The procedures

Facelift

In Amanda Lovett's words: “Neck and lower facelift”

A facelift lifts the skin and the SMAS layer of the cheek, jowl and jawline and removes loose skin through incisions around the ear. In a deep-plane facelift the skin, fat and SMAS move as one flap after the ligaments that hold the cheek down are released (PMID 2359803). The method dates to Hamra's 1990 paper and is now the facelift most used by surveyed facial plastic surgeons; head-to-head evidence of longer-lasting results is limited (PMID 41251721, PMID 41100833).

Neck lift

In Amanda Lovett's words: “Neck and lower facelift”

A neck lift tightens the platysma muscle and removes fat and skin under the chin and along the jawline. A deep neck lift also treats the structures under the platysma: deep fat, the digastric muscles and the submandibular glands (PMID 33543747). Surgeons add it when a neck stays full after skin and muscle tightening alone (PMID 36563673).
