City Facial Plastics offers a full spectrum of facelift approaches — from minimally invasive mini facelift to full ligamentous release deep plane surgery — performed by Dr. Gary Linkov in a NYC surgical facility. Techniques include skin-only lift, SMAS plication, SMASectomy, SMAS flap, and the JetLyft protocol that pairs deep plane surgery with post-operative JetPeel lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and accelerate recovery. Male facelift, midface lift, revision facelift, neck lift, and non-surgical facelift options are all available.

Dr. Kwak offers mini facelift, traditional facelift, and deep plane facelift procedures at his Park Avenue surgical suite. Incisions follow the natural hairline and ear contour; the deep plane technique releases ligaments for longer-lasting results of up to ten years. Recovery to social activities takes approximately two weeks, with full clearance around six weeks.

Dr. Philip Miller offers multiple facelift approaches under the NatraLift methodology from his Joint Commission–accredited Midtown Manhattan practice, including traditional facelift, limited-incision mini-facelift, SMAS deep-plane facelift, and an awake facelift variant. Neck lift surgery is available standalone or combined with facelift. Incisions are concealed within natural skin creases in front of and behind the ears and along the hairline. Most patients return to work within approximately two weeks, with full healing over six to nine months. A liquid facelift using injectable fillers and neuromodulators is also offered as a non-surgical alternative.

Dr. Tornambe performs traditional facelifts and the less-invasive MACS mini-facelift to address sagging cheeks, deep wrinkles, jowling, mid-face volume loss, and loose neck skin. The traditional technique involves incisions along the hairline and ears with deep muscle tightening and fat repositioning, while the MACS approach uses shorter incisions and reduced downtime. Both procedures are performed in the AAAASF-accredited on-site surgical suite under general anaesthesia with board-certified anesthesiologists. Results typically last 8–10 years.

Dr. Jacono performs multiple facelift variants — including his patented M.A.D.E. (Minimal Access Deep Plane Extended) mini facelift, Extended Deep Plane, SMAS, Ponytail, Short Scar, Asian, Male, and Revision facelifts. Procedures are performed under local or twilight sedation in the on-site AAAASF-certified surgical suite. The technique repositions underlying facial muscles and redistributes fat without relying solely on skin tension, delivering results that can last 10–15 years with return to daily activity within one to two weeks.

RENATA Facial Cosmetic Surgery in Brooklyn, New York offers facelift procedures performed by Dr. Renata Khelemsky, a fellowship-trained double board-certified facial cosmetic surgeon. Three facelift techniques are available — the Short Scar Mini Lift, SMAS Lift, and advanced Deep Plane Facelift — tailored to each patient's degree of facial aging and anatomical needs. The deep plane technique releases both the SMAS and facial ligaments to elevate the cheeks, jawline, and neck comprehensively, delivering natural and longer-lasting results. Patients are typically presentable within three weeks and reach full recovery around six weeks post-procedure.

Dr. Jacob Bloom performs deep plane facelift and neck lift surgery at his Gold Coast Chicago practice, addressing lower facial descent, jowling, and neck laxity through musculature tightening, excess skin removal, and liposuction where indicated. Procedures typically last two to five hours under IV sedation on an outpatient basis. Recovery involves bruising peaking at 24 to 48 hours, subsiding over approximately two weeks, with most patients returning to work within 10 to 14 days. Neck lift techniques include platysmaplasty for muscle tightening and cervicoplasty for skin excision.

Dr. Avashia performs traditional and deep-plane facelifts that reposition structural facial tissues beneath the facial ligaments rather than simply tightening skin. This sub-SMAS approach restores volume to the midface and cheek contours, minimises visible scarring, and avoids the pulled or windblown look associated with older techniques. Results typically last 10–15 years.

Muse Plastic Surgery in Atlanta offers facelift surgery using a vertical lift technique, performed by Dr. Wright A. Jones MD FACS. The procedure addresses gravitational descent of the lower face, jowl, and neck by elevating and repositioning the underlying soft tissue structures through incisions placed within natural skin creases around the ear.

All procedures are performed in the practice's accredited on-site surgery center.

Nazarian Plastic Surgery Beverly Hills performs standard facelifts, deep plane facelifts, mini facelifts, neck lifts, and brow lifts to address facial ageing with long-lasting, natural-looking results. The standard facelift repositions facial fat, tightens underlying muscles, and removes excess skin, with optional fat grafting for volume restoration at the cheeks and under-eyes. The deep plane technique releases and repositions the SMAS layer and deeper facial muscles for more comprehensive rejuvenation suited to advanced facial ageing. Recovery typically allows non-strenuous activities within two weeks, with results lasting 10 or more years.

Dr. Roy David performs the La Jolla Lift® — his proprietary extended deep-plane facelift technique — at his Sorrento Mesa practice in San Diego. The full procedure addresses gravitational descent of the lower face, jowls, and neck, while the mini La Jolla Lift® uses twilight sedation with no general anaesthesia and takes approximately 120 minutes, targeting patients with earlier-stage facial laxity. Both techniques reposition the underlying SMAS layer to restore a natural, rested appearance without a windswept look. The procedure was featured on the TV show The Doctors.

Dr. Maas performs a full spectrum of facelift procedures including his signature Deep Plane SMASplasty Facelift, lower facelift, mid facelift, mini facelift, neck lift, and revision facelift.

Non-surgical facelift options combining injectables and laser are also available.

Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel performs deep plane, SMAS, mini, and ponytail-effect facelift procedures from The Spiegel Center in Newton, MA.

Adjunct procedures including blepharoplasty and fat transfer may be combined in one operative session.

Procedures address moderate-to-significant facial ageing including jowling, deep nasolabial folds, loss of jawline definition, and platysmal neck banding. The surgeons address the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer for repositioning of descended facial tissue, providing natural-looking, long-lasting results. Neck lift tightens the platysmal muscle and removes excess neck skin, defining the cervicomandibular angle. Facelift may be combined with blepharoplasty, brow lift, fat grafting, or laser resurfacing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

De La Cruz Plastic Surgery Houston performs deep plane facelift surgery, repositioning deeper facial tissues beneath the SMAS layer and releasing retaining ligaments to elevate the midface, SMAS, and fat pads as a single composite unit. This approach may support longer-lasting and more natural-looking results compared to superficial SMAS techniques, as it addresses the underlying structural displacement rather than simply tightening skin. Sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, jowls, and neck laxity are typically addressed simultaneously. The procedure is commonly combined with neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, and facial fat grafting. Social recovery is approximately ten to fourteen days.

Dr. Jacob Sedgh performs facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) to address the hallmarks of facial ageing including jowling, deep nasolabial folds, loss of mid-face volume, neck banding, and skin laxity.

Mini facelift and mid facelift options are available for patients with earlier-stage laxity. Neck lift and neck liposuction are frequently combined for comprehensive lower-face and jawline refinement. Male facelift options are also offered.
