Surgery

As a renowned oculofacial surgeon with decades of surgical experience in the delicate structures of the face, Dr. Cynthia Boxrud brings an elevated level of expertise to facial and neck rejuvenation. Unlike general plastic surgeons, her deep anatomical knowledge allows her to approach facelifts, neck lifts, and contouring with refined precision — delivering natural, unpulled results that preserve your unique expression.

Dr. Boxrud is internationally recognized for her expertise in both aesthetic and reconstructive facial procedures. She is a Clinical Professor at the UCLA Stein Eye Institute and Providence St. John’s, where she teaches advanced surgical techniques and mentors the next generation of specialists.

Her tailored approach attracts patients from around the world who are seeking elegant, subtle enhancement — not drastic change. Whether you’re just beginning to notice signs of aging or considering full facial rejuvenation, Dr. Boxrud offers a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical options to fit your lifestyle and goals.

Dr. Boxrud regularly treats a

wide range of conditions, including:

Facelift (SMAS Facelift)

Restore youthful contours and lift sagging jowls and cheeks.
Dr. Boxrud performs SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) facelifts, a time-tested technique that lifts and repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue — not just the skin. This comprehensive approach smooths deep folds, elevates the midface, and defines the jawline for results that look natural, never overdone. Ideal for patients experiencing lower face laxity, marionette lines, and midface descent.

Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)

Smooth, tighten, and contour the aging neck.
A neck lift refines the jawline and removes loose, excess skin from the neck while tightening the underlying platysma muscle. Dr. Boxrud’s technique is ideal for eliminating “turkey neck,” softening vertical neck bands, and correcting double chin fullness. Often combined with a facelift for full lower face rejuvenation.

Brow Lift (Endoscopic or Lateral Temporal Lift)

Reposition the brow and brighten the upper face.
A sagging brow can create a tired or heavy appearance. Dr. Boxrud performs both endoscopic and lateral brow lifts to elevate the eyebrows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and open up the eyes — without altering your natural expression. This procedure is often paired with eyelid surgery for comprehensive upper face rejuvenation.

Mini Facelift / Ponytail Lift

Subtle lift, shorter scars, and quicker recovery.
Perfect for patients in their 40s to early 60s or those with early signs of facial aging, the mini facelift — sometimes called a "ponytail lift" — addresses mild jowling and sagging in the lower face and jawline. With limited incisions and faster downtime, this approach refreshes your appearance without the commitment of a full facelift.

Facial Fat Grafting

Restore lost volume with your body’s natural filler.
Facial fat grafting uses your own fat — typically harvested from the abdomen or thighs — to replenish areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging. This can include the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and temples. Fat grafting not only enhances facial contours but also improves skin quality over time.

Non-Surgical Face & Neck Rejuvenation

Enhance or maintain results with injectables and skin treatments.
For patients not ready for surgery — or looking to prolong their surgical results — Dr. Boxrud offers customized non-surgical treatments. These include Botox for dynamic wrinkles and neck bands, dermal fillers for facial volume restoration, and energy-based therapies to tighten skin and improve texture. A tailored non-surgical plan can subtly refresh the face or enhance surgical outcomes.
