A Procedure Tailored to Your Unique Needs

For many patients, the traditional facelift doesn’t truly meet their exact needs. Enter the innovative technique known as the vertical facelift. This procedure has been meticulously designed to specifically target and address the common signs of aging that manifest in the lower face and neck. Our vertical facelift in Boston offers a highly effective solution for individuals seeking to achieve natural-looking results with minimal scarring, setting it apart from traditional facelift procedures. 

Vertical Facelift Overview

A Deeper Level of Healing 

What truly distinguishes the vertical facelift is its focus on lifting and tightening the deeper tissues, working to restore a more youthful and revitalized appearance. The appeal of this procedure lies not only in its ability to produce long-lasting, natural-looking results but also in its potential for minimizing downtime, making it an increasingly popular choice for those looking to rejuvenate their facial contours without enduring a prolonged recovery period.

Vertical Facelift Process and Procedure

The vertical facelift procedure involves meticulously lifting and repositioning the deeper tissues of the face and neck to address signs of aging and restore a more youthful appearance. Our team of double-board-certified plastic surgeons at The Spiegel Center utilizes advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking results, tailoring the procedure to each patient's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. By focusing on the underlying structures, including muscles and connective tissues, the vertical facelift aims to provide comprehensive rejuvenation with minimal scarring, ultimately delivering long-lasting and satisfying outcomes for our patients.

Vertical Facelift Recovery

Following your vertical facelift at The Spiegel Center in Boston, you can expect to return home the same day as your procedure. Our team can arrange for a nurse to assist you during your initial recovery, and cold compresses will help minimize swelling and bruising. While discomfort is typically minimal, we provide pain medications as needed. A soft compressive dressing is recommended for the first week to reduce swelling, and sutures are usually removed after one week. Most patients feel ready to resume their routines after this time, with incision scars healing into thin, barely noticeable lines.

I just had a facial rejuvenation with Dr Jacob Tower at the Spiegel center. Dr. Tower did a great job, I look many years younger, but still very natural which is exactly what I was looking for. Starting with the consultation, preop, surgery, and postop, he patiently listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Uzma Hossein, my patient coordinator, was also amazing. She regularly checked in with me and followed up on my requests and questions. She made me feel welcome and cared for in the office. I highly recommend Dr Tower and the Spiegel Center to anyone who is considering a facelift or facial rejuvenation.
