Neck Lift and/or Lower Facelift when you have a short neck - thoughts? (photos)

In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. ​To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​​​

Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs, you are a good candidate for face and neck lift, which will tighten your skin and restore a youthful structure in your face and neck. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Based on these photos and short of in person evaluation, I think that you are a good candidate for face/neck lift; it does not appear that your neck is by any means short!. Good luck.

Your two other surgeons were correct. A facelift would help you. I usually do a deep plane but I think a SMAS lift would help your case as well. I don't understand the third surgeon's statement but a facelift is the solution.

Your age and A full set of facial and neck photographs in a chin neutral position from all angles are required to make a determination about how best to proceed. From the photographs presented, it does not appear you you are a candidate for any face/necklift procedure. Having a short neck is irrelevant and you can still undergo the procedure when necessary. The goal of a lower face and neck lift is to tighten loose facial and neck skin, tighten loose facial and neck muscles, remove fat deposits in the back, and lift the jowls.

Terminology can be very confusing. Plus reviewing your excellently posed photos I disagree with their assessments. I think you need mini Face/Neck Lift with SMAS plication combined with either HA fillers or nano fat grafting. Expect fees in the $10,000-$25,000 ranges.
