Neck Lift and Neck Rejuvenation
The neck is not understood in isolation from the face.
Otolaryngologist · Facial plastic surgeon · More than 35 years devoted to the face
Aging of the neck can involve the skin, the fat, the muscles, a loss of definition along the jawline and changes in the angle between the chin and the neck. That is why the neck is not assessed as an isolated structure, but in its relationship with the jaw and the lower third of the face.
Continuity
The face, jaw and neck are read together.
A neck may look aged because of the skin, the fat beneath the chin, the muscles or the loss of the jawline —and often because of several of these factors at once. Determining which one truly explains the change is what defines the level of intervention that is indicated, and whether it is best to treat the neck alone or together with the face.
What it can address
Definition, continuity and neck proportion.
Depending on each patient's anatomy, and when it is indicated, a neck lift can address:
- Laxity of the skin of the neck.
- Fat and muscular bands beneath the chin.
- Loss of definition along the jawline.
- Changes in the angle between the chin and the neck.
A good neck surgery does not seek visible tension. It seeks to restore the continuity between the face, the jaw and the neck.
Face and neck
Often, a single decision.
Because the lower third of the face and the neck age in a related way, in many cases they are assessed and treated together. In others, the neck can be addressed more specifically. The strategy is defined after the evaluation. Learn about the facelift →
The decision
When it makes sense, and when it does not.
May be a candidate
- Cervical laxity and loss of jawline definition.
- Changes that no longer respond to surface treatments.
- Good general health and realistic expectations.
- A wish for a natural result, without a tight appearance.
When not to operate
- When the change is explained by other factors treatable without surgery.
- When it is wiser to address the lower third of the face first.
- When a non-surgical approach may be enough.
- When the expectation does not match what surgery can offer.
Recovery
Care throughout the process.
Recovery varies with the technique and with each patient. The timelines, the care and the follow-up visits are explained individually before surgery and are accompanied throughout the course.
Risks
Explained, not minimized.
Every cervical surgery carries risks, limitations and possible complications. Specific information is part of the evaluation and the informed-consent process.
Clinical cases
Continuity can be seen in every face.
A selection of clinical cases and their outcomes.
Clinical criterion
The neck, within the architecture of the face.
In Aesthetic Integrity™, the neck is not treated as an independent area but as the continuity of the face. Structural diagnosis, proportion, preservation of identity and restraint guide what to correct and what to preserve, supported by decision frameworks such as the Facial Integrity Scale™ (FIS™).
