What Is a Lower Face and Neck Lift?

A lower face and neck lift is a rejuvenating surgery that effectively improves your lower face and neck by eliminating excess fat and skin tissue while tightening the underlying muscles.

Combining a facelift with a neck lift provides the most optimal outcome for an all-encompassing renewal of lower facial aesthetics.

What Can Lower Face and Neck Lift Accomplish?

A lower face and neck lift is a surgical cosmetic procedure that addresses signs of aging in the lower face and neck area, including:

Deep creases in the face, such as around the nose and mouth
Excess fat and skin laxity along the jawline (jowls)
Loose or wrinkled neck skin that causes a “turkey neck” effect
Extra fullness that causes a “double chin”
Vertical muscle banding
A worn-out, tired look

Am I a Candidate for Lower Face and Neck Lift?

If your lower face and neck show signs of aging more noticeably than the rest of the face, you may be a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Ideal candidates must be:

In good health
Non-smokers
Realistic in their expectations about the procedure’s results

It’s essential to schedule a consultation with an experienced board-certified cosmetic surgeon if you’re considering a lower face and neck lift. During your private consultation, Dr. Tolomeo will evaluate your medical history and cosmetic needs and determine if you qualify for the procedure.

Why Should I Choose Dr. Tolomeo for My Lower Face and Neck Lift in Fall River, MA?

Dr. Pasquale Tolomeo is a triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon with extensive cosmetic, facial, and maxillofacial surgery expertise. He has helped countless patients achieve their desired natural-looking results using the safest and most advanced techniques.

With a compassionate and patient-focused approach, he takes the time to listen to each patient’s concerns, answer their questions, and tailor his techniques to their specific needs. You can trust that you’ll receive the best possible outcome with the individualized attention and support you deserve.

How Is the Lower Face and Neck Lift Performed?

A lower face and neck lift is completed as an outpatient procedure utilizing general anesthesia. Dr. Tolomeo employs a highly tailored approach to the surgery. Depending on specific aesthetic needs, inconspicuous incisions are placed along the natural contours around the ears, behind the earlobes, and under the chin (to access the neck).

From these access points, excess skin is trimmed, neck fat is removed, and the underlying muscles are repositioned and tightened. Facial fat may be repositioned or added (through facial fat transfer) to fill hollowed areas. The skin is then redraped over the new facial contours for a more defined and youthful jawline and neck appearance.

Should a Lower Face and Neck Lift Be Performed With Other Cosmetic Surgeries?

Because a lower face and neck lift does not address the upper face, many patients combine this procedure with upper and lower blepharoplasty to ensure a harmonious facial appearance. Additionally, some patients choose to include a facial implant, such as a cheek or chin implant, to better balance the face.

What Is Lower Face and Neck Lift Recovery Like?

Recovery time varies depending on a patient’s treatment plan and their rate of healing. It’s typical to experience numbness, swelling, and bruising in the treated regions, along with a sensation of tightness in the neck that may take some time to completely resolve.

To minimize swelling and discomfort, apply ice packs and keep your head elevated for the first few days after surgery. Pain and discomfort can be managed with medication as well.

A vast majority of patients can return to work and other activities within one to three weeks. Heavy lifting or undertaking strenuous activities should be restricted for at least three to six weeks after surgery or until Dr. Tolomeo gives the go-ahead.

Dr. Tolomeo will provide detailed aftercare guidelines and keep track of your recovery progress through scheduled follow-up visits. As the swelling and bruising subside in the next few weeks, your results will gradually become more apparent.

What Results Can I Expect From a Lower Face and Neck Lift?

Patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed look that addresses the sagging skin and muscle bands in the neck, as well as the deep wrinkles and folds in the face. With a healthy lifestyle, you can maintain your results for years.
