Dr. Hudson Frey, FACS

Double board-certified in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Hudson Frey is a New Orleans facial plastic surgeon who focuses on deep plane facelift surgery and natural facial rejuvenation. As of July 2026, Dr. Frey practices at the Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, bringing modern surgical technique to patients seeking long-lasting, subtle results.

Dr. Hudson Frey completed their medical degree at the University of Texas in 2017, building a foundation in head and neck anatomy before dedicating Dr. Frey's practice to facial surgery. Their training reflects a growing group of surgeons who approach the aging face with both aesthetic and functional precision.

Dr. Frey is listed as board-certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS), a credential that emphasizes deep knowledge of the structures of the face and neck. This background is particularly relevant to deep plane facelift surgery, where nerves, muscle, and connective tissue are handled with care.

With more than four years of dedicated experience, Dr. Frey focuses on three core areas: deep plane facelift, facial rejuvenation, and skin cancer reconstruction. This combination gives Dr. Frey a working knowledge of both cosmetic refinement and complex tissue repair.

Dr. Frey's approach centers on the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system — the layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin). Rather than simply tightening skin, the deep plane technique repositions this deeper layer for results that look natural and hold over time.

Dr. Frey favors subtle, anatomy-respecting outcomes over an over-tightened appearance. Patients who want to look refreshed rather than obviously operated on are often drawn to this philosophy of facial rejuvenation.

Skin cancer reconstruction forms another meaningful part of Dr. Frey's clinical work. Reconstructing the face after cancer removal demands precise tissue handling — a skill that carries directly into elegant, well-hidden facelift incisions.

Dr. Frey has spoken publicly about the deep plane facelift, addressing common concerns patients raise before surgery. Through Dr. Frey's practice and their social platforms, Dr. Frey works to demystify a procedure that many women in their fifties and sixties consider but do not fully understand.

The city of New Orleans anchors Dr. Frey's practice and gives patients a distinctive setting for their care. Known for its warmth, culture, and hospitality, the city offers a comfortable environment for those recovering from surgery.

Dr. Frey's practice at the Buckingham Center places Dr. Frey within a team of facial plastic surgeons, allowing shared standards and a collaborative surgical culture. This team environment supports consistency in technique and patient care.

Recovery is a central topic in every consultation Dr. Frey holds. Dr. Frey guides patients through what to expect in the first weeks after a deep plane facelift, when swelling and bruising gradually give way to a natural, rested appearance.

Dr. Frey serves affluent patients who research their surgeon carefully and value both credentials and communication. Dr. Frey's focus on education reflects an understanding that informed patients make more confident decisions.

As a facial plastic surgeon in New Orleans, Dr. Frey addresses the full picture of facial aging — the midface, jawline, and neck — rather than isolated features. This comprehensive view is a hallmark of deep plane rejuvenation.

Dr. Hudson Frey represents a newer generation of facial plastic surgeons who blend contemporary technique with a conservative aesthetic sensibility. For women considering facial rejuvenation, this balance of modern training and restraint is often reassuring.
