A facelift and neck lift are two of the most effective procedures for facial rejuvenation. Many of our patients in Eagan, Woodbury, Lakeville and Vadnais Heights choose to have these procedures done together to achieve a more natural and balanced result. Since the lower face and neck age at a similar pace, treating them simultaneously can provide a smoother, more youthful appearance.
At Midwest Facial Plastic Surgery, our team of double board-certified facial plastic surgeons works closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan. The goal is to deliver subtle, natural results that enhance your appearance without changing who you are.
When Is a Facelift and Neck Lift Combined?
A facelift focuses on the lower face, addressing concerns like deep wrinkles, sagging jowls, and volume loss. A neck lift, on the other hand, tightens loose skin and removes excess fat around the jawline and neck.
These procedures are often performed together because sagging in the lower face and neck occurs simultaneously. Treating one area without the other can create an unbalanced look.
More importantly, a combined approach offers complete rejuvenation with more natural-looking results.
Who Might Benefit from Both a Facelift and Neck Lift
You may be a good candidate for this combined approach if you’re noticing skin laxity in the lower face or neck, reduced jawline definition, or fullness under the chin. For some patients, combining procedures offers the most comprehensive and natural-looking outcome, while others may find that a single, focused approach is the right fit.
During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss your goals, assess your facial anatomy and skin quality, and walk through the options together. It’s a collaborative process designed to ensure the approach we recommend aligns with what you’re hoping to achieve. Patients from Eagan, Woodbury, Vadnais Heights, Lakeville, and beyond trust our team for expert care and personalized guidance.
Facelift Benefits
A facelift offers numerous benefits for those looking to refresh their appearance, such as tightened skin and improved facial contours. The procedure also reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
A facelift can achieve a defined jawline with natural-looking results lasting up to ten years.
Neck Lift Benefits
Neck lift benefits include removing loose or sagging skin on the neck and the appearance of vertical neck bands. The procedure also removes excess fat beneath the chin for a smoother, firmer neckline.
Facelift and Neck Lift Results
Combining a facelift and neck lift provides a balanced result, achieving a youthful and refreshed look without appearing “overdone.” Both procedures improve the definition of the jaw and neckline.
Long-lasting results can be maintained with a good skincare routine. View before and after photos from the Midwest Facial Plastic Surgery Team.
Is the Recovery Longer?
Although two areas are addressed, recovery is typically similar to that of a facelift alone. Most patients experience swelling and bruising in the first one to two weeks, followed by a gradual return to normal daily routines. By the three-week mark, many feel comfortable being out and about. Final results continue to develop over the next six to twelve months as healing progresses and scars mature.
We’ll guide you through each phase of the process with clear instructions, support, and personalized care.
