Facelift With Neck Lift in Houston, TX
Facial aging is a response to genetics, sun damage, lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and the natural breakdown of tissue. This aging results in thinning skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss on the face and neck.
Facelift with neck lift surgery provides natural-looking facial rejuvenation and comprehensive correction for the face and neck.
Am I a Candidate for Facelift With Neck Lift Surgery?
Many women turn to facelift and neck lift surgery to restore a tighter and more youthful facial contour. Candidates for a facelift with neck lift are non-smokers who are in good overall health, have no previous medical conditions that would impair their healing, and have realistic expectations of their results.
What Are the Benefits of Facelift With Neck Lift Surgery?
Facelift with neck lift surgery is beneficial for women with:
- Deep creases around the nose and mouth
- Sagging in the middle of the face
- Loss of facial volume
- Creases below the eyelids
- Jowls (sagging tissue along the jawline)
- Fatty deposits beneath the chin
- Vertical banding on the neck
To schedule your facelift and neck lift consultation with Dr. Kronowitz, contact one of our Houston-based offices by calling (713) 523-0300.
How Is Facelift With Neck Lift Surgery Done?
Facelift with neck lift surgery restores youthful contours by tightening the muscles and removing excess skin.
During a facelift and neck lift, the deep tissues of the SMAS layer are lifted and tightened, facial fat is sculpted and redistributed, additional fat is added, and loose skin is trimmed.
How Should I Prepare for Facelift With Neck Lift Surgery?
A thorough consultation with Dr. Kronowitz in Houston, TX, is required before your facelift and neck lift surgery. During this meeting, you will discuss:
- Your concerns and goals
- Your surgical options
- Your medical history
- Any medications, drugs, or supplements used that may affect the surgical or healing process
Dr. Kronowitz will evaluate your skin condition, take measurements and photos, and design your surgical plan during this consultation.
Before your facelift surgery, you may be asked to complete lab testing or modify your medication and vitamin regimen. You should stop smoking and avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements.
Where Are Facelift With Neck Lift Incisions Made?
Incisions for facelift surgery are made on either side of the face within the temporal hairline. This placement ensures that the resulting scars will remain hidden by the hair and will avoid any shift to the hairline.
An additional submental incision (under the chin) may be required for the neck lift. This is only needed for patients with moderate to significant neck laxity.
Liposuction of the neck may be performed if there is significant excess fat on the neck; however, Dr. Kronowitz prefers not to use this technique, as the results are not always ideal.
Why Should I Combine Fat Transfer With My Facelift?
During the aging process, women tend to lose some of their natural facial fat. Since fat is responsible for your youthful contours, Dr. Kronowitz located in Houston, TX combines full-face fat transfer with your facelift.
Unwanted fat is harvested from the body and applied to the:
- Cheeks
- Temples
- Under the eyes
- Lips
- Jawline
High volume fat grafting restores youthful fullness to the face, and, as it contains stem cells, is beneficial in rejuvenating the skin’s appearance.
How Long Does it Take to Recover From Facelift With Neck Lift Surgery?
Facelift surgery is performed under anesthesia, and you will need someone to drive you after the surgery.
Bandages will be placed over the incision sites to protect the area and aid in the healing process. Stitches are usually removed within 10 to 14 days.
You can expect to experience moderate to significant bruising and swelling during the initial days of your recovery. Any post-operative discomfort can be remedied with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses.
Most patients return to work and their normal activities after two weeks.
What Are the Risks With Facelift Surgery?
Facelift surgery is safe, but complications are possible. These complications include:
- Negative reactions to anesthesia
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Fluid accumulation
- Poor wound healing
- Prolonged wound healing
- Numbness or changes in skin sensation
- Facial nerve injury
- Temporary or permanent hair loss at the incision sites
When Will I See My Facelift With Neck Lift Results?
Your facelift results start to become visible immediately following the surgery, but they will continue to improve over the following weeks and months as the bruising and swelling subside and the transferred fat settles into the face.
It may take up to a few months for all swelling to completely disappear.
Your facelift and neck lift will restore a more rested and younger facial appearance, which can help you feel more confident in the reflexion that you see in the mirror.
Results from a facelift are long lasting, but they cannot stop the natural aging process. Patients will continue to appear younger than if they had not undergone the procedure, but signs of aging will likely reappear at some point in the future.
How Much Does Facelift With Neck Lift Surgery Cost?
The starting price for a facelift with Dr. Kronowitz is $9875. Dr. Kronowitz also offers a facelift package. Your facelift and neck lift is entirely customized and personalized depending on your extent of tissue laxity and cosmetic desires.
In addition to the cost of the surgical techniques, your facelift with neck lift cost will include anesthesia fees, surgeon’s fees, facility fees, pre-surgical tests, post-surgical medications, and dressings. Dr. Kronowitz located in Houston, TX performs all of his plastic surgery procedures in state-of-the-art surgical facilities or hospitals. Location and the experience of the surgeon will also influence the final cost of your facelift.
What Procedures Can Be Combined With My Facelift With Neck Lift?
Dr. Kronowitz believes that combining surgical procedures is the only way to obtain facial balance and harmony. This is why he always performs facelift, neck lift, and full-face fat transfer together.
For patients with additional aging on the eyelids or the forehead, Dr. Kronowitz may recommend eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), brow lift, or non-surgical treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic, Restylane®, or chemical peels.
Non-surgical treatments cannot be performed at the same time as your facelift with neck lift surgery. An additional appointment with Dr. Kronowitz will be required if you would like to undergo an injectable/chemical peel treatment once you have healed from your facelift.
