Can Endoscopic Lift Help the Jowls and Neck Area?

Question

I am considering having a endoscopic mid face lift with a mini neck lift under chin. I had a neck lift that left me with scar and lumps due to the liposuction. Will these procedures help address vertical neck bands and tighten the neck and jowls?

During your #consultation, your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure will be evaluated. Based on this evaluation, your board certified plastic surgeons will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. In doing so, he or she should be sure to have a full understanding of what results you expect. It is possible to #combine #surgeries. In fact, I commonly recommend other procedures to go accompany a facelift, such as blepharoplasty or a midface (cheek) lift, to name a few. The combination of multiple of facial procedures may create an optimal result. The best procedure approach will be discussed in greater detail during your one-on-one #consultation. I invite you to visit PacificCenterPlasticSurgery.com to view a complete list of surgeries commonly performed.

If you are not a #candidate, your surgeon can make other suggestions to address your concerns and objectives. It is extremely important to seek a board certified plastic surgeon highly trained with your desired procedures. I also encourage you to look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients. Also, reading patient reviews of those who have had combined surgeries will be beneficial. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Thank you for your question. We prefer an open procedure which allows better visibility, and an evaluation of your inner muscles and fat layer.  Muscles can be better tightened, and treated.  The downside is your get a bigger scar so there are risks to both.  I hope this helps.

Thank you for the question. In short, an endoscopic facelift (also know as an endoscopic midface lift, which is a more accurate term) will not help with your neck and jowls. This procedure is designed to reposition the cheek fat pad to give a more youthful middle third of the face.  A separate neck lift (including platysmaplasty for the vertical neck bands) would be required to address all of your concerns.

Midfacelift does not help the jowls and neck area. You would need a revision of your facelift to do that. Midface lift is for the cheek and nasolabial creases.
