FACELIFT AND NECK LIFT: THE OVERVIEW
The aim of all facial cosmetic and plastic surgery should be to create balance and harmony while retaining a natural, healthy and realistic appearance. Also known as a rhytidectomy or necklift, facelifts are one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the United States. A facelift involves moving skin, tissue, and muscle in order to recontour the face and create a smoother, younger-looking profile.
​
During a facelift and neck lift procedure, Dr. Givens makes incisions in the hairline and along the contours of the ear to minimize the appearance of scars after healing. The skin is not only lifted and redraped, but the underlying structures are also elevated and restructured for improved facial contours. When necessary, liposuction or targeted fat removal is also added to remove localized fat deposits, and muscles are tightened to improve overall tone and shape.
​
Facelift procedures are completely customized at Faces Medspa by Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Daniel J. Givens. Facelifts can also be performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as fat grafting or chin augmentation, which can be discussed during your consultation. Many patients are surprised to learn that the procedure can be performed safely and comfortably in our office surgery suite with local anesthesia and light relaxing medication.

Here, the goal is to reduce the appearance of jowls, sagging lower facial features, sagging skin on the neck, and banding on the neck.
