Face and neck lifting is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin and soft tissues of the face and neck to improve their appearance. It aims to remove signs of aging, such as wrinkles, creases, and sagging skin.
The face and neck lift procedure typically involves making incisions in the forehead, behind the ears, and at the back of the head. The skin and soft tissues are then lifted, tightened, and repositioned.
Fat may also be removed or muscles tightened, as needed.
Face and neck lift surgery typically takes 3 to 5 hours under general anesthesia. Patients can return home the same day or the day after.
Patients can expect some swelling and bruising after face-lift surgery. These symptoms typically subside within 2 to 3 weeks.
The effects of face and neck lift surgery can last for 10 years or more. However, the natural aging process will continue, and further procedures may be needed in the future.
