Facelift Information

During the past decade Dr. Rosenberg's muscle suspension technique has proven remarkably safe and effective in rejuvenating the aging face. Dr. David Rosenberg is one of a handful of surgeons board certified in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery as well as Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. With this combined expertise and super specialization, Dr. Rosenberg has taken the lead in performing facelift surgery that is almost entirely muscular in nature.

This surgical approach represents important modifications of the time tested Deep Plane Facelift. In particular, Dr. Rosenberg improves the surface appearance of the face through his muscle suspension that occurs underneath the skin. This correction is soft, smooth and defined, matching Dr. Rosenberg's aesthetic goals.

Specifically, Dr. Rosenberg's facelift elevates the entire Platysma Muscle. It is this sheet-like muscle that falls with age and causes jowls and a hanging neck. For this reason, Dr. Rosenberg tightens the entire platysma muscle with stitches under the skin and thereby re-defines the jawline and neck.

These two custom drawings depict Dr. Rosenberg's platysma muscle suspension technique and may help you understand the concept of his operation.

In the left picture, the aging face reveals descent of the muscle with attendant jowls and a loose neck.

On the right, Dr. Rosenberg's facelift has tightened the platysma muscle with dissolvable stitches placed under the skin. This restored the foundation of the face and redefined the jaw line and neck.
