in faces. From what I hear he does everything, though his main professor specializes in crano-maxofacial (face reconstruction) I read. If he doesn't he should-- he's THE BEST. That said, he does other plastic surgeries, for those who want other things (thinking of kissing my DD's goodbye and going back to my pre kids B's after this).
September 17, 2016
Hi could you send me their phone number so I can call and make an apt. Thanks so much

September 19, 2016
I've called him. It's not a prank, though I didn't share his cell # he gave it to me and answered calls or texts before and after the surgery.
September 19, 2016
He is what a DOCTOR SHOULD BE! (not what we're used to!) He has found his real calling in life and will go far.

Here are Facelift pics of Day 1,2 and on Day 3
I'll be updating them. Yes, it's cheap, but that doesn't mean it isn't good! It was GREAT! Why pay $30,000 when you can pay $3216 + $200 consult fee. The $3216 covers anything he can do at the same time (and is going to take care of some age spots I have and give me some botox shots I ordered, too-- all included!)

Where? Mt. Sanai too?
September 23, 2016
Yes, botox and acid peel are going to be done likely January when my doctor is back in rotation for a few months at Mt. Sinai plastic surgery clinic.
February 25, 2017
Geez...you just reminded me to remind him...that would make 2x I forgot to do it! Thanks so much!!!

Send me info please and doctors number too please and name

It's Mount Sinai Plastic Surgery Clinic. The Real Self Website emailed me 2x and told me I wasn't allowed to post contact info for doctors (I told them it's ridiculous, but they said that's their terms). So, you're going to have to call information and get the main number for Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC and then get connected to the Plastic Surgery CLINIC on East 102nd St. Dr. Jablonka was my doctor and he is co chief resident, but only through the end of March. Then his co chief resident Dr. Lamalas (who is also great) will be doing surgeries until end of June. But then new co chief residents (not in their 6th/last year with tons of experience like these guys) will be starting. So if you're thinking about it, go for it right now. I don't know if any of the info I posted for contact info remains in any of my comments or responses, but Real Self said they were removing the contact info for the doctor (again, ridiculous policy in my opinion! We should be a site of sharing, especially great and affordable doctors). By the way, when you make an appointment for Consultation at the Plastic Surgery Clinic (was $200; think it's $250 now) it's only with Dr. Jablonka, though don't think you can request him by name. Not sure. When I first went, I just asked for consultation and that's who I got and as I said, he's the only one doing surgeries at the Clinic until end of March anyway.

Can you share the information on where you stayed to recover before you went home? I’ll be flying in from Tx. when I decide to do this. I’m terrified! Thank you
February 14, 2017
I have an appointment today at 1:15 I'm only 35 years old but I'm interested in getting a mini facelift I was told the consult will be $200 wish me luck. I will keep you all posted. Thank you for your information
February 14, 2017
Good luck. U will love Dr. J. Have ur questions ready and write it down, the procedures. The waiting room has people waiting for other clinics like ortho for hand and leg. When they finish, plastic clinic takes the rooms. I was overwhelmed and couldn't remember anything. Whirlwind. I'm booked for March. You pay 200 for consultation.
Dr. Jablonka is the one WHO TAKES CARE OF ALL THE DETAILS, there is no office manager or other person who books the surgery date or answers questions. He does.. The gals @ the front windows not know any details of cosmetic sx,but don't be alarmed, it is just for payment. I got all nervous and afraid couldn't decided so he said make another appt in clinic after 2wks to think it over. I went back to clinic and got March date. You can email, text call him AFTER you book your date. He give u his card. Really genuine guy. Very cute too. Lol let us know how it went.

Great. I had my upper lids done at about 35, but, if I had known about this place I would've done it then. They say the longer you wait the worse the results I've heard. You may need another in 15 years, but you'll know where to go. Yes, the consult is $200. You'll love Dr. Jablonka!
February 21, 2017
Consult went great. He is awesome he didn't believe I need a mini facelift but then I told him and show him I had lose skin around my neck area. I'm more concern on my lower part of my face and neck which he said they will be able to fix but he tild me that it won't take him long since he don't have to cut much skin. He told me he would do the short scar mini facelift and also fat transfer to my lower eyelid and he will do my upper eyelid. The total cost for me will be $3500 for the surgery alone. So my total price is $3700 of course including the $200 I had to pay for the consult. Can you please give me his email and phone number?; he had run out of his business cards when I went.
I'm scheduled for 3/23/17.

Can I ask you something? Which I forgot to ask him. Does he also tight the muscle under the skin? Because I had seen videos where the doctor just cut the skin and that's it.
February 23, 2017
Hi: I'm away until next week and don't have them on me. BTW he told me the same price, but when they gave me the amount the day before surgery it was a few hundred less. Hopefully you'll have the same luck. He tightened the muscle in my neck. You have to private message me to get any info because it's against this realself web regulations (they warned me 2x) to even post the dr. contact info. Guess they don't want to compete with their advertisers! Anyway, do so next week and I'll give it to you. If you're in a hurry now that you're a patient, call the office and they'll give you his contact info.
