The incision is smaller that standard incisions. With this technique, the recovery is shorter and the swelling is lessened. Our staff is attentive to the unique needs of facelift patients and all of our patients receive and are appreciative of the personal care that they receive.
Our doctors may opt to use biologic glue in order to reduce swelling. The surgery does not usually require the use of troublesome drains (fluid collection devices). Drains are a very outdated way to do facelifts; a newer technique is using glue in order to shorten the recovery time.
Our plastic surgeons always listen to the patients and their desires in order to develop a surgical plan that accommodates both their desires and needs. Your doctor will discuss what the patient should do prior to surgery and what to expect after the facelift procedure.
In some cases your surgeon may need to address a patient’s laxity in the neck area. In order to do this he makes a small incision under the chin in order to tighten loose neck muscles. Many patients can opt also for just a neck lift without a facelift. Dr. Rowe and his team pioneered a novel technique the addresses laxity of the neck without making an incision about the ear.
A facelift may be combined with eyelid surgery as well as laser resurfacing procedures to get full facial rejuvenation. Your doctor at the time of the consultation will discuss with the patient if he feels any additional procedures may combined with the facialplasty in order to maximize the results.

Let’s hear THE BEST PLASTIC SURGEON! Dr. Rowe and his staff are amazing, accommodating, caring and comforting. I had consultations with many surgeons for a breast reduction prior and none of them made me feel as confident and secure about the operation as Dr. Rowe did. He educated me on my options and made sure I was going to get what I ultimately wanted. Post surgery, the staff was always available if I had any concerns no matter what time it was and follow up appointments were very hospitable. Recommend Dr.Rowe and his staff both for his work and their hospitality. He did an amazing job!
Dr. Rowe is an amazing surgeon. From my consultation to my surgery to my recovery Dr. Rowe and his team has been absolutely wonderful. My surgery went extremely well I was expecting to come in pain but I came out feeling better than ever. Later on that day I got a call from one of the ladies checking to see how I was doing and I thought that was so sweet of them. The recovery process has been amazing, my breast look so perfect and I feel like a brand new person.
