A
facelift neck lift plastic surgery is an operation that elevates and redrapes the facial skin and
muscles to eliminate laxity and sagging. Time and gravity take their toll.
Tissues lose their youthful tone and sag, the neck sags and becomes flabby
(also called a turkey neck or turkey wattle), laugh lines or nasolabial
folds deepen, and jowls appear. A face lift can't stop this aging process.
What it can do is "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs
of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping
the skin of your face and neck, thereby removing jowls and tightening
a flabby neck or turkey neck. A facelift - necklift can be done alone,
or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid
surgery, or nose reshaping. The procedure does not address fine aging
lines on the lips or cheeks which are more effectively treated with botox,
chemical peel, dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. It does
however diminish nasolabial folds or laugh lines as can be seen in this
patient's photos.

This patient also
had marked loss of facial fat especially in the temple, lower eyelid-cheek
margin and cheek areas. By taking liposuction fat from the abdominal area
and performing fat grafting or fat transfer to the deficit areas of the
face the overall result of the facelift is greatly enhanced. She looks
naturally younger without an overdone look.

expectations are important to be happy with any surgery. As each patient
is an individual, different results can be expected in each patient.
