Aging causes our skin to sag over time, leading to changes in the jowls and jawline. A lower facelift is one of the most significant ways to reduce a drooping appearance. The team at DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa is nationally recognized for helping individuals achieve natural and wonderful results.

There are several areas that can be improved with a lower facelift in Boston, MA. Double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Jaimie DeRosa can perform an assessment and let you know how we can reduce sagging jowls and more. Contact our office to explore your options for lower rhytidectomy.

Lower facelift candidates

Sagging skin can change your overall facial features and shape. If this is the case, a lower rhytidectomy can offer exciting and satisfying results. Ideal candidates for this procedure range from their 40s – 60s, but surgery can be safely performed on anyone as long as they are in good health. Dr. DeRosa will also make sure your skin has a healthy amount of elasticity beforehand.

During your initial appointment, we can review your aesthetic goals. Some patients simply want to address facial wrinkles, while others want to reduce sagging jowls and loose neck skin. Our clinic can give you realistic expectations about your outcome by showing you before-and-after photos from previous patients. We then create a custom treatment plan to address your areas of concern and give you a renewed look.

About the lower facelift procedure

DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa mainly focuses our attention on the bottom third of the face and jowls, removing any excess skin as needed. We then tighten the underlying tissues and carefully re-drape the skin to make your features smoother. A facelift in Boston takes a few hours to complete; then a bandage is placed to minimize swelling and bruising. Our advanced techniques can help address the following areas:

  1. Jowls

  2. Loose neck skin

  3. Loose jawline skin

  4. Deep facial wrinkles

  5. Corners of the mouth

How long does a lower facelift last?

Just like any other plastic surgery, it takes time to recover and see results. Lower facelift patients should rest and follow all post-surgical instructions to make the most of recovery. The staff at DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa can give you an overview of your timeline and address any questions or concerns about side effects. While it is normal to experience some discomfort, this can be managed with cool compresses and pain medications.

The results of a lower facelift should be long-lasting, as long as you continue to take care of your skin and stay hydrated. When aging and environmental factors, such as sun exposure, wear away your results, feel free to contact our office for touch-up treatments. We can give you personalized instructions about how to best prolong your outcomes. This should help combat future facial wrinkles and loose neck skin.

From the moment you walk in - one feels at ease - Coleen is the best. My previous IPL treatments have rejuvenated my skin and my self esteem. I'm very happy with the results so far with my most recent dermo abrasion consult and the process was so painless thanks to the amazing, Maggie. I highly recommend DeRosa to everyone! Rest assured you are in good hands at DeRosa Med Spa!

The entire staff was amazing and made the experience so easy and stress free. I had researched the procedure for the last three years visiting many plastic surgeons in and out of state but never felt comfortable enough to move forward. This is a big decision and I had to feel confident in my surgeon. The moment I met Dr DeRosa I knew she was the right surgeon for my procedure. Dr DeRosa is kind, patient, professional, board certified, knowledgeable, compassionate, you can tell she loves what she does. I’m so happy with my results! I received a partial facelift and a chin implant. With plans of one more procedure in the coming months. Thank you DeRosa Center!
