Weight fluctuation, genetics, and age can all play a part in the development of the loose, sagging skin around the jaw and neckline. As we age, our bodies begin to produce less and less structural proteins like collagen and elastin, causing the skin to sag and accumulate in certain places on the face, neck, and around the eyes. For this reason, many people find themselves considering a neck lift to help tighten and restore a youthful contour to the neck. While a neck lift works great as a standalone treatment, a more balanced, natural looking result can be achieved when combined with other popular procedures.
At Faces, PLLC in Ridgeland, Mississippi, our board-certified plastic surgeon notes the following three procedures to be the most beneficial to combine with your neck lift.
Facelift
Facelift surgery will help address sagging facial muscles, facial volume loss, and excess skin. A facelift requires supporting and repositioning the underlying muscles to a youthful position. At Faces, PLLC, our desire is never to make you look unnatural or “overdone” — we prevent this by studying pictures of you and attempting to restore your more youthful characteristics. The goal is always to manage the natural signs of aging, while preserving and enhancing your natural beauty.
Eyelid Surgery
Sagging skin from the inevitable aging process can cause your eyes to look weak and tired. At Faces we use a surgical technique called blepharoplasty to help reawaken the way your eyelids look and enhance the natural contours of your eyes. This procedure combines excellently with a neck lift and can dramatically improve your overall appearance.
Brow Lift
Your brows emphasize your expressions and highlight your face’s best feature, the eyes. As we grow older, gravity and genetics can cause the brows and forehead to sag, more furrows to form on the forehead, and upper eyelids to droop, making us look tired and unhappy. A brow lift is frequently paired with a neck lift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation to the face.
What are the Benefits of Having More than One Procedure?
During your consultation with Dr. Jordan, a fellowship trained, double board certified facial plastic surgeon, you can collaborate on a full facial treatment plan. As long as it is safe for you to do so, there are significant benefits to having multiple procedures together instead of one at a time:
- Less overall recovery time: The downtime after a combination of procedures is less than what you would need after two separate operations.
- Convenience: Having and recovering from surgery requires a fair amount of coordination and planning, especially if children or other families depend on you. It is more convenient for you and your family members to plan for one recovery period from a solo operation than from separate surgeries.
- Cost Saving: Combining procedures can even save you money in the long run, as many of the fees associated with your surgery will only have to be paid once.
