Unlock Your Inner Vitality 

A lower facelift is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to address the visible signs of aging in the lower region of the face, including the jawline and neck. This approach is chosen by individuals seeking targeted rejuvenation in the lower face, such as improving jowls and sagging skin, without necessarily addressing the entire face. Compared to a traditional facelift, a lower facelift in Boston offers a more focused solution, allowing for precise enhancement of specific areas that may be showing the effects of aging.

Lower Facelift Overview

Is a Lower Facelift Right For Me?

Typically, our patients who get the most out of this procedure include: 

  • Individuals concerned with the appearance of jowls and sagging skin in the lower face
  • Those seeking to enhance the definition and contouring of the jawline for a more youthful look
  • Individuals experiencing neck bands and laxity in the neck area
  • Those desiring a focused rejuvenation approach tailored to the lower face
  • Individuals looking for long-lasting results specific to the lower facial region

What are the Benefits of a Lower Facelift?

As mentioned, this particular procedure comes with its own host of impressive benefits, including: 

  • Targeted improvement of jowls and sagging skin in the lower face.
  • Enhanced definition and contouring of the jawline for a more youthful appearance.
  • Addressing neck bands and laxity in the neck area for comprehensive rejuvenation.
  • Focused rejuvenation without the need for a full facelift procedure.
  • Long-lasting results tailored to the specific concerns of the lower face.

Lower Facelift Process and Procedure

During a lower facelift procedure at The Spiegel Center in Boston, our double board-certified plastic surgeons employ advanced techniques to address the visible signs of aging in the lower face and neck. The procedure involves meticulously lifting and repositioning the deeper tissues to achieve a revitalized and harmonious facial profile. Through a personalized treatment plan, which we’ll develop during your consultation, we will ensure natural-looking and enduring results tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Lower Facelift Recovery

Following a lower facelift at The Spiegel Center, you can expect to return home on the same day as your procedure. Our compassionate team can arrange for a friendly and supportive nurse to assist you during the initial stages of recovery, ensuring your comfort and well-being. Cold compresses are utilized to minimize swelling and bruising, while pain medications are made available to manage any discomfort. A soft compressive dressing for the first week reduces swelling and promotes a speedier recovery. Sutures are typically removed after one week, and most patients feel ready to resume their everyday routines at this point. However, we advise patients to avoid vigorous activity and to wear the soft wrap at night for an additional week. Over time, the incision scars heal into thin lines that are barely noticeable, often blending into natural skin creases or the hairline.

I want to express to all of you how thankful I am that I chose Dr . Spiegel as my plastic surgeon. He is very professional yet down to earth, which always makes me feel very comfortable with him. I have had a facelift, neck lift various other procedures to give me a more vibrant smoother look. Dr. Spiegel is not just a magnificent surgeon but an artist as well. His knowledge and skills will give you a very natural look. I especially want everyone to know that my surgical coordinator “Carol Werner” took great care of making sure I had the right pain medication after surgery. I am on chronic pain medication so he worked with my pain Management doctor to make sure I would be comfortable healing. Carole always does a fantastic job describing what would happen before, during, and after any procedure. I will never go for any procedures outside of Dr. Spiegel’s center. He is honest, friendly, and caring on a personal level.
