Live Younger.
A naturally youthful appearance can have a noticeable effect on self-image, confidence, and the way we interact with the world around us. Simply put, when we look younger, we feel younger and live younger. Facelift surgery is the unequivocal gold standard in facial rejuvenation, offering substantial improvement in moderate to advanced signs of aging throughout the face. However, not all facelifts are created equal. For patients throughout Jackson Hole and Idaho Falls Facelift and Neck lift specialist Dr. Matthew Hagan offers high quality and seamlessly natural outcomes with personalized comprehensive treatment. Learn about the advantages of combining facelift and neck lift procedures, and schedule your consultation with a double-board-certified plastic surgeon.
What is a Face & Neck Lift?
While a facelift alone can take years or more off of your appearance, results can appear unnatural if the neck is not treated as well. By incorporating both procedures into your treatment plan, you can lift and restore youthful contours throughout the face and neck and ultimately achieve your most exquisitely authentic results.
Facelift and neck lift surgery involves removing lax excess skin to restore firmness as well as lifting the underlying structural tissues to eliminate such issues as sagging, wrinkles, deep folds, and areas that appear sunken or hollow. With careful attention to your unique facial features, each detail of your procedure is designed to preserve your naturally beautiful aesthetic while restoring your youthful vibrance.
Reset Signs of Aging
Individually, these procedures offer significant benefits, effectively delivering a permanently younger-looking appearance. However, combining these procedures allows for a more comprehensive and cohesive outcome. Collectively, when receiving a Facelift and neck lift Idaho Falls patients may experience these benefits:
When performed by a skilled and reputable plastic surgeon, Facelift and neck lift surgery can achieve impeccably natural results with virtually no detectable signs of surgery. With extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and expert precision, Dr. Hagan takes a meticulous approach to ensure that results never appear “windswept” or overdone, delivering authentically refreshed and rejuvenated outcomes.
Personalized & Precise
During your Facelift and neck lift consultation in Idaho Falls, Dr. Hagan will closely examine your concerns and medical history to determine if this procedure is right for you. Based on your concerns, goals, and preferences, he will work closely with you to curate a detailed and personalized treatment plan.
Your Face & Neck Lift Procedure
Dr. Hagan offers two types of facelifts that may be performed alongside your neck lift for optimal precision, including the SMAS and deep plane facelift techniques. While both techniques involve sculpting and lifting the skin and underlying tissues, Dr. Hagan may recommend one over the other, depending on your unique needs. The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is a structural layer below the skin that separates the underlying layers of the face.
Over time this tissue can develop laxity and looseness contributing to facial aging. To reverse these effects, Dr. Hagan may either tighten this layer, with a SMAS plication, or elevate and re-position this strength layer, with a deep plane facelift. With either technique we can restore smooth and defined facial contours to provide an impeccably rejuvenated result. Whichever facelift technique is included in your treatment plan, your procedure can be extended to the neck to eliminate the appearance of a double chin, sagging, and horizontal bands using similar techniques.
Impeccably Rejuvenated
Surgical facial rejuvenation results offer unmatched longevity, restoring a youthful appearance that can last well over a decade. Dr. Hagan strives to maximize the duration of your results with a personalized daily skin care regimen and non-surgical rejuvenation treatments.
A Smooth Experience
After Facelift and neck lift surgery, you should expect swelling, bruising, soreness, and some bleeding around incision sites. Dr. Hagan will provide you with any necessary prescriptions, such as antibiotics and pain medication, to ensure your smoothest and most comfortable recovery. You will need a close friend or family member to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for the first 48 hours.
You will need to rest as much as possible for the first few days after surgery. However, it is also important to get up and walk around periodically. It is important that you wait for Dr. Hagan’s clearance before returning to strenuous activities. Recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks, although most patients are able to return to work within 2-3 weeks, as swelling and other visible signs of surgery are usually resolved.
Facelift results generally last 10-15 years and essentially reset the clock on aging.
While younger or older patients may choose to undergo facelift surgery, the late 40s to 50s is a common age range for facelift patients.
It is not uncommon for facelift patients to include adjunct procedures for enhanced results and reduced overall downtime and costs. While your surgery may be tailored to combine virtually any of the procedures we offer, many patients choose to maximize their facelift with a neck lift, rhinoplasty, or blepharoplasty, fat grafting, buccal fat removal, brow lift, chemical peel, or laser procedures.
