As a nurse educator, I would like to compliment your eloquence and great ability to provide medical explanations to non-medical audiences. Excellent!
Thank you for your kind words, Sandy Lewis! And thanks for watching!
I have watched tons of plastic/cosmetic surgery videos and yours is the first that didn’t focus on a glammed up, finished product. I appreciated learning about your method and priorities. No over promising.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and appreciation,
Gloria Welles. I do make these videos so people are better informed, and make better decisions about cosmetic procedures.
Thank you for your straight forward, educational explanation of what to consider to do this procedure. Well done 👍
You're welcome, Phyllis Albrecht! And thank you for your kind words!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Camelia P! Very much appreciated. And thank you for watching! :)
You may never see this, but thank you for actually addressing bone loss! Most doctors avoid the issue because it is, to be frank, difficult for both the physician and the patient.
Hi Debra Barnhardt,
I did see it! With the right knowledge, and technique, treating bone loss can actually be very easy on the patient, and doesn't require surgery if concurrent tissue laxity is not yet significant. I've made several videos about age-related volume loss, for your reference:

Very helpful, thank you
You're welcome, Michèle Paradis! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Thank you for explaining in details when and why of fillers versus a full face lift. I have an appointment tomorrow and fell more empowered to ask questions and decide what will work better for me.
You're welcome, Vanessa Shaw! I make these videos so people can be better informed about cosmetic procedures, so they can make better decisions about them.
Facelift or filler is often not an either or proposition, especially if you are already older, where both may treat different factors of facial aging. However, for people in their 40s and 50s, volume loss does occur before significant skin and tissue laxity. You can refer to these videos about it:

Just a question, how do you asses bone loss, especially if it present with sagging skin too?
Dr Afsheen Bilal Asst Professor Of Dermatology, Islamabad
Hi Dr. Bilal,
Just a few millimeters of bone loss can translate into a considerable loss of facial volume. It does go down to experience and knowledge of facial anatomy from procedures like facelifts to assess bone loss. I hope this helps you.
Well said And honestly
Thank you for the appreciation, Jubba Cari! And thanks for watching!
my FL did not address the nasal labial folds and the loose skin around my mouth - very disappointed. what complementary procedures do you recommend. I lost a lot of volume in my face due diet and age. my buccal fat pads are very prominent as they are the only place I have fat! My skin is very thin and fragile according to the doctor who performed the FL. I assume I should avoid any lasers but I do need skin tightening as well as volume. thanks!.
Hi tectonicblond,
Nasolabial folds, and mesolabial folds are more of a result of facial volume loss due to aging, rather than facial skin and soft tissue laxity from aging. While a physical examination is needed to determine the right combination of complementary procedures for you, you can refer to this recent video on how volume enhancement and other procedures can enhance and improve the results of a surgical facelift - ua-cam.com/video/sR3_FoNC87I/v-deo.html
I worry about hypertrophic or keloid scarring :/
What do you think of fat transfer to address the bone loss? It’s difficult to find a good injector wish you’d open a branch office in CA
Hi Lisa Austin,
Grafted fat cannot be placed at the bone level like filler can because grafted fat needs to take to a new blood supply to remain viable. Filler can be placed at the bone level since it doesn't require a blood supply, with the overlying muscle layer preventing it from migrating. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/kpkIuOXkloI/v-deo.html
What is the cost of SMAS ful facelift in ur practice. Such as forehead lift, upper and lower 👀. Lids mid face to jaw line and neck
Thanks
Hi grace period,
We don’t have set costs for surgery as each patient has different needs, and some surgeries are more extensive than others. You can contact our offices or our websites for a price range.
Our offices are located in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336. You can also reach us through www.prasadcosmeticsurgery.com, www.puffyeyes.com, or www.eyelifts.com by filling out a contact form, and we will get back to you. I hope to hear from you soon.
I would appreciate if you showed a couple pictures of older women that got a facelift. I’m 72 and would love to see how they turned out. Thank you
Hi Dona Glosser,
The video features several patients in your age, and some even a little older. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I just had a lower facelift and neck lift. It fell after six months. I’m 70 the doctor said it didn’t work because of my age. Is a revision the only fix? Thank you.
Hi Lauren Christenson,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I would need to perform a physical examination of your face and neck to determine the best approach for your situation. Often we can improve facelift results with non-surgical volume enhancement, but I would need examine your facial tissue to determine if additional surgery is needed. I hope this helps you.
Please come to the Bangladesh. I mite you. Please please please
Thank you, Safa Arafat!
Can you give average costs of each? Would love (and need to do something) but cost is a real factor for single working mothers; the lowest end of the pay scale, and especially by a New York practitioner. These procedures aren’t covered by health insurance which is outrageously expensive in itself.
Hi CapeKell,
Sorry to hear about your situation. Surgical facelifts should be seen as an investment in yourself, and I don't recommend shopping for price as there will always be compromises by the surgeon who offers them for a lower price, such as making up the difference by seeing more patients, and spending less time on the procedure. Having a lower cost procedure now has a higher tendency for a more expensive revision soon after.
That being said, we don’t have set costs for surgery as each patient has different needs, and some surgeries are more extensive than others. You can contact our offices or our websites for a price range. Our offices are located in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336.

I like you MD Amiya Prasad..
Thank you for the kind words, Safa Arafat!
Did the 87 year old patience recover well.? After 75 is it dangerous. How long do you have the bennefit
Hi Helena Hakkaart,
Yes, she did recover well as she was healthy for age. There are individual health, and age factors that are considered before determining if someone is a good candidate for facelift surgery. The age of when you have facelift surgery is an important factor for the longevity of benefits. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/ZNQ3B9c_hjE/v-deo.html
Wouldn't structural volumizing make the face wider? Also, it has to be repeated every two years?
Hi dam mar,
The point of Structural Volumizing is to give the face more volume, projection, and definition, but still looking natural. The time in between treatments does depend on the individual patient, and how long their rate of metabolization of the filler is as it is possible in some people to last more than two years. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I am 37 and considering a lower facelift because i have jowls and marionette lines . I have no bottom teeth at the bank and ive lost bone structure around this area i think thats why it looks saggy. Makes sense that bone structure comes into play . I have tried filler but very little improvements. I now think a facelift wouldn't work especially when my bone structure in my jawline isnt great
Hi @JenniferBlack-hs8md,
37 is generally too young for a surgical facelift. Jowls, marionette lines, and the appearance of sagging at your age can be improved with volume enhancement. You can can refer to these videos about it:
ua-cam.com/video/B1IBbQH3HAQ/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/rCjuUAofEFU/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/bMBm37wFwNE/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/o5WRIwrVeVI/v-deo.html
So facelifts could be good but they don’t address bone loss … and fillers at the bone level might have to be addded ? Is that it
