Two of the most effective procedures for creating a youthful appearance are facelift and neck lift surgeries. Both procedures can dramatically reduce the visual signs of aging on the neck, face, and décolletage areas. Either procedure can provide instantaneous improvement to weak muscles and saggy skin around the face and neck.
According to multiple studies, patients who opt for face lift surgery will appear an average of 6 to 8 years younger post-surgery, and those who undergo neck lift surgery will typically see 10 to 15 years’ worth of aging reversed. It’s important to note that these two procedures are often performed in combination, yielding more significant benefits than either procedure will provide on its own.
Each of these cosmetic procedures share similar degrees of invasiveness as well as timelines for recovery. Both a facelift in Lincoln Park and a neck lift surgery have the potential to produce long-lasting results, provided the patient meticulously follows all aftercare instructions provided by their surgeon. It’s also beneficial to lead a healthy lifestyle post-procedure to facilitate the healing process as well as maintain the skin’s youthful appearance.
When your plastic surgeon discusses a facelift procedure, it’s usually in reference to a procedure that involves pulling the skin up at the cheeks towards the forehead. Although there are various types of facelift surgeries, the incisions are usually made in front of the ear. The procedure focuses on improving the lower portion of the face from the cheeks to the jawline – by correcting sagging skin and reducing wrinkles.
In contrast to a facelift procedure, neck lift surgery focuses on the area of the jowls and the jawline – and corrects draping skin on the front of the throat. Incisions are usually made behind the ears and below the chin, where they are effectively hidden. The neck lift can take years off of your appearance and is often combined with a facelift in Lincoln Park.
Signs of aging are inevitable for all of us. This gradual process involves the loss of volume from your face as your skin becomes thinner and facial fat decreases. Chances are that if you’re considering either procedure, you’re noticing signs of aging you wish weren’t there. Maybe you’ve already tried other anti-aging options and are looking to put your worries behind you. Our neck and facelifts in Lincoln Park provide unique benefits that make them an ideal solution for many people:
Unlike other treatments which can effectively manage one or two specific signs of aging, face and neck lifts resolve many different issues at once.
Skin that has lost its elasticity may hang from the jaw, resulting in a double chin or jowls. A facelift can help define your jaw and return a bold, youthful appearance.
Your face is probably the last place you want to see unsightly surgical scars. We carefully select locations for your incisions which will not only deliver the best results, but be easily concealed. Incisions for facelifts and neck lifts are typically tucked behind the ears or along the hairline.
If you’re considering another procedure, such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery, you may be able to pair it with a facelift or neck lift. Combining procedures helps patients get consistent, clock-rewinding results across their face and neck. This also allows for a single recovery process, leading to less overall downtime.
Many people decide against a facelift because they are afraid to look overdone, not realizing that the days of ‘wind tunnel’ face and neck lifts are in the past. Modern face and neck lifts provide natural-looking results that draw attention to you for all the right reasons.
In addition to eyelid surgery, our professional staff can also suggest other options that can help create a more youthful appearance. Whether you want a cheek lift that will help eliminate wrinkles and other sagging skin or a full facelift or neck lift, we can help you transform your face back in time.
We may also suggest alternatives to a facelift in Lincoln Park, depending on your unique facial aging characteristics. No matter what type of treatment you choose, you can trust our dedicated team to help you achieve a more youthful appearance and exceptional results. Call and book a consultation today!
While the range of time varies, most people will have youthful-looking results lasting seven to ten years. The length of time that your face or neck lift will last depends on a variety of factors, including how well you take care of your skin following the procedure, genetics, and personal habits.
Many people seek face or neck lifts to rectify an issue that’s been bothering them for some time. If you feel like signs of aging are keeping you from feeling your most confident, a face or neck lift may be a good option. Making a decision about what type of procedure will give you the results you want can be difficult without input from an expert.
