Face and Neck Lift

Aging is a natural process for all living beings, and its most visible effects appear on the face and neck. Over time, changes such as:
• Under-eye bags
• Sagging of the cheeks and jawline
• Loosening of the neck skin
• Deepening of the nasolabial folds
• Loss of subcutaneous fat

become more noticeable.

Mild to moderate signs of aging can sometimes be managed with non-surgical treatments. However, advanced skin laxity and tissue sagging require surgical intervention to achieve effective and long-lasting results.

Face Lift Surgery

Face lift surgery aims to restore a youthful appearance by removing excess sagging skin and repositioning the deeper supporting tissues of the face. The goal is not simply to tighten the skin, but to achieve natural rejuvenation while preserving facial anatomy and expression.

During the procedure:
• Incisions usually begin within the hairline
• Continue in front of the ear
• And may extend behind the ear when necessary

The underlying support layer of the face, known as the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), is tightened with sutures to restore lost firmness and redefine facial contours. Excess skin is then removed, and the skin is redraped into its new position.

The surgery typically lasts around 4 hours. Hospital stay is usually 1–2 days.

Because the incisions are placed along natural facial borders and within the hairline, scars generally become well concealed over time. Swelling and bruising may occur in the early postoperative period and usually improve significantly within 4–7 days. A supportive elastic facial bandage is recommended until swelling subsides.

Combined Procedures

Depending on the patient’s condition and overall surgical plan, additional procedures such as:
• Eyelid surgery
• Rhinoplasty

may be safely performed during the same surgical session. Combining procedures can be advantageous, as it allows recovery to take place in a single healing period.
⸻
Possible Risks and Complications

As with any surgical procedure, face lift surgery carries certain risks, although they are uncommon. These may include:
• Bleeding or hematoma
• Temporary or permanent sensory changes
• Delayed wound healing
• Scar thickening or keloid formation
• Temporary or, rarely, permanent weakness of facial movements due to facial nerve involvement

With proper patient selection and surgery performed by an experienced surgeon, these risks are minimized.

Long-Term Results

A face lift does not stop the aging process; however, it effectively turns back the clock. Over time, mild sagging may reappear due to gravity and natural aging. These changes can usually be managed successfully with non-surgical treatments.

For patients with significant facial sagging who desire a refreshed and youthful appearance, face lift surgery is a highly effective procedure with long-lasting and satisfying results.

⸻
Midface Lift

A midface lift can be performed through incisions along the lower eyelid lash line or within the hairline, depending on individual needs. This procedure is particularly suitable for younger patients with sagging in the cheek (malar) area and helps restore midface volume and contour.

⸻
Neck Lift
Neck lift surgery is most commonly performed in combination with a face lift. Surgical access to the neck is achieved through:
• Incisions behind the ears and along the hairline
• A small incision under the chin when necessary

During the procedure:
• Excess fat in the submental (double chin) area is removed
• Loosened neck muscles are tightened with sutures
• Sagging skin is excised to redefine the neck contour

In patients with significant fatty tissue in the neck, liposuction may be added.

A neck compression garment is typically worn for 4 weeks after surgery. Swelling and bruising may take several weeks to fully resolve.
