The art of
becoming
yourself.
Ovadia Plastic Surgery is a private practice serving New York and New Jersey, where Dr. Steven Ovadia sculpts results that feel inevitable — quietly elegant, unmistakably you.
The Deep-Plane
Facelift
Not a lift that pulls skin. A lift that repositions the deeper tissue layer — restoring the architecture of your face with results that look like you, simply ten years earlier.
- No visible scars — incisions hidden within natural contours
- Deep-plane technique preserves facial expression and movement
- Customized to bone structure, not a one-size template
- Performed under twilight sedation — no general anesthesia
