Facelift and neck lift work

• Facelift. General anesthesia by board-certified anesthesiologists in an accredited facility; the underlying support structure of the mid-to-lower face is lifted and repositioned, the neck restructured, and excess skin removed; incisions in the ear folds, under the chin and at the hairline behind the ear; fat from liposuction used as filler (facelift).
• Facelift recovery, as printed. Outpatient; swelling and bruising the first week; return to work at two weeks; no full activity or exercise for three to four weeks; final healing two to six months (facelift).
• Mini facelift. Shorter incisions near the ears for the lower face and jawline; compression bandage for one day; sutures out in about a week; 4 weeks before travel or running (mini facelift).
• Neck. Options: neck liposuction; isolated neck surgery to tighten neck muscles and remove fat through a single incision under the chin; chin implants (neck lift).
• Prices. None published; the facelift FAQ says quotes are all-inclusive package prices.
• Galleries. Facelift. No separate neck lift gallery.
