About Dr. Thomas Buonassisi
Trust Your Face to a Facial Plastic Surgeon
What makes Dr. Buonassisi particularly unique is that he is one of less than 5% of other surgeons who regularly performs advanced facelift techniques such as the Deep Plane Facelift technique, with soaring patient satisfaction rates. A highly effective procedure that can yield the largest degree of lift and restore volume while preserving a long-lasting improvement, the Deep Plane Facelift is also lauded for its relatively quicker and easier recovery for the most natural-looking results.
Not all may be a candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift, however. Dr. Buonassisi also regularly performs other facelift techniques and more minimally invasive surgeries such as the Mini Facelift or Brow Lift, while offering a full range of non surgical facial rejuvenation treatments including Botox, dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing with HALO™ technology, light-based skin rejuvenation with BBL™ technology, and more.
If a facelift isn’t quite right for you, Dr. Buonassisi and 8 West Clinic will educate, recommend, and provide the solution that is most optimal for you and your individual goals. Our patients always start with a complimentary pre-assessment with our patient care team specializing in surgery, who can provide insight on your goals before you dive into a full surgical consultation.
