Facial Plastic Surgery in AustinRefine without erasing what makes your face yours.
Facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, lip lift, and otoplasty — performed personally by Dr. Jeffrey Hall, board-certified plastic surgeon since 1997.
Facial surgery designed around your features — not a template.
Facial plastic surgery is, more than any other category of cosmetic work, about subtraction without subtraction. The goal is to refresh the face — to address what's bothering you — while preserving the things that make you recognizable to the people who love you. Dr. Jeffrey Hall has been performing facial procedures in Austin for over 25 years, and his approach is consistent: every face is examined as a whole. A facelift might be the headline, but the eyes, brow, and skin all factor into the outcome.
Hall Plastic Surgery offers seven primary facial procedures, ranging from comprehensive facelifts to focused refinements like lip lift or otoplasty. Many patients combine procedures — a facelift with eyelid surgery, a brow lift with rhinoplasty — to address the entire upper or lower face in a single recovery period. At your consultation, Dr. Hall will examine your specific concerns, discuss what surgical and non-surgical options exist, and help you understand which procedure (or combination) makes sense for your goals.
Procedures are performed in our accredited on-site surgical facility at the Westlake location. Same surgeon at consultation, surgery, and follow-up. That continuity matters — facial work in particular has many touchpoints, and the relationship between surgeon and patient over the months following surgery is part of how outcomes are protected. Most facial cases also benefit from coordinated non-surgical care: skin treatments before surgery to optimize tissue quality, and Botox or fillers afterward to maintain results between surgical interventions. Hall Plastic Surgery integrates surgical and non-surgical care under one roof, with the same team for both, so your aesthetic plan can extend across decades — not just one procedure.
The full range of facial procedures, in one practice.
Facelift
Refresh the lower face and neck.
A facelift addresses skin laxity, deeper tissue support, and jawline definition in the lower two-thirds of the face. Modern techniques work below the surface — repositioning the underlying SMAS layer rather than just pulling skin — for natural-looking results that age gracefully.
Modern facelift technique addresses the deeper SMAS layer, not just skin. The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is the structural sheet of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin that supports the cheeks, jawline, and neck. By repositioning the SMAS — rather than just removing skin — the result is durable, natural-looking, and ages with the patient. Dr. Hall's approach is conservative: results that look refreshed at one year, balanced at five years, and natural at ten.

Brow Lift
Open the upper face.
A brow lift elevates the eyebrows, smooths forehead creases, and softens the deep lines between the brows. Endoscopic and direct approaches are both available depending on your anatomy and the degree of correction needed.
Two main techniques are available. Endoscopic brow lift uses small hidden incisions in the hairline and works well for most patients, with minimal visible scarring. Direct or coronal brow lift uses a longer incision and is reserved for patients with very heavy brows or specific anatomic considerations. Dr. Hall will discuss which technique is appropriate after examination. In some cases, an upper eyelid surgery alone is enough — meaning brow lift is unnecessary.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Refresh tired-looking eyes.
Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin that can hood the eye. Lower eyelid surgery addresses bags, puffiness, and skin laxity beneath the eye. Both procedures are performed through hidden incisions in the natural crease or just below the lash line.
Upper eyelid surgery is one of the highest-impact, lowest-recovery facial procedures. The incision sits in the natural upper eyelid crease and becomes nearly invisible once mature. Lower eyelid surgery is more technically demanding — the goal is to address fat pads and skin laxity without changing the shape of the eye, which requires careful preservation of the lid's natural support. Some lower lid cases use a transconjunctival approach (incision inside the lid) for fat-only correction with no external scar.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Reshape for cosmetic refinement or functional improvement.
Rhinoplasty alters the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, or the angle between the nose and upper lip. The procedure can also correct breathing problems caused by a deviated septum (functional rhinoplasty). Each nose has unique characteristics, so every rhinoplasty plan is built individually.
Rhinoplasty is performed using either an open or closed technique. Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision on the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils), giving the surgeon direct visualization of the nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty is performed entirely through internal incisions. Dr. Hall selects the technique based on what your specific nose requires. Tip refinement, dorsal hump reduction, and nostril reshaping are all common goals — but the most important conversation is what you don't want changed.

Chin Augmentation
Balance facial proportions.
Chin augmentation uses an implant or fat-grafting technique to project a recessed chin, improving the proportional relationship between the chin, nose, and neck. A surprisingly small change here can have a significant effect on overall facial balance.
Two techniques are available. Implant-based chin augmentation uses a silicone implant placed through a small incision under the chin or inside the mouth. Fat-grafting uses fat harvested from another area of the body — often during a combined procedure — and injected into the chin in carefully placed layers. Implants are more predictable in long-term projection; fat is more natural and avoids any foreign material. The right choice depends on how much projection you want and your preferences.

Lip Lift
Refine the upper lip.
A lip lift shortens the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip, exposing more of the upper lip and creating a more youthful proportion. The 'bullhorn' technique uses a hidden incision at the base of the nose and produces lasting results — unlike fillers, which require maintenance.
The 'bullhorn' lip lift technique uses a small incision tucked along the base of the nose, where the skin transitions to the lip area. The amount of skin removed is precisely measured during consultation based on your specific philtrum length. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for most patients. Unlike fillers, results are permanent — you don't need ongoing treatment. The scar matures over 6–12 months and is well-hidden in the natural shadow at the base of the nose.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
Correct prominent or asymmetric ears.
Otoplasty repositions the ear closer to the head, reshapes the ear cartilage, and corrects asymmetry. The procedure is performed on both adults and children — children typically benefit most around age 5–7, before the ears reach full adult size and before social awareness develops.
Otoplasty technique varies based on the specific anatomy. The most common pattern is overdeveloped concha (ear bowl) combined with weak antihelical fold (the inner ridge). The procedure reshapes the cartilage to recreate the antihelical fold and reduces conchal projection. For children, the optimal age is 5–7 — the ear has reached most of its adult size, and the procedure is done before social awareness becomes painful. Adults can have otoplasty at any age.

Many patients come to consultation knowing they want "something" but unsure which procedure addresses their specific concern. Here's how the procedures sort by what they actually fix:
| If your concern is… | The procedure is… | Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Sagging lower face / jowls / neck | Facelift | Non-surgical: BodyTite, Morpheus 8 (limited) |
| Heavy or low brow position | Brow lift | Non-surgical: Botox (temporary) |
| Excess upper eyelid skin | Upper blepharoplasty | None — surgery is the only fix |
| Under-eye bags / puffiness | Lower blepharoplasty | Non-surgical: filler (under-eye trough) |
| Nasal hump or tip refinement | Rhinoplasty | Non-surgical: liquid rhinoplasty (limited) |
| Recessed or weak chin | Chin augmentation | Non-surgical: filler (temporary, costly long-term) |
| Long upper lip / hidden teeth at rest | Lip lift | None — fillers add volume but don't shorten |
| Prominent or asymmetric ears | Otoplasty | None |
Recovery and downtime — facial procedures.
Recovery for facial procedures varies more than people expect. A facelift and a lip lift are both "facial surgery," but they share little in common from the patient's perspective. Here's what to plan for:
- Lip lift
- Otoplasty (adults)
- Eyelid surgery
- Brow lift
- Chin augmentation
- Rhinoplasty
- Facelift
These are general timelines for return to social and work activities. Bruising and swelling resolve at different rates for different patients — age, skin type, smoking history, and the specific technique used all factor in. Final results for facelift and rhinoplasty continue to refine for 3–12 months as deeper tissue settles.
What facial plastic surgery costs in Austin.
Pricing for facial procedures varies based on the specific technique, anesthesia type, and whether procedures are combined. Hall Plastic Surgery provides individualized pricing at your consultation — once Dr. Hall has examined the area and discussed what techniques apply to your case.
We accept financing through several patient-financing partners with 0% APR options for qualified borrowers. Combining procedures often makes sense not just for shared recovery time but for shared facility and anesthesia costs — a facelift with eyelid surgery, performed together, is meaningfully less expensive than the same two procedures performed separately.
Explore financing optionsWhat to expect at your facial surgery consultation.
The consultation is the most important step in facial surgery. Far more than a sales appointment, it's a dedicated conversation about what's actually bothering you, what's surgically possible, and what's realistic. For facial work especially, the consultation often surfaces options the patient hadn't considered — a brow lift instead of, or in addition to, the eyelid surgery they came in for.
Dr. Hall personally examines the area, reviews your medical history, and takes a series of photographs that help him plan the procedure. You'll see those photographs together and discuss specifically what each technique would and wouldn't address. For procedures like rhinoplasty and facelift, computer imaging is sometimes used to preview potential outcomes — though we're careful to set expectations that imaging is approximate, not a guarantee.
Practical topics covered: anesthesia options, where the procedure will be performed (almost always our accredited Westlake facility), recovery timeline specific to your work and life, scar location and care, pricing in writing, and financing options. You'll leave with all the information needed to decide — without pressure to schedule on the spot. Most patients book a second consultation before committing, especially for facelift or rhinoplasty, and we encourage that.
From consultation to final result — what the timeline actually looks like.
Complimentary 60–90 minute consultation with Dr. Hall. Examination, photographs, discussion of options. Pricing in writing before you leave.
Final measurements, surgical markings discussed, pre-op instructions reviewed. Medical clearance from your primary care physician if required.
Procedure performed at our accredited Westlake surgical facility. Most facial procedures are 1.5–4 hours. You'll go home the same day with a designated driver and overnight care.
Most bruising and swelling concentrated here. Sleep elevated. Cold compresses. Stitches removed at 5–7 days for most procedures. Walking encouraged; no exercise.
Most patients comfortable in public. Makeup can cover residual bruising. Back to desk work. Light activity resumed.
Cardio first, then strength training. Heavy lifting and bending below the waist are the last activities to return.
Swelling continues to refine for months after surgery — particularly for rhinoplasty (12 months) and facelift (3–6 months). Photographs at 1 year are the true 'after.'
Dr. Jeffrey Hall — board-certified, 25+ years.
Dr. Hall has been performing plastic surgery in Austin since 1995. He earned his medical degree, completed plastic surgery residency, and was certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in 1997 — the field's highest credentialing body. He has maintained that certification continuously and is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Medical Association, and the Texas Medical Association.
His approach is consistent across every patient: the surgeon you talk to in consultation is the surgeon in the operating room and at every follow-up. There are no associates performing parts of the case. There's no rotating cast at post-op visits. For procedures with this many touchpoints, that continuity is the whole point.
Why patients choose Hall Plastic Surgery for facial work.
25+ years of facial surgery experience
Dr. Hall has been performing facial procedures in Austin since 1995. Repetition matters — the right technique for the right patient comes from having operated on enough variation to know what works.
Same surgeon at consult, surgery, and follow-up
There are no associates performing parts of your case. The surgeon you build trust with at consultation is the surgeon in the operating room and at every post-op visit.
Accredited on-site surgical facility
Procedures are performed in our own accredited surgery center at Westlake — not a hospital. This gives us control over scheduling, privacy, anesthesia team, and the overall patient experience.
Natural-looking results
Dr. Hall's facelift and rhinoplasty work prioritizes refinement over transformation. The goal is a refreshed version of you, not a different version. Patients consistently comment that they look like themselves — just rested.
Comprehensive aesthetic ecosystem
The Hall Rejuvenation MedSpa is integrated with the surgical practice, which means non-surgical maintenance — Botox, fillers, skin treatments — happens with the same team that performed your surgery.
Family-owned, long-standing practice
Dr. Hall co-owns the practice with his wife. The team has been together for years. The result is the kind of consistency and personal attention that's hard to find at high-volume corporate practices.
Common myths about facial plastic surgery — corrected.
A facelift will make me look like someone else.
Modern facelifts are designed to make you look like a refreshed version of yourself — not a different person. The 'pulled' or 'windswept' appearance comes from older techniques that only repositioned skin. Today's SMAS-based techniques work below the surface to restore natural support, producing results that look like good rest, not surgery.
I need to wait until I'm older to have facial surgery.
There's no fixed age threshold. Some procedures — like upper eyelid surgery for hooded lids, or rhinoplasty for a feature you've never liked — are commonly performed in patients in their 30s. Other procedures naturally make sense later. The right time is when the issue you're addressing has progressed beyond what non-surgical options can fix.
Non-surgical treatments can do everything surgery can.
Non-surgical treatments (Botox, fillers, lasers, RF) excel at maintenance and minor refinement. They cannot lift sagging tissue meaningfully, cannot remove excess skin, and cannot reshape underlying structure. The most informed patients use both — surgery for foundational changes, non-surgical for ongoing maintenance — and we offer both at Hall.
Facelifts only last 5–7 years.
A well-performed SMAS facelift lasts 10–15 years for most patients. The face continues to age, of course — gravity and time don't stop — but the structural improvement from a facelift remains long after the procedure. Many patients never need a second facelift; they maintain results with skincare, sun protection, and occasional non-surgical maintenance.
Eyelid surgery removes too much fat and creates a hollow look.
This was a real concern with older lower eyelid techniques, which removed fat aggressively. Modern technique repositions or carefully removes only excess fat, often combined with fat grafting to surrounding areas, producing a smooth and naturally refreshed result rather than a hollow one.
What patients say about Hall Plastic Surgery.
"From the moment you walk in, it's clear this family-owned practice truly cares — you're remembered, acknowledged, and welcomed with warmth rather than treated like just another appointment."
"Dr. Hall's calm, thoughtful presence sets the tone for the entire practice. You feel instantly at ease in his care, and his expertise is evident in the natural, balanced results he champions."
"Hall Plastic Surgery is not only renowned, but deeply trusted — a reputation that's earned every day in how patients are treated. I've visited both Westlake and Cedar Park and the consistency of care is outstanding."
Common questions about facial plastic surgery.
The simplest test: look at yourself in a mirror with a relaxed expression. If your jawline is blurred or you see neck banding — that's a facelift conversation. If your brows feel heavy or sit low on your eyes — brow lift. If you have hooded upper lids or persistent under-eye bags — eyelid surgery. Most patients have some combination of all three, and Dr. Hall will help you prioritize at consultation.
Not when it's done with the right technique. The 'windswept' look comes from procedures that pull only skin. Modern facelifts reposition the deeper SMAS layer, which holds the structural changes for years and produces a result that looks like a younger version of you — not a stretched version. Dr. Hall's approach prioritizes natural-looking outcomes, especially around the corners of the mouth and ears, where unnatural results are most visible.
There's no fixed age. The right time for surgery is when the issue you're trying to address has progressed to the point that non-surgical alternatives no longer give you the result you want. Some patients benefit from upper eyelid surgery in their late 30s; others wait until their 70s for a facelift. The other consideration is general health — Dr. Hall will review your medical history at consultation to confirm you're a safe candidate.
Yes. A 'functional' rhinoplasty addresses internal nasal structures (often a deviated septum or weak internal valves) that obstruct airflow. Most cosmetic rhinoplasties at Hall Plastic Surgery include some functional component, because the same surgical access used to reshape the nose externally also allows correction of internal issues. Insurance may cover the functional portion in some cases.
Filler adds volume — it makes lips look fuller but doesn't change the proportion of your face. A lip lift shortens the distance between your nose and your upper lip, which exposes more of the natural pink of the lip and reveals the upper teeth at rest. The two address different things. Lip lift is permanent; filler is temporary (6–12 months) and requires ongoing maintenance.
Yes. Revision rhinoplasty and revision facelift are both performed at Hall Plastic Surgery. Revision work is more complex than primary surgery — scar tissue, altered anatomy, and limited skin all factor in — so consultation for revision cases is longer and includes detailed review of prior operative notes when available.
It depends on the procedure. Facelift, rhinoplasty, and combined cases use general anesthesia for safety and comfort. Smaller procedures like lip lift, otoplasty, and isolated upper eyelid surgery can often be performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Dr. Hall will discuss anesthesia options at consultation.
Modern facelift incisions are designed to be hidden in the hairline above the ear, along the natural curve in front of and behind the ear, and within the hair behind the ear. Incisions heal as fine lines that, once mature, are difficult to see even at conversational distance. Patients often return to wearing their hair up within a few months.
Eyelid surgery: typically 10–15 years for upper lids. Facelift: 10+ years, though aging continues — a facelift turns the clock back, it doesn't stop it. Rhinoplasty and otoplasty: permanent. Lip lift: permanent. Maintaining results is mostly about skin care, sun protection, and avoiding significant weight fluctuations.
