Cosmetic treatment can take many forms, from subtle nonsurgical rejuvenation to more involved procedures that reshape the face, breasts, or body. The right option depends on what a patient wants to change, how much correction is needed, and whether the goal is to restore, refine, tighten, add volume, or improve overall proportion. Access to a broad range of treatments makes it easier to match the procedure to the concern rather than forcing every patient into the same solution.
Boston Plastic Surgery offers cosmetic procedures for the face, breasts, body, and skin under the care of Samuel Lin, MD, FACS. Dr. Lin has practiced plastic surgery in the Boston area since 2007 and brings experience across both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, allowing patients to explore surgical and nonsurgical options within one practice.
Procedures Available At Boston Plastic Surgery
Facial Surgeries
Facial procedures can address signs of aging, improve balance between features, or correct concerns involving the face and neck.
Facelift
Facelift surgery can improve jowling, loose skin, deeper facial folds, and reduced definition through the lower face and jawline. The procedure repositions deeper tissues and removes excess skin where needed.
Neck Lift
A neck lift focuses on loose skin, muscle banding, fullness beneath the chin, and reduced jawline definition. It may be performed alone or together with facelift surgery.
Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty can refresh the upper or lower eyelids by addressing sagging skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags. In some cases, upper eyelid surgery may also improve vision when excess skin blocks part of the visual field.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can reshape the nose while also addressing certain functional breathing concerns. Dr. Lin performs cosmetic, functional, and revision nose surgery depending on the patient’s needs.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty can reposition prominent ears, improve asymmetry, or reshape certain parts of the ear. The procedure may be appropriate for both children and adults.
Chin And Cheek Implants
Chin and cheek augmentation can strengthen facial contours and improve proportion. Chin implants can add projection to a recessed profile, while cheek implants can enhance midface definition or restore fullness.
Breast Surgeries
Breast procedures may focus on size, shape, comfort, reconstruction, or changes after mastectomy.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses saline or silicone implants to add volume, improve proportion, or restore fullness lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or aging.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction can rebuild breast shape after mastectomy using implants, the patient’s own tissue, or a combination of techniques. Options may include DIEP flap, latissimus dorsi flap, and implant-based reconstruction.
Breast Reduction And Lift
Breast reduction can make overly large breasts smaller and lighter, while a breast lift reshapes and raises breasts that have begun to sag. The procedures may be performed together when both volume and position need correction.
Going Flat After Mastectomy
Some patients choose not to reconstruct the breast after mastectomy. Going flat involves contouring the chest to create a smooth, intentional flat appearance and may be performed at the time of mastectomy or after previous reconstruction.
Body Contouring Treatments
Body contouring procedures can address stubborn fat, loose skin, stretched abdominal tissue, and changes after pregnancy or major weight loss.
Body Lift
A body lift removes excess skin and reshapes areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, and thighs. It is particularly useful after significant weight loss when the skin has not tightened around the new body shape.
BodyTite™ And FaceTite™
BodyTite™ and FaceTite™ use radiofrequency-assisted technology to reduce localized fat and tighten tissue. BodyTite is used for areas of the body, while FaceTite focuses on the lower face, jowls, and upper neck.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits that remain despite diet and exercise. It can be used on several areas of the body to improve contour rather than produce significant weight loss.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
A tummy tuck removes loose abdominal skin and can tighten separated abdominal muscles. Liposuction may also be incorporated when stubborn fat deposits affect the surrounding contour.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Nonsurgical treatments can address wrinkles, lost volume, pigmentation, and skin texture without the recovery associated with surgery.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic softens expression-related wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet by temporarily relaxing selected facial muscles.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers restore volume and can be used to enhance the lips, soften facial folds, improve cheek fullness, or add definition to areas such as the jawline.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing can improve sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, and uneven texture. Different treatment depths allow the procedure to be adjusted according to the patient’s skin concerns and recovery preferences.
Why Choose Boston Plastic Surgery For Cosmetic Procedures?
The advantage of a broad cosmetic practice is having more than one way to approach a concern. Dr. Lin is board-certified in both Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and has experience spanning facial surgery, breast procedures, body contouring, reconstruction, injectables, and aesthetic technologies. He also serves in leadership roles at BIDMC and Harvard Medical School and remains active in research, teaching, and surgical innovation.
This range of experience allows Boston Plastic Surgery to compare surgical and nonsurgical options based on what will realistically provide the degree of improvement a patient wants. Treatment recommendations can therefore reflect anatomy, recovery preferences, long-term goals, and the specific area being addressed rather than being limited by a narrow menu of procedures.
