"Dr. Basner was recommended to me by several of my friends. He was very informative during my consultation and I felt very comfortable with both him and his staff. I had my surgery only two weeks ago and already look and feel great. I know it is going to get even better."

"I was the first person in “my group” to get a facelift. After my surgery my friends were so impressed with the results, two of them have scheduled consultations with Dr. Basner. I can’t say enough about Dr. Basner or his staff, they are all so caring and knowledgeable. Anyone considering a facelift should see Dr. Basner."

Erasing the Signs of Time for a More Youthful Appearance
You've gained maturity, experience, and wisdom, but your face doesn't have to show it. Crow's feet, laugh lines, furrows, jowls, neck wrinkles, and lip lines can mask the natural beauty that has suffered the telltale signs of life. Baltimore, Maryland, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Adam Basner and his on-site aesthetician have mastered innovative and advanced methods designed to take your face back in time for a refreshing, more youthful look. With them, you can look as good as you feel.
Below is some general information regarding this procedure. We will provide you with extensive information during your complimentary consultation in our Baltimore office. Any further questions or concerns may also be addressed at that time.
Face Lift
With a face lift, we can surgically remove excess skin and fat, tighten your muscles, and redrape the skin to lie more smoothly over your face and neck. Typically, incisions are hidden within the hairline, behind the ear, and/or under the chin. Incision sites may vary according to the patient's hairstyle.
Following your surgery, you'll need to keep your head elevated for a day or two. Bandages will be applied and a small tube may be present to help drain excess fluid. Most bandages, sutures, and tubes will be removed within the first week. Your skin will be sensitive, and expect some bruising and swelling. However, this should subside within the first two weeks. Any strenuous activity should be avoided for at least two weeks. You can most likely return to work in ten to 14 days.
Face lifts can be performed at almost any age, although they are most effective in those with good skin elasticity. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, such as infection or bleeding. Hematomas, small areas of blood collecting under the surface of the skin, and nerve injury are also possible. However, complications are rare.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
During laser skin resurfacing, a gentle laser light smoothes the lines around the mouth and eyes, softening deeper frown lines, and removing skin that has suffered the damaging effects of sun and wind. Acne scars and scars from surgery can also be reduced. New, healthy skin is revealed, leaving you with a smooth, fresh appearance.
After the procedure, for a short time you'll need to care for your face with cool compresses and a special cleansing regimen. But you will experience very little to no discomfort. Some redness may last for up to three months, but it can easily be concealed with makeup. We'll also provide you with tips and advice on how to do this.
Complete recovery takes about two to four weeks. Laser skin rejuvenation can also be performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as a face lift or brow lift.
"I had a lot of wrinkles from being out in the sun too much. I tried creams and make up, but they didn’t work. So, I went to see Drs. Klatsky and Basner for laser skin resurfacing. The laser was painless and the results were unbelievable. My skin is so smooth and I look so much younger!" - T.D.

BOTOX ® Cosmetic
A safe, effective way to temporarily remove wrinkles, BOTOX ® Cosmetic involves the use of Botulinum toxin to eliminate or reduce frown lines, crow's feet, laugh lines, and other wrinkles, provided they are not caused by sun damage, scarring, or trauma.
When your facial muscles contract, wrinkles are created. BOTOX ® Cosmetic works by reducing the relaxing muscles, which results in "plumped" skin and a smoother, nonwrinkled appearance.
There is minimal discomfort with the BOTOX ® Cosmetic procedure. Anesthetics are not necessary, and you can return to your daily activities almost immediately. Treatment takes approximately five days to reach its full effect, and results last for up to six months.
