The Modern Facelift: Not Your Grandma’s Facelift

A woman in pink pajamas smiles as she looks at herself in a round mirror, touching her neck gently with one hand.

Facelift surgery has come a long way in the past 20 years. Gone are the days of pulled, wind-swept appearances and long hospital stays. Thanks to cutting-edge techniques and regenerative therapies, the modern facelift is more refined, more natural, and more effective than ever, especially when performed by an expert like Dr. Maurice M. Khosh in New York City.

If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and starting to notice sagging skin, jowling, or volume loss, it may be time to rethink what a facelift can offer today.

The Evolution of the Facelift

Traditional facelift procedures focused mainly on tightening skin. The result? A stretched, artificial look that often didn’t last. Today’s facelifts go much deeper—literally.

At the forefront of modern facial rejuvenation is the deep plane facelift, a technique that lifts and repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue, not just the skin. Dr. Khosh specializes in this advanced method, which provides:

  • More natural results with preserved facial expression
  • Longer-lasting effects, often 10+ years
  • Improved midface volume and cheek structure
  • Minimal tension on the skin, reducing scarring

This approach redefines the cheeks, jawline, and neck in a way that simply wasn’t possible with older facelift styles.

Enhancing Results with Regenerative Medicine

Today’s facelift procedures don’t stop at lifting tissue. Modern technology allows surgeons to improve skin quality and accelerate healing through biological treatments such as:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP involves using the patient’s own blood to concentrate healing platelets, which are then injected or applied during surgery. This boosts collagen production, improves skin texture, and speeds recovery.

Stem Cell-Enriched Fat Transfer

Combining a facelift with fat grafting from the patient’s own body (often enhanced with stem cells) restores lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. It also improves skin elasticity over time.

Growth Factor Serums and Exosomes

Some NYC practices now incorporate growth factors or exosomes post-operatively to support cellular regeneration. These technologies improve recovery, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall results.

Reduced Downtime, Better Recovery

With modern facelift techniques and the integration of regenerative treatments, patients in New York City can now experience:

  • Shorter recovery times (most return to social activities within 10–14 days)
  • Less swelling and bruising
  • Fewer complications
  • More comfortable healing process

In a fast-paced city like NYC, where time is precious, minimizing downtime is essential, and modern facelift methods make it possible.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Modern Facelift?

If you’re noticing:

  • Sagging around the jawline or neck
  • Deep nasolabial folds
  • Loss of midface volume
  • Skin laxity that fillers can’t fix

If these sound familiar, you may be an excellent candidate for a deep plane facelift with regenerative enhancements. Most patients fall within the age range of 45 to 70, although suitability depends on individual anatomy, goals, and health status.

Meredith G.
Saw Dr. Khosh for a fractured nose. He reset my nose beautifully (and with little discomfort to me) and then discussed some of my sinus issues with me upon my follow up visit. Never felt like he was rushing me out and felt very confident in his abilities. I would highly recommend to anyone needing plastic or reconstructive options!
Jackie C.
Great front office, really good experience after what was a terrible accident. I was made to feel comfortable. Dr. Khosh is very good at what he does. I'm still healing but I'm confident of the results
Kaitlin M.
Dr. Khosh takes exceptional care of his patients. He has operated on me twice, each time making me feel extremely comfortable and satisfied with the results. His staff is also very kind and knowledgeable.

Joann M.
After visiting and being evaluated by several doctors, I kept going back to Dr. Khosh. His tranquil spirit and professionalism were captivating. Thank you for a job well done and keeping me calm throughout the entire process. A special thanks to your staff Susan and Christine for all of their support as well. Hi highly recommend Dr. Khosh.
Leah G.
Upon hearing of the overwhelmingly positive experience a friend of mine had in choosing Dr. Khosh as her surgeon, I decided to make an appointment for my own septoplasty/rhinoplasty/turbinate reduction. Although I was slightly skeptical as the praise I had heard seemed a bit hyperbolic, all uncertainty dissipated after meeting the Doctor and his staff. My pre- and post-operative experience was excellent in terms of concerns adequately addressed prior to the surgery and mitigation of any bruising in the convalescent period. Despite my apparent predisposition to rather slower healing, a year after the surgery, my nose looks really pretty and my breathing entirely unobstructed! I highly recommend Dr. Khosh!
Courtney G.
AMAZING!!!!!! I had Dr Khosh perform lipo on my chin/neck and my result is unbelievable! Better than I could have expected! I met with a couple of surgeons and the second I met with Dr Khosh I knew he was the one I was going with. He was compassionate and explained every detail of what would take place during the surgery and what to expect during recovery. I even emailed a few times during recovery with various questions and he got right back to me asap which was really comforting! I honestly fully recommend Dr Khosh, he did an amazing job and is an amazing person.

Not only does his work speak for himself, but he has excellent bedside manner. His kindness and patience is above and beyond. He takes the time to answer to every question you have to help you understand the process while at the same time making you feel so comfortable. From the first consultation i knew i was in good hands. I am so pleased with the result and forever thankful.
