PERSPECTIVES FROM Dr. Funt

AI-assisted profile summary
natural-lookinglong-lastingcomprehensivedeep-plane

Signature technique

Dr. David Funt's signature technique centers on the deep plane facelift, an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure designed for comprehensive facial restructuring. This approach specifically addresses the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer, which is crucial for achieving significant and lasting results. Unlike traditional facelift methods, the deep plane technique involves releasing and repositioning the SMAS layer along with the overlying skin. This deeper manipulation of facial tissues allows for natural-looking rejuvenation and is known to create outcomes that typically last longer than those achieved with more superficial lifting methods, reflecting a commitment to durable and aesthetically pleasing results.

Ask Dr. Funt about the technique

Recovery view

Dr. David Funt's practice, Funt Aesthetics, approaches post-operative care with an understanding of New York's fast-paced lifestyle, recognizing that patients often seek expedited recovery timelines. Following deep plane facelift surgery, recovery protocols are typically designed to allow most patients to return to social activities within 14 to 21 days. This timeframe reflects a commitment to facilitating a relatively swift return to daily life while ensuring proper healing. The emphasis is on structured recovery that aligns with the demands of a busy urban environment, helping patients integrate back into their routines efficiently after their procedure.

Ask Dr. Funt about your recovery

Who is a candidate

Dr. David Funt's approach to patient candidacy begins with a thorough facial analysis during the consultation process. This detailed assessment allows him to discuss achievable outcomes specifically through deep plane techniques, ensuring that patient expectations are aligned with realistic surgical possibilities. While his practice is known for deep plane facelifts, his versatility in facial plastic surgery, including experience with rhinoplasty as noted in patient reviews, indicates a comprehensive understanding of facial aesthetics. This broader expertise allows him to evaluate each patient's unique facial structure and recommend the most appropriate and effective procedures to achieve their desired rejuvenation goals.

Ask Dr. Funt about whether you're a candidate

Pricing philosophy

Dr. David Funt's practice operates within the New York market, where pricing for deep plane facelift procedures reflects several key factors. The New York market is known for commanding premium pricing compared to other U.S. regions, which is attributed to both higher overhead costs associated with operating in Manhattan and the concentration of highly trained surgeons available to patients. Pricing at Funt Aesthetics, therefore, aligns with these market dynamics, with variations based on the surgeon's extensive experience, facility costs, and the specific services included in each patient's tailored treatment plan. This approach acknowledges the value of specialized expertise and comprehensive care in a competitive environment.

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
