Face and Neck Lift Procedures

Full Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

This procedure addresses the entire face and neck. Incisions are usually made around the ears and hairline, removing unwanted fat and tightening the skin.

Mini Facelift

This is a less invasive procedure to tighten sagging skin in the lower face and jawline. A mini facelift uses shorter incisions and is performed under local anesthesia.

Deep Plane Facelift

This is an advanced surgical technique that repositions underlying facial muscles and fat for long-lasting, natural results.

SMAS Facelift

This technique lifts the superficial musculo aponeurotic system (SMAS), a layer of tissue covering the muscles and bones in your face, producing natural-looking results.

Midface Lift

This procedure targets the area between the eyes and the mouth to fill in the undereye area, lift sagging checks and reduce nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth).

Ponytail Lift

This is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions hidden in the hair to give you a more lifted, youthful look.

Neck Lift and Contouring

This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the neck for a smoother, firmer appearance.

Direct Neck Lift

This procedure removes excess skin and fat through a vertical incision at the front of the neck to reduce severe skin laxity that can be seen in older individuals.
