Face and Neck Lift

If the skin on your face, under your chin or on your neck has begun to sag, you might be an excellent candidate for a face and neck lift. Dr. Severinac considers a face and neck lift to be one and the same. The vector of skin pull required to properly tighten the skin of the cheeks and neck should be over the jaw and onto the cheeks, as well as toward the area behind the ear. During the procedure, discreet incisions are made along the side burns, and around ears.  The skin is elevated off the underlying tissues in the cheeks and neck. Absorbable ribbons are placed to suspend and support the deeper tissues.  The excess skin is removed from in front and behind the ear.  The skin is meticulously repaired with under the skin fine sutures.  Excess fat is often removed from the jowls and below the chin with liposuction.

Dr. Severinac places his incisions so they are inconspicuous even with the hair pulled up. Facelifts are commonly performed in conjunction with other surgeries such as forehead lift, eyelid lift, liposuction, and lip crease dermabrasion for even more beautiful results.
