DOES A FACELIFT TIGHTEN THE NECK?
Question:
I’ve been looking at before and after pictures of rhytidectomy patients online, and I noticed that almost all of them see improvement in not only their faces but their necks as well. I’m a 52 year old woman and I have pretty loose neck skin. Would a facelift help pull the skin on my neck up as well as tighten my face?
Answer:
Absolutely, neck improvement is a huge part of what the procedure is designed for. Both mini-facelifts and traditional facelifts improve the neck. If a patient has a large amount of neck laxity, the traditional facelift is typically better than the mini-facelift.
