Facelift and neck lift work

Facelift (drjasonplasticsurgery.com/service/natural-facelift-surgery/):

  • Approach: "reposition the deeper layers of the face" and use the deeper fibrous layers for support, avoiding tension on the skin.
  • The page names deep plane, high SMAS, MACS lift, lateral SMASectomy, short scar and skin-only facelifts as general options; it does not assign one technique to his practice.
  • Planned operating time kept under 8 hours when procedures are combined.
  • Surgery at the UCLA Surgery Center.

Neck lift (drjasonplasticsurgery.com/service/neck-lift-lower-rhytidectomy/):

  • Three targets: skin excess, fat fullness, platysmal bands.
  • Options: liposuction; anterior neck lift through a small incision below the chin; formal neck lift with an incision behind the ear into the scalp or hairline.
  • For men: direct neck excision (neck Z-plasty) within the beard line.
  • The page states a neck lift is usually included in a facelift.
