Head and neck lift: age, scars and recovery

Head and neck lift: rejuvenating the face and neck

The Head and neck lift is the leading surgical procedure for treating sagging skin on the face and neck. To the Grand Paris Clinic, our expert cosmetic surgeons perform this operation in a high-end setting in Paris 16ème, with the aim of achieving a natural and harmonious result.

This surgery allows redraw the oval of the face, tighten the skin on the neck and erase the jowls, while respecting the patient's expressions and identity.

At what age should a head and neck lift be considered?

There is no single age for a facelift. In general, the intervention is considered from the age of forty or fifty, when:

• The oval of the face is drooping
• The skin on the neck relaxes
• jowls appear
• Deep wrinkles make you look tired

Each case is unique: some patients may benefit from a facelift earlier, others later, depending on the quality of their skin and their genetics. During the consultation, a personalized diagnosis makes it possible to determine the relevance of the intervention.

Scars after a neck and facial lift

Scars are a common concern for patients. Our surgeons make incisions discreet and hidden in strategic areas:

• In front of or behind the ear
• In the paw of the hair
• sometimes under the chin to treat the neck

Thanks to modern techniques, these scars are fine and fade over time. They generally become almost invisible after a few months.

Unfolding and recovery

The procedure lasts an average of 2 to 4 hours, under general or local anesthesia with sedation. It is performed on an outpatient basis or with a night of hospitalization depending on the case.

The surgical suites

• moderate swelling and bruising for 1 to 2 weeks
• wires removed after about 7 days
