A facelift and neck lift known clinically as rhytidectomy and platysmaplasty; is the gold standard in complete facial rejuvenation, addressing sagging skin, deep lines, and a loose neck in one transformative procedure.
Treatment
A combined Facelift and Neck Lift is the ultimate surgical approach for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. By addressing the mid-face, jowls, and neck in a single, perfectly coordinated procedure, this surgery reverses severe signs of aging across the entire lower face. The harmonious result is a seamlessly restored, naturally youthful contour from the cheeks down to the collarbone.
Key Benefits
Harmonic Rejuvenation: Prevents an artificially tight face sitting above a loose, aged neck.
Crisp Jawline Definition: Completely eradicates jowls and double chins in one stroke.
Single Recovery Period: Undergoing both procedures at once means only one period of downtime and one round of anaesthesia.
Long-Lasting Synergy: The combined, structural tightening provides highly durable results that age gracefully over a decade.

Frequent Asked Questions
Because the face and neck age together. Lifting the face without tightening the neck often highlights the loose skin below the jaw, creating an unbalanced, “operated” look.
No. Combining the surgeries allows the surgeon to use the exact same continuous incision line—hidden inside the hairline, around the ear, and behind it—for maximum camouflage.
You will feel significant tightness under your chin and across your lower face for several weeks to months as the newly positioned muscles settle.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and socializing after 2 to 3 weeks, once the majority of bruising and swelling has subsided.
If you have excellent skin elasticity and only a pocket of fat under the chin, submental liposuction may be sufficient. A neck lift is required if you have loose, hanging skin.
Most patients report feeling tightness and discomfort rather than acute pain. This is well-managed with prescribed oral pain medication during the first week of recovery.
Yes, small surgical drains are commonly placed behind the ears for the first 24 to 48 hours to remove excess fluid and minimize post-operative swelling and bruising.
You can typically start wearing camouflage makeup around 10 to 14 days post-surgery, once your surgeon confirms the incisions are fully closed and healing well.
You must sleep on your back with your head elevated on 2-3 pillows (or in a recliner) for the first two weeks. This minimizes facial swelling and protects your incisions.
A facelift targets the lower face and jawline but does not directly smooth the fine lines around the mouth (smoker’s lines). Laser resurfacing or dermal fillers are better suited for lip lines.
No, your hair will not be shaved. The surgeon will meticulously part and secure your hair along the incision lines to preserve your natural hairline and follicles.
