Philosophy

According to Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich, facelifts still remain the gold standard to really turn back the clock and take up to 15 years off a person’s appearance. Dr. Vasyukevich takes pride in his ability to look at a person’s face and know right away how to enhance its natural beauty. “Each patient requires a custom approach to give them the best aesthetic outcome and help them maintain it for many years to come,” he says. “I analyze the patient’s face and determine the best approach based on their facial type and unique features.”

About My Practice

How can minimally invasive procedures enhance surgery?

Each cosmetic procedure, whether surgical or minimally invasive, is designed to solve a unique set of problems. And, when used properly, the two can greatly complement each other. The most effective facial rejuvenation is achieved using a combination of both surgical and nonsurgical methods. Less-invasive techniques can tremendously improve a surgical outcome, creating a balanced, natural-looking result.

How has your field evolved in recent years?

It has almost become a requirement in our society to look young and energetic, both in the workplace and in our personal lives. It’s really a thing of the past for people to wait until they are in their 60s or 70s to start considering facial rejuvenation procedures. We’re now seeing much younger patients coming in for treatments that will help them prevent facial aging.

How do you enhance the patient experience?

We have a fully accredited surgical operating room in our office to provide convenience and comfort for our patients. As a part of our commitment to providing patients with the best possible results and rejuvenation, we also carry a unique scar-reducing skin-care product line. Visit purehealplus.com for more information.

What is your philosophy on facial rejuvenation?

A facelift is one of the most powerful tools to restore facial beauty. It can reduce wrinkles, improve skin laxity and create a more youthful contour. When I perform a facelift, my aesthetic goal is to rejuvenate the appearance by restoring an attractive neck angle, as well as a contoured jawline. Above all, a facelift should always look natural and balanced.

What type of skill set does facial plastic surgery require?

It requires technical ability and healthy perfectionism, as well as a good eye for aesthetics and beauty. The face is probably the most challenging part of the body to work with. Successful facial rejuvenation requires achieving a delicate balance between a smooth and youthful facial shape without crossing the line to a taught and unnatural facial appearance. This unique challenge also makes it extremely interesting and rewarding to be a facial plastic surgeon.

A Minute With

How my profession has evolved

There’s been significant progress
in facial rejuvenation. We’ve moved
toward using an integrative approach
to anti-aging by combining the most
advanced surgical and nonsurgical
procedures to achieve the best
possible results
My dream innovation

An incisionless facelift
What i love most about my profession

Having the ability to transform
someone’s appearance through
minimally invasive surgery that
results in a dramatic, but totally
natural-looking, appearance
The future of my field

The future of facial plastic surgery lies in developing new techniques to prevent changes caused by aging and learning how to maintain one’s youth for many years
The most outrageous medical myth i’ve heard

That facial surgery requires a lot
of downtime. Modern surgical
techniques have made it so patients
can recover quickly, with many
returning to work in two weeks
The biggest misconception about my field

That getting a facelift will result
in a “pulled” appearance. Today’s
facelifts are designed to produce
a natural, youthful appearance
without changing your features
What sets my practice apart

I am proud to say that I am most recognized for my facelifts, necklifts and cheek sculpting
What nonsurgical trends are you seeing at your practice?

We’ve been using fillers, fat grafting
and other nonsurgical treatments in
combination with facial rejuvenation
surgery to enhance and achieve the
most effective and precise results
What are you best known for?

Facelifts and necklifts—throughout
my years of experience, I’ve honed
my own signature techniques to
attain subtle, yet beautiful results
How i show patients i care post-treatment

Our patients often say they
feel like they are part of a family.
We take great pride in supporting
them with love and care. Our skilled
team understands that plastic
surgery is more than a physical
transformation—there’s a great
emotional component to it as well.
We guide patients throughout their
entire cosmetic journey

Testimonials

Incredible!

Valerie

"It feels and looks wonderful. Love looking myself again! Exactly what Dr. Konstantin said it would be. I highly recommend it!"

Dear Dr. Konstantin,

Lauren

"You truly are my hero. You are a strong and yet finely tuned artist, a sculptor of the face, a warm and wonderful doctor and a gentleman as well. I am so glad we did it! Not only I have gained a great youthfulness, but you've given me the jaw line and the neck I've wanted all my life since I was very young. You have my gratitude always for doing such a splendid and very fine work on this little face of mine."

I Couldn't Be Happier

"From the moment I met Dr. Konstantin I knew I would be in good hands. My first impression of him was that he was a meticulous person. It was an important criteria of mine as I feel if someone presents themselves in their best possible way then I can trust they will do the same for me. He is a friendly, kind and compassionate person. The staff is wonderful, thorough and professional. I had every confidence that things would go well and they certainly did. I am so completely happy with my results. I look better then I expected. It was so worth it. But with anything that requires surgery there was some moderate discomfort. I wouldn't call it pain but rather very uncomfortable for the first 2 weeks. After that it is a steady pace to looking and feeling better each day. I had a mid face lift and fat grafting under my eyes and around my mouth. I would recommend anyone who has hollow under their eyes or lines around lower mouth area to get the fat grafting. That gave me truly remarkable results. I had some pouching around my jowl area which the lift completely corrected. I send a blessing to Dr. Konstantin every time I look in the mirror. He is truly wonderful."

Facelift and Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty by Dr.Konstantin Vasyukevich - I Am Glad I Did It!

Anna D

"I am 62 and having a facelift and upper eyelid Blepharoplasty on 09/29/12. It had become too difficult to look in the mirror and I decided to improve my look. Procedure had been done by Dr.Konstantin Vasyukevich. I pass all after surgery stages and I'm delighted with my doctor's work. Dr. Konstantin is one of the best Plastic Surgeons around! He is a fantastic surgeon, skilled, compassionate and caring. My questions were answered thoroughly and completely with the Doctor on initial and follow up visits. He and his staff were always available for me to call with any questions or concerns pre or post-surgery. I particularly liked that the method of anesthesia used by Dr. Konstantin is much safer than and not as hard on your body as the general anesthesia used by another doctors. My incision lines are almost not visible from the beginning (I can barely even notice it). My appearance is so much improved after surgery, it exceeds my expectation, I looked younger and feel younger. I'm very happy with my results and would recommend Dr.Konstantin Vasyukevich to anyone who is feeling the way I used to. Age is just a number now!"

Age is Just a Number Now!

Anna D

"I am now 1 year out from my facelift and upper blepharoplasty surgery with Doctor Konstantin Vasykevich and I am very pleased with my results! I look very natural and not fake, which was important to me. I was so thankful to be under the care of such an amazing Plastic surgeon. He is the best Dr. with such a great personality. His office staff is very professional and helpful. I believe that he is an artist, and really cares. Special thank to Luba - Patient Care Coordinator. She is not only keeps track of our appointments, she really cares about patients before and after the surgery"

Irena K

"I'm so glad I finally did it! Was considering doing this procedure for years. I'm very grateful to Dr. Konstantin! He and his staff were very professional and caring, addressed all of my questions and needs before and after the procedure. My husband who is a medical doctor and a surgeon himself was amazed of how little time the recovery period took! I love the way I look know, I'm getting lots of compliments and the best part is that people think I've just lost weight! Thank you Dr. Konstantin!"

"Terrible experience and awful facelift result from this doctor. I would never have used him and wish I'd never seen his paid advertorial in the magazine's pages. I had another lift in 2005 ~ at that time I had done my homework very thoroughly for many years. Using this magazine as a lead the second time was NOT wise. In any event, it's done. Dr. K's work on my face was subpar and I certainly had a brilliant first lift by NYC's Alan Matarasso to compare it to (whose work Dr. K criticized quite abrasively so below is a link to a more detailed review, as well as photos of my results with Matarasso compared with the work of Dr. K. If you think this Dr. K's work is good, by all means, he's the doctor for you. But I've learned now of others whose results were very bad and has affected their lives. So just consider thoroughly, is my caveat emptor. If you have any doubt, go elsewhere. There are many brilliant surgeons. He is not one of them. After all, this is your face. And one of the highly regarded circle of elite and talented surgeons he definitely is not. https://www.yelp.com/mail?from_search=0&action_view_message=1&conversation_id=0&messageid=BT6uQnw-vDCwkMEG4QMU_w "

"This is apparently an advertorial page of possibly generated positive testimonials. I do not have a positive testimonial whatsoever and so the moderation panel has not approved it seeing it's not here more than a week after submitting, opting instead to apparently bias in their delivery of features and doctors cloaked as editorial worthy, so you believe it comes from a news source ~ which is exactly what I did when I have purchased this mag on the newsstand and made the mistake of selecting this doctor. In actuality, this feature is advertising and is paid for. I called headquarters and a contact to confirm that. So buyer beware re these 'testimonials.' My experience is very much not a good one with this doctor. I have come to know one woman whose life has been almost traumatized as a result of his work. And I finally have gotten publisher info and am contacting her directly with correspondence about this disingenuous page for Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich. Feel free to contact me for a 'real' story and photos, if you're able to do it thru the email option. I am guessing that is not enabled, however. "
