Facelift and neck lift work

  • Traditional facelift. Tightens facial muscles, removes sagging skin, and redistributes or removes fat with liposuction; incision from the temple hairline around the ear into the lower scalp (facelift).
  • Direct neck lift. Vertical scar in the neck only; direct fat removal and neck muscle tightening; the page states faster recovery than a traditional facelift.
  • Recovery, as the site states it. Help at home for 24 to 48 hours; swelling and bruising from a few days to a few weeks; return to work within one to two weeks; significant results within six months, with changes for up to a year.
  • Gallery. The face gallery shows rhinoplasty cases only (face gallery); no facelift or neck lift photos found.
  • No prices published.

Other facial procedures
