Patients wanting to “turn back the hands of time” have often sought the help of Philadelphia face lift surgeon, Jonathan Pontell, M.D., F.A.C.S., at his practice in Media, Pennsylvania, The Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery Center.

A highly qualified Pennsylvania facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Pontell holds board certification from the American Board of Otolaryngology (ABOto) and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS), as well as membership with The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS).

Facial Rejuvenation

By performing “rhytidectomy,” the medical term for face lift surgery, Dr. Pontell can remove tissue in the neck and jowl region, as well as tighten and re-drape sagging skin. Next, underlying facial muscles are tightened to produce a revitalized look. However, should Dr. Pontell determine that you are eligible, mini facelift surgery may be an option.

In order to achieve a full facial makeover, Dr. Pontell may suggest a combination of procedures in addition to this surgery. Some of the recommended surgeries include:

• Eyelid surgery (“blepharoplasty”) – If you have excess fatty tissue on the upper/lower eyelids, our Media / Philadelphia eyelid surgery expert can remove this through tiny incisions hidden in the natural creases of the eye.


• Nose surgery (“rhinoplasty”) – Patients may wish to contour their nasal structure by removing unsightly bumps, narrowing the bridge, or altering the angle of the tip. Philadelphia rhinoplasty patients can turn to Dr. Pontell for treating nasal function problems as well, such as breathing problems.

You may wish to view before and after plastic surgery photos to see excellent results. Please feel free to read our patient testimonials to get a better understanding of the care that Dr. Pontell provides.
