Facial Procedures in Albany NY
Facial Procedures in Albany NY
Facial surgery and rejuvenation options for the neck, jawline, eyelids, brow, nose, chin, and facial balance.
Facial procedures at DeLuca Plastic Surgery are planned around what is actually changing: loose skin, facial descent, neck laxity, eyelid heaviness, brow position, nasal shape, chin projection, or overall facial balance. The right plan may include facelift and neck lift surgery, eyelid surgery, brow lift, rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, facial implants, injectables, or a combination approach.
Facial aging, neck laxity, eyelid heaviness, nasal imbalance, weak chin projection, or facial proportion concerns.
The best procedure depends on whether the concern is skin, muscle, fat, bone structure, volume, or expression.
Your Facial Procedure Options

Different facial procedures solve different problems. Choosing the correct procedure starts with identifying the feature and anatomy responsible for the concern.
Face & Neck Lift — Tri-Harmony Lift®
For jowls, loose neck skin, neck bands, jawline aging, and deeper lower-face descent.
Neck Fat Removal
For localized fullness beneath the chin when fat is the main concern and skin quality is appropriate.
Eyelid Surgery
For heavy upper lids, under-eye bags, hooding, or eyelid aging that creates a tired appearance.
Rhinoplasty
For structural changes to nasal shape, profile, tip, nostril width, facial balance, or breathing when needed.
Liquid Rhinoplasty
For selected contour irregularities that can be temporarily camouflaged with filler. It adds volume and cannot reduce nasal size or structurally reshape bone and cartilage.
Brow Lift
For brow descent, forehead heaviness, or upper-eye crowding caused by a low brow position.
Chin Augmentation
For weak chin projection, profile imbalance, or lower-face proportions that may benefit from an implant or selected filler.
Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping)
For prominent ears or ear-shape concerns. Selected patients can have treatment in the office under local anesthesia. Estimated cost: $4,500.
TCA Chemical Peels
For surface texture and uneven tone. We offer TCA peels in various strengths, selected for your skin and goals. $250 per treatment.
Your Consultation
Clear recommendations based on facial anatomy, goals, and proportion.
Your consultation includes a review of your facial concerns, medical history, skin quality, facial volume, eyelid anatomy, brow position, neck laxity, jawline contour, nasal balance, chin projection, and whether a surgical or non-surgical plan makes the most sense.

Recovery & Planning
Recovery depends on the facial procedure.
Recovery after facial surgery varies widely. Eyelid surgery may have a shorter recovery than facelift or rhinoplasty. Injectables usually involve minimal downtime, while implants or combined facial procedures require more planning.
Swelling, bruising, incision care, and several weeks of staged recovery are expected.
Bruising, swelling, and temporary tightness are common during early healing.
Swelling changes gradually, and final nasal refinement may take months.
Most patients return quickly, but bruising, swelling, and touch-up planning may occur.
Honest Guidance
When a facial procedure may not be the right choice yet.
When to wait
Active nicotine use, uncontrolled medical issues, unrealistic expectations, or major life timing conflicts may make it safer to delay surgery.
When injectables are not enough
Filler and Botox can help early aging, but they cannot reliably lift heavy skin, correct jowls, or remove neck laxity.
When surgery is too much
If the concern is mild, non-surgical treatments may be a better starting point than facial surgery.

Facial Procedures FAQ
What is the difference between facelift and neck lift?
A facelift improves lower facial aging such as jowls and facial descent. A neck lift focuses on neck laxity, bands, and under-chin contour. They are often combined.
Will eyelid surgery make me look different?
The goal of eyelid surgery is usually to look more rested and open, not to change your identity or create an unnatural eye shape.
Is rhinoplasty only cosmetic?
Rhinoplasty can be cosmetic, functional, or both, depending on whether the goal is appearance, breathing, nasal structure, or facial balance.
Can Botox lift the brow?
Botox can sometimes create a subtle brow-lift effect in selected patients, but more significant brow descent usually requires brow lift surgery.
What improves a weak chin?
Chin projection may be improved with filler, fat grafting, or a chin implant depending on the amount of change desired and the anatomy.
