Ideal Candidates

Patients should be in good general health. Chronic conditions should be well-managed, and any underlying medical issues must be disclosed during your consultation. Smoking can impact healing and increase the risk of complications. Ideal candidates are non-smokers or are willing to cease smoking during the pre and post-operative periods.

Brow Lift

Brow Lift

On days when you are feeling well-rested and content, does your face tell a different story? Often, the forehead is the main culprit. A lined or furrowed brow can make a serene face appear upset or concerned. Frown lines between the eyebrows can produce an angry look.

Ear Surgery

Ear Surgery

The most common candidates for ear surgery (otoplasty) in Albany at The Plastic Surgery Group are children who have protruding, misshapen, or noticeably prominent ears. We also perform ear surgery on adults who have similar concerns about their ears.

EYELID SURGERY

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery candidates are usually 40 to 60 years old, but factors such as genetics make this procedure right for younger and older patients, as well.

Facelift

Facelift

Whether you’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s, you might be interested in looking younger. You might still have good facial skin tone, but your skin may be looser than in years past. You might see creases, sagging, and wrinkles, too. A facelift in Albany, NY, at The Plastic Surgery Group can take years off your appearance.

Facial Implants

Facial Implants

We use jaw, cheek, and chin facial implants in our practice to improve and enhance facial contours. Our plastic surgeons frequently use these implants to give the face a more harmonious balance and to increase self-esteem.

Neck Lift

Neck Lift

Loose, sagging, wrinkled skin under the neck can be the result of weight loss, heredity, or the aging process. Often the neck is one of the first features to give away a person’s age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have scars?

Most facial plastic surgery procedures use discreet incisions to minimize visible scarring. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.

At what age can someone get facial plastic surgery?

There is no specific age requirement, as it depends on the procedure and the individual’s needs. Some surgeries, like rhinoplasty, can be performed in the late teens, while others, like facelifts, are more common later in life.
