Facelift / Necklift Surgery

Facelift Essentials

Defining the Facelift Area

Facelift surgery concentrates on revitalizing the region spanning from the eyes to the clavicles. While forehead lifts are seldom recommended unless brow position is exceptionally low, facelifts aim to complement, not replace, treatments like Botox and Xeomin for the forehead and between the brows.

Understanding Facelift Procedure

A facelift procedure starts with a comprehensive discussion of your cosmetic goals. Is cheek elevation necessary? Do you require eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)? Will chin liposuction enhance your results? Each adjustment made to your face impacts related structures, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive planning for harmonious outcomes.

The incision for a facelift begins in the hairline above the ear, strategically avoiding hairline elevation. It continues in front of the ear, behind the tragus to conceal the scar, and in front of the lobule before ascending behind the ear. Depending on the degree of excess skin, the incision may extend into the hairline behind the ear, carefully designed to allow hair growth through the scar.

Achieving Harmonious Results

Balancing the Art of Facial Enhancement

Facelifts are an intricate dance of lifting and tightening, impacting not only the skin but also the underlying structures. Often, fat pads of the cheek are repositioned or minor chin liposuction is performed. The procedure inherently includes necklift benefits, providing an all-encompassing solution for facial rejuvenation.

The Importance of Facial Harmony

Facelift success hinges on more than just tightening; it involves adding volume and improving skin quality. Volume can be achieved through techniques like fat transfer or fillers. Additionally, skin resurfacing, either before, during, or after surgery, ensures that the lifted skin is both robust and refined.

Considering the Timing

The Right Time for a Facelift

Delaying facelift surgery excessively can lead to results that appear significantly different from your natural look. Therefore, it’s crucial to seek treatment when it’s genuinely needed. If you believe a facelift may be necessary, it’s an excellent time for a consultation to explore your options.

Necklift: The Perfect Complement

Enhancing Your Profile with a Necklift

A necklift is often performed in tandem with a facelift. This add-on procedure targets “platysmal banding,” visible as bands of tissue when you thrust your lower jaw forward. Through a small incision beneath the chin, the platysma muscle is corseted back together. This step prevents the neck from appearing widened and overly thick laterally, especially when smiling.

A Comfortable Recovery

Minimal Pain, Maximum Results

Despite the surgical nature of facelifts, recovery is remarkably tolerable. Patients typically experience mild swelling and bruising, but pain is generally minimal. Nerve blocks help control initial discomfort, ensuring a smooth recovery process.

Embark on Your Rejuvenation Journey

Facelifts and necklifts offer transformative results, restoring your youthful appearance and confidence. If the signs of aging are causing concern, schedule a consultation to explore your personalized options and discover the path to timeless elegance.

While a facelift can yield remarkable improvements in facial aesthetics, neglecting the neck area may result in an unbalanced and less comprehensive rejuvenation. A necklift performed in conjunction with a facelift ensures a more natural-looking outcome, helping patients achieve a more youthful and unified appearance.
