We use our faces to express ourselves to the people around us, reflecting our thoughts, feelings, youth, and vitality. At The Plastic Surgery Group, Dr. Susan M. Gannon works to help our patients look rejuvenated so their faces match their personalities. We offer a variety of plastic surgery procedures for the face in Albany, NY, so our patients from Capital District communities, such as Schenectady and Saratoga Springs, can find the one(s) that suit them best.

Conveniently located to serve Albany, Schenectady, Latham, & Troy.

Our Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures

Dr. Gannon and our experienced experts are highly trained when it comes to the following face procedures:

  • Brow Lift – This procedure raises sagging eyebrows and reduces forehead wrinkles to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
  • Ear Surgery (Otoplasty) – This surgery reshapes, resizes, or repositions the ears to correct protruding or misshapen ears and improve facial symmetry.
  • Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) – Excess skin, fat, or muscle is removed or tightened to enhance the appearance of the eyelids and reduce drooping or puffiness.
  • Facelift – Sagging skin and deep wrinkles are tightened and smoothed to restore a more youthful and rejuvenated facial look.
  • Facial Implants – Synthetic implants are used to improve definition in areas such as the chin, cheeks, or jawline.
  • Neck Lift – Loose skin and excess fat around the neck and jawline are removed to create a more defined and youthful neck appearance.
  • Rhinoplasty – The shape, size, or structure of the nose is modified to improve facial harmony or correct breathing issues.

 

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.

Your Consultation

Your consultation for face plastic surgery in Albany is a vital and personalized step in your transformative journey. The consultation begins with a comprehensive assessment of your overall health, medical history, and specific concerns related to facial aesthetics.

Discuss any existing health conditions, medications, allergies, and lifestyle factors that could impact the surgery. Based on this assessment and our discussions, an individualized treatment plan is formulated.

Benefits of Facial Plastic Surgery

  • Enhances facial appearance
  • Reduces signs of aging
  • Improves facial symmetry and profile
  • Boosts self-confidence
  • Removes extra skin and fat
  • Improves breathing (for rhinoplasty)

 

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. 

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty

There are many reasons men and women visit the board-certified plastic surgeons at The Plastic Surgery Group for rhinoplasty in Albany. This procedure, often called nose surgery, can improve the appearance of the nose, repair an injury, or improve breathing.

BROW LIFT

EAR SURGERY

EYELID SURGERY

FACELIFT

FACIAL IMPLANTS

NECK LIFT

RHINOPLASTY

How Much Does Facial Plastic Surgery Cost?

The cost of facial surgery depends on the techniques used, anesthesia fees, and other patient-specific factors. During your initial consultation, we will calculate the exact price of your treatment plan.

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.

I can’t recommend this group enough. All of the nurses, the front desk staff, the facility and Dr.Gannon have been nothing short of amazing. I have never had an issue getting questions answered, getting in contact with anyone, great communication and such a great experience all around. I went for a lift and augmentation and it was truly such an easy process. I recommend to everyone!!!

Staff is friendly, the place is spotless and Dr Gannon is the best! I had breast cancer and I have one of the prettiest boobs now! Unfortunately, nothing could be done with the radiated breast. Now on to the abdomen! I’m so excited. Dr Gannon is not only the best in her field, she is truly an artist of the body!

Recently I had a breast reduction surgery by Dr. Fournier. While still in the healing phase I can see the results are positively physically life changing! They look amazing too! Wonderful doctor, down to earth, also the nurses and office staff were kind, accommodating and knowledgeable. Thank you.

The experience I had with Dr Gannon is beyond words. I had been trying for YEARS to get a reduction. She really took the time to listen to me. I felt so comfortable with her skills. It's been over 2 months since I had surgery and I could cry I am so happy with my results and the care I received from Dr. Gannon and everyone at the Plastic Surgery Group. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I would just like to echo what Blake said. I too had Dr. Fournier do an otoplasty a little over a year ago now and he did an incredible job! I could not be happier! His bedside manner was great and was very receptive to me having local instead of general anesthesia (which I asked if it was possible to do). Additionally, everyone else in the office was very kind and welcoming! Overall 100/10

Dr. Gannon did an awesome job with my surgery and I couldn’t be happier! Her scheduler, Tabitha was super sweet, patient and answered all my questions, making me feel at ease. I had talked to a few different schedulers before her, but she really stood out. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Thanks, Tabitha and Dr. Gannon!

My 1.5 year old son had a large cut on his forehead that was 5 days old, and still bleeding after already seeing both an urgent care and an ER. We went to see Briana Benson, PA at the Plastic Surgery Group and she cleaned up the wound, used local anesthetic, and the placed 4 sutures all in the office with my husband and I were holding our squirming son. She has an amazing way with kids, and she was able to be so confident, professional, and fast when doing this. It was also a precise suture, and will minimize scaring. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. Hopefully, we will never need a plastics office again for our little one, but if we ever do, we will surely be returning.

Wouldn’t trust any other practice but this one to get anything done. I love the girls at the spa and the services are amazing. I’ve seen Dr.Hargrave over the years and he’s so easy going and professional. My results have been amazing which is why I keep coming back to get little things done
