Can; I get a Neck Lift without getting a Face Lift or do they have to be done at the same time?

Essentially a traditional facelift or mini-lift will improve your upper neck. If you have neck bands or a large turkey gobble neck problem then additional neck procedures are added.Recommendations to Improve your neck appearance depends on your exam - Your plastic surgeon will evaluate you for four main features:1.Amount of excess fat (needs lipo or direct removal).2.Presence of Significant Platysmal Banding (requires playsmaplasy or Botox)3.Amount of excess Skin and condition of your skin. For example younger age, darker skin colors and no large weight loss history means there will be better elasticity and therefore better post surgical contraction. In milder cases if not too much fat is present there will be enough skin shrinkage with just lipo alone. However for moderate and severe skin redundancy a neck lift or lower facelift is needed with or without lipo for best results. Mild to minimal skin tightening using non surgical means like the Sciton Laser SkinTyte procedure, Ultherapy or Thermage could also be considered.4. Chin deficiency (without adequate chin support your neckline will suffer)When these procedures are performed by a board certified plastic surgeon the risk of nerve damage is uncommon.In your particular case, though an exam is needed for confirmation, based on your photo is a Lite Lift or MACS lift with or without a platysmaplasty procedure.Lasers such as the Sciton BBL SkinTyte, or even IPL afterwards could be used for maintenance of your results.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​ Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
