Whether patients seek a smoother jawline or tighter neck silhouette, Aesthera Plastic Surgery is the premier choice for achieving aesthetic goals.
What is a Facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. As we age, our skin starts to lose elasticity, and fat deposits can diminish, leading to sagging jowls, deep creases around the mouth and nose, and loose skin on the neck. A facelift involves tightening facial muscles and tissues while removing excess skin to create a smoother, firmer and more youthful appearance.
During a facelift procedure, incisions are carefully made in inconspicuous areas, such as behind the hairline or around the ears, to minimize scarring. The surgeon then repositions the underlying tissue before redraping the skin over it, trimming away any excess skin, and closing the incisions. The result is a more youthful complexion with reduced wrinkles and improved contours.
At Aesthera Plastic Surgery, we understand that everyone ages differently and has unique aesthetic goals. Our highly experienced medical professionals work closely with each patient to ensure personalized treatment plans for optimum results. Whether addressing loose jowls or smoothing out deep laugh lines, our expert surgeon utilizes advanced techniques to deliver natural-looking outcomes with minimal downtime for facelifts and neck lifts.
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline. As we age, the skin on our neck tends to become loose and saggy due to sun exposure, gravity, and loss of collagen. This can result in the formation of horizontal bands or vertical cords along the front part of the neck.
Surgeons remove excess fat and tighten the muscles (platysma) to create a more defined neckline during a neck lift. Additionally, any excess skin will be trimmed and repositioned for smoother contours. A neck lift aims to restore firmness and definition to this area while creating harmonious aesthetic proportions with other facial features.
Benefits of a Facelift
Facelifts tighten and lift sagging skin on the face. They can also diminish deep wrinkles, fine lines, producing smoother and rejuvenated skin.
Another benefit of a facelift is improved self-assurance. As we age, our skin loses tone and sags. This can lead to self-consciousness or dissatisfaction. By undergoing a facelift, individuals can regain confidence by achieving a youthful look that aligns with their lifestyle.
Benefits of a Neck Lift
Neck lifts also help smooth out sagging skin in the neck area and eliminate excess fat under the chin and on the upper part of the neck. By removing unwanted fat deposits, patients can achieve a more defined jawline.
Patients who elect to have a neck lift also experience increased self-confidence. Many individuals feel self-conscious about loose skin or excess fat in their neck area, which may affect their self-esteem. Patients often experience increased confidence and overall quality of life by addressing these concerns through surgery.
Combined Facelift and Neck Lift: Achieving Comprehensive Results
Combined facelift and neck lift procedures are an effective way to achieve a beautiful, natural appearance.
The facelift procedure targets sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of volume on the face. Tightening underlying muscles and removing excess skin can help restore a smoother jawline and eliminate jowls. However, addressing only the face may leave the neck area mismatched or aged. This is where combining it with a neck lift becomes crucial.
A neck lift improves loose or sagging skin around the neck region. It aims to redefine the jawline by eliminating excess fat deposits under the chin and restoring tightness to muscles that have become lax over time. Combining these two procedures ensures harmonious results that address both areas seamlessly, creating a more balanced overall facial aesthetic.
Frequently Asked Questions about Facelifts and Neck Lifts
Will there be visible scarring after these procedures?
Scarring happens with any surgical procedure. Our experienced Aesthera plastic surgeon minimizes visible scars by placing incisions strategically within natural creases and behind the ears. Over time, these scars typically fade and become less noticeable. Postoperative scar instructions are important to follow to minimize visibility of scars.
How long does it take to recover from a facelift or neck lift?
Recovery times vary from person to person. However, most patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which subside gradually within several weeks after surgery. Following post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon will help optimize recovery time.
What is the best age to have a facelift and necklift?
There are no set age criteria for face and neck lift. Rather, the decision to proceed with this procedure depends on how much an individual is bothered by sagging skin or contour of the neck. Often, patients that have lost significant weight will undergo a face and neck lift at a younger age.
How much youger will I appear after my facelift and necklift?
There have been number of studies that report individuals appear nine to ten years younger after a facelift and necklift.
What is a “mini facelift”?
A “mini facelift” is very similar to a traditional facelift. The amount of muscle manipulation is slightly less than a traditional facelift. Certain individuals that have moderate signs of aging may be candidates for a “mini facelift.” This can be performed under local anesthesia in the office which allows for a quicker recovery.
Do you perform fat transfer at the time of facelift?
Depending on the goals of the patient, it is commonly performed at the same time. A patient’s own fat is harvest from the abdomen or thighs to add volume and improve texture of the face. During your consultation with Dr. CV Chegireddy, he will collaborate with you to create a surgical plan that acheives your desires result.
