With Flexible Payment Options to Fit Your Needs
Facial rejuvenation is an investment in yourself. At The Clinic of Facial Plastic Surgery, we want every patient to feel comfortable moving forward with treatment, whether they are considering a comprehensive surgery or a small non-surgical enhancement. Our team takes the time to help you understand costs, explain your options in detail, and answer any questions you may have about financing. We believe the decision to pursue facial plastic surgery should be made with confidence and peace of mind, supported by a clear understanding of how treatment can fit comfortably into your life.
Below are three of the most common ways our patients manage the cost of treatment:
CareCredit
We proudly accept CareCredit®, a healthcare credit card that allows you to pay for your cosmetic treatment in manageable monthly installments. Many plans charge little or no interest, making it easier to fit facial procedures into your budget without delay.
Insurance Considerations
Purely cosmetic procedures aren’t covered by insurance. Functional or reconstructive needs, like rhinoplasty for breathing issues, may qualify for partial coverage. Our team can contact your provider to help you understand your benefits.
Direct Payment
Patients have the option to pay out of pocket using credit card, check, or cash. For every treatment, we provide a detailed estimate in advance, giving you clarity and peace of mind about costs so you know exactly what to expect before moving forward.
A deep plane facelift is one of the most advanced techniques available for facial rejuvenation, and Dr. Sherris is the only surgeon in Buffalo to offer it. Unlike traditional facelifts, this procedure refines deeper facial structures rather than just tightening skin. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance with natural-looking contours and long-lasting improvement. By restoring volume to the mid-face and improving definition along the jawline and neck, the deep plane facelift helps patients look refreshed without the “pulled” look. For many, it is the most comprehensive option to reverse visible signs of aging.
This patient underwent a deep plane facelift with neck lift, endoscopic brow lift, and lower eyelid surgery. The comprehensive approach softened signs of aging, restored youthful balance, and created a refreshed yet natural-looking appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dr. Sherris' Services in Buffalo
Which non-surgical facial treatments are best for me?
The best treatment depends on your unique goals and anatomy. Options like BOTOX Cosmetic, dermal fillers, and skin resurfacing can refresh your appearance without surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Sherris will recommend the most effective approach to achieve natural-looking results.
Where does Dr. Sherris perform surgery?
Most procedures are performed in an accredited hospital setting to ensure the highest standards of safety and care. Less extensive procedures, such as eyelid surgery, may be completed in our Buffalo office using local anesthesia. Dr. Sherris will determine the best venue for your surgery based on the type of procedure.
How long will my results last?
The longevity of your results depends on the procedure performed, your age, and lifestyle factors. Surgical results such as those from a facelift or rhinoplasty can last many years, while non-surgical treatments may require periodic touch-ups. Dr. Sherris designs each plan to provide long-lasting, natural improvements.
What is the difference between a full facelift and a mini facelift?
A full facelift can address the entire face from brow to chin, while a mini facelift focuses primarily on the lower third of the face. Dr. Sherris will recommend the right approach based on your needs.
Does insurance ever cover plastic surgery procedures?
Cosmetic treatments are not covered, but certain reconstructive or corrective procedures may qualify. Our team can help review your plan and contact your insurance provider on your behalf.
