Facial Plastic Surgery

The deep plane facelift targets deeper layers of facial tissue than a traditional facelift, allowing for more natural, longer-lasting repositioning of the midface and jawline. This approach is best suited to patients with moderate to advanced facial aging who want thorough correction without an overdone look.

A neck lift addresses loose skin, excess fat, and muscle banding along the neck that a facelift alone may not fully resolve. It’s frequently performed alongside a facelift to create a more balanced, harmonious result from the jawline down through the neck.

Brow lifts reposition the eyebrows and soften forehead lines, opening up the eye area and reducing a tired or heavy appearance. Dr. Lonergan favors an endoscopic approach for most candidates, offering effective correction through smaller, less invasive incisions.

Sculpt more balanced facial proportions with a customized forehead reduction in Boston, as performed by Dr. Ashley Lonergan. She leverages her dual training in facial plastic surgery and hair loss treatment to carefully shorten the forehead without overpowering your natural beauty. 

Upper blepharoplasty, or an upper eyelid lift, removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, addressing hooding that can make the eyes look tired or aged. Many patients pursue this procedure to achieve a more open, alert appearance without altering the eye's natural shape.

This technique addresses under-eye bags and puffiness through an incision inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible external scar. It’s a precise, strategic option for patients whose primary concern is fat displacement rather than excess skin.

A lip lift shortens the space between the nose and upper lip, revealing more of the upper lip and creating a more youthful lip-to-face ratio. It’s a smaller, less invasive option for patients who want to adjust the balance of their lower face without extensive surgery.

Otoplasty, or ear surgery, reshapes or repositions the ears, most often to correct overly prominent ears or improve symmetry. Dr. Lonergan performs this procedure for patients after injury or trauma, and for those whose ear position has affected their confidence since childhood.

Chin augmentations improve facial balance by enhancing chin projection, often restoring a more natural-looking appearance for patients with a recessed chin or asymmetry. Depending on the case, Dr. Lonergan may recommend an implant-based approach for structural augmentation or a fat transfer for smaller, more subtle adjustments. 

Buccal fat removal reduces fullness in the lower cheeks, creating a more contoured, defined facial shape. This procedure suits patients seeking subtle refinement rather than dramatic change, and Dr. Lonergan will prioritize overall facial balance when designing your treatment plan.

Submental liposuction removes excess fat beneath the chin, sharpening the jawline and reducing the appearance of a double chin. It’s often combined with a neck lift for patients seeking more comprehensive enhancement in this area.

A rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job or nose surgery, reshapes the nose to improve both appearance and function, and remains one of Dr. Lonergan's primary areas of focus. She performs open rhinoplasty, allowing for precise, direct visualization of the nasal structure to address dorsal humps, nasal bridge and tip irregularities, and breathing issues. 

Revision rhinoplasties address concerns following a previous nasal surgery, whether functional, aesthetic, or both. These cases require careful evaluation of existing scar tissue and altered anatomy, and Dr. Lonergan approaches each with particular attention to what the prior procedure changed.

Facial fat transfer uses a patient's own fat, typically harvested from the hips, abdomen, or thighs, to restore volume in the cheeks, temples, or under-eye region. This technique offers natural-looking augmentation using tissue the body already recognizes as its own.
