Two culprits when it comes to aging are the neck and face. Both are known to age at the same time, and they cause plenty of distress to men and women.

Luckily, you can do something about it. The latest technological advances in cosmetic surgery can help eliminate signs of aging on your face and neck. These procedures are known as facelifts and neck lifts.

But, most people wonder, facelift vs. neck lift surgery, which one is better?

At the Solomon Cosmetic Center, Dr. Solomon does both facelifts and neck lifts. Contact us today for your consultation.

What is Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery is simply a skin-tightening procedure on the face. Because aging and gravity inevitably cause the face to sag, a facelift is performed on the deep superficial muscular aponeurotic systems, or SMAS, to address the underlying muscular layers of the face.

Patients also opt for facial liposuction procedures that are performed along with the facelift and other rejuvenating procedures to help lift the facial muscles.

What is Neck Lift Surgery?

Neck lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure geared towards removing excess fat and skin around your jawline, which creates a youthful and more defined neck.

Cosmetic surgeons will use different procedures to remove a double chin, which includes neck liposuction or double chin surgeries. The procedures will remove fat from the skin and then sculpt the chin and contour the neck.

Neck liposuction can be done on the following:

A weakened platysma that results in a flabby appearance
A turkey wattle as a result of excess skin accumulation
A double chin that’s a result of excess submental fat

Who Can Qualify for Neck Liposuction, or Facial Liposuction in Tampa?

The ideal candidate for either neck liposuction or facial liposuction procedures must be in good health, a nonsmoker, and someone who has realistic expectations of the results.

Dr. Solomon will need to do an initial consultation with you, before proceeding with any treatment. Book an appointment with us today.

Why are The Procedures Performed?

Both of these surgeries are the most commonly performed procedures for anti-aging. The facelift is designed to treat drooping and skin laxity on the lower part of the face, from the cheeks all the way to the jawline.

The neck lift surgery creates a more refined and smoother chin and neck, which makes changes to the face depending on the client’s needs.

The cost of neck liposuction or face lift will depend on the cosmetic surgeon you choose. Be on the lookout for Dr. Solomon’s specials on neck liposuction and facial liposuction procedures.

Can You Combine Facelift and Neck Lift Procedures?

Yes. The results of one will enhance the other, and they are able to quickly address your concerns and achieve optimal results.

However, most doctors will combine both procedures to avoid dissatisfaction with results, when you do one without the other.
