Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Justin C. Cohen

Sourced directly from Dr. Justin C. Cohen's social posts and replies.

What is a Preservation Deep Plane Facelift and how is it different?
The Preservation Deep Plane Facelift is Dr. Cohen's standard technique for every patient. It is a newer style facelift that differs from others by doing less skin separation in the mid-face and neck, preserving more natural skin attachments. This approach is believed to lead to better recovery, improved overall results, and a comprehensive improvement extending all the way down to the chest, particularly in the lower neck.
Source →
What are Dr. Cohen's recommendations for preparing for a facelift?
To maximize your facelift results and healing, Dr. Cohen recommends maximizing nutrition by focusing on whole, nutrient-rich foods like proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Supplements such as vitamin C, bromelain, arnica, and zinc can also aid healing. It's crucial to limit nicotine products for at least four weeks and alcohol for a few weeks before surgery to decrease systemic inflammation. Additionally, avoid non-surgical treatments like injectables and threads prior to surgery, as they can increase inflammation and affect both surgical planning and post-operative healing.
Source →
What are realistic expectations for facelift results?
Facelift procedures are not 'magic erasers' and will not fix everything. Dr. Cohen advises patients to set appropriate, realistic expectations, as the best possible result typically achieves about an 80% improvement. Understanding this expectation beforehand is key to greater satisfaction with the outcome.
Source →
What are common recovery expectations after facial rejuvenation surgeries?
Common issues during recovery include swelling, bruising, eyes swollen shut, drains, and difficulty sleeping. Difficulty sleeping is almost universal, with patients often not sleeping well for at least a week, experiencing catnaps rather than an 'eight-hour beauty nap.' Your body will be tired as 100% of its resources are directed towards healing. Drains are typically in for the first few days. Bruising and swelling can often appear later (days 2-4), and with thin, fair skin, bruises can sometimes 'stain' and take over a month to settle. By the second week, patients should start feeling 'a little bit more towards human being again.'
Source →
What is the recovery like specifically for an upper lip lift?
Dr. Cohen considers the lip lift to have the hardest recovery among facial rejuvenation procedures because it's located in the center of the face, making it impossible to ignore. Patients will feel tightness every time they talk, laugh, or breathe. While the lip may look 'more normal' to others in two to three weeks, patients will not feel it being 'more normal' for at least two to three months. The practice ensures these specific recovery expectations are thoroughly discussed with patients.
Source →
What does a CO2 laser treatment look like immediately after?
Immediately after a CO2 laser treatment, the treated area on the face will appear brown and crunchy.
Source →
How are facelift and brow lift incisions hidden, and what about old scars?
Facelift incisions are hidden within the natural contours of the hairline. Brow lift incisions are hidden in the hair and at specific points on the forehead. Dr. Cohen's practice is able to completely remove old, prominent scars from previous surgeries, and new scars created with a deep plane tension-free closure technique are expected to heal much better.
