Facelift
The face is one of your most exposed parts. As a result, it can age rapidly and develop wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
A facelift can reverse these signs of aging for smoother-looking skin and a younger look.

View on GoogleWhat Is a Facelift?
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.
Facelift Fast Facts
Facelift surgeries can reduce wrinkles, lines, and excess skin to make you look 10 to 15 years younger.
Any patient can benefit from a facelift, but patients between 40 and 70 years old often see the most dramatic results.
Facelift surgery typically takes from 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on the type of surgery and the extent of the treatment.

Dr. Sherris Discusses Facelifts
Facelift surgery is often recommended for patients who are unhappy with loose, aged skin on their neck and face. Dr. Sherris can customize your facelift surgery to help you look younger while preserving your unique features.
Types of Facelifts
Our practice offers several types of facelift procedures to match your cosmetic needs. Dr. Sherris uses strategically placed incisions for all types of facelifts to reduce scarring and promote fast healing.
Standard Facelift
A standard facelift can benefit patients who want to achieve complete rejuvenation on the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. This procedure covers the areas targeted by mini facelifts and neck lifts in a single procedure, but also requires a longer recovery time than either treatment.
Mini Facelift
Mini facelifts are designed for patients who want to treat specific areas of their face and neck. Many of our patients love mini facelifts because the procedure is less invasive, faster, and requires less recovery compared to other treatments. Dr. Sherris goes a step beyond the standard technique by tightening a layer of tissue beneath the skin to provide more natural and longer-lasting results.
Deep Plane Facelift
The deep plane facelift is a more extensive procedure than standard facelifts and can take care of issues such as pronounced facial sagging and drooping of the mid-face. Deep plane facelifts are also one of the few procedures that can significantly reduce the prominence of nasolabial lines (the deep creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth).
Neck Lift
As the name implies, the neck lift addresses the facial area below your jawline and reduces the amount of saggy and drooping skin around the neck. While tightening the skin and soft tissue under your chin, many times neck lifts are combined with liposuction to remove excess fat or platysmaplasty to address neck banding.

I cannot recommend Dr. Sherris (and everyone who works in his office) enough. He made me feel incredibly comfortable throughout my procedure, and while I was healing from a traumatic injury... I feel like Dr. Sherris gave me my quality of life back, and I am so very grateful.

Cutting-Edge Techniques For Stunning Results
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.
Timeline of a Standard Facelift
Procedure Steps
When you choose Dr. Sherris, you're choosing a leader in facial plastic surgery who has given lectures on the topic and performed surgery around the world.
Recovering After a Facelift
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 not particularly 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 10-14 days 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 plastic surgery procedure.

Financing Options for Facelifts
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.
Factors That Can Affect Costs
Scope of the Procedure
The cost can change depending on the type of facelift you choose and whether you combine it with other treatments. Combining a facelift with other cosmetic surgeries like blepharoplasty may be more expensive than pairing it with non-surgical options like injectables.
Quality of Care
The skill of the doctor and quality surgical care are important factors that can affect the cost. You will see the results of a facelift in the mirror every day, so you should choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who can deliver consistent results, like Dr. Sherris.
Related Expenses
Anesthesia, prescription medications, and other surgery-related expenses are important to keep in mind when budgeting for your procedure. Our staff in Buffalo can provide a personalized quote during your consultation to help you plan your expenses.

View on GoogleExplore Our Non-Surgical Treatments
Our Buffalo practice offers an array of non-surgical injectables that can drastically improve your appearance. While none of these can achieve the same level of results as a full-fledged surgical procedure like a facelift, they can improve your appearance. Some patients prefer to start with treatments like these before deciding if they want to go forward with a facelift. Here are a couple of the most popular options we offer:
BOTOX Cosmetic
We offer the world-renowned injectable BOTOX Cosmetic® to address crow's feet, frown lines, and wrinkles. It works by selectively paralyzing the facial muscles that cause these wrinkles when they contract. BOTOX is administered in minutes and can last for up to six months.
Sculptra Aesthetic
We offer dermal fillers that provide volumization to various areas of the face. For example, these can be injected to make your lips more plump and youthful looking. One popular filler we offer is Sculptra® Aesthetic, an injectable that induces collagen production to make skin look younger for as long as two years.
