What Is a Facelift?

A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance your natural beauty by tightening and lifting sagging skin in the mid and lower face. This treatment targets deep lines, folds, and sagging jowls, providing a smoother, more youthful appearance. By addressing age-related changes, a facelift can restore confidence and help you look as young as you feel—all while maintaining the unique features that define your individual facial character.

What Is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift can be performed as a standalone procedure or as a complement to facelift surgery. The procedure is designed to address signs of aging in the neck area, such as loose skin, muscle bands, and excess fat. A neck lift can involve tightening underlying muscles, removing unwanted fat deposits, and lifting the skin to create a well-defined, elegant neck contour.

How Are Facelift and Neck Lift Surgery Performed?

Dr. Amaka combines artistic skill with advanced techniques to achieve results that look refreshed, not “overdone.” During your consultation, she will assess your skin quality, facial structure, and personal goals to develop a treatment plan. Deep plane facelift and neck lift surgery are often performed in combination to ensure seamless, harmonious results:

  • Facelift: This involves carefully placed incisions around the hairline and ears, allowing Dr. Amaka to lift and reposition underlying facial tissues. Excess skin is removed to provide a smoother, firmer appearance.
  • Neck Lift: This procedure addresses loose skin and muscle bands in the neck area. It can include liposuction to remove excess fat and tighten underlying muscles, resulting in a more defined jawline and neck.

Both procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia, allowing you to remain comfortable throughout. Dr. Amaka’s meticulous approach ensures discreet incisions and minimal visible scarring, so you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting results. Dr. Amaka performs a deep plane facelift and neck lift to tighten the deep fascia and muscles of the face to ensure a smooth, refined, and long-lasting result.

What Is Recovery Like After a Facelift and/or Neck Lift?

Recovery following a facelift and neck lift is a gradual process, but most patients are able to resume light activities within 1-2 weeks. Initial swelling and bruising are common and can be managed with prescribed medications and proper aftercare. Full recovery typically occurs over the course of a few months, as residual swelling subsides and final results become more apparent.

Dr. Amaka offers her exclusive Amaka Aesthetics Recovery program, which she designed to support a smooth, comfortable post-surgery experience while closing many of the “gaps” she identified in the aftercare process. This program includes post-operative care guidance on managing swelling and incision care, plus tips to optimize healing and reduce downtime. Scar management and recovery enhancement packages are also available to help promote exceptional results and Dr. Amaka has developed a unique silicone scar complex to this end.  

Dr. Amaka and her team schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress closely, ensuring your results develop beautifully over time. Dr. Amaka’s recovery program also includes resources for maintaining your rejuvenated look, so you can enjoy the youthful, refreshed appearance you desire for years to come.
