What Is a Face and Neck Lift?
A face and neck lift is a surgical procedure that tightens facial and neck tissues that loosen over time and corrects sagging.
- Face lift: Mainly targets sagging in the mid and lower face.
- Neck lift: Focuses on laxity under the chin and neck and on a jawline that has lost definition.
Surgical vs. non-surgical: Surgical lifting addresses structural sagging, while non-surgical methods are generally preferred for milder changes. Which is suitable is determined by assessment.
Why Is It Needed?
- Ageing and reduced tissue elasticity
- Gravity-related sagging
- A jawline losing its definition
- Neck laxity and banding
Example: Even in someone who takes good care of their skin, if tissue laxity is advanced, surface treatments alone may not suffice; a surgical approach can then be considered.
How Is a Face and Neck Lift Performed?
- Incisions are usually planned to be hidden within the hairline and around the ears.
- Underlying tissues are tightened and excess skin is adjusted.
- Duration and anaesthesia depend on the scope.
Who Is It Suitable For?
- Those with noticeable tissue sagging of the face and neck
- People in suitable general health
- Skin structure and medical history are factors affecting the outcome
Recovery and Aftercare
- First days: Swelling, tenderness and a feeling of tightness may occur.
- First weeks: Incisions are intended to stay within natural folds; care is important.
- Later period: Swelling subsides and the result gradually emerges.
The return to social life varies by person and depends on the physician's advice.
Factors That Affect Face and Neck Lift Pricing
- The scope (face only, neck only or both)
- The technique used and whether additional procedures are needed
- The person's individual needs
These factors are evaluated during examination.
