Male Face and Neck Lift Case #68

Description:

This male patient came to see us with complaints of facial aging. He has developed excessive skin laxity of the neck and lower face and wanted to regain a more sculpted jawline and defined profile. A personalized surgical plan for this patient included a facelift and neck lift with attention to reducing sub-mental and jowl fat.

The surgery was performed in our NYC office using local anesthesia with mild sedation to ensure the comfort of the patient throughout the procedure. The incisions were carefully placed curving around the ears and behind the hairline. For the neck lift, an incision was placed in the skin crease under the chin. The deep layers of facial tissue, underlying muscle (or SMAS) was lifted and tightened and excess fat and loose skin was removed.

For this patient, the facelift and neck lift procedure was able to achieve an aesthetically pleasing contour of the neck and a restored jawline. The lower part of the face looks smooth and more defined. The results are a significant transformation that was personalized to his unique facial features.
