The procedures

Neck lift

In Galilea Montijo's words: “Neck gland removal (glándulas del cuello)”

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).

Brow lift

In Galilea Montijo's words: “Brow lift (levantamiento de ceja)”

A brow lift raises low or heavy eyebrows. In the endoscopic method the surgeon works through a few short scalp incisions with a camera, without the ear-to-ear coronal incision, and weakens the frown muscles between the brows (PMID 7972423). It was the most frequent brow lift technique in American Society of Plastic Surgeons member surveys from 2000 and 2020 (PMID 37409963).
