Types of Facelifts and Neck Lifts

Facelift

A facelift, also known as face lift surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that repositions underlying tissues, tightens the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), and removes excess skin to restore youthful definition to the facial skin, jawline, and cheeks. Types of facelifts offered include:

  1. Deep Plane Facelift: The most comprehensive option, lifting deep anatomical structures for dramatic, long-lasting results while preserving natural contours.
  2. Traditional Facelift: Targets both superficial and deeper tissues to correct sagging skin and fat displacement.
  3. Mini Facelift: A less invasive option ideal for early signs of aging or patients wanting shorter downtime.

Facelifts are typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Discomfort is minimal, and swelling generally resolves within 2–3 weeks; most patients return to social activities by week three.

Related procedures: Eyelid surgery, brow lift, fat transfer, and skin resurfacing.

Neck Lift

A neck lift surgery is performed to improve the neck’s appearance, smooth neck skin, and remove excess fat under the chin and along the jawline. This neck surgery tightens connective tissues and underlying muscles, making them ideal for treating:

  • Loose skin and vertical banding
  • Fat cells contributing to a double chin
  • Poor neck contours due to aging or genetics

Recovery from a neck lift parallels that of a facelift, with minimal discomfort and visible results appearing within 4–6 weeks.

Related Procedures: Eyelid lift or facial fat grafting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Will the Results of My Facelift Be Permanent?
    When approaching each procedure, Dr. Gilpin is committed to performing surgery that will last as long as possible, without patients looking over-corrected or altered. Although you can't permanently stop the aging process, you can expect the results of your facelift to be long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle. In general, your facelift will make you look about 10 years younger, and while aging will continue, the procedure will essentially “turn back the clock” and allow you to age gracefully over time. Many Nashville patients also opt to maintain their rejuvenated appearance with non-invasive treatments, like Botox injections and dermal fillers.
  • Will I look like myself after a facelift?
    Dr. Gilpin uses advanced surgical techniques to lift and tighten while preserving your natural appearance, making sure it’s never pulled, overdone, or “windblown.”
  • Can a neck lift be performed without a facelift?
    A neck lift can be done alone to tighten the neck skin and reduce a double chin, but combining it with a facelift often provides the most harmonious result.
