Who are the Top Facelift Plastic Surgeons in the USA?Facelift

Selecting the appropriate facelift surgeon has nothing to do with convenience and everything to do with expertise. The surgeons represented here have devoted decades to achieving excellence in facial rejuvenation, publishing peer-reviewed research, training other physicians and producing results that suggest rejuvenation rather than surgical revision. They represent some of the most respected hands practicing facelift surgery in the United States today.

1. Dr. Andrew Jacono — New York, NY

Andrew Jacono, MD, is a double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon and director of the New York Center for Facial Plastic & Laser Surgery with practices in Manhattan and on the Gold Coast of Long Island. He is recognized for his development of the extended deep plane facelift, a technique designed to rejuvenate the midface, jaw and neck as a single, inter-related unit and not as isolated components. With numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals and designation as a New York Times “Super Doctor,” he has become one of the most frequently cited authorities in contemporary deep plane facelift techniques and education.

Dr. Mike Nayak, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, performs exclusively deep-plane facelifts at Nayak Plastic Surgery in St. Louis.

His highly transparent, educational-based methods of achieving patient satisfaction have received national recognition, and he has been selected as one of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons by Newsweek. His practice integrates deep-plane techniques with sophisticated fat transfer procedures to avoid the excessively tight, “finished” results of older facelift techniques.

Keller provides more than 40 years of experience to his practices in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, where he specializes in deep-plane facelifts to achieve a naturally youthful appearance without an overworked appearance.
