Facelift and neck lift work

  • Facelift types. The practice offers full facelift (temple hairline incision around the ear), deep plane facelift (release of the retaining ligaments to mobilize the deep muscle) and mini facelift (facelift).
  • Mini facelift. Called the Next Day Lift or Weekend Lift; performed in-office under local anesthesia; most patients take a week off work (mini facelift).
  • Neck lift. Lateral platysmaplasty under general anesthesia, corset platysmaplasty through an incision below the chin, and a deep plane neck lift that releases the platysma from its ligaments (neck lift).
  • Recovery statements. Drains removed after 24 hours, then a jaw strap for 7 to 14 days; swelling and bruising peak at 3 to 4 days; sutures out on day 7; 1 to 2 weeks of downtime; most patients photo-ready by the eighth week (facelift).
  • Prices. None published; a custom quote follows consultation (facelift).
  • Galleries. The practice's galleries include cases by all four surgeons; most facelift cases name her (facelift gallery, mini facelift, neck lift). Case 281 is a patient in her early 70s at 4 weeks after extended deep plane facelift, deep plane neck lift, temporal brow lift and lip lift.
