Facelift, Brow Lift, or Neck Lift: Which Surgery Should I Get?
Do you wish to address your sagging skin, wrinkles, and other signs of aging? With the range of facial plastic surgery procedures available to you, we know it can be confusing to figure out which would address your unique concerns. Facelift, neck lift, and brow lift are all good options, but how do you know which is right for you?
Dr. Joseph Brown of SynergyMD Plastic Surgery in Tampa, FL, can break down facelift vs. brow lift vs. neck lift: the facial rejuvenation comparison.
Facelift for the Lower Face
A facelift can help you look more youthful if you’re concerned with signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face, like:
- Wrinkles
- Sagging cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Sagging jowls
During a facelift, our board-certified plastic surgeon makes incisions in the hairline, along the jaw, or around the ear. He then removes excess skin and fat, and smooths the remaining tissue over your face. Your skin and fat may also be redistributed for a balanced and natural appearance.
There are different variations of a facelift, so your treatment can be tailored to your exact skin concerns. For example, if you prefer smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time, ask Dr. Brown about a mini facelift.
Brow Lift for the Upper Face and Forehead
A brow lift may be recommended by our Tampa plastic surgeon if your main concerns are:
- Forehead lines
- Sagging forehead
- Drooping eyebrows
A brow lift is a procedure in which a plastic surgeon lifts the skin and muscles of the forehead and removes the excess for a smoother brow. The result is a more awake, youthful appearance and an improved ability to make facial expressions that truly reflect how you feel, instead of looking perpetually sad, angry, or tired.
Neck Lift for the Jawline and Neck
A neck lift could be the best plastic surgery option for you if your main concerns are:
- Sagging jowls
- Turkey neck
- Double chin
- Neck bands
Like a facelift, a neck lift can address sagging jowls and provide a more defined jawline. However, a neck lift focuses on improving the appearance of the neck instead of the lower two-thirds of the face. During this procedure, our Tampa plastic surgeon can tighten your loose skin and remove the excess for a smoother neck that’s free of sagginess and wrinkles.
Combining Facelift, Brow Lift, and Neck Lift
If a single facial procedure isn’t enough to address all your cosmetic concerns, Dr. Brown can safely combine procedures to address the signs of aging on your forehead, face, and neck. Our team can perform any combination of facelift, brow lift, neck lift, and blepharoplasty to achieve the facial appearance you desire.
