Whether you visit our Manhattan or Rye office, you’ll receive personalized care and exceptional expertise. Ready to lift your look? Click the Request an Appointment button below to take the first step toward a more youthful and elegant appearance. CHOOSE ROBERT SCHWARCZ MD For those preferring non-surgical options, consider Filler Injections : What are Filler Injections? Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based products, can temporarily restore volume to hollow cheeks and soften deep nasolabial folds. This minimally invasive treatment offers immediate results with little to no downtime, making it a popular choice for mild to moderate concerns. However, fillers require regular maintenance, with results typically lasting 6-12 months. While fillers are effective for subtle improvements, a mid facelift offers more dramatic and long-lasting results for advanced signs of aging. ALTERNATIVES Enhance your results by pairing your mid facelift with these complementary procedures: Facial Fat Transfer : Restore volume to hollow areas, such as the under-eye region or cheeks, for a fully balanced rejuvenation. Endoscopic Brow Lift : Lift and rejuvenate the brow area to harmonize the upper face with your refreshed mid-face. These treatments work beautifully together to create a harmonious and youthful transformation. COMPLEMENTARY The results of a mid facelift are natural and long-lasting. By repositioning the cheek tissues and smoothing the mid-face, the procedure restores youthful contours and a refreshed appearance. While the effects are essentially permanent, the natural aging process will continue. A healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong your rejuvenated look for years to come. RESULTS Recovery from a mid facelift requires attentive care to achieve the best results: First Night: You are required to use our nursing service, Elite Private Recovery , to ensure proper post-operative care and monitoring. First Few Days: Expect mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses. 1-2 Weeks: Most patients feel ready to resume light activities and social interactions within 10-14 days. 2-3 Months: Residual swelling subsides, and the results become more refined. 3-4 Months: You’ll be fully healed and ready for major events, with the final results fully apparent. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery every step of the way. RECOVERY A mid facelift is performed in our Manhattan office’s JCAHO-certified surgical suite under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours. Here’s what to expect during the process: Before Surgery: Dr. Schwarcz will mark the treatment areas and review the surgical plan with you. During Surgery: Incisions are discreetly placed along the hairline or inside the lower eyelid. The cheek tissues are lifted, repositioned, and secured to a higher position. Excess skin may also be removed for a smoother appearance. After Surgery: You’ll rest in our recovery area before being transported home or to your private nursing care. Dr. Schwarcz’s advanced techniques minimize visible scarring while delivering natural-looking results. WHAT TO EXPECT Preparing for a mid facelift is essential to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. Key considerations include: Timing: Schedule the procedure at least 3-4 months before any major events to allow for full healing. Time Off: Plan for 2-3 weeks of downtime for the initial recovery phase. Lifestyle Adjustments: Quit smoking and reduce alcohol intake to promote better healing. Medications: Avoid blood thinners, aspirin, and supplements like vitamin E for at least two weeks prior to surgery. Support: Arrange for a minimum of one night with our nursing service, Elite Private Recovery , to ensure safe and comfortable post-operative care. Dr. Schwarcz will provide you with a tailored pre-operative plan during your consultation. PLANNING A mid facelift may not be suitable for individuals who: Have uncontrolled medical conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension. Are prone to poor wound healing or keloid scarring. Have unrealistic expectations about the results. Prefer a less invasive approach to mid-face rejuvenation. Dr. Schwarcz will provide personalized recommendations based on your specific needs and concerns. NOT CANDIDATES You may be an excellent candidate for a mid facelift in New York City if you: Have sagging or hollowed cheeks that create a tired or aged appearance. Notice deep nasolabial folds or drooping in the mid-face area. Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome. Seek a targeted rejuvenation of the mid-face without addressing the lower face or neck. A consultation with Dr. Schwarcz will determine if this procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals. CANDIDATES A mid facelift is a surgical procedure focused on lifting and rejuvenating the middle third of the face, including the cheeks and the area around the eyes. Over time, the effects of aging and gravity can cause the cheek fat pads to descend, leading to a hollowed or tired appearance. This procedure repositions the cheek tissues to their more youthful position, reduces deep nasolabial folds, and restores harmony to the facial features. Unlike a full facelift, which addresses the lower face and neck, a mid facelift specifically targets the area between the eyes and the upper lip. Incisions are typically hidden along the hairline or inside the lower eyelid, ensuring discreet scarring and natural results. THE PROCEDURE ALTERNATIVES COMPLEMENTARY RESULTS RECOVERY WHAT TO EXPECT PLANNING NOT CANDIDATES CANDIDATES THE PROCEDURE ROBERT SCHWARCZ PROVIDERS MANHATTAN LOCATIONS GALLERY A mid facelift, also called a cheek lift, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the middle portion of the face by lifting and repositioning sagging cheek tissues. This procedure restores youthful volume, smoothens nasolabial folds, and enhances the definition of the mid-face for a refreshed and natural appearance. Performed by Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon in NYC, in our Manhattan office’s JCAHO-certified surgical suite, the mid facelift ensures safety and precision. Patients are required to use our Elite Private Recovery nursing service for at least the first night to ensure proper post-operative care. Consultations and follow-ups are available in both Manhattan, NY, and Rye, NY.

  • ORBITAL DECOMPRESSION | T.E.D. Treatment in NYC | Robert Schwarcz MDIN NYC

    Relieve symptoms of thyroid eye disease with orbital decompression surgery by Dr. Robert Schwarcz. Our Upper East Side boutique practice specializes in restoring comfort, vision, and confidence with precise, compassionate care. BACK TO SERVICES REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT Dr. Robert Schwarcz is a leading expert in orbital decompression surgery in NYC, with extensive experience in facial and reconstructive surgery . His meticulous attention to detail ensures natural-looking, functional improvements for patients suffering from thyroid eye disease or other orbital conditions. With hospital-based surgery and personalized follow-ups in our Manhattan or Rye offices, you’ll receive top-tier care every step of the way. Ready to restore eye comfort and achieve a balanced, natural appearance? Click the Request an Appointment button below to take the first step toward expert care and long-lasting results. CHOOSE ROBERT SCHWARCZ MD For patients seeking non-surgical options, consider: Tepezza – An FDA-approved infusion therapy that helps reduce inflammation and bulging in thyroid eye disease patients. While Tepezza can provide temporary symptom relief , it does not offer the permanent structural correction that orbital decompression surgery provides. ALTERNATIVES To further enhance your orbital decompression results, consider these complementary treatments: Eyelid Surgery (Upper or Lower Blepharoplasty) – Address excess skin or under-eye bags for a fully refreshed look. CO2 Laser – Improve skin texture and reduce fine lines around the eyes for a polished finish. Combining these treatments can refine both functional and cosmetic results for a more rejuvenated appearance. COMPLEMENTARY Orbital decompression surgery provides both functional and cosmetic improvements : Reduced eye bulging (proptosis) , creating a more natural, balanced look Relief from pressure, dryness, and discomfort caused by orbital crowding Improved vision in cases where pressure was affecting the optic nerve Long-lasting results with a carefully customized surgical approach While the effects of thyroid eye disease may still require additional treatments (such as eyelid surgery or CO2 laser for skin tightening) , orbital decompression offers dramatic relief and aesthetic enhancement . RESULTS Recovery from orbital decompression surgery requires patience, but following post-operative instructions will ensure the best outcome: First 1-2 Days: Expect mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort , which can be managed with cold compresses and prescribed pain medication. First Week: Swelling and bruising peak around day 3-4 and then begin to subside. Avoid strenuous activities. 1-2 Weeks: Most patients can return to non-strenuous work or social activities at this stage. 1-3 Months: Vision stabilizes, swelling continues to decrease, and the final eye position becomes more apparent. Full Healing: By 6 months , results are fully visible, with long-term functional and aesthetic improvements. Dr. Schwarcz will monitor your healing progress through follow-up visits in either the Manhattan or Rye office . RECOVERY Orbital decompression surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting . The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours , depending on the complexity of the case. Here’s what happens during the process: Before Surgery: The surgical plan is reviewed, and imaging studies guide the precise areas of decompression. During Surgery: Small incisions are made (inside the eyelid or in a concealed area) to access the orbital bones. Excess bone and/or fat is carefully removed to create additional space for the eyes. The procedure is meticulously performed to relieve pressure while preserving eye function and symmetry . After Surgery: You will be monitored in the hospital’s recovery area before being discharged with post-operative care instructions. Dr. Schwarcz’s surgical expertise ensures minimal visible scarring and balanced, natural-looking results . WHAT TO EXPECT Proper preparation ensures a smooth surgical experience and optimal recovery. Key steps include: Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Schwarcz will assess your condition, discuss goals, and review medical imaging (such as CT scans) to plan the best surgical approach. Thyroid Stability: If thyroid disease is the cause, your levels should be stable before undergoing surgery. Medications: Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or vitamin E at least two weeks before surgery to minimize bruising and swelling. Pre-Surgical Clearance: You may need a medical clearance from your primary care physician before undergoing surgery in a hospital setting. Support System: Arrange for a friend or family member to assist you after surgery, as your vision may be temporarily affected. Dr. Schwarcz will provide personalized pre-operative instructions to help you prepare for your procedure. PLANNING Orbital decompression may not be suitable for individuals who: Have mild thyroid eye disease that may improve with medication or Tepezza . Have unstable thyroid function , as TED-related symptoms can fluctuate. Are unable to undergo general anesthesia due to medical conditions. Have unrealistic expectations about the cosmetic results of surgery. For mild cases, Tepezza infusions may be a non-surgical alternative that reduces inflammation and bulging over time. NOT CANDIDATES You may be an excellent candidate for orbital decompression surgery if you: Have thyroid eye disease with moderate to severe eye bulging (proptosis). Experience eye pressure, dryness, tearing, or discomfort due to orbital crowding. Have vision impairment caused by pressure on the optic nerve. Are looking for a permanent surgical solution to improve both function and appearance. Are in good overall health and able to undergo surgery under general anesthesia. A consultation with Dr. Schwarcz will determine if orbital decompression is the right treatment for your condition. CANDIDATES Orbital decompression is a surgical procedure that reduces pressure in the eye socket by carefully removing excess fat and/or bone from the orbit. This creates more space for the eye, helping to improve both function and appearance. This procedure is most commonly used for: Thyroid eye disease (Graves' orbitopathy) – A condition where the immune system attacks the tissues behind the eyes, causing inflammation, bulging (proptosis), and discomfort. Orbital congestion and pressure – Patients experiencing discomfort, vision problems, or excessive tearing due to crowding in the eye socket. Cosmetic concerns – Individuals with prominent or bulging eyes seeking a more balanced, natural eye position. The surgery is customized based on the severity of the condition, with Dr. Schwarcz determining the most effective approach for each patient. THE PROCEDURE ALTERNATIVES COMPLEMENTARY RESULTS RECOVERY WHAT TO EXPECT PLANNING NOT CANDIDATES CANDIDATES THE PROCEDURE ROBERT SCHWARCZ PROVIDERS MANHATTAN LOCATIONS GALLERY Orbital decompression is a specialized surgical procedure designed to relieve pressure in the eye socket and reduce bulging of the eyes, commonly caused by thyroid eye disease (TED). By removing small portions of bone or fat from the orbit, this procedure creates additional space, allowing the eyes to return to a more natural position and alleviating symptoms like eye pain, dryness, and vision problems. Unlike many other procedures, orbital decompression is performed in a hospital setting, but consultations and follow-ups can take place in either our Manhattan or Rye offices. For non-surgical alternatives, Tepezza, an FDA-approved infusion therapy, may help reduce inflammation and eye bulging in some cases. If you’re considering orbital decompression in NYC, Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon in NYC, can offer expertise in this functional and aesthetic eye surgery.

After Surgery: You’ll rest in our recovery area before heading home with detailed aftercare instructions. Dr. Schwarcz’s precise techniques ensure a natural appearance and optimal eyelid function. WHAT TO EXPECT Proper preparation is essential for a successful ectropion repair and smooth recovery.

Have uncontrolled medical conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension. Have unrealistic expectations about the results.

Ectropion repair is a functional and aesthetic procedure that improves both eye health and appearance. CANDIDATES Ectropion is a condition in which the lower eyelid turns outward, exposing the inner surface of the eyelid. This improper positioning prevents the eyelid from protecting the eye adequately, leading to symptoms such as: Excessive tearing (epiphora) Chronic eye irritation or redness Dryness and sensitivity to light Increased risk of eye infections Ectropion is often caused by age-related weakening of the eyelid muscles, but it can also result from trauma, scarring, facial nerve paralysis, or congenital factors. If left untreated, ectropion can lead to serious complications, including damage to the cornea. Ectropion repair surgery restores the natural position of the eyelid, protecting the eye and enhancing its appearance.

For procedures involving sedation anesthesia, we require patients to arrange for someone to pick them up after surgery and stay with them overnight. If you prefer professional nursing assistance, we partner with Elite Private Recovery , a trusted nursing service. For facelift or neck lift procedures, an overnight nurse is mandatory. ELITE PRIVATE RECOVERY SURGICAL CLEARANCE To prioritize your safety, we require the following: For Sedation Anesthesia Procedures: Medical clearance, lab work, and an EKG (for patients over 50 years old). For Local Anesthesia Procedures: Lab work only. Our office will provide the necessary forms for your primary care provider. Clearance must be completed within 30 days of surgery, and results must be submitted at least two weeks before your procedure. To ensure timely submission, schedule your clearance appointments as soon as possible. PREOPERATIVE FORMS Within 30 days of your surgery, we will send another set of forms via DocuSign. These include: Consents Postoperative instructions A list of medications to be prescribed postoperatively A request for a complete list of your current medications, vitamins, and supplements Timely completion of these forms is essential, as certain medications, vitamins, and supplements must be stopped two weeks before surgery. PREPARING FOR SURGERY MEDICATION + LIFESTYLE Avoid blood-thinning medications, vitamins, and supplements two weeks before and after surgery. Discontinue tobacco and nicotine products 30 days before and after surgery, as these hinder healing. Avoid alcohol a few days before surgery to reduce blood thinning. DIET + HYDRATION Stay hydrated in the weeks leading up to surgery. Focus on a healthy diet, avoiding simple sugars and sodium-heavy foods. THE WEEK OF SURGERY One week before your surgery, we electronically send your prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy. We will also call (typically the evening before surgery) to review instructions and answer any last-minute questions. For sedation anesthesia patients, do not eat, drink, or ingest anything after midnight the night before surgery. THE DAY OF SURGERY All procedures are performed in our Manhattan office unless another location is prearranged (this is rare). On the day of surgery: Arrival: You will receive detailed instructions, including arrival time. Clothing: Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing such as sweatpants, yoga pants, a tank top, a button-down shirt, sports bra, etc. Leave jewelry at home. Contacts: If you wear contact lenses, do not wear them on the day of surgery or for up to two weeks post-op. Pre-Surgery Preparation: Upon arrival, you will have time to speak with Dr. Schwarcz, Nurse Leanne Jones, and the anesthesiologist (if applicable). The anesthesia fee is paid directly to the anesthesiologist on the morning of surgery. We will collect a contact number for your escort to keep them informed throughout the day. THE NIGHT OF SURGERY You may feel sleepy and need rest. Follow postoperative instructions, especially regarding icing, to reduce swelling. Before surgery, we provide a list of supplies to prepare in advance. Swelling and bruising peak during the first two days but will gradually improve. Remember, asymmetry during early healing is normal and resolves over time. RECOVERY + RESULT First Follow-Up: Scheduled 5-10 days after surgery, where you’ll receive updated care instructions. Physical Activity: Avoid heavy physical activity for at least three weeks. Ongoing Follow-Ups: Dr. Schwarcz will monitor your recovery over several months. HEALING TIMELINE Results begin to appear at 1-3 months. Final results are typically visible around six months post-op.
