Pamela Howard – Founder, Faceliftology®

Faceliftology is Pamela Howard’s vision, passion project, and life’s work. What began as her dream to create the most honest, patient-centered educational resource on facelift surgery has grown into the trusted go-to site for thousands of people considering facial rejuvenation.

With more than 25 years of hands-on experience in plastic surgery, from the front desk to the operating room, Pamela brings authentic, insider knowledge to the content on Faceliftology. She curates the site’s educational guides, drawing from real-world experience that few others can match.

A Lifetime Dedicated to Plastic Surgery & Patient Care

Pamela’s journey in plastic surgery spans decades and continents. She began her career working directly with the legendary Dr. Ralph Millard, serving as Executive Administrator for the Dr. Ralph Millard Plastic Surgeon Society & Education Foundation. In that role she helped advance surgical education and techniques that continue to shape modern facelift surgery today.

Alongside Dr. Paul Howard, she served as Office Manager, Senior Patient Coordinator, Marketing Director, and Surgical Scrub in their thriving practice. She has prepared hundreds of patients for facelift procedures, assisted in the operating room during deep-plane and SMAS facelifts, coordinated pre- and post-operative care, and supported patients through every emotional and physical step of their transformation.

Beyond private practice, Pamela ran the NewFace Foundation, the non-profit founded by her husband Dr. Paul Howard, dedicated to helping children born with facial deformities receive life-changing reconstructive surgery. She also traveled on numerous third-world mission trips, assisting surgical teams in delivering care to patients who otherwise would have no access to medical treatment.

Early in her patient-education efforts, Pamela created the first professionally produced video aimed at educating patients on the importance of finding a real board-certified plastic surgeon. Originally featured on her former platform, The Plastic Truth (now no longer active), the video remains available on YouTube today. These experiences deepened her commitment to compassionate, honest patient education — the very foundation of Faceliftology.

Pamela’s mission is straightforward: to give prospective patients the clear, realistic, and empowering information they need to make confident decisions.

She believes an educated patient is a happier, more satisfied patient. Welcome to Faceliftology.
