Facelift and Necklift

What is Facelift and Necklift?

A facelift (rhytidectomy) paired with a neck lift gently re-positions the deeper SMAS and platysma layers, removes or redistributes fat, and redrapes loose skin to rejuvenate your lower face, jawline, and neck—all in one surgery.

Most patients return to desk work in 10–14 days, see bruising fade within three weeks, and enjoy refining results as subtle swelling subsides over 8–12 weeks.

Ideal for: Adults bothered by jowls, “turkey-neck” laxity, or deep creases who want age-appropriate, natural-looking rejuvenation.

How Facelift and Necklift Works: A Closer Look

  1. Prep & anesthesia

    You’ll meet our board-certified physician anesthesiologist; most procedures use gentle IV sedation with local anesthetic for a quicker, easier wake-up.

  2. Precision lifting

    Dr. Jean-Paul Leva, FACS creates discreet incisions around the ear, elevates the SMAS, tightens the platysma, and contours fat for a smooth jawline.

  3. Surgery time

    Plan for 3–4 hours in our private, state-licensed surgical suite, then typically head home the same day with clear, easy-to-follow recovery instructions.

  4. Healing milestones

    Suture removal around day 7, social events for most patients by week 3, and our 12-month doctor-guided follow-up supports your results as they continue to refine.

Benefits of Facelift and Necklift

  1. One-and-Done Face-and-Neck Lift

    A single, carefully planned procedure refreshes cheeks, sharpens the jawline, and firms the neck in one go.

  2. Hidden Scars

    Incisions follow the ear and hairline, fading to fine lines that are easy to miss.

  3. Deep-Layer Support

    Tightening the SMAS and platysma layers helps results stay crisp for years.

  4. Defined Profile

    A clean jaw and smooth neck look great in the mirror and every candid photo.

FAQs - Facelift and Necklift

How much does a Facelift and Necklift cost?
Facelift-plus-necklift packages at Leva Medical start at $22,900. Pricing covers your board-certified surgeon, physician-anesthesiologist, and 12-month doctor follow-up—never a recovery house. Financing is available from $299 per month with a standard deposit and approved credit. Exact quote after exam; individual needs vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. Most patients leave our accredited surgical suite about 30-90 minutes after surgery. You’ll need a trusted adult to drive you home and stay with you the first night.
Will I need drains, garments, or lymphatic massages?
Our modern tissue-glue closure means drains are rarely necessary. You’ll usually wear a soft chin sling for the first 48 hours; lymphatic massages and recovery houses are not routinely required.
Will the scars be noticeable?
Incisions hide behind each earlobe and in the natural crease under your chin. With meticulous closure and scar-minimizing tech, they usually fade to fine lines over the course of a year.
How long do results last?
Many patients can enjoy their refreshed profile for 8–12 years before normal aging softens tissues again. Consistent skincare and sun protection help prolong your outcome.
Does it hurt?
Most patients feel tightness more than sharp pain. Oral pain relievers and cool compresses keep discomfort low; most patients rate pain 2–3 out of 10 during the first few days.
