Patients in and around Lowell, Massachusetts, can benefit from facelift surgery when they have advanced signs of aging on the lower two-thirds of their face.
Rhytidectomy is great for treating:
Designed to create a younger appearance, a facelift is meant to reduce sagging in the folds of skin on your lower cheeks and jawline. During this surgical procedure, Dr. Lee will lift a flap of skin on each side of your face and pull them back. The tissues below your skin are also repositioned and sculpted to give more definition to your face. In addition, Dr. Lee will remove excess skin.
Dr. Lee will only suggest a facelift if he feels it will provide the best result. If you are not quite ready for a full facelift, he may recommend non-surgical treatments or a mini facelift.
There is no age requirement for a facelift. The ideal candidate is in their 40s to 60s. However, Dr. Lee can even perform surgery on patients who are well into their 70s and beyond, as long as they are healthy. While it’s never too late for a facelift, the sooner you address facial aging, the better the results.
In some cases, Dr. Lee may advise combined treatments. For example, some patients benefit from a neck lift and facelift or a facelift and eyelid surgery. Injectables are another option. Fillers can address deep wrinkles such as nasolabial folds to complement your facelift results.
His recommendations are personalized to your individual goals and aging concerns. Dr. Lee prides himself on active listening. He pays attention to what his patients hope to accomplish. Using this information, he will design a custom treatment plan that matches your exact needs, with the goal of delivering the best facelift Lowell has to offer.
Will a facelift give me visible scars?
All surgery leaves a scar. The best Lowell facelift surgeons know how to hide them. Facelift incisions are usually located near the hairline and ears. Dr. Lee makes every effort to conceal the scars where no one will notice them.
In the hands of a skilled surgeon, the results of a facelift can be dramatic and long-lasting.
Many of Dr. Lee’s patients can go a decade or more before considering a touch-up. A mini facelift does not last as long as a full facelift. You can prolong your results by wearing sunblock, staying hydrated, eating well, taking care of your skin, and avoiding nicotine.

One popular alternative to surgery is facelift tape. The tape tugs on the facial skin to temporarily smooth, tighten, and lift. While many patients love the way their face looks initially, the adhesive can be irritating, and the results are short-lived. Patients seeking long-term results are better off with a facelift.
