Put Your Best Face Forward

The face is involved in every interaction we have with others, from first impressions to last. It’s also the part of the body that is always exposed to the elements, day in and day out—and typically the first area to show signs of wear and tear. The effects of aging, sun damage, pollution, and general stress show on an individual’s face, neckline, and self-esteem. Creases, wrinkles, sagging, and folds and fat deposits under the jaw line (jowls) can begin to affect one’s appearance and identity dramatically.

A Boston facelift—also known as a rhytidectomy—can turn back the clock and considerably reduce these undesirable changes by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin around the neck and face. Facelifts can be done alone or in conjunction with another procedure such as a rhinoplasty, brow lift, eyelid surgery, or chin augmentation. Our Boston plastic surgeons Dr. Samaha and Dr. Phelan are experienced in preserving a strong, masculine facial structure while providing natural-looking results.

Before & After »

What can a facelift address?

A facelift Boston can be a great option for men looking to lessen the appearance of aging and recapture a sharper and more youthful look. Undergoing a facelift procedure will not change the shape of the eyes, nose, or forehead, but works to tighten and remove excess skin in the following areas:

  • Facial creases
  • Wrinkles
  • Sagging skin
  • Fat deposits under the jawline
  • Heavy jowls

If the problem areas are limited to the neck, your surgeon may recommend an isolated neck lift.

What to expect from facelift surgery

Our surgeons successfully provide our patients with a less “surgical” and more natural look by using a variety of advanced methods—including short scar techniques. Personalizing each facelift procedure to suit every individual patient’s unique anatomy and goals, our surgeons can reduce the signs of aging while preserving a natural appearance.

We understand the differences in male facial structure and perform the procedure specifically to preserve a masculine appearance. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on the areas being addressed.

How much does a men’s facelift cost in Boston?

The cost of a deep plane facelift in the Boston area can range from $8,000 to $40,000, with the average price around $25,000. Of course, the financial investment of facial surgery is a major factor for many patients. At Boston Plastic Surgery, we understand the complexity and investment of surgery. As such, we offer financing options to ease our patients’ minds.

During your personal surgical consultation, you will be provided with a detailed cost quote for your facelift procedure. You can also call our office at 617.767.0071 if you would like an estimate of your cost prior to your consult.
