Improvement of neck with facelift?

Hello, hope you are well. This is a great question with a simple answer: yes! The neck can be lifted through the same incisions as your facelift.

Yes, absolutely! A deep plane face and neck lift is a great option for improving your neck and jawline without the need for liposuction. This technique can deliver natural, long-lasting results by addressing both the face and neck in one procedure.
Here’s how a standard facelift compares to a deep plane face & neck lift:
■STANDARD FACELIFT: This mainly focuses on tightening the skin and possibly some light repositioning of the underlying tissues. While it can be effective for mild to moderate sagging, it doesn’t go as deep, so the results might not last as long or look as natural over time.
■DEEP PLANE FACE & NECK Lift: This technique lifts and repositions the deeper tissues, like the SMAS layer, which holds the structure of your face. It provides a more comprehensive lift, targeting the cheeks, jawline, and neck. The incisions are placed around the ears and hairline for minimal visibility, and for the neck, a small incision under the chin is often used to tighten neck muscles directly.
This approach creates a smooth, youthful appearance for both the face and neck and ensures they age in harmony.
It’s important to note that every surgeon has their own techniques and style. I’d recommend researching experienced surgeons and discussing your goals with them to ensure you find the right fit. Let me know if you have more questions—I’m here to help!

Hi. Thank you for sharing your inquiry.
First, I’d like to mention that surgical diagnoses are typically based on the patient’s symptoms.
If your main concern is the neck, it’s essential to evaluate it from two perspectives: sagging and bulky volume under the chin. A Deep Neck Lift might be an effective option for you, and in some cases, Submentoplasty may be necessary to achieve optimal results.
When performing a Facelift and Neck Lift, there are overlapping incision areas. With a Neck Lift, the incision extends slightly further behind the ear to address neck sagging and create a smoother jawline. This allows for a more defined and slimmer appearance of the face.
For this reason, many patients choose to combine a Neck Lift with a Facelift to achieve comprehensive and harmonious results. The combination not only improves facial contours but also provides a more balanced and rejuvenated overall look.
For a more accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, I highly recommend an in-person consultation with a specialist.
I hope this response provides some insight
Thank you.
