Facelift Surgery at Accurate Aesthetics

As we age, the effects of gravity, sun exposure, and daily stress become visible on our faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth, the jawline sags, and folds appear around the neck. While a facelift can't stop the aging process, it can effectively "turn back the clock" by addressing the most noticeable signs of aging.

What a Facelift Can Achieve

• Remove excess facial fat
• Tighten underlying muscles
• Redrape facial and neck skin
• Improve deep cheek folds and jowls
• Reduce loose, sagging neck skin

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

The best candidates for a facelift are individuals whose faces and necks have begun to sag, but still retain some skin elasticity and have strong, well-defined bone structure. While most patients are in their forties to sixties, successful facelifts can be performed on people in their seventies or eighties as well.

Facelift Surgery Considerations

Dr. Katherine Hein will provide specific pre-operative instructions, including guidelines on eating, drinking, smoking cessation, and medication management. Following these instructions carefully helps ensure a smoother surgery and recovery process.

Your Facelift Procedure

Facelift surgeries are typically performed on an outpatient basis at a fully accredited facility. Dr. Hein operates at Newton Wellesley Hospital, MetroWest Medical Center, and Milford Regional Hospital, as well as her fully accredited in-office operating room.

Recovery and Results

While initial results may not be immediately apparent due to swelling and bruising, patients can expect a refreshed, more youthful appearance once healed. Scars are usually well-hidden within natural facial creases or hairlines and fade over time.
