Have you considered getting a facelift? Surgical facelifts by professional plastic surgeons can dramatically improve the signs of aging such as sagging, loss of volume, drooping, and deep lines or wrinkles. Although other non-surgical treatments such as injectables, laser resurfacing, and chemical peels can have anti-aging results, nothing can compare to the facelift’s ability to turn back the hands of time. If you’ve considered a facelift, you may have been holding off on making the decision because you are afraid of the scarring that will inevitably occur. However, a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Hershcovitch not only knows how to ensure the scar can be easily hidden with the patient’s hair, but he also knows the proper techniques to keep scarring to a minimum. Here’s how.
Dr. Herschcovitch’s Facelift Technique Options
Dr. Hershcovitch does not believe in a one size fits all model. He carefully plans each surgery so that he can address his patient’s individual issues and ensure that surgery not only gives them the results they want but that it’s also as easy to recover from as possible. He understands that simple facial tightening often does not address the underlying causes of aging and that it can lead to unnatural results that do not stand the test of time. That’s why he always looks to the deeper tissues to understand what needs to be done to create dramatic results that still appear natural. With his extensive training, he has been able to perfect two types of facelift techniques that work for almost all patients.
The SMAS technique works by manipulating a layer of connective tissue and muscle that lies under the skin and provides the most natural look, restoring fullness and lift to the face. The deep plane technique is for those with more pronounced signs of aging and involves releasing deeper tissues and reattaching them to higher positions on the face to tighten skin and create a lifted appearance.
With both techniques, Dr. Hershcovitch takes care not only to keep his incisions as small as possible but also to redrape the skin in a way that reduces incision tension. Incision tension not only leads to discomfort, but it also causes more pronounced scarring. Through his extensive education and experience, Dr. Hershcovitch has perfected his redraping technique, and his patients experience only the minimum of scarring. He also gives them advice on how to take care of their incisions after surgery to help them heal in the most effective manner possible. This includes drinking plenty of water, putting moisturizer or salves on the incisions as directed by Dr. Hershcovitch, getting light exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking.

Dr. Hershcovitch also realizes that a facelift is not just a physical procedure—it’s also an emotional one. Before he schedules a facelift surgery, he makes sure to really get to know his patient to determine not only that they are a physical fit for the procedure, but that they are also emotionally and mentally prepared for the surgery, recovery, and results of their facelift. He truly cares about his patients as people and realizes that plastic surgery is not something that anyone should make a rash decision about. With his caring manner and broad knowledge of facial surgeries, Dr. Hershcovitch is the perfect partner for those who are considering a facelift.
