Face Lift

If you are considering face lift surgery, chances are you are wondering what you should look for in a plastic surgeon. We’d like to acquaint you with a surgeon who truly distinguishes himself from his peers.

In Dr. James Goodnight, you will find a true master of the face lift. At his North Haledon, New Jersey plastic surgery practice, he consistently produces results that meet, and often exceed, the expectations of his patients. His passion for cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgery extends back to his days in medical school; he knew even then that he was hungry for the challenges presented by this most demanding field of medicine. It is this passion that continues to fuel his pursuit of excellence in plastic surgery.

As with liposuction, Dr. Goodnight uses tumescent local anesthesia to perform face lift surgery. This technique involves the injection of a fluid containing lidocaine (which numbs the face) and epinephrine (which helps to reduce bleeding) into the facial skin. Dr. Goodnight then uses the Smartlipo® liposuction cannula to do the initial dissection. He prefers using this device as it seals the blood vessels prior to making the incisions. With the blood vessels sealed, bruising is minimal, and healing is rapid.

The goal of the face lift is to remove excess skin and tissue and tighten the remaining skin and underlying musculature to rejuvenate the face. The appearance of wrinkles and fine lines will be dramatically diminished, yet the results will be completely natural looking. Because Dr. Goodnight uses the most discreet, well-concealed incisions possible, visible scarring will be minimal. Likewise, he uses his well-developed artistic sensibilities to ensure that the facial looks healthy and vibrant rather than “pulled back.”

Dr. Goodnight carefully tailors the face lift procedure to each patient’s unique needs and goals. In many cases, he suggests that patients augment their face lift results with a fat transfer procedure. Fact lift surgery can also be combined with other facial procedures, including eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, cosmetic ear surgery, and neck and jowl tightening using the Smartlipo® laser.

Dr. Goodnight is one of the rare plastic surgeons who is certified by three of the nation’s most highly respected medical boards: the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the American Board of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery. He did his head and neck surgery training at one of the top five programs in the United States, the prestigious UCLA Medical Center, where he performed hundreds of cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgeries. He spent much of his chief residency year training with the facial plastic surgery masters in Beverly Hills. He then served a facial plastic surgery fellowship, during which he refined his training and mastered his techniques. Since establishing his practice, he has returned to the West Coast three times to train with the inventor of tumescent body liposuction under local anesthesia, Dr. Jeffrey Klein.

It is rare to encounter a plastic surgeon with Dr. Goodnight’s educational and training background, experience, skill, and history of successful results. He would be pleased to explain further how he can help you make your dreams a reality during a confidential face lift consultation at his North Haledon office.
