Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Jonathan Cabin
Sourced directly from Dr. Jonathan Cabin's social posts and replies.
How does a deep structural neck lift differ from treatments for superficial fat?
Unlike treatments such as liposuction that only address superficial fat, a deep structural neck lift targets deeper fat, muscles, and glands for more comprehensive neck contouring.
How does Dr. Cabin explain facial aging during consultations?
Dr. Cabin uses a specific method to break down and explain facial aging to patients during consultations, ensuring they understand his approach.
What is Dr. Cabin's incision technique for a deep structural neck lift?
Dr. Cabin performs deep structural neck lifts using a single, small incision placed discreetly under the chin, with no incisions around the ears.
What is Dr. Cabin's incision technique for buccal fat reduction?
Buccal fat reduction is performed through tiny incisions made inside the mouth, with no external incisions, ensuring a 'scarless' result.
What does a deep structural neck lift address?
A deep structural neck lift treats the underlying structural elements of the neck, including deeper fat, muscles, and glands, for comprehensive contouring.
What causes early dissatisfaction with neck contour?
For patients who have been dissatisfied with their neck contour from a younger age, Dr. Cabin finds that deeper structures like fat, muscles, and glands are almost always the primary culprits.
What does an upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) treat?
Upper blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift, specifically addresses and treats excess skin on the upper eyelid.
What does ptosis repair address?
Ptosis repair is a procedure that corrects the position of the eyelid relative to the iris and pupil, often to improve vision and appearance.
Are upper blepharoplasty and ptosis repair often combined?
Yes, Dr. Cabin frequently finds that both upper blepharoplasty and ptosis repair are necessary to achieve comprehensive upper eyelid rejuvenation.
What happens if ptosis is not addressed during an upper blepharoplasty?
If a patient has ptosis, performing only an upper blepharoplasty without also addressing the ptosis can paradoxically make the patient look more tired after surgery, even if the blepharoplasty is well-executed.
Why is sun protection important for skin health and post-facelift longevity?
UV damage is a major factor in skin aging, as it breaks down collagen and elastin, essential for firm, youthful skin. Excess sun exposure can also darken scars and make them more noticeable. Therefore, daily SPF, hats, and sun protection are critical after surgery, especially during the healing phase, to maintain results and optimize scar appearance.
How do weight changes affect facelift results?
Significant weight gain or loss alters facial fat volume and skin tension, which can affect facial definition and reduce the longevity of a facelift outcome. Maintaining a stable weight is crucial for more stable and longer-lasting results.
What is Dr. Cabin's follow-up process after surgery?
The practice diligently follows up on patient recovery, often tracking results for at least six months to ensure optimal outcomes.
Does Dr. Cabin perform 'scarless' lower blepharoplasty?
Yes, Dr. Cabin performs 'scarless' lower blepharoplasty, aiming for minimal to no visible scarring.

Industry Payments
Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Compared to peers
Modest
Dr. Jonathan Cabin received $686 across 11 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..
What this means for your care
- A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
- Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
- Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
- A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
