Aging is a natural process, but it can lead to noticeable changes in the face and neck. It may cause sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of definition in the jawline. For those looking to restore a youthful appearance, a facelift can offer remarkable improvements. However, combining a facelift with a neck lift can provide even more comprehensive results.
What Each Procedure Does
While a facelift primarily focuses on tightening and lifting the skin on the lower half of the face, a neck lift addresses sagging skin and excess fat around the neck.
Why Combine a Facelift and Neck Lift?
There are many reasons to consider combining the two procedures into one.
Comprehensive Rejuvenation
Many patients who seek a facelift may also experience signs of aging in the neck area. Combining both procedures can give a harmonious appearance by addressing all areas that contribute to facial aging.
Consistent Aging
The combination approach is also preferable to scheduling them separately. If you have a facelift and follow it with a neck lift several years later, your face and neck may appear to age at two different rates. By performing both procedures together, your face and neck are rejuvenated simultaneously.
Balanced Appearance
Combination surgery can create a balanced and natural look. The combination allows for smoother transitions between the face and neck. It can result in more refined and cohesive outcomes.
One Recovery
Undergoing both procedures at once means you only go through one surgery and one recovery period. Ultimately, that means far less downtime than you’d have if you scheduled the procedures separately.
Full Results Faster
Since the face and neck are treated simultaneously, patients can see the full results sooner without needing additional surgeries later on.
When our patients ask for a full-face rejuvenation, they’re often looking for an improvement in the neck area too. While the neck is sometimes initially forgotten when it comes to plastic surgery, it plays a big role in the overall youthfulness of your appearance.
