If I have an upper & lower facelift (inc. neck) as separate procedures, is this the same as a full facelift?

A modern deep plane Facelift is a cheek, jawline, and neck repositioning. This includes incisions around your ears and hairline, and incision under the chin, with elevation and repositioning of the SMAS, and tightening of the platysma muscle. Ask your Surgeon to be specific with you and show you at least 20 examples of work hat he/she has performed. Not every Surgeon performs a lot of facelifts.

Hi,
It does not make sense to separate the procedures. A well executed deep plane facelift yields very natural results and when the face and neck are performed together, there is only need for 1 recovery phase. In certain instances, a necklift can be performed first and eventually a facelift can be done at a later time.

Best,
MS
