Facelift and neck lift surgery remain the gold standard for patients seeking to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance. At Pacific Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced surgical options designed to address facial aging at every level, whether you are noticing early changes in the face, concerns isolated to the neck, or more comprehensive aging across both areas. Each treatment plan is fully customized by Dr. Ashley Tregaskiss to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your features rather than change them.

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the mid-to-lower face, including sagging skin, deep folds around the mouth, jowling along the jawline, and loss of definition in the cheeks. The procedure involves carefully placed incisions around the ears and hairline, allowing for repositioning of deeper facial tissues and removal of excess skin, creating smoother contours and a more youthful facial profile. Techniques such as traditional, ponytail, or deep-plane approaches are selected based on your goals.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift focuses on improving the contour of the neck and jawline by addressing loose skin, excess fat under the chin, and visible muscle banding. In cases of isolated fullness, liposuction performed through small, discreet incisions can refine the neckline, while more advanced concerns may require a comprehensive surgical approach that targets skin, fat, and muscle through hidden incisions around the ear and hairline, resulting in a more defined neckline that complements the face.

Facelift Versus Neck Lift Versus Combined Surgery

Some patients benefit from treating only one area while others achieve the most natural and balanced outcome by addressing both the face and neck together, as a facelift alone is ideal for concerns in the cheeks and jawline while a neck lift alone focuses on the area under the chin and along the neckline, and combining the procedures creates a more seamless transition between the face and neck with a more comprehensive rejuvenation that produces longer lasting and more harmonious results.

Recovery and Downtime

Recovery timelines vary depending on the extent of your procedure, but most patients can expect a manageable healing process, with facelift patients typically returning to daily activities within about 10 days and light exercise within three weeks, while neck lift recovery may require two to three weeks away from work and a gradual return to activity, with swelling and bruising improving over the first few weeks and full activity resuming around four to six weeks as results continue to refine over several months.

Results and What You Can Expect

Patients often report looking 10 to 20 years younger following facelift and neck lift surgery. While results are not permanent, these procedures effectively reset the aging process so you can continue to age more gracefully over time. With Dr. Tregaskiss prioritizing natural-looking outcomes that restore youthful structure and definition without creating an overdone appearance, so you look refreshed, confident, and like yourself.

Face and Neck Lift Before & Afters

Many patients say they look 10-20 years younger after their face & neck lift procedure. Although these results are not permanent, facelift surgery significantly sets the clock back on skin aging so that you will continue to age more gracefully with a younger and more refreshed look. Dr. Tregaskiss prioritizes natural-looking results to enhance your facial features rather than change them completely.

FAQs

What is rhytidectomy?

Rhytidectomy, commonly known as a facelift, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It involves tightening underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and redistributing facial fat to create a more youthful appearance.

Who are the ideal candidates for rhytidectomy?

Ideal candidates for rhytidectomy are individuals with sagging skin and loss of facial volume who have good skin elasticity and a strong bone structure. Generally, patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.

What are the different techniques used in rhytidectomy?

There are several techniques for performing a facelift, including traditional facelifts, mini facelifts, and deep-plane facelifts. The choice of technique depends on the patient's specific needs, desired outcomes, and surgeon's expertise.

How long does the surgery take?

The duration of a rhytidectomy can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether additional surgeries (like eyelid surgery or brow lifts) are performed simultaneously. Generally, the surgery lasts between 2 to 6 hours.

What type of anesthesia is used during rhytidectomy?

Rhytidectomy can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The choice depends on the extent of the surgery and patient preference.

What can I expect during recovery after a rhytidectomy?

Recovery from rhytidectomy typically involves swelling and bruising for several weeks. Most patients can return to light activities within 2 weeks but should avoid strenuous exercise for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Full recovery may take several months before final results are visible.

Are there any risks associated with rhytidectomy?

As with any surgical procedure, rhytidectomy carries risks such as infection, scarring, hematoma (blood collection under the skin), nerve injury, and complications related to anesthesia. It's essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon prior to surgery.

How long do the results of a rhytidectomy last?

The results of a rhytidectomy can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, although individual factors like aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices will influence how long the results remain evident.

Will there be visible scars after a rhytidectomy?

Scarring is an inevitable part of any surgical procedure; however, skilled surgeons make incisions in discreet locations (such as along natural creases) to minimize visibility. Over time, scars typically fade but may remain noticeable for some patients.

Can rhytidectomy be combined with other procedures?

Yes, rhytidectomy is often performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lifts, or fat transfer to enhance overall facial rejuvenation results
