Cervical or neck lift

A cervical or neck lift consists of tightening and repositioning both the skin and the deep structures of the neck through incisions that are deliberately hidden in different grooves and shadows that exist on the face and neck so that they are not noticeable.

Who is it indicated for?

It will often be necessary to combine it with other procedures to obtain natural results that do not contrast with the rest of the facial structures. The procedures that we most often combine with the cervical lift are:

B/A Case 1

B/A Case 2

Is it possible to combine aesthetic medicine with facial surgery?

Great results can be achieved with small details such as those provided by aesthetic medicine. The key is to apply them in the right quantities and locations, and this can only be achieved if a correct initial diagnosis is made.

We will always carry out a comprehensive assessment of facial aesthetics, and you can choose from three paths:

With cosmetic surgery we can

Repositioning tissues that have fallen

Recover tissues that have atrophied over the years.

With aesthetic medicine we can

Correct small asymmetries with a high degree of detail that we cannot achieve with surgery.

Correct dynamic wrinkles with botulinum toxin.

Increase skin brightness with hydration and nutrition thanks to hyaluronic acid.

The effect of applying both surgical and aesthetic medicine techniques at the level of facial aesthetics is not additive, it is multiplicative!

Frequently Asked Questions

The time it takes to perform a mini facelift can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the techniques used, but generally lasts between one and two hours.

Recovery from a neck lift alone is usually quicker than from a full facelift. Patients may experience swelling and bruising for the first few days, but can usually return to normal activities within one to two weeks.

The results of a neck lift can last for several years, although the natural aging process will continue to affect facial appearance over time.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, which may include infection, bleeding, abnormal scarring, facial asymmetry, and changes in sensation. However, these risks are low when the procedure is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in an appropriate setting.

Great results can be achieved with small details such as those provided by aesthetic medicine. The key is to apply them in the right quantities and locations, and this can only be achieved with a correct initial diagnosis.

When we carry out a comprehensive facial assessment, we may encounter cases that require only aesthetic medicine, others surgery and others, in the majority of cases, where both techniques are combined.

With cosmetic surgery we can:

  • Repositioning tissues that have fallen
  • Recover tissues that have atrophied over the years

With aesthetic medicine we can:

  • Correct small asymmetries with a high level of detail that we cannot achieve with surgery
  • Correcting dynamic wrinkles with botulinum toxin
  • Increase skin brightness with hydration and nutrition thanks to hyaluronic acid

No, facial surgery does not usually change the expression of the face as an “accident” or “side effect” of the surgery. We will only change the expression if that is the OBJECTIVE. For example: in faces that express a feeling of sadness or tiredness, usually due to an extreme drooping of the side of the eyebrows or the lateral corner of the eyes. In these cases, their structure and position can be anatomically modified.

Postoperative

It is important to understand that with facial cosmetic surgery we improve facial structures at a specific point in time, but from then on time and gravity will continue to act on the face

It depends on the technique used and the patient's genetic characteristics. Normally we are talking about 8 to 20 years, although this varies. It is very important to achieve natural results and adapt to the unique facial characteristics of each patient.

No. Facelift surgery only treats the superficial structures of the face.

After 3 months, the results are considered more or less stable and definitive after 12 months.

No. There is discomfort due to the initial inflammation, but with local cold and anti-inflammatories it remains a mild, punctual discomfort.
