Facelift and Neck Lift

This patient sought our help because she was unhappy with her tired appearance. She noticed that her early jowls, neck skin laxity and mid-face volume loss and sagging all contributed to her fatigued look. A surgical plan was developed after a thorough evaluation of the patient's facial features, skin texture and elasticity, and rejuvenation goals.

A facelift and neck lift procedure was performed on this patient in our NYC office under local anesthesia with mild sedation. The incisions were carefully and discreetly placed around the ears, extending into the hairline behind the ears, as well as in the skin crease under the chin. The underlying muscle (or SMAS) was lifted and tightened. The main goal of this step was to create a youthful, defined contour of the lower face and get rid of tissue laxity.

For this patient, the facelift and neck lift surgery was able to effectively eliminate the jowls, elevate the mid-face and restore a smooth and defined contour of the lower face and neck. The results are a significant, natural-looking rejuvenation, giving the patient the youthful, vibrant appearance she was hoping for.
