Face and neck lift is the procedure which tightens the skin of the face and neck to give them a younger and smoother appearance while respecting the patient’s natural features.
Why have a face and neck lift?
With age, the skin loses its elasticity and the face loses some of its volume. This causes “jowls” on the lower face, deep wrinkles and furrows, and saggy, wrinkled neck skin. Although it is part of the natural aging process, some people are upset by these signs. The face and neck lift is then the best solution to restore youthfulness to the face.
Goals
Face and neck facelifts can be performed to:
- smooth deep wrinkles and furrows
- tighten the cheeks
- lift the cheeks
- reduce jowls
- better distribute volumes
- improve and redefine the jawline
- give the face a more youthful appearance
What it cannot do
Facelift does not allow:
- to improve the quality of the skin: for this it will be combined with other techniques.
- to restore lost volumes: for this it will be associated with a lipofilling.
- to act on the eye area: for this it will be combined with a blepharoplasty.
Scar:
The cervicofacial lifting leaves a line that goes around the temporal hairline, passes over the tragus in front of the ear, bypasses the lobule, goes into the groove behind the ear then reaches the scalp to continue in the edge of the hair of neck. The scar is hidden at the skin-hair border or in natural folds. It is almost invisible after a few weeks.
