Face & Neck Lift Procedures
The loss of youthful contours in the face can be due to a variety of factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental factors, dramatic weight loss and stress. You may wish to improve the appearance with a face or a neck lift.
When to Consider a Face Lift
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the face and neck. You may consider a facelift when you notice changes in your appearance such as:
- Fat that has fallen or has disappeared
- Jowls or loss of skin tone in the lower face
- A double chin, or loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw
- Sagging in the middle of your face
- Deep creases below the lower eyelids
- Deep creases along the nose and edge of the mouth
When to Consider a Neck Lift
Some people feel they are not ready for a full facelift because the upper face is still pleasing, yet many will note excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a “turkey wattle” or double chin, and jowl lines. When the neck area doesn't match the upper facial appearance, a neck lift may be a good solution. A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck, such as:
- Excess fat and relaxed skin in the lower face
- Excess fat under the chin
- Loose neck skin
- Muscle banding or abnormal contours in the neck
