As we age, our faces change shape, growing more rectangular as gravity tugs on the skin and jowls. Facelifts restore a more youthful, oval-shaped facial appearance by tightening the muscles and skin.
A facelift involves making careful incisions that allow Dr. Newman to tighten the skin and underlying musculature in the face. Once recovery is complete, patients notice reductions in wrinkles, sagging skin, jowls, turkey neck, and other common signs of facial aging.
Depending on your situation, your personalized Fairfield County facelift focuses specifically on the signs of aging bothering you the most.
Dr. Newman’s decades of experience, combined with his knowledge of the latest techniques and technological innovations, provide you with the perfect combination of expertise, care, and innovation. We call it “The Newman Difference.”
Other Procedures Cannot Offer the Same Dramatic Results
If your goal is to completely rejuvenate your features, there is no surgical substitute for facial plastic surgery. Using a facelift Fairfield County plastic surgeon Dr. Newman can provide substantial changes to all aspects of your face, specifically sagging jowls and nasolabial folds.
In addition, he can perform other treatments at the same time to address specific problem areas. Some popular procedures used to complement this treatment include blepharoplasty and laser skin resurfacing, as well as rhinoplasty and forehead lifts.
Facelift surgery can improve the appearance of creases and deep lines.
Another common condition addressed with this surgical treatment is loose skin beneath the chin.
Commonly referred to as a "turkey neck," these bands can be addressed using a lower facelift.
Wrinkles around the eye area can be minimized with a rhytidectomy.
Surgery can restore youthful definition to the jawline and cheekbones.
Surgery is the only effective way to correct loose, sagging skin.
Significant weight loss often leaves people with excess skin in their face and around their neck. Dr. Newman understands how frustrating it can be to be left with a drooping appearance after working so hard to lose weight.
He can tailor your treatment to address the unique issues associated with massive weight loss. It may require additional fat removal or other surgical treatments to achieve the desired results.

A Facelift Has Far-Reaching Effects

By tightening the underlying facial muscles, Dr. Newman can also refine the contours of your face for restored definition and a more youthful look.
When you are satisfied with the appearance of your visage, your confidence can reach exciting new heights. This boost in self-esteem can benefit virtually every aspect of your life.

Need help choosing a surgeon? Consider that Dr. Newman is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Board of Surgery, and the National Board of Medical Examiners.

He was named among “The Top Plastic Surgeons in America” as featured in Castle Connolly’s guide to America’s Top Doctors® and is considered an authority and innovator in his field. In fact, he was one of the first surgeons to perform liposuction in the United States and can incorporate the technique into facelift treatment when necessary. Dr. Newman has been in practice for more than 30 years and has earned a reputation for impeccable work. Many of his patients travel from Fairfield County, out of state, and from overseas to benefit from his skill and expertise.

While this surgical treatment offers an effective way to improve your appearance, generate a more youthful look, and give you the boost of confidence you desire, candidates must meet certain criteria. During a private appointment, Dr. Newman will discuss your questions, concerns, and goals to help you decide which technique will help you achieve the desired results. He can also explain what can and cannot be accomplished and what patients should expect from treatment. In order to confirm your eligibility, he will look at several factors during your appointment at our Fairfield County practice:
Facelifts are intended to address more significant concerns and signs of aging.
Typical candidates are men and women over the age of 40.
As with any surgical treatment, you must be healthy enough to safely undergo the procedure.
To achieve optimal results, a patient’s skin must have a certain degree of elasticity.
No two facelift procedures are the same, but there are two general types of lifts Dr. Newman performs at our Fairfield County surgical center. A full facelift can address the entire face and neck. It can restore definition to the cheekbones and jawline and tighten tissues in the neck.
A mini facelift, sometimes called a mid-facelift, focuses on the cheekbones and jowls. In some cases, liposuction may be incorporated into the procedure to remove fat deposits under the chin. Both techniques can incorporate a forehead lift and blepharoplasty for more comprehensive results.
Some of our patients do not need or want a full facelift and opt for a mid-facelift, also known as a mini facelift. Depending on the level of modification needed, a facelift can take anywhere from two to four hours. Dr. Newman sometimes will perform complementary treatments such as blepharoplasty and laser resurfacing of the skin of the face.
Before beginning, our team will administer anesthesia to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible. Once you have been made comfortable with a light, safe level of general anesthesia, Dr. Newman will inject the area with local anesthesia. This approach minimizes the amount of general anesthesia that is necessary.
Next, he will carefully place incisions in predetermined locations. During a full facelift, he will create incisions in the hairline near the temples, continuing down the crease in front of the ear and extending behind the ear. Dr. Newman may also make a small incision beneath your chin in order to properly address signs of aging on the neck.
Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Newman may remove excess tissue, tighten the underlying muscles and other tissues, and reposition your skin for the most natural look.
Finally, Dr. Newman closes the incisions with stitches, and he will also apply comfortable bandages.
After surgical treatment, you may experience temporary side effects such as tenderness, redness, swelling, and bruising of the skin, although discomfort is usually minimal. Any pain can be relieved through medication prescribed by the surgeon. Fortunately, within a few weeks, the results have usually met the patient’s expectations. If necessary, the surgeon can provide makeup to hide bruising that may remain slightly longer.
You are likely to experience some numbness in the skin; this fades in the following few weeks or, in rare cases, months. Dr. Newman will recommend that you relax and limit your movement for the first few days after facelift surgery.
In order to check on your healing, Dr. Newman will schedule a few post-operative appointments at our plastic surgery center in Fairfield County. Though most of the stitches come out after five days or so, the stitches or clips above the hairline may remain a few days longer.
Most patients are able to return to work and resume normal activities in 10 to 14 days.
Most activities and light exercise can be resumed about a month after your surgical treatment, but you should wait until your surgeon determines that these actions are safe to resume.
Patients are typically able to see the full results of a facelift three to six months after surgical treatment when the swelling and bruising have faded. After a few weeks, you should notice a dramatic reduction in sagging jowls, excess skin, wrinkles, and fat deposits throughout your face.
Although a facelift cannot stop the aging process, the results are transformative. You will always look more rejuvenated and younger than your actual age, but it is important to understand that you may need to revise your results over a long period of time.
feel confident and proud
Each facial cosmetic surgery at our Fairfield County practice is customized to your goals so that you can feel confident and proud of your results. Still, there will be some scarring. However, Dr. Newman will carefully place all your incisions as discreetly as possible. He will also provide instructions for caring for your incision sites to help scars fade and remain as inconspicuous as possible.
The cost of rhytidectomy treatment can vary dramatically depending on the complexity of your treatment, your surgeon's fees, and other expenses such as anesthesia and facility fees. Cost is a very serious consideration, and Dr. Newman can provide you with an estimate for the price of treatment, as well as financing options that can place it comfortably within your budget. To learn how much treatment will cost in your case, schedule a consultation at our Fairfield County, CT, practice in Fairfield County. Contact us online or call us at: (203) 656-9999
The term “facelift” actually refers to a variety of surgical treatments that can be performed alone or in combination to meet a patient’s unique needs. A mini facelift is intended to lift sagging jowls and provide more definition in the jaw. A brow lift targets the upper third of the face.
A mid-facelift treats the area surrounding the mouth, nose, and eyes. A full facelift can combine aspects of all of these procedures, including a neck lift to rejuvenate the area between the chin and collar. The more comprehensive your procedure is, the higher the overall cost. Dr. Newman completely customizes each surgical plan. A larger treatment area will result in more time spent in the operating room, which in turn increases your surgical costs. Meanwhile, secondary and revisional treatments are more expensive than initial surgeries because they are more complex.
If you are considering plastic surgery for the face, this is not the time to go bargain hunting. Rather than basing your decision on cost alone, you should consider your surgeon’s credentials and experience. Choosing a surgeon who is skilled in facial cosmetic surgery reduces the risk of dissatisfaction with your results. Remember: revisional and secondary surgeries always cost more than the initial procedure.
Dr. Newman has been practicing for decades and has undergone extensive training with some of the most important innovators in his field. He also remains committed to ongoing education in order to master the latest and most effective surgical techniques. Meanwhile, as part of our commitment to exceptional care, patients are assigned their own registered nurse to oversee their recovery in a private and comfortably furnished room.
Our fully accredited surgical center is significantly more economical than undergoing surgical treatment in a third-party facility.
long-lasting results
Unlike the results produced with many non-surgical treatments, the results of your rhytidectomy are typically long-lasting. You can prolong the results of treatment by using sun protection, wearing a hat when outdoors, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and abstaining from tobacco use. It is also best to avoid consuming alcohol and sitting in steam baths or saunas for at least a few months.
