What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 50 Google reviewsThis experience with Hudson from the first phone call, every office visit, thru results and continued care has been outstanding/exceptional. I would highly recommend any patient to this office and Dr Hudson. My advice: She’s a rising star so don’t hesitate!!
Seamless pre- and post-procedure process and the team was kind, friendly, and thoughtful. Highly recommend.
Dr Hudson is caring, professional and takes as much time as you need to ensure you get the results you want. Compassionate woman driven to achieve your goals with success.
I would definitely recommend Dr Hudson. I am 34 and had a front & corner lip lift. After years of being miserable with trying to shove lip filler in my tiny lips, Dr Hudson gave me the chance to barely even need lip filler anymore. My sides were rolling in with the filler, now they are lifted. The distance now between my nose and top lip is shorter and it looks so natural and the scars are barely there. I wish I had done this years ago! Also, not only is her work great, but Dr Hudson is knowledgeable, gentle, kind, listens to your needs/ wants and is considerate. Trust me, you want that in someone who you are trusting with your face. Thank you Dr Hudson!

Dr. Hudson's Surgical Approach
Dr. Caroline Hudson approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the surface layers of the face to reposition deeper tissue.
Dr. Caroline Hudson approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the surface layers of the face to reposition deeper tissue. This method addresses the underlying structures responsible for facial aging rather than relying on skin tension alone.
Central to the technique is the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that gives the face its structural support. In a deep plane facelift, Dr. Hudson works below this layer rather than above it.
