Question: I'm debating between getting a neck lift alone and a full face and neck lift. My biggest concern is that I don't want to look overdone. I'm 61 years old and I've aged fairly well but in the past few years I've developed jowls. How much improvement would I seen in a neck lift alone and would this help to maintain a natural appearance?

Answer: I commonly hear this same question. Many women in your situation are concerned about looking overdone. Even for those who have aged well and have more changes in the neck than the mid-face, there most likely has been some volume loss and sagging in the cheek region. You should see dramatic improvement in your neck and jawline with a neck lift alone. You would most likely be completely satisfied with this procedure. I usually suggest to my patients, however that they have the full face and neck lift. This is primarily because there is virtually no difference in recovery time and only slightly more scarring with the full procedure. With this there will be equal improvement in the mid-face or cheek region which will dramatically improve the overall result. The mid-face portion of the lift can produce the desired improvement while still maintaining a natural appearance.
