Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve aesthetics and function. Ideal for patients seeking structural refinement or breathing improvements, this procedure addresses congenital defects, trauma, or cosmetic concerns. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure natural proportions and enhanced airflow.
Facelift
Facelift surgery tightens sagging skin and smooths wrinkles for a youthful appearance. Designed for those with visible aging signs, it restores facial contours and skin elasticity. We prioritize minimally invasive approaches for quicker recovery and natural results.
Botox
Botox injections reduce fine lines and dynamic wrinkles through muscle relaxation. This non-surgical option targets forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. Results appear within days, lasting up to four months with minimal downtime.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty corrects droopy eyelids and under-eye bags for a refreshed look. Suitable for patients with sagging skin or fat deposits, this procedure enhances vision and facial symmetry. We customize incisions to minimize scarring and maintain natural eye contours.
CO2 Resurfacing
CO2 laser resurfacing revitalizes skin texture by targeting fine lines, scars, and sun damage. This ablative treatment stimulates collagen production for smoother, tighter skin. Ideal for facial rejuvenation, it offers customizable intensity for various skin concerns.

I have been going to Jefferson facial plastics for a few years now and I have always had a great experience. The staff is very informative and friendly. My most recent visit Dr. Heffelfinger did an amazing job on my lips. My fillers look so natural and my healing time was very quick. Thank you again Dr. Heffelfinger and nurse Ashley for the great experience I cannot wait for my next visit!

Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Krein. He is kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, and has an easy sense of humor. Procedure was fully explained and he was able to ease any angst. I highly recommend Dr. Krein to anyone in need -or want - of his services. I'm hoping to see him again for the 'want' category!

I highly advise against going here for fillers. My lip was brutally bruised in two areas for a week. I've been to several doctors since this experience, and I was never jabbed by them over and over when getting filler injected. I never had such bad bruising anywhere else, either. The filler also caused my lips to take on a bluish-gray tint for a month post-op, probably because it was injected superficially.

Most doctors only have to inject you a few times with a needle or cannula, rather than 20 times (literally) while holding a strange vibrating device to your mouth to 'numb' the pain. This was after numbing cream was already applied for 15 minutes. I feel the only reason the doctor used the device was to distract me from being repeatedly jabbed since he took so long. The entire procedure took at least twenty minutes, when it should have taken half the time or less. It was so uncomfortable.

Dr. Heffelfinger removed a lipoma in my neck at the shoulder on 03/15/2018. One year ago. He only removed about half of the lipoma and the surgery result left me with numbness on the left side of my face, neck and shoulder. During followups I was told this would resolve itself. It has not. I agreed to wait one full year, at his request to post my review. I did. My face, neck and part of my shoulder remain numb and while shaving it's very uncomfortable and I still get to see the lipona that should have been removed. This will be my life forever. A bulge in my numb neck.

Dr Heffelfinger and his staff are absolutely wonderful! Dr Heffelfinger fixed my DS and removed a bump on the bridge of my nose. He is an extraordinary surgeon. I give him and his staff 10 stars all the way. I highly recommend this office if you are looking to get anything done to your face! You only get one face. chose wisely! Thank you for such a great experience. I'm so happy I chose Jefferson Facial Plastics!

I bought a Groupon for an IPL facial, not knowing what to expect. Jean exceeded all expectations that I had. She is lovely, competent, delightful, knowledgeable, and simply fabulous. She explained the procedure, products, and future options. I'll definitely be back. Thank you! The front desk staff is not only friendly and helpful, but beautiful. It was a great testament to the services they provide. I work in healthcare, and this experience was top notch.
