What Are Facelift and Neck Lift Procedures?
A facelift (rhytidectomy) and neck lift (platysmaplasty) are surgical procedures designed to reverse visible signs of aging by lifting and tightening loose skin, repositioning underlying tissues, and refining your facial contours. Whether performed together or separately, these procedures rejuvenate your face and neck, restoring your natural definition and youthful balance.
What a Facelift and Neck Lift Can Improve:
- Sagging skin along the midface, jawline, and neck.
- Volume loss in the cheeks or lower face.
- Deep creases around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds, marionette lines).
- Jowls and loss of jawline definition.
- Neck banding (platysmal bands) and excess neck skin.
By addressing both skin laxity and underlying structure, a facelift and neck lift work together to create smoother, firmer, lifted contours to restore your youthful, vibrant appearance.
Benefits of a Facelift and Neck Lift:
A facelift and neck lift are among the most effective procedures for reversing visible signs of aging and restoring a firmer, more youthful appearance. Unlike temporary treatments, these surgeries provide long-lasting, natural-looking results, helping you look refreshed and confident at any age.
Benefits of these procedures include:
Lifts and firms sagging skin on the face, jawline, and neck.
Repositions underlying tissues for a more sculpted, youthful shape.
Eliminates jowls, tightens the neck, and enhances facial harmony.
Softens creases around the mouth, nose, and chin for a refreshed look.
Unlike injectables, results last for years, not months.
Can be tailored to your unique concerns and combined with fat transfer, eyelid surgery, or laser treatments for full-face rejuvenation.
A facelift and neck lift are about more than just looking younger—they’re about restoring confidence and feeling your best in your own skin. With Dr. Brownlee’s expert technique, you’ll achieve a refreshed, natural look that enhances your beauty without changing who you are.
Facelift vs. Neck Lift: Which Is Right for You?
Facelifts and neck lifts both target signs of aging, but they focus on different areas. While many patients benefit from one procedure alone, combining both often provides the most balanced and youthful results.
What a Facelift Addresses
A facelift (rhytidectomy) tightens sagging skin and underlying tissues of the lower two-thirds of your face, leaving you with a refreshed, lifted appearance without looking overdone. It improves:
- Deep wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds, marionette lines).
- Loss of volume in the cheeks and lower face.
- Jowls and sagging skin along the jawline.
What a Neck Lift Addresses
A neck lift (platysmaplasty) helps create a more sculpted, youthful profile, particularly for patients struggling with loose skin and muscle laxity in the lower face and neck. It corrects:
- Sagging skin or excess fat under the chin ("turkey neck").
- Platysmal banding (vertical muscle bands in the neck).
- Loss of jawline definition and excess neck skin.
Combining a Facelift & Neck Lift for Comprehensive Rejuvenation
Since the face and neck age together, combining a facelift with a neck lift ensures a smooth, natural transition between the two areas. During your consultation, Dr. Brownlee will assess your needs and recommend the best approach to help you achieve a refreshed, naturally lifted appearance that feels like you—only younger and more confident.

What to Expect During Your Facelift & Neck Lift
Your face tells your story—but sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of definition don’t have to define it. A facelift and neck lift can restore your youthful contours, smooth deep creases, and redefine your jawline, helping you look as refreshed and vibrant as you feel. Dr. Brownlee’s meticulous approach ensures precision, safety, and beautiful, natural-looking results.
The Procedure Process
- Consultation & Customization: During your consultation, Dr. Brownlee will evaluate your facial structure, skin elasticity, and goals to create a personalized surgical plan.
- Anesthesia & Incision Placement: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for maximum comfort. Incisions are strategically placed around the ears, along the hairline, or under the chin for discreet healing.
- Tissue Repositioning & Tightening: Underlying muscles and tissues are lifted and secured, excess skin is removed, and fat may be sculpted or repositioned to create smooth, natural contours.
- Closure & Recovery: The incisions are carefully closed to ensure minimal scarring, and a compression garment may be applied to support healing.
Recovery Timeline
- First Couple of Days: Expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are managed with pain medication and cool compresses.
- Week 1: Sutures are typically removed, and bruising begins to fade. Many patients feel comfortable resuming light daily activities.
- Weeks 3 to 6: Swelling continues to subside, and results start becoming more visible. Most patients return to work and regular routines.
- 3 to 6 Months: Full healing is complete, leaving you with your beautiful, rejuvenated appearance.
Dr. Brownlee provides personalized post-op care instructions to support a smooth recovery and long-lasting results. She will guide you through every step of the healing process, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable throughout your journey.

Facelift and Neck Lift - FAQs
Facelift and neck lift results are long-lasting, typically maintaining a more youthful appearance for 10 to 15 years. While the natural aging process continues, the improvements from surgery provide long-term skin tightening, facial definition, and wrinkle reduction that last far longer than non-surgical treatments. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, proper skincare, and sun protection can help extend the longevity of your results. Dr. Brownlee’s advanced techniques ensure that your outcome ages gracefully, keeping you looking refreshed for years to come.
Dr. Brownlee uses advanced techniques to ensure facelift and neck lift scars are minimal and well-hidden. Incisions are strategically placed along the hairline, behind the ears, and sometimes under the chin, making them virtually undetectable once healed. Over time, scars typically fade to fine, barely noticeable lines. Following Dr. Brownlee’s post-op care instructions, including proper scar care and sun protection, will help optimize healing and ensure beautiful, discreet results.
A mini facelift is a less invasive procedure that targets mild to moderate sagging in the lower face and jawline with smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time. A full facelift addresses significant sagging, wrinkles, and jowls by lifting deeper tissues for a more dramatic, long-lasting rejuvenation. The best option depends on your skin laxity and aesthetic goals, which Dr. Brownlee will assess during your consultation.
Yes, a facelift or neck lift can be combined with other procedures for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Many patients choose to enhance their results with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, fat transfer, or laser treatments to address additional signs of aging. Combining procedures can create a more balanced, refreshed appearance while reducing overall recovery time. Dr. Brownlee will customize a treatment plan tailored to your unique goals.
Recovery from a facelift or neck lift typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the first week, with noticeable improvement by week two. Many return to work and light activities within 10 to 14 days, while more strenuous activities should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. Full healing and final results continue to refine over several months.
