This is a frequently asked question and the answer is frequently no! Dr. Niamtu routinely sees plus sized patients that were told by other surgeons that they needed to lose 50-80 lbs. before having  a facelift. As long as patients are in good health, many patients who are overweight can successfully have facelift surgery without losing […]

After performing almost 1,000 facelift procedures, Dr. Niamtu has been able to eliminate bandages and drains from all facelift operations. The only bandage Dr. Niamtu uses with facelift surgery is a light “collar” that fits loosely around the neck which is only required for the first night after surgery.  In addition, Dr. Niamtu does not […]

The decision to have cosmetic surgery is a big one and involves much planning on the part of the surgeon’s office and patient life. It is not a decision to rush into and experience has shown that patients that rush into surgery without the proper planning and details have more problems than patients that think out and prepare […]

Although there are many types of facelifts, Dr. Niamtu performs a […]

Like most things in life, there is no clear cut answer for this question, but doing some homework can pay off in the long run.  There are several misleading myths that confuse patients.  Myth number one is “only have a board certified plastic surgeon do your surgery”.  Obviously, your surgeon should be board certified, but […]

My favorite surgical procedure is facelift and I am one of the busiest facelift surgeons in the state, as I will do about 90 face and neck lifts a year. The average plastic surgeon performs less than 10 facelifts per year (1). The reason I enjoy performing facelifts is that it is truly the ultimate […]
