Facelift and Neck Lift
Mini, standard and deep plane facelift
Contrary to popular belief, a modern facelift does not simply pull the skin tighter. The deeper support layer of the face known as the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is repositioned to create natural and longer-lasting results.
A facelift can improve sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jowls along the jawline, loss of facial definition and loose skin of the lower face.
A neck lift is often performed together with a facelift and addresses loose neck skin, turkey neck deformity, vertical neck bands, double chin, loss of jawline definition and excess neck fat. It restores a smoother transition between the face and neck, creating a sharper and more youthful profile.
Facial aging occurs through several mechanisms: skin laxity as collagen and elastin decline; volume loss as fat compartments shrink and descend; gravity drawing soft tissues downward; muscle changes creating visible neck bands; and bone remodeling as facial skeletal support diminishes.
