Our Approach
During the past two decades Dr. Rosenberg’s Deep Plane Facelift with platysma muscle suspension has proven remarkably safe and effective in rejuvenating the aging face. Specifically, Dr. Rosenberg’s Deep Plane Facelift elevates the entire platysma muscle. It is this sheet-like muscle that falls with age and causes jowls and a loose hanging neck. For this reason, Dr. Rosenberg tightens the complete platysma muscle with stitches under the skin and thereby re-defines the jawline and neck.
Many patients requesting consultations for facelifts notice their aging faces are not consistent with their youthful energy. In other words, they feel a “mismatch between how they feel and how they look.” After surgery, this imbalance is gone, and patients notice their faces appear refreshed, defined, and vibrant, matching how they feel inside.
Dr. David Rosenberg devotes himself to creating the most natural looking surgical results with the shortest recovery times possible. He consistently helps each patient to look as beautiful or handsome as possible without producing any obvious signs that surgery ever occurred. It is Dr. Rosenberg’s conviction that an attractive face is not limited to the young. He believes that the face is an immensely important personal characteristic that should be maintained and enjoyed throughout life. To him this does not necessarily mean erasing every facial line and wrinkle, but more importantly retaining the bone structure and vibrancy that typically fade with time.
Dr. David Rosenberg is board-certified in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery as well as Otolaryngology-Head and Neck 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.
The Procedure
These three 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 jawline and neck.
Technically known as “rhytidectomy,” a facelift is often performed in conjunction with an endoscopic brow lift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, or laser skin resurfacing.
Dr. David Rosenberg is widely considered one of the best facelift surgeons in the United States. From his Upper East Side practice in Manhattan, New York City, many of Dr. Rosenberg’s patients travel to NYC from all over the east coast, including, Connecticut, Washington D.C., Boston, and New Jersey. In addition, because of Dr. Rosenenberg’s results and authority on facelift-related topics, it’s very common for his facelift patients to travel from all over the world. He has become internationally renowned as a top celebrity surgeon by providing his patients with long-lasting, natural-looking results with the shortest recovery times possible. For this reason, he has eliminated the use of drains for an easier recovery.
In addition, Dr. Rosenberg is a fellowship instructor for the American Academy of Facial Plastics Surgery and has trained his associate Dr. Andrew Timberlake in this technique
