This procedure can leave you looking revitalized and refreshed, boosting your confidence to ensure you're always presenting your best self.

Ideal Candidates for Face and Neck Lifts

The best candidates for a face and neck lift are men and women experiencing noticeable signs of aging in the lower face, such as sagging skin and loss of firmness. While there is no specific age ideal for a facelift, optimal results are typically seen in individuals aged 40 to 60 who still possess good skin quality and elasticity. It's crucial to be in overall good health and have realistic expectations about the results.

Comprehensive Approach for Enhanced Results

While a face and/or neck lift delivers impressive outcomes, it's essential to note that the procedure primarily targets the lower face and does not address upper facial concerns like crow's feet or droopy eyes. For a holistic result, Dr. Nichols may recommend combining the lift with upper facial cosmetic surgeries like eyelid surgery or a brow lift. Additional nonsurgical treatments such as BOTOX® or laser resurfacing can also help extend the results post-surgery.

Personalized Surgical Approach

The approach to each face and neck lift is customized based on the patient's specific needs and expectations. During your consultation, Dr. Nichols will outline the procedure, from surgery through recovery.

Surgical Technique and Recovery

Incisions for a face and neck lift are strategically placed behind the ear and within the hairline for discretion post-healing. Dr. Nichols tightens the soft tissue and muscular layers before removing excess skin. If a neck lift is also beneficial, a small incision below the chin allows for the tightening of neck and jawline skin, often combined with liposuction for enhanced results.

Patients typically return home the same day as the surgery, performed in our outpatient surgery suite under IV sedation. A facial support bandage is recommended for the first week to aid in swelling reduction and comfort. Within two weeks, most patients can resume their daily routines, with their rejuvenated appearance discreetly blending in.

The Visible Benefits Post-Face and Neck Lift

Immediately after the procedure, you'll notice a significant improvement in your appearance. Issues like hanging jowls or loose skin become a thing of the past, with a firmer look, improved texture, and minimized deep wrinkles.
