Even though the general goal of facelift surgery is to help women and men look as young as they feel, the specific benefits of a facelift depend on the patient. Facelift surgery isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure, and Dr. Davidson customizes each surgical plan.  

Your benefits from a facelift may include: 

When performed by a plastic surgeon with Dr. Davidson’s experience and skill, a facelift results in you looking like yourself but about 10 years younger.  

Facelift Patient Reviews  

NatPeyJohn3, 5-Star RealSelf review 

“Dr. Davidson performed my face and neck lift 4 months ago and I have to admit I feel so blessed to have found such an outstanding surgeon. I cannot express how happy I am with my results; it was everything I was hoping for. Dr. Davidson made me feel so comfortable the moment I met him. He has such a awesome personality and I valued his kindness and professionalism. He always took his time explaining the procedure to me and answered all my questions.” 

Most amazing results after 2 weeks! Dr. Davidson performed a neck and facelift, making me appear 20 years younger very naturally. Almost no bruising after surgery and minimal swelling for about a week. My face now matches how I feel inside. I have thought about plastic surgery for a while and met with various plastic surgeons. So glad Dr. Davidson, supported by his amazing staff, was recommended to me. Could not be happier with results and experience!” 

Monika, 5-Star Google review 

“I appear youthful & rested after facelift/necklift for laxity & jowling I had facelift/necklift procedures performed by Dr. Davidson. The results were nothing short of extraordinary. I didnt think what Dr. Davidson could do was even possible for me. I had a lot of laxity in my neck and jowling. Thanks to his gifted surgical abilities he rejuvenated my face/neck and I appear more youthful and rested. I can now go about my busy life and not worry about appearing tired, sad or cranky. Thank you Dr. Davidson and staff!”

A facelift addresses concerns in the lower two-thirds of the face. People considering a facelift often choose to combine it with other facial rejuvenation procedures to address the entire face.  Here are some procedures that you might consider including with your facelift:

  • Neck lift 
  • Eyelid surgery 
  • Brow lift 
  • Laser skin resurfacing

Facelift FAQs 

How much does a facelift cost in Boston 

Every facelift patient has unique concerns that require a customized approach, so we can’t accurately estimate a price without a consultation. After discussing your concerns with Dr. Davidson in a personal consultation, we provide you with a specific price quote.

How long is facelift recovery?   

What is the difference between a facelift and neck lift? 

You can expect it to take about 2 weeks before the swelling and bruising have resolved enough to feel comfortable going out socially. Residual swelling, however, will remain for several weeks after that. If you’re planning to attend a significant social event, such as a wedding, plan to schedule your surgery about 3 months in advance.

A neck lift addresses skin on the lower jawline and neck and is popular for tightening loose skin or a “turkey neck.” A facelift focuses more on the jawline and lower to mid-face. Many people combine these procedures for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

What is the best age for a facelift? 

There is no “right” age for a facelift. Most women and men begin seeing signs of facial aging in their 40s, 50s, and 60s and decide to get a facelift when they feel like their appearance doesn’t reflect the way they feel. Whatever age you are, it’s most important to be a healthy nonsmoker with realistic expectations when you undergo a facelift.
