Today's Facelift – Better Than Ever

The facelift is a tried and true procedure that has seen numerous innovations over the past century. Once a luxury reserved for an elite few, facelift surgery is now commonly performed for women and men from all walks of life who want to look great for their age.

A Natural Result

At Romanelli Cosmetic Surgery, we use the latest facelift techniques to restore a more youthful appearance that is noticeable, but natural. Older approaches to facelift surgery often created a taut or windblown look due to the fact that they primarily pulled the skin tighter. Dr. Romanelli, one of Long Island's most respected and experienced plastic surgeons, uses an approach that is multi-dimensional. He restores youthful contours to the face and neck by:

Repositioning underlying tissues
Tightening face and neck muscles
Eliminating fatty deposits
Re-draping the skin

Don't Wait to Rejuvenate

Most people don't want to sit idly by as the signs of aging worsen. It only makes sense to choose less invasive measures to slow the aging process, rather than resort to more drastic measures later on. For example, instead of waiting until you are in your 50s or 60s to have a full facelift, you may choose a mini facelift (also called an "anterior facelift" in your 40s or early 50s.

A mini facelift can correct the age-related changes in the lower face that become noticeable in your 30s and 40s. These include the deepening nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the mouth, sagging cheeks and drooping corners of the mouth.

The mini lift has numerous benefits including:

Shorter surgical & recovery time
Smaller incisions
Lower cost

But perhaps the most significant benefit is that it corrects the early signs of aging before they become pronounced, and lets you maintain your more youthful appearance for longer.

Insurance and Plastic Surgery

When plastic surgery procedures are considered necessary to restore a normal appearance, or to improve the health of a patient, health insurance may cover all or part of the cost.

Breast Reconstruction

Federal law requires that health insurance plans cover all phases of breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer. This includes:

Reconstruction of the affected breast
Breast reconstruction revision
Procedures necessary to match the other breast with the reconstructed breast

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction is sometimes covered by insurance, but this varies depending on your health insurance carrier and whether or not the procedure is deemed medically necessary. Some plans base their determination on the degree of reduction to be performed, and some require documentation of symptoms such as back and neck pain.

Post-Bariatric Plastic Surgery

Massive weight loss patients often require
post-bariatric plastic surgery to eliminate excess hanging skin and tissue that can cause discomfort and embarrassment. Many health insurance plans cover abdominoplasty or panniculectomy after massive weight loss with proper documentation.

At Romanelli Cosmetic Surgery, we have extensive experience in getting insurance company approval, and we will help you to obtain the maximum benefit for your procedure. For those procedures not covered by insurance, we offer a variety of financing options for your convenience.
