As we age, the skin gradually loses its elasticity and the deeper tissues of the face and neck begin to loosen. This can lead to sagging cheeks, jowls, deeper folds around the mouth, loss of a defined jawline and loose skin around the neck.

FACE LIFT (Rhytidectomy)

A face lift (rhytidectomy) primarily addresses sagging of the cheeks, lower face and jawline. During surgery, the underlying facial tissues are repositioned and tightened, and excess skin is carefully removed.The incisions are carefully placed around the ears and, when required, within the hairline so that the resulting scars are designed to be as inconspicuous as possible.It can help improve:

* Sagging cheeks and lower face

* Jowls along the jawline

* Deepening folds around the mouth and nose

* Loss of facial definition

* Loose or lax facial skin

NECK LIFT

A neck lift focuses on loose skin and lax tissues of the neck. It can improve a poorly defined jawline, loose neck skin and the appearance of vertical neck bands or a “double chin” caused by skin and tissue laxity. Depending on the individual, neck lifting may be combined with tightening of the underlying neck muscle, removal of excess fat and gland (where appropriate).

Face Lift + Neck Lift

For many patients, the face and neck age together. Combining the procedures can create better overall harmony between the lower face, jawline and neck. The exact procedure is customised according to your skin quality, degree of sagging, facial structure, neck anatomy and aesthetic goals. Some swelling, bruising and tightness are expected after surgery. These gradually settle over the following weeks, while the final result continues to mature over several months. Recovery varies from person to person.

A personalised consultation is important to determine whether a face lift, neck lift, or a combination of procedures is appropriate for you.
