What Does a Facelift Address?
A facelift focuses on the midface, lower face, and jawline. The procedure repositions underlying tissues and removes excess skin to create a more refreshed appearance.
A facelift may help improve:
- Sagging cheeks and jawline
- Deep folds around the nose and mouth
- Jowls
- Loss of facial definition
- Loose skin in the lower face
What Does a Neck Lift Address?
A neck lift focuses on the area beneath the chin and along the neck. For some people, a neck lift alone provides the improvement they are seeking.
A neck lift may help improve:
- Loose or hanging neck skin
- Vertical neck bands
- Fullness beneath the chin
- Reduced jawline definition related to neck laxity
Are Facelifts and Neck Lifts Performed Together?
Because the face and neck age together, many people choose to combine a facelift and neck lift for more balanced rejuvenation.
In many cases, the area you would like to improve can help guide the decision:
- Facial sagging, jowls, and deeper folds often point toward a facelift.
- Loose skin, neck bands, or fullness beneath the chin are commonly addressed with a neck lift.
- Some people benefit from combining both procedures.
