Facial Rejuvenation

Facelift and Neck Lift: The Ultimate Guide to Facial Rejuvenation

Facelift and neck lift surgeries are among the most effective procedures for rejuvenating the face, jawline, and neck. These surgeries deliver transformative results, with scars carefully hidden along natural skin tension lines, making them nearly invisible once healed.

What Does a Facelift Address?

A facelift targets key signs of aging, including:

• Drooping cheeks

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

• Jowls

• Sagging jawline

There are several facelift techniques tailored to individual needs:

• Mini Facelift: Ideal for minimal sagging in the mid-face, jowls, or lower face skin. This technique uses shorter incisions that don’t extend behind the ear.

• Mid-Facelift: Focuses on lifting sagging cheeks, with incisions typically placed behind the hairline or inside the mouth.

• Deep Plane Facelift: Targets the SMAS layer (beneath the skin) for the most natural and long-lasting results.

What Does a Neck Lift Address?

A neck lift restores a sharp, youthful neck and jawline by addressing:

• Loose neck skin

• Submental fat (double chin)

• Muscle laxity or hypertrophy

• Ptotic submandibular glands (sagging salivary glands)

Combining a facelift with a neck lift often provides the most harmonious and comprehensive rejuvenation.

eLift: The Future of Minimally Invasive Face and Neck Lifting

eLift is Dr. Han Hoang's proprietary, cutting-edge, minimally invasive full face and neck lifting technique that combines advanced Renuvion J-Plasma skin tightening technology with a minimal incision deep plane lifting approach. This innovative procedure offers the same long-lasting results as a traditional deep plane facelift but with significantly less scarring and a faster recovery time. By targeting both skin laxity and deeper facial structures, eLift delivers natural, youthful results with reduced downtime, making it an ideal choice for those seeking powerful rejuvenation without the extended healing period of traditional surgery.

Who is a Good Candidate for Facelift and Neck Lift?

The best candidates are healthy individuals with realistic expectations. However, smoking is a contraindication due to its impact on healing. Surgery is only recommended for non-smokers or those who have quit smoking for at least one month prior.

How is Facelift Surgery Performed?

Most type of Facelift and neck lift surgeries can be performed under local anesthesia with mild to moderate sedation.

• Mini Facelift: Best for mild sagging without significant neck skin laxity.

• Neck Lift: Focuses on tightening the neck and addressing an obtuse neck angle.

After surgery, patients typically wear a compressive face and neck dressing for one week.

Recovery After Facelift and Neck Lift

Recovery takes about 3-4 weeks, with the following timeline:

• First week: Bruising, swelling, and tightness are most noticeable.

• Weeks 2-4: Swelling subsides, and normal activities gradually resume.

Sleeping upright can help reduce swelling and discomfort. While the procedure isn’t typically painful, patients may experience tightness and mild discomfort during the first week.

Complementary Procedures for Enhanced Results

To achieve a balanced, youthful appearance, additional procedures may be combined with a facelift and neck lift:

1. Fat Transfer: Restores lost facial volume due to aging. Common areas include the temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips, and jawline. Fat transfer is minimally invasive and can contour the face for a natural, sculpted look.

2. Skin Resurfacing: Treats the skin’s surface to improve texture and tone. Methods include chemical peels, fractional lasers, dermabrasion, and J-plasma with Renuvion. When combined with fat transfer, healing is often faster due to growth factors in fat cells.

3. Brow Lift: Rejuvenates the upper third of the face by reducing forehead lines, lifting sagging brows, and opening up the upper eyelids. It can also shorten the forehead when combined with hairline reduction.

4. Eyelid Surgery: Addresses drooping upper eyelids or puffy lower eyelids for a refreshed look.

Why Combine Procedures?

Combining procedures like a facelift, neck lift, fat transfer, and skin resurfacing ensures a harmonious, natural-looking result. Each patient’s treatment plan is customized to their unique goals and aging concerns.
