Types Of Face Procedures
A brow lift involves lifting the eyebrows to reduce forehead wrinkles and frown lines, while also addressing sagging eyebrows that can create a tired or angry appearance.
An Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or resize the ears. It is most commonly performed to correct protruding ears, but it can also address other ear deformities, such as asymmetry, misshapen ears, or congenital defects.
Eyelid surgery is performed to correct drooping or sagging eyelids, excess skin, and under-eye bags. Both upper and lower eyelids can be addressed. Upper blepharoplasty helps remove excess skin that can obstruct vision or create a tired look, while lower blepharoplasty targets puffiness or under-eye bags.
A facelift is designed to combat the effects of aging by tightening and lifting the skin of the face and neck. It addresses sagging skin, deep lines, and wrinkles, giving the face a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The procedure can involve removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, and repositioning fat to restore volume.
Facial rejuvenation can include a variety of procedures, both surgical and non-surgical.
A neck lift targets the area under the chin and along the jawline to eliminate sagging skin, fat deposits, and muscle bands. This procedure can restore a more defined neck and jawline, often providing dramatic improvements for individuals with a “double chin” or loose skin in the neck area.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the recovery time after a facelift?
Recovery time for a facelift typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks. During this time, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and some minimal discomfort, but these symptoms usually subside within a few weeks. Most patients can return to work and normal activities after 10 to 14 days, but strenuous activities should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks to allow full healing.
Are the results of a brow lift permanent?
While the results of a brow lift can last for many years, they are not permanent. Over time, the natural aging process will continue, and some sagging may occur again. However, many patients enjoy a rejuvenated appearance for more than 10 years before considering further treatments or adjustments.
Will I have visible scars after eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery is typically done with incisions placed in natural creases of the eyelids, making scars less noticeable. For upper eyelid surgery, the incision is hidden in the crease of the eyelid, and for lower eyelid surgery, incisions may be placed just under the lashes and sometimes inside the eyelid.
How long will my Facelift results last?
The results of a facelift typically last 8 to 10 years, but this can vary depending on several factors such as age and skin type, genetics, lifestyle factors (sun exposure, smoking and diet) and following Dr. Antimarino’s post operative instructions. While the facelift won’t stop the natural aging process, it provides a refreshed and rejuvenated look that can last many years, with some patients opting for touch-up procedures or non-surgical treatments like fillers or Botox to maintain their appearance over time.
What are the benefits of fat grafting?
Patients may choose fat grafting (also known as fat transfer) for a variety of aesthetic or functional reasons. Fat grafting can be used to restore lost volume, redistributing the patient’s own fat to areas of the face such as cheeks, temples, under the eyes, chin and jawline. It can smooth wrinkles and improve balance for a more youthful appearance. Fat grafting can also be used for body contouring to add volume and shape to provide a soft, natural look and feel.
