The decision to pursue a facelift is rarely small. The procedure represents an investment of significant time, money, and emotional energy — and the difference between a result that takes ten years off naturally and one that announces itself as obvious surgery comes down almost entirely to the surgeon performing it. For patients in New York City and the surrounding tri-state area considering facelift surgery, Dr. John Anastasatos’s Beverly Hills practice offers the surgical training and aesthetic refinement that draw patients from across the country. Many New York patients combine consultation, surgery, and early recovery into a single coordinated trip — making the procedure efficient and discreet for East Coast patients who prefer to recover away from their daily lives.

Dr. Anastasatos brings a uniquely direct New York connection to facelift surgery: he completed his General Surgery residency at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York — one of the most rigorous general surgical training programs in the country and the foundation of his subsequent plastic surgery work. He has also been an invited lecturer at the Royal Society of Medicine in London on advanced facelift techniques including the deep plane facelift, with an invited 2026 return as featured speaker. Board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and named by The Luxe Insider as one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the World.

What a Facelift Addresses

A comprehensive facelift simultaneously addresses descent of the malar fat pad in the cheek, deepening nasolabial folds, jowl formation along the jawline, nasojugal folds beneath the eyes, loss of jaw definition, and upper neck laxity. Proper midface elevation — repositioning the malar fat pad — is the foundation of an excellent facelift result, creating cheek fullness, removing jowls, and improving multiple visible signs of aging in a single coordinated operation.

The Facelift Approach

Dr. Anastasatos performs the full range of facelift options — mini, lower, deep plane, MACS/SMAS, percutaneous, fat transfer, and revision procedures — matched precisely to each patient’s anatomy and stage of facial aging. The approach is built around hairline preservation, ensuring incisions are placed to preserve the natural sideburn and avoid the hairline distortion that signals an obvious facelift result. Most facelift patients also benefit from concurrent eyelid surgery and endoscopic brow lift for harmonious upper-and-mid-face rejuvenation.

For New York patients, the practice coordinates the consultation, surgical scheduling, and early recovery into a streamlined visit — typically allowing patients to be in Los Angeles for approximately two to three weeks total, with the most intensive post-operative care provided in the days immediately following surgery before patients return home for final recovery.

“My training at Columbia-Presbyterian shaped the surgical foundation I bring to every facelift. New York patients tend to recognize the rigor of that program — it’s part of what makes the conversation natural when they come to Beverly Hills for a facelift consultation. The technical standard I learned there continues to inform every procedure I perform.” — Dr. John Anastasatos
