Considering a facelift in Long Island? You’re not alone. Long Island has become a destination for patients looking for natural, long-lasting facial rejuvenation, with board-certified surgeons, advanced techniques, and a patient-first approach. At Kashan, we’ve had plenty of experience delivering life-changing facelifts over the years. Here’s what we think makes a facelift in Long Island a smart, confidence-boosting choice.

1. A Return to Natural Contours
Over time, your facial structure changes. This is natural; your cheeks flatten, skin loosens, and features shift. A facelift helps turn back the clock and restore what’s been lost, bringing definition back to your jawline, cheeks, and neck. The way it does this is by:

• Tightening skin and underlying tissues
• Repositioning facial fat to enhance volume
• Delivering subtle, natural-looking improvements

You’ll still look like you, just fresher and more vibrant.

2. Midface Volume Comes Back Where It Belongs
One of the earliest and most noticeable changes in the aging face happens in the midface. That’s the area spanning the cheeks, lower eyelids, and upper nasolabial folds. As you age, fat pads that once supported this area begin to descend due to gravity and the gradual weakening of connective tissue. At the same time, you naturally lose facial volume. Together, these changes create a hollowed or sunken look under the eyes, flatten the cheeks, and deepen the creases around the nose and mouth.

Dr. Kashan focuses on:

• Lifting the cheek area to reduce sagging
• Smoothing the transition between the lower eyelids and cheeks
• Restoring a healthy, refreshed appearance

This creates harmony across your face, not just a lift in one area.

3. No More Jowls
Jowling can be one of the more frustrating signs of aging. That soft sagging along the jawline tends to appear suddenly and stick around stubbornly. A well-executed facelift, especially in the hands of a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Kashan, targets the underlying structures of the face. By lifting and tightening the deeper layers, the jawline is redefined and jowls are dramatically reduced.

4. The Neck Gets the Attention It Deserves
It’s easy to focus on the face when thinking about rejuvenation, but the neck plays just as important a role in your overall appearance. In fact, signs of aging often show up on the neck even earlier than they do on the face. Loose skin, muscle banding, and fullness under the chin can all contribute to an older, less defined profile. That’s why many of today’s most effective facelift procedures, especially those performed by top Long Island plastic surgeons like Dr. Kashan, include some level of neck enhancement. Treating the face and neck together creates smoother, more natural-looking results, so there’s no noticeable disconnect between the two.

Neck rejuvenation often includes:

• Tightening sagging or crepey skin
• Reducing fat beneath the chin (double chin)
• Eliminating vertical bands by adjusting neck muscles
• Improving definition between the jawline and neck

Patients often say the improvement in their neck is one of the most surprising and satisfying parts of their facelift results.

5. Softens Deep Wrinkles and Folds
When we reposition facial tissue at a deeper level, we reduce the appearance of lines that no topical product or injectable can fully erase. This includes the deeper creases like nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The change is subtle but noticeable: you’ll still have expression, but it won’t be defined by etched lines.

6. Fine Lines and Skin Texture Improve
You might be surprised by how much smoother your skin looks after a facelift. While the procedure isn’t a skin treatment in the traditional sense, lifting and repositioning the skin can significantly improve its surface appearance. Many patients notice fewer fine lines around the cheeks and jawline, along with a firmer, more refined texture overall. Because the skin is re-draped rather than pulled, the result is a naturally smoother look, not overly tight or artificial. When paired with a good post-operative skincare routine, these improvements can be long-lasting and noticeably enhance your overall glow. For many, it’s an unexpected bonus that makes the entire experience even more rewarding.

7. Long-Lasting Results
While injectables like fillers or Botox can make subtle improvements, they’re temporary and usually need to be repeated every few months. A facelift, by contrast, addresses the deeper layers of the face, lifting and repositioning the tissues that have shifted with age. That means your results are structural, and that’s why they can last 10 to 15 years or more.

When your results are long-lasting, you don’t have to constantly chase improvements or schedule regular touch-ups. You’ll still continue to age naturally, of course, but from a more youthful, refreshed starting point. And for many people, that’s incredibly freeing. A well-done facelift can reduce your reliance on fillers and help you feel more confident in your skin every day, without needing to think about your next appointment.

8. A One-and-Done Option
Many patients come to us after years of trying non-surgical fixes: fillers, lasers, threads. While these can help in the short term, they often don’t provide the cohesive lift that a facelift delivers. Instead of addressing one area at a time, a facelift offers a comprehensive solution.

• Treats multiple areas in one procedure
• Offers full-face harmony, not just spot fixes
• Reduces the need for repeat treatments down the line

9. Confidence You Can Feel
This is about more than just the mirror. Patients often report a renewed sense of confidence socially, professionally, and personally. We see it again and again: patients stand taller, smile more, and carry themselves with new confidence after surgery. When you feel good in your skin, it shows.
