Facelift and Neck Lift Surgery for a Younger, Fresher Look

Facelift and neck lift surgery provide a more refreshed and youthful facial appearance. A facelift or neck lift is performed to correct sagging skin before lines and wrinkles develop, which prevents the formation of visible signs of ageing. Facelift and neck lift surgeries preserve a more youthful complexion, and the results can be seen for many years. Facelift and neck lift procedures have evolved into safer and more effective methods to rejuvenate the face without the stretched look of the past.

  3. Facelift Surgery Facelift surgery is a procedure that reduces the appearance of sagging skin on the face as well as the neck. A facelift can make you look five to 10 years younger, depending on skin texture, bone structure, and heredity. Performing treatment on only parts of the ageing face can produce a disharmonious appearance, giving an unnatural or “lifted” look. All aspects of the face, including the brows, eyelids, chin, and neck, are assessed in order to maintain facial harmony. Modern techniques reshape the underlying layer of connective tissue, called the SMAS, unlike the facelift procedures of the 1970s and 1980s, which stretched only the wrinkled surface of the skin. The manipulation of the SMAS – the direction in which it is moved, the amount it is trimmed or folded and the way it is fixed in place – defines the style of each surgeon. Our surgeons most commonly utilise the Lateral SMAS-ectomy or L-lift, which produces a natural, harmonious appearance. • silkwoodmedical.com.au

  4. The Facelift Procedure • The facelift incisions are made within the hairline or within normal lines and creases in front of and behind the ear to minimise visible scarring. Any resulting scars can be concealed by the hair and with the use of makeup. Some facelift variations result in no visible scarring because the incisions are placed within the hair or inside the mouth. Most facelift procedures are performed under general anaesthesia. However, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s request, local anaesthesia combined with a sedative can be administered by an experienced anaesthetist. • silkwoodmedical.com.au

  5. Recovery from Facelift Surgery You should be up and about in a day or two, but plan on taking it easy for the first week after surgery. Most people are back at work about two weeks after surgery. Many patients report a sense of tightness or numbness of the face and neck for a few days after surgery. The intensity of these feelings and how long they last varies according to the individual and the extent of the procedure. • silkwoodmedical.com.au

  6. Neck Lift Surgery In most facelift procedures, the neck, jaw, and jowls are part of the surgery. However, some patients want only their necks to be treated. A neck lift is designed to improve the appearance of loose skin on the neck (what is commonly known as “turkey neck”) as well as the common problem of platysma bands (vertical muscle bands in the neck). • silkwoodmedical.com.au

  7. The Neck Lift Procedure Incisions for the neck lift procedure are made in the crease under the chin and behind the ear. The skin is lifted away from the underlying muscles and, if necessary, any extra fat is removed using liposuction. The muscles are usually joined in the midline. It is also possible to join the muscles in the midline and put a stitch through from ear to ear, depending on how tight the patient wants their neck to be. This surgery is most commonly performed under general anaesthesia as a day procedure. Local anaesthesia combined with a sedative, administered by an experienced anaesthetist, may be selected. For younger people who require less work, the procedure may be performed in the office. • silkwoodmedical.com.au

  8. Recovery from Neck Lift Surgery You will be required to wear a chin strap for a week after neck lift surgery and drains are removed after three to four days. Swelling and bruising is minimal and any post-procedural pain can be relieved with medication. Stitches can be removed after a week and you can usually return to work after 10 days. • silkwoodmedical.com.au
