As we age, the visible signs of aging, such as sagging skin and wrinkles, can become more pronounced, especially around the face and neck. At Privé Beverly Hills, Dr. Catherine S. Chang, MD, FACS, a Harvard-trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in cranio-maxillofacial aesthetics, offers both neck lift and facelift procedures. Each option is tailored to address specific concerns and help patients achieve a youthful, refreshed appearance. With her surgical precision and artistic approach, Dr. Chang ensures every patient experiences transformative yet natural-looking results.
NECK LIFT:
A Neck Lift, or platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to address the specific concerns of the neck and jawline. It is particularly effective for individuals dealing with sagging skin, prominent neck bands (caused by weakened or separated muscles), or localized fat accumulation in the neck area. This procedure tightens the skin, removes excess fat, and reshapes underlying muscles to create a smoother, more defined neck and jawline. A neck lift is ideal for those who may be relatively satisfied with the appearance of their face but feel that their neck gives away signs of aging. It’s a focused approach, making it a popular choice for patients looking for a less extensive surgical solution with a shorter recovery time than more comprehensive procedures.
FACELIFT:
A Facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a more extensive procedure aimed at rejuvenating the mid-to-lower face and sometimes the upper neck. It addresses multiple signs of aging, including sagging skin, deep creases around the nose and mouth, jowls, and loss of facial volume. During a facelift, the deeper layers of facial tissue are lifted and repositioned to restore youthful contours, and the skin is carefully redraped for a natural, refreshed appearance. While a facelift often includes elements of neck rejuvenation to ensure a seamless transition between the face and neck, its primary focus is on the face itself. This makes it a comprehensive option for patients experiencing significant aging across multiple areas of the face and neck, providing dramatic, long-lasting results.
When deciding between a neck lift and a facelift, it’s important to consider the specific areas you wish to address and your overall rejuvenation goals. At Privé Beverly Hills, Dr. Chang provides personalized consultations to thoroughly assess your needs and craft a treatment plan tailored to your unique anatomy and desired outcomes. By understanding the differences between these two procedures, you can make an informed decision about what will work best for you.
