Case 1
This patient had a lower face and neck lift.
A very fine s-shaped incision curves and closely hugs the front of the ear before looping underneath the earlobe, up along the back of the ear and then going into the hairline behind the ear.
When people are seeking tightening in the neck it is usually optimal to do the lower face as well.
The recovery time is usually about 14 days in order to allow the swelling and bruising to settle.
The post-operative photo was taken 3 months after surgery.

Case 2
This patient had a lower face and neck lift as well as liposuction to the neck.
In patients over 40 years old it is usually necessary to use a tightening procedure such as the Lift-Plus in addition to liposuction when the neck is treated. If liposuction alone is performed, it will remove the fat but is likely to result in loose skin. The Lift-Plus uses multiple sutures to lift and support the deep tissue and skin.
It is usually necessary to wear a compression garment for 4 days following the procedure and drains are also used for 4 days.

Case 3
This patient had a lower face and neck lift.
During the procedure, multiple fine sutures were used to lift the loose tissue of the neck and jawline in order to achieve a firmer neck.

Case 4
This patient had a lower face and neck lift.
Usually, when the neck loosens, it is combined with loosening of the jawline. When these areas are tightened during a Lift-Plus procedure, the direction of the tightening moves backwards but also upwards onto the face. For this reason, the majority of patients seeking a firmer neck will also need their jowls done.
During the Lift-Plus, multiple fine sutures loop around the deep tissue of the neck and jowls. This deep tissue is called the platysma and SMAS and is the same tissue which is tightened during a standard necklift or facelift.

Case 5
This patient had noticeable bands on the front of her neck which was treated with a lower face and neck lift.
During this procedure the deep tissue at the front of the neck is lifted upwards and backwards and with it, the excess skin is also lifted and tightened and then actually removed through a fine incision along the front of the ear and then backwards into the hairline behind the ear.
Dr Szalay sometimes also makes an incision underneath the chin to repair the loose neck bands (platysmal plication)
Bruising can occur and for this reason it is necessary to wear a compression garment for 4 days following the procedure. It is best to allow 2 weeks to recover from the procedure and sometimes more elderly patients can need a bit longer.
