Lower Facelift Surgery

Lower Facelift Surgery targets the bottom third of the face, including the jawline and neck, to address signs of aging such as jowls, loose skin, and deep wrinkles. This procedure is designed to restore a more youthful and contoured appearance by tightening underlying muscles and removing excess skin.

• Rejuvenated Appearance: Significantly reduces signs of aging in the lower face and neck.
• Enhanced Jawline and Neck Contour: Tightens sagging skin and smooths out wrinkles to redefine the jawline and neck area.
• Long-Lasting Results: Offers more durable results compared to non-surgical treatments.

Ideal candidates for Lower Facelift Surgery are typically individuals who:

• Exhibit moderate to severe sagging and wrinkling in the lower face and neck.
• Are in good overall health and do not have medical conditions that impair healing.
• Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of facelift surgery.
• Are non-smokers or willing to quit smoking well in advance of the surgery and throughout the recovery period.

Lower Facelift Surgery is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Dr. Zuckerman begins by making small, discreet incisions that typically run along the hairline at the temples, continuing around the ear and ending in the lower scalp. Through these incisions, he carefully tightens the underlying muscle and connective tissue and removes or redistributes facial fat as needed before trimming away excess skin.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from Lower Facelift Surgery varies by individual, but patients generally need to take 2 to 3 weeks off from work or social activities. Swelling and bruising are common but will diminish over the first few weeks. Dr. Zuckerman provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth and effective healing process.

Tighten Jawline and Jaw Augmentation in UES

In addition to the traditional lower facelift, Dr. Zuckerman can enhance the procedure with jaw augmentation techniques for patients seeking a more pronounced and sculpted jawline. This comprehensive approach not only tightens the skin but also strategically augments the jaw to create a more defined facial profile, blending seamlessly with the overall facial enhancements.

Long-Term Results and Satisfaction

The results of a lower facelift can be dramatic, offering a more rested and youthful appearance. With proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle, the outcomes of your surgery can last for many years. Follow-up visits with Dr. Zuckerman are recommended to monitor your progress and discuss any long-term care needs.
