Face

Your face is the first thing people notice about you, not to mention the first thing you see in the mirror each morning. Unfortunately, the face is also one of the first places to reflect signs of aging. Facial enhancement can target the visible signs of aging by tightening sagging skin or smoothing away wrinkles.

At Harrington + Associates Plastic Surgery, we customize every procedure for each patient to honor the subtle nuances that make us all unique. Top female plastic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Harrington has helped men and women from Minneapolis-St. Paul and across Minnesota with facial enhancement surgery.

Facial Rejuvenation Overview

Whether your concern is heavy or drooping eyelids, a softening jawline, a nose that has never quite felt right or the gradual loosening of skin that comes with time, facial surgery offers precise and lasting solutions.

At Harrington + Associates Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jennifer Harrington approaches every facial procedure with the same philosophy: results that look natural, not done. The goal is never to erase who you are, but rather to help you look just as energized and youthful as you feel. Each procedure is customized to honor the unique features that make you you.

Common Treatment Areas

Facial surgery addresses a wide range of concerns, from single areas that have bothered a patient for years to a combination of procedures performed together for a more complete result. The most commonly treated areas include:

  • Eyes
  • Jawline and chin
  • Mid and lower face
  • Nose
  • Lips
  • Skin and moles

Procedures Offered

Dr. Harrington offers a full range of facial surgical procedures, each tailored to your unique facial anatomy and goals. Whether you’re addressing a single concern or combining procedures for a more comprehensive result, every treatment plan begins with an honest conversation about what’s possible.

Eyelid Surgery

Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery of the upper or lower eyelids removes excess skin and fat.

Double Chin Liposuction

When fat is stored disproportionately in the jawline and neck, double chin liposuction can accomplish what diet and exercise often can’t.

Lip Augmentation

Thin lips, either due to age or genetics, can detract from your natural beauty. Lip augmentation uses injections to naturally increase lip volume.

Surgical Mole Removal

Removing unwanted moles requires a talented surgeon who can address any aesthetic concerns while also looking out for your skin health.

Facelift

A facelift is a popular cosmetic surgery for men and women to correct common signs of aging in the mid to lower face area.

Rhinoplasty

If you feel self conscious about your nose or feel like your nose doesn’t “fit” your face, rhinoplasty can be an excellent option to consider.

Which Procedure Is Right for You?

The right facial procedure depends on your specific concerns, your anatomy and what you’re hoping to achieve. Some patients come in with a clear idea of what they want, while others aren’t sure where to start. In either case, a consultation with Dr. Harrington is the best place to start!

Dr. Harrington takes time to assess the face as a whole rather than in isolation, which means the recommendation you leave with is built around what will actually make a difference for you specifically. To schedule a consultation, call our Plymouth office at 651-290-7600 or contact us online.

Facial Rejuvenation FAQs

How much does facial rejuvenation surgery cost in Minneapolis?

The cost varies depending on which procedure or combination of procedures you choose. During your consultation, you’ll receive a personalized quote based on your specific treatment plan. Financing options are available through our office to help make surgery accessible.

Does insurance cover the cost of facial cosmetic surgery?

In most cases, no. Elective cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance. There are rare exceptions, such as eyelid surgery that is causing a documented vision obstruction, but coverage for cosmetic facial surgery is uncommon.

How painful is recovery after facial cosmetic surgery?

Most patients describe discomfort rather than significant pain, particularly with procedures like eyelid surgery and double chin liposuction. Facelift recovery involves more swelling and bruising, though pain is generally well-managed with medication. Dr. Harrington’s opioid-free surgery and recovery approach means many patients recover more comfortably than they expected.

How long do results last?

This depends on the procedure. Facelift results typically last ten years or more. Eyelid surgery results are long-lasting, though the face continues to age naturally over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, staying out of the sun and following a good skincare routine all help extend your results.

Is facial rejuvenation worth it?

For most patients, yes. The majority of Dr. Harrington’s facial surgery patients report feeling more confident and more like themselves after their procedures. The best way to know if a particular treatment could be right for you is to come in for a consultation to discuss your needs and goals with Dr. Harrington.
