Face and Neck Lift

A face and neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to reduce excess skin, remove fat deposits, and tighten muscles of the neck to regain a youthful jaw line and a smoother, more slender neck. This procedure is common for patients over 40 years old. By performing this procedure, Dr. Mosier can successfully remove 10-15 years of aging.

The procedure begins with a few small incisions along the undersides of each ear and beneath the middle of the chin to reveal the muscles of the neck. At this point, the skin is separated from the underlying tissue, and fat deposits are removed using liposuction techniques. The muscles of the neck are then tightened and sutured into place to ensure long-lasting results before the skin is lifted and excess is removed. The incisions are closed carefully to minimize visible scarring.

Over time, we can experience loose, saggy, inelastic skin beneath our chin. Occasionally patients who have undergone extreme loss also experiences this loss of elasticity. If you are in good health and concerned about the appearance of loose skin beneath your chin and lower face, then you are a prime candidate for a neck lift procedure. Aging is natural and accepted but an unattractive neckline doesn’t have to be. Let Dr. Mosier and his team remove any excess skin to give you a slender, aesthetically pleasing neckline.

Typically the surgery can take between 1 and 3 hours to perform. After surgery is complete, patients will be given an expected recovery time of 7 to 14 days. Swelling and bruising is common and can last several days into the recovery period. The good news is that most patients we have seen can return to heavy activity within 3 to 4 weeks post-surgery.
