Facelift Buffalo Turn Back Time

Dr. Sherris is a cosmetic plastic surgeon who is constantly seeking to enhance his plastic surgery skills and techniques. In the past, he performed liposuction under the chin as part of his facelift. He then discovered a new technique that provides incredible results, especially for Buffalo, NY, patients who wouldn't otherwise be a candidate for the plastic surgery procedure. 

This new technique is centered around deep neck fat removal, achieving a deep neck lift by surgically going under the muscle to remove more tissue than was possible in the more traditional method. 

While health insurance typically won't cover the cost of a facelift, we offer flexible financing options to help you achieve the look you've always wanted. CareCredit® financing can help make this procedure more accessible by splitting up the cost into affordable monthly payments.

A facelift (or rhytidectomy) is a plastic surgery procedure that reduces the signs of aging around your face and neck. Over time, your skin and the supporting soft tissue underneath the skin becomes loose, which results in sagging skin and wrinkles. A facelift procedure can tighten the skin around your cheeks, neck, and jawline to help combat signs of aging and rejuvenate your appearance. While a facelift is often the best option for turning back the clock, our Buffalo plastic surgery office offers both surgical and non-surgical options to highlight the best aspects of your appearance.

1. Facelift surgeries can reduce wrinkles, lines, and excess skin to make you look 10 to 15 years younger.
2. Any patient can benefit from a facelift, but patients between 40 and 70 years old often see the most dramatic results.
3. Facelift surgery typically takes from 3 to 5 hours depending on the type of surgery and the extent of the treatment. 

After the procedure, Dr. Sherris may prescribe pain medications to help manage any discomfort. Most facial surgery feels tight and achy at first, but is mildly painful. A drainage tube may be utilized to rid the facial area of excess fluids within the first 24 hours of the surgery. We will schedule an appointment to remove sutures about seven days after the surgery.

Most patients return to work and normal activities about two weeks after surgery. The initial results are immediate, and patients will see them continue to develop during the recovery period over the next few months. However, patients may notice subtle improvements for up to six to 12 months after their procedure.
