As we age, the face and neck often show signs of sagging, wrinkles, and loose skin. While a facelift offers a more youthful appearance by addressing the lower face, combining it with a neck lift ensures that the entire face and neck are rejuvenated, resulting in a more harmonious look.
Why Combine Facelift and Neck Lift?
- Harmonious Results: A facelift tightens the lower face, but the neck can still show signs of aging. By combining the two, you achieve a more balanced appearance.
- One Recovery, One Procedure: Instead of two separate surgeries, patients undergo one recovery period, which is more convenient and cost-effective.
- Comprehensive Rejuvenation: Tackling multiple areas at once provides an overall refreshed and youthful look, with fewer visible signs of aging.
What Does a Facelift Correct?
A facelift tightens sagging skin in the lower face, addresses deep wrinkles, and restores lost volume. The result is a smoother, more youthful face, with the jawline and cheeks appearing firmer.
What Does a Neck Lift Address?
A neck lift eliminates loose skin, fat, and muscle bands that create a “turkey neck” or sagging jawline. This procedure smooths and tightens the neck for a sleek, youthful profile.
Latest Trends in Face and Neck Rejuvenation
- Minimally Invasive Neck Lift: Many patients opt for a less invasive neck lift combined with a facelift, minimizing recovery time while still achieving significant results.
- Non-Surgical Add-Ons: Treatments like Ultherapy or radiofrequency skin tightening are becoming popular additions to surgical procedures, enhancing results with little downtime.
Ideal Candidates for Combined Procedures
Those who are experiencing both facial and neck aging are great candidates for this combination. If you have sagging jowls, loose neck skin, or deep wrinkles in the lower face, you might benefit from addressing both areas simultaneously.
