Plastic surgeons are not there to make your lippers fuller and give you a face-lift. They also save lives and ease the mental agony of their patients.
One such remarkable transformation was done by the New York based doctor Dr. Ramtin Kassir. Dr. Kassir performed a complex cosmetic procedure on a 70-year-old, which has captured the public’s attention. He posted the results of the surgery on his social media platform.
The New York City-based specialist performed a deep plane face-and-neck-lift. The surgery needed a comprehensive approach that goes beneath the skin to adjust facial muscles and tissue. It offers a longer-lasting and more natural result than traditional methods.
This wasn’t a one-step fix. The man had undergone significant weight loss. It had left him with loose, sagging skin that aged him well beyond his years. Such instances can cause a lot of mental stress for someone who just went through a grueling journey of weight loss. He was seeking a refreshed appearance and it’s then that he opted for a total overhaul. This procedure included multiple surgical enhancements that were tailored to restore his facial structure and reduce the signs of aging.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure aimed at repairing droopy eyelids by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat.

The whole surgical journey had several integrated procedures. There was deep plane face-and-neck-lift, revision upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and an endoscopic forehead. He also underwent brow lift, septo-rhinoplasty (a nose job that also improved breathing), and CO₂ laser resurfacing. Another set of surgery included chin augmentation, and fat transfer to the face.
These procedures involved the lifting and repositioning of skin and deeper tissues, repairing damaged areas, and adjusting features to create symmetry and rejuvenation. All these surgeries are considered invasive. However, the combination was designed to minimize common complications like tightness or unnatural skin tension. Such planning resulted in a subtle, natural outcome.
This is very real and costs between 200-300k, depending on how much damage has been done from previous surgeries and treatments or age. The plastic surgeon who does this surgery is based in New York and is an expert in doing ‘everything at once’.

Such an extensive transformation doesn’t come cheap. In New York City, Dr. Kassir estimates that this level of facial reconstruction and face-lift can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $80,000. It depends on the complexity and number of procedures.
The pricing varies globally too. In the United Kingdom, patients looking for similar results may spend from a few thousand pounds for mini-lifts to as much as £15,000 for full face-and-neck procedures.
The NHS would suggest average prices whereas high-end private clinics like Cadogan and Kensington Medical quote £13,000 to £15,000 or more. This includes the cost of technology, surgeon expertise, and post-op care.
‘To expect the tax payer to pay for that is absolutely ludicrous! The average liposuction is about £7,000 and the average tummy tuck is £4,000.’

The man’s “after” photos quickly went viral and have been drawing praise from both professionals and everyday viewers. People have remarked that he looked “years younger.” One user also noted that the results were “the best male face-lift” they had seen. Importantly, the response celebrated the natural look—a sharp contrast to the “plastic” or “overdone” outcomes that can accompany less precise surgery.
This case represents more than a physical transformation and a face-lift. It symbolizes the evolution of aesthetic surgery into a refined art form that balances enhancement with authenticity.
Procedures have become safer and more widely accepted. Individuals are now empowered to pursue their desired appearances without fear of judgment or drastic change.
