Turn Back Time with Facelift and Necklift


Rediscover a Youthful Self with the Lift Treatments

Transform Your Look and Boost Your Confidence

If sagging skin, prominent neck bands, or a "turkey waddle" have left you feeling self-conscious, a neck lift may be the solution you’ve been seeking. This transformative procedure restores a smooth, contoured neck, redefining your jawline and enhancing your youthful appearance. Whether you need subtle liposuction or a more comprehensive neck lift, Dr. Macdonald tailors each procedure to meet your unique goals.

A facelift (rhytidectomy) addresses skin laxity, deep wrinkles, jowls, and neck bands to rejuvenate the lower two-thirds of your face. If you’re ready to restore the youthful appearance you deserve, Dr. Macdonald’s expertise ensures natural, stunning results that leave you feeling refreshed and confident.

How a Neck Lift Restores Youthful Appearance

  • Addressing Aging Signs: Smooths neck wrinkles, reduces sagging, and eliminates prominent bands.
  • Tailored Results: Combines liposuction for fat removal, muscle tightening, and skin recontouring to suit the severity of aging.
  • Enhancing the Jawline: Highlights a sculpted, youthful jawline while improving overall facial harmony.

What to Expect During Neck Lift Surgery

Incision Placement: Discreetly placed in natural creases behind the ears and within the hairline for minimal visible scarring.

Procedure Details:

  • Liposuction removes unwanted fat through a small incision under the chin.
  • Underlying muscles are tightened with sutures, and excess skin is trimmed for a smoother appearance.

Duration: Standalone surgery takes approximately 2 hours, while combined procedures may take 4-5 hours.

Combination Procedures for Optimal Results

  • Facelift: Enhance the lower face and neck simultaneously for a comprehensive transformation.
  • Brow Lift and Eyelid Surgery: Address upper-face aging for complete facial rejuvenation.

Healing and Recovery

Post-Surgical Care:

  • A chinstrap or light pressure dressing is applied and removed during the first follow-up visit (5-7 days post-op).
  • Swelling and bruising are expected for the first week.
  • Non-dissolvable sutures are removed at 5-7 days.

Recovery Timeline:

  • Return to work or daily activities within a week, using concealers if necessary.
  • Numbness in the neck may persist for weeks to months, with final results visible at 3-6 months.
