FACELIFT & NECK LIFT

Facelift surgery (also called rhytidectomy) is a procedure to freshen up and produce a more youthful appearance to your face. Neck Lift surgery (also called platysmaplasty) is a procedure that tightens the skin around the neck. Both these procedures are often done at the same time. These procedures reverse the signs of facial aging by removing excess skin and repositioning the underlying fat and muscles to produce a more youthful appearance. This procedure can be combined with fat transfer using your own fat from elsewhere to treat facial volume loss due to ageing.

Facelift & neck lift surgery are procedures that are used to treat wrinkles, sagging skin in the face, as well as loose skin or a double chin appearance in the neck.

Most people who seek facelift surgery would like to reverse the signs of ageing by removing excessive sagging skin, treating lines, wrinkles and restoring lost volume in the face. Neck Lift surgery, which is usually combined with facelift surgery is used to tighten sagging neck skin. Neck Lift surgery may also be combined with liposuction to treat the ‘double chin’ appearance. These procedures are also done on patients who have excessive skin following weight loss.

There are a range of techniques involved in facelift/necklift surgery, and this can be customized based on your individual concerns:

• Full facelift – this is the most comprehensive facial rejuvenation procedure, treating the full face down to the neck.
• Mini facelift – this procedure is also called the ‘short scar’ facelift and utilises a smaller incision to focus on the lower third of the face. It is recommended for younger patients with a smaller degree of sagging skin.
• Autologous fat transfer – this is a procedure which involves removing fat from one area of your body and using it to treat volume loss in the face. This is an increasingly popular treatment for restoring volume, reversing the signs of ageing in the face or enhancing facial features. Fat transfer can be combined with a facelift or done on its own.
• Neck Lift – this procedure tightens loose skin in the neck and treats muscle (platysmal) bands in the neck. This is usually done in combination with a facelift.
• Liposuction – this procedure can be used to remove excessive fat in the neck and to treat the ‘double chin’ appearance.
