Why Gruber Plastic Surgery?

Facial cosmetic surgery such as Face lift surgery, including neck lift, is typically performed as an outpatient procedure at our surgery center. Preparation involves a comprehensive facelift consultation with Dr. Gruber to discuss your goals, review surgery before and after photos, and create a customized treatment plan. Various facelift techniques, such as mini lift, traditional facelift, and deep plane facelift, are available to rejuvenate the face and neck by tightening the skin and underlying tissues. Dr. Gruber also offers the SMAS facelift, MACS facelift and deep plane facelift to ensure personalized results. Upper and lower eyelid surgery can be performed simultaneously for comprehensive results. The procedure includes making incisions along the hairline and around the front of the ears to lift and reposition facial muscles and fascia. Recovery typically takes about two weeks, with swelling and bruising subsiding within a few weeks. Complications, though rare, can include infection, scarring, and asymmetry. Choosing an experienced facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Gruber minimizes these risks. Facelift procedures can be combined with other cosmetic surgeries, such as an eyelid lift or brow lift, for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Post-operative care is crucial for optimal results, and a bandage around your face may be applied to minimize swelling. The results include a more defined facial contour, reduced wrinkles, and a youthful appearance.
