Lafer Facial Plastic Surgery

The practice sits on Park Avenue and combines surgical procedures with in-office non-surgical treatments for the face, neck, nose and eyes. Nose work covers rhinoplasty in cosmetic, functional and revision forms, along with septoplasty, turbinate surgery, repair after nasal trauma and treatment of rhinophyma. Rhinoplasty is described as a structural procedure, usually done with an open approach. For a broken nose, the practice notes that a closed reset without incisions can be done within about 2.5 weeks of injury, and that corrective surgery is generally considered at least 6 months after the injury.

Face and neck services include face and necklift surgery, facial fat grafting (fat taken from the abdomen or thighs and placed in areas of volume loss), earlobe reduction, and periocular surgery such as upper eyelid lifts and browlifts. For the jawline and neck, FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction through a small incision and suits mild to moderate skin excess. Submental and cervical liposuction are performed in the office under local anesthesia. Ear surgery is offered as traditional or incisionless otoplasty; adults can have it in the office under local anesthesia, while children have it under general anesthesia. Patients with more extensive skin excess or prominent neck muscle bands are directed toward a more comprehensive procedure.

Non-surgical services include botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers, Morpheus8 by InMode radiofrequency microneedling, and a FACTORFIVE chemical peel. Toxin treatments are priced by area and touch-ups are included. New injectable patients return for a follow-up 1-2 weeks after the first visit. Morpheus8 is often recommended as a series of three, and the peel is usually done as a series of four spaced 7-10 days apart. The practice also handles reconstruction, including laceration repair, Mohs repair and scar revision, and offers pediatric ear pinning, laceration repair and septoplasty.

Office hours are Monday 9AM to 5PM, Tuesday 8AM to 6PM, and Wednesday through Friday 9AM to 5PM. The surgeon prefers to meet patients and their families once they are considering surgery, so the procedure and process can be discussed in detail.

Each patient is evaluated individually, and a treatment plan is worked out together with them.
