Facial Rejuvenation Center

Background

Nowhere does aging leave its imprint more noticeably than on the face. Many factors contribute to facial wrinkling including heredity, stress, sun exposure, inadequate diet and nutrition, alcohol consumption and smoking.

Dr. Gotkin is renowned for his expertise in aesthetic facial surgery.

A facelift (rhytidectomy) re-drapes loose skin on the face and neck, tightens and repositions underlying tissues and removes excess fat.

Dr. Gotkin has developed a customized alternative to the traditional facelift, known as The Natural Lift. The Natural Lift elevates the cheeks, with no visible scars.

And if you need a little bit more than The Natural Lift, but aren’t quite ready for a full facelift, then the MACS Lift may be the lift for you!

Within just a few hours, your new look can take shape right at Cosmetique’s high-tech, accredited facility, with no hospital stay and no general anesthesia.

Dr. Gotkin also specializes in:

  • Blepharoplasty – eyelid surgery
  • Brow Lift – forehead lift to correct the sagging or low position of the eyebrows
  • Buccal Fat Pad Excision – cheek fat removal
  • Malarplasty – cheek implants
  • Mentoplasty – chin implant
  • LaserPeel – full face, perioral, periorbital
  • Otoplasty – ear pinning
  • Rhinoplasty – nose reshaping

If you are considering any of the above procedures, a private consultation with Dr. Gotkin is the best way to obtain the additional information you will need.

FAQs

Question:
Am I a good candidate for a facelift?
Answer:
One or more of the following conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for a facelift:  
  • A deep line, or fold, running from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth
  • Jowls, or loss of a well-defined jaw line associated with youthfulness
  • Deep wrinkles in the cheeks and sagging of the “highlight” areas of the cheekbones
  • Loose skin, wrinkles, or excess fatty tissue in the neck
 
Question:
How would Dr. Gotkin evaluate me for facelift surgery?
Answer:
During your personal consultation, Dr. Gotkin will discuss your medical history with you.  This will include information about any medical conditions you may have, medical treatments you have received, previous surgery, and medications that you currently take.

Dr. Gotkin will assess the thickness, texture and elasticity of your skin, and the severity of wrinkles and folds.  Your hairline will be examined to determine where incisions can be discreetly placed.  All of these factors, as well as your bone structure and underlying tissues, will be considered in developing an individualized surgical plan.

Dr. Gotkin can also inform you about additional procedures that can be performed along with a facelift in order to address all the concerns you have identified.  For example, a facelift is frequently combined with a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, nose reshaping or skin treatments such as dermabrasion, chemical peeling or laser resurfacing.
 
Question:
What if I’m considering some type of facial rejuvenation, but don’t feel like I need or am ready to undergo a full facelift?
Answer:
Dr. Gotkin performs two types of minimally-invasive facelift techniques:  The Natural Lift and the MACS Lift.  The Natural Lift corrects jowls and gently elevates the cheeks, corners of the eyes and mouth with no visible scars.  The MACS Lift provides all of the aesthetic improvements of The Natural Lift, but also improves the appearance of your neck.
 
Question:
Where would surgery be performed?
Answer:
Surgery can be performed either in Manhattan or Long Island.  Dr. Gotkin and Dr. Sarnoff are affiliated with New York’s most prestigious hospitals.  But plastic surgery has become so safe that the majority of procedures do not require hospitalization.  In fact, for many reasons, you may prefer to have your surgery performed at Cosmetique.

We have an accredited ambulatory surgical facility on the premises, exclusively dedicated to high-quality cosmetic surgery.  Having surgery at Cosmetique is an intimate, private experience.  It can even make your recovery easier.  On the day of surgery, our dedicated staff – the same individuals you have come to know and trust before surgery – will provide the highest level of care for you.  After surgery, you’ll be home in your own bed the same night.
