A face and neck lift restores firmness, definition, and youthful contours by addressing loose skin, sagging muscles, and deep wrinkles. Over time, aging, gravity, and lifestyle factors can cause the skin to lose elasticity, leading to jowls, deep folds, and excess skin around the lower face and neck. This procedure lifts and tightens these areas, helping you look refreshed, not overdone.
Why Consider a Face and Neck Lift?
A face & neck lift can help:
✔️ Restore definition to the jawline and cheeks.
✔️ Smooth deep wrinkles and sagging skin.
✔️ Remove excess skin and fat around the neck.
✔️ Tighten underlying muscles for long-lasting results.
✔️ Provide a natural, refreshed appearancethat lasts 10+ years.
These procedures can be performed alone or together, depending on your needs, and can also be combined with a brow lift, eyelid lift, or facial fillers for a comprehensive rejuvenation.
