50 Year Old and in Need of a Facelift. New York, NY

I have not. Have u googled him? Also check with any medical organizations he may belong to, u may b able to obtain further info. Good luck.

Hi, Val, I had just the issues you describe, lower face, neck and jawline. I had a facelift with Dr. Arnold Breitbart just under three weeks ago and I couldn't be more pleased. I did have stitches around the ears but I couldn't even see them post surgery. Nearly 3 weeks out I could easily wear my hair up if I wanted to, I don't see any scarring, he was just very, very skilled. He has offices in Manhasset, Long Island and at Park Avenue and 70th in NYC. He's a very, very good surgeon, very professional and skilled. Low key, focuses on his craft. Good luck with your research, hope this helps!

Was the 37k only for surgery or did it include the surgical center's fee, post op visits, etc.? I am surprised that you were charged a consult fee, it seems most PS do not charge for consults. I wish you luck in your search.

Hi Val, please be really careful not to fall for procedures that advertise no scars, effortless recoveries, etc. Techniques that advertise little downtime, minimal incisions/scars, etc. often equate to minimal results, and all too often, poor results. A well-performed "full" facelift by a highly qualified surgeon, should look natural while turning back the clock and addressing the aging issues of concern, while making scars nearly imperceptible. Surgery leaves scars; that's unavoidable. But a skilled surgeon knows how to place and make incisions that should be difficult for even your hairdresser to detect. My advice is to devote your time and energy to researching various surgeons' experience, qualifications, and consistently impressive results and not to worry about visible scars. I would also caution you about going out of the country to have this done. It is major surgery with a major recovery, and it is much safer and wiser to be where you can have easy access to your surgeon for follow-up (even months out) and if any complications develop. Best of luck. :-)

Don't forget to take some photos from when you were at your best. I took photos with me from as far back as high school (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) just to show that I indeed did have a neck and jaw line at one time. I felt it helped to have the PS see the structure of my young face when we discussed the procedures. Ask all the questions you need, discuss your expections and make sure that special connection between you and surgeon is there. Good luck

Good luck! Good that you surgeon will tight the muscles, it is so important! Skin only lifts does not give natural look and does not last - skin will drop soon after the surgery without tightening the muscles.I am 51, hate my neck and will be doing the same thing
