Who would benefit from a neck and facelift procedure?

Substantial weight loss or the natural ageing process sees smile lines deepen, the corner of the mouth droop, the jawline sag, and slackening of the neck skin. People also experience eyebrow droop, and wrinkles forming around the lips, outer corners of the eye and expression lines. This form of treatment is best suited to anyone who wants an anti-ageing procedure to tighten loose skin and remove wrinkles. Most patients who undergo this type of facelift and neck lift procedure are in their 40s – 60s, but can be performed on almost any age group.

What is involved in a neck lift and facelift

A facelift involves repositioning the skin and soft tissue on the face. This is achieved by making incisions on both sides of the face in front of the ear which extends up along the hairline, then around behind the earlobe. Sometimes the surgeon may need to make a small incision under the chin for the neck lift side of this surgery. Depending on what procedure is right for you after your consultation, you may only require either a neck or facelift.
