Face Lift and Neck Lift
Face Lift and Neck Lift Surgery in Morristown, New Jersey
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and the deeper connective tissues in the face and neck begin to sag under the force of gravity. Over time, the natural support structures, such as collagen and elastin, weaken, causing the skin and underlying tissues to lose firmness and shift downward. These changes can lead to wrinkles, sagging, and a tired appearance. Facelift and neck lift surgery offer a solution to restore a youthful, refreshed look. Dr. Randall, a facial plastic surgeon in Morristown, NJ, is dedicated to achieving natural, harmonious results that enhance your features while preserving your unique beauty.
What is a Face Lift?
A face lift, or rhytidectomy, combines a cheek lift (aka midface lift) and neck lift. It addresses visible signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face (cheek/midface lift) and neck (neck lift).
Dr. Randall performs a deep plane facelift tailored to your aesthetic goals and anatomy, ensuring a balanced and natural outcome. His advanced techniques focus on repositioning deeper tissues in a more vertical vector, putting things back to where they used to be. This takes tension off of the skin, avoiding the “pulled” or “overdone” look, while leaving you looking refreshed and youthful.
What is a Cheek or Midface Lift?
A cheek lift (aka midface lift) addresses the lower two-thirds of the face. This procedure focuses on:
- Sagging skin along the cheeks and jawline (jowls)
- Deep folds or creases between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Excess skin that creates a tired or aged appearance
Dr. Randall counters these changes by elevating the cheek fat pads and soft tissues to their natural, higher position, creating a smoother, more balanced transition between the lower eyelids, cheeks, and mouth.
What is an Endoscopic Midface Lift?
An endoscopic midface lift is a minimally invasive approach to cheek lift and focuses on repositioning sagging tissues in the midface. Small incisions are made in the scalp, and a long, thin camera and light called an endoscope is used to provide a detailed view of the underlying facial structures. Candidates tend to be younger and seek targeted treatment to the midface without the need for a full facelift.
What is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift addresses aging in the neck and under the chin. This procedure focuses on:
- Loose, sagging skin on the neck
- Vertical neck bands (platysmal bands)
- Excess fat or tissue beneath the chin, often called a “double chin”
A neck lift creates a seamless, rejuvenated appearance from the jawline to the décolletage.
What is a Mini-Lift?
A mini-lift can be used to describe many variations to a cheek lift or neck lift, components of a full face lift. Generally, incisions are smaller than a full face lift, outcomes are more subtle, and recovery can be quicker. Candidates for this less invasive approach tend to be younger with only mild or isolated signs of aging.
