Facelift
As you get older, the natural aging process combined with sun exposure, gravity, and more can make you feel less confident in your looks.
To help you age gracefully, New York cosmetic surgeon Craig Foster offers facelift procedures at his Manhattan plastic surgery center.
Our expert plastic surgeon offers highly customized facelifts using endoscopic techniques. Explore your options at a consultation.
Facelifts Are Truly
Transformative
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is an incredibly popular surgical procedure that reverses signs of aging, providing noticeable, permanent improvements that cannot be achieved with non-surgical methods.
While we offer several facelift surgeries (including mini facelifts), in many cases patients who visit Dr. Foster's Manhattan practice need a full facelift to best rejuvenate their appearance. During a full facelift, Dr. Foster tightens and re-drapes the skin, muscles, and underlying tissue on the entire face and neck to give you a younger, natural look.
The Beautifying Effects
of a Facelift
A facelift surgery delivers the dream look you envision by making major improvements in three significant areas:
Skin
Collagen production decreases with age, causing your skin to thin and lose elasticity, leading to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. During a facelift, Dr. Foster trims excess skin and smooths what remains.
Muscles
As facial muscles weaken over time, you can lose tone, leading to drooping along the jawline. Your facial muscles can be tightened during a facelift to reduce sagging, thereby restoring a youthful appearance.
Fat
Facial fat can shift position as we age, moving from the cheeks to under the chin. This can create the appearance of jowls or a double chin. During a facelift at our New York City clinic, Dr. Foster can remove excess fat to slim your look.

Tailored Facelift Options
In addition to full traditional facelifts, Dr. Foster offers several facelift variations at his Upper East Side practice. These targeted procedures can often mean less recovery time while still refreshing your appearance.
Lower Facelift
If you are bothered by jowls and loose skin on your neck, a lower facelift can rejuvenate and transform your appearance. A lower facelift targets sagging skin around the mouth, along the jawline, and on the neck. The lower face and neck commonly show early signs of aging, and many patients in their 40s and 50s prefer to target this specific area rather than pursue a full facelift.
Mid Facelift
A mid facelift offers a great option for patients with loose skin primarily around the lower eyelids and cheeks. If you are concerned about this area of your face, it is important for you to meet with our Manhattan surgeon for a consultation so that Dr. Foster can determine whether you would benefit more from a mid facelift or a combination of lower eyelid surgery and cheek implants.
Mini Facelift
Nicknamed the "weekend facelift" for the quickness of the procedure and its shortened recovery time, the mini facelift is ideal for Manhattan-area facelift patients in their 30s and 40s who are just starting to experience sagging or drooping of facial skin. A mini facelift requires smaller incisions and less recovery than a full facelift, but cannot achieve the same drastic results.
The Full Facelift Process
We Offer Many Options For a Refreshed Appearance
In addition to the facelift variations listed below, our Upper East Side board-certified surgeon also offers other facial plastic surgery procedures to refine the nose, eyelids, and other parts of the face.
On top of performing blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation, and lip augmentation, Dr. Foster offers a variety of non-surgical options like BOTOX® Cosmetic and other injectables.
