Facial Rejuvenation: Not Just About the Face

It’s not uncommon for plastic surgeons in Atlanta to combine multiple facial sculpting procedures for a more comprehensive result. Personally, when it comes to restoring a youthful appearance, I usually incorporate a neck lift with a facelift. This gives my patients more significant changes by addressing the mid-face, jowls, and neck line.
Looking at the Big Picture
Plastic surgery that looks natural almost always involves a series of steps to treat multiple areas of the face in a comprehensive manner. When attention is given to only one specific area, other features that were not improved may appear markedly less youthful.
A neck lift can greatly enhance the results of a facelift and provide a more rejuvenated look overall. During this procedure, I typically remove excess skin and fat to create a smoother, more defined jawline. Muscle tightening can also be performed to give the neck a smooth, sleek appearance. The mid-face is also addressed through a facelift, which helps reduce deep creases between the nose and mouth. Once complete, the final result looks elegantly cohesive and natural.
Non-Surgical Options
Many non-surgical treatments can also be used in conjunction with a face and neck lift to improve skin quality. Procedures such as laser skin resurfacing, dermal fillers, and BOTOX® Cosmetic can add the finishing touches to your surgery and keep you looking youthful for many years.
