Facelift and Neck Lift procedures are often performed together to provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This combination effectively targets both the lower face and neck, addressing sagging skin, wrinkles, and muscle laxity. The result is a more youthful, refreshed appearance with enhanced facial harmony.
Facelift (Rhytidectomy):
A facelift focuses on lifting and tightening the skin and muscles in the lower face. It addresses sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, jowls, and loose skin. The procedure involves making incisions along the hairline and around the ears, allowing the surgeon to lift and reposition underlying tissues, remove excess skin, and create a firmer, more youthful facial contour. This procedure is ideal for those looking to restore a more youthful appearance while maintaining their natural facial features.
Benefits of a Facelift:
Comprehensive Lower-Face Rejuvenation: Lifts sagging skin and smooths deep wrinkles.
Long-Lasting Results: The results can last for many years, offering a significant improvement in facial appearance.
Natural-Looking Enhancement: With a skilled surgeon, the results appear natural rather than “overdone.”
Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty or Cervicoplasty):
A neck lift complements a facelift by addressing sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding in the neck area. The procedure tightens loose skin, smooths out wrinkles, and refines the jawline and neck contour. Incisions are typically made behind the ears and under the chin, allowing for discreet scarring while providing significant improvement in neck appearance.
Benefits of a Neck Lift:
Enhanced Jawline and Neck Contour: Reduces sagging and creates a smoother, more defined neck.
Younger-Looking Profile: By addressing the neck, the overall facial profile is more balanced and youthful.
Minimal Scarring: Incisions are well-hidden, resulting in barely noticeable scars.
Why Combine a Facelift and Neck Lift?
Combining these procedures ensures that the face and neck are rejuvenated together, providing a consistent and natural-looking result. It addresses both sagging in the lower face and neck, ensuring a smoother transition between the face and neck for a cohesive appearance.
