Conveniently located to serve New York City & Beyond

A DREEAM facelift is a procedure to enhance the normal facial anatomy without undergoing invasive surgery. DREEAM stands for Directly Redistribute, Equalize, or Enhance Adipose Mounds.

*Model

As we age, the face deflates and the skin can sag due to loss of elasticity. Initially the face deflates, and the loss of skin elasticity usually follows. For some patients, restoring lost volume can significantly enhance the facial appearance without requiring a surgical facelift. Using hyaluronic acid filler products such as Restylane Lyft, Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Voluma, and/or Restylane can directly enhance and equalize the face to restore a youthful appearance. This can improve the appearance of deflated cheeks, jowls, marionette lines, naoslabial folds, temporal hollows, tear troughs, and jaw line depressions. The face can often be enhanced as well by neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport at the same time as a DFL.

About

Unlike a facelift, the DFL is a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation. It does not require sedation or general anesthesia. It is performed in the office setting, often just using topical anesthetic creams. It is a fairly quick procedure that can take less than 30 minutes to perform. There is usually no significant downtime or need for a specific recovery period. Patients leave the office with an immediate improvement. The most common side effects are mild bruising and some swelling. Swelling usually goes down within a few days and most patients will not see any bruising.

I had my first consultation with Dr. Wallach in February 2012 to discuss body-contouring procedures after massive weight loss. I had seen two plastic surgeons prior to Dr. Wallach. From the very moment that I received a phone call from the patient coordinator I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Wallach listened and answered all of my questions and was very patient. In May 2012 I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with a fleur d’lis. Dr. Wallach was there every step of the way. I had never met a doctor more dedicated to his patients. While other plastic surgeons were willing to do an entire body lift at once Dr. Wallach would not compromise his patients’ health. He is honest, caring, and above all a very competent surgeon. I would strongly recommend his care to anyone considering a procedure. He is truly an exceptional surgeon, whose expertise far outweighs other surgeons in his field. The quality of Dr. Wallach’s patient care and bedside manner is far superior to that of other plastic surgeons with whom I have consulted, and the passion he exhibits for his profession is second to none. Dr Wallach’s first priority is always patient health and safety, and is unwilling to compromise either for fiscal gain. This is not something I can say about the other plastic surgeons I consulted with, who were willing to perform any elaborate, complicated, and much more risk-laden surgery because “the price was right.” I would not go to any other surgeon and I am looking forward to my next procedure with Dr. Wallach.

I was referred to and met Dr. Wallach in late January 2014 regarding having a BBL procedure done, Dr. Wallach easy going personality and professionalism put my mind at ease. I have unique medical issues and after speakina with him I knew he was the perfect physician for my procedure. My surgery was scheduled for mid-February and it went without a hitch. Mind you the day of the surgery there was a big snowstorm; but everyone on the team including myself made it in safely. Dr. Wallach was very informative on the day of surgery: explaining evey step to me and my husband. He was caring and made sure everything was being done to ensure our privacy and that I was comfortable. I must say I was very satisfied with the results and still am. I would definitely go back to Dr Wallach for any future work and would highly recommend him! His office assistant Nicole is a sweet heart and thank them both for the loving care. I have received endless compliments and owe Dr. Wallach a multitude of gratitude!!!!!

Candidates

In general, a candidate for a DFL is a person who has moderate deflation of the face with mild sagging skin. It may also be an alternative for someone who does not want a surgical facelift, or has a medical condition precluding the ability to have surgery.

Recovery

For the majority of patients there is no recovery! Most patients can go back to work after the procedure. Some swelling and maybe minor soreness from injections is possible. On occasion, a patient may get a bruise. Cold packs or ice packs used intermittently and conservatively may help with swelling and bruising.
