Neck Lift vs. Facelift: What is Right for Me?

Are you starting to notice sagging skin around your face, jawline, and neck?

Do you have moderate to severe facial wrinkles?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, you may be a good candidate for a neck lift or a facelift (or even both). Let’s take a closer look at all of these procedures, including how to tell if a neck lift or facelift is right for you!

You May Need a Neck Lift If…

You have sagging skin around the neck that makes you look older than you actually are.

Neck Lift surgery works to improve sagging skin and bands found around the neck. Sagging skin around the neck can cause embarrassment and can add years to your appearance.

Neck Lift surgery will help to support and tighten the muscles surrounding the neck to not only reduce sagging skin, but also rejuvenate your appearance.

You May Need a Facelift If…

Your skin is starting to loosen or you’re noticing moderate wrinkles around your cheeks, eyes, and mouth.

A facelift aims to restore the youthful features of the face by reversing sagging cheeks, drooping eyes, and unwanted lines that can develop as we age. These early signs of aging can significantly impact appearance and make people look older than they truly are.

Should You Get a Facelift and Neck Lift?

Did you know that you can get both procedures at the same time?

In fact, this may be the best option for you if your plastic surgeon thinks you’ll get the most natural results by targeting sagging skin on both your face and neck. By taking this approach, your results can include:

  • Smoother, more revitalized skin
  • Less fat around the neck and jawline
  • Minimized wrinkles and fine lines
  • Improved skin laxity
  • And more

The best candidates for the combined approach are those individuals who have poor skin laxity and are bothered by sagging skin on the face and neck. Your neck and facelift procedure may also include liposuction to help highlight your newfound results.
