As we age, skin loses elasticity, and changes in facial structure can lead to sagging, deep folds, and less jawline definition. A combined facelift and neck lift at Wentworth Clinic helps restore a firmer, more youthful appearance by lifting and repositioning facial tissues while refining the neck and jawline.
Is a facelift and neck lift right for you?
This procedure may be a good option if you’re experiencing:
- Loose, sagging skin in the lower face and neck
- Deep facial lines and folds
- Loss of jawline definition
- Deep facial lines and folds
- Drooping neck muscles or visible neck bands
- Changes in facial contours due to weight loss
What to expect during surgery
A facelift lifts and repositions sagging mid and lower facial tissues, restoring firmness and improving skin laxity. A neck lift focuses on refining the jawline by tightening the platysma muscle and removing excess skin, creating a smoother, more defined profile. Our expert surgeon, Professor Ilankovan, customises each procedure to the patient, aiming for natural and long-lasting results.
Facelift techniques: SMAS vs. deep plane
The SMAS facelift (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) lifts deeper facial tissues for longer-lasting results. The deep plane facelift provides more extensive correction by repositioning the deeper structures of the middle of the face, improving both longevity and the natural appearance of the final result.
Neck rejuvenation: sculpting & definition
A neck lift tightens the underlying platysma muscle, improving jawline definition and reducing sagging. In some cases, adjustments can also be made to minimise the appearance of drooping salivary glands for a more refined look.
