Face & Neck Lift
Face & Neck Lift
Lift sagging facial and neck skin and restore youthful contour to the cheeks, jowls, and jawline using deep-plane SMAS technique.
What is a face & neck lift?
A facelift and neck lift tighten sagging skin and the underlying SMAS muscle layer to redefine the cheeks, nasolabial folds, jowls, and jawline for a firmer, more youthful look.
Your surgeon assesses skin laxity, fat volume, and facial structure to choose the level of lift (mini, lower, full) and plan incisions hidden along the hairline and behind the ears.
What it addresses
Sagging cheeks / deep folds
Cheek tissue descends, deepening the nasolabial folds and tiring the face.
Jowls / blurred jawline
Skin and fat sag along the jaw, obscuring a clean jawline.
Loose neck skin / bands
Lax neck skin or muscle bands make the neck look aged.
Midface volume loss
Cheeks and midface deflate with age, leaving a hollow, drawn look.
YOUNIFY
Why choose YOUNIFY
Facial proportion
Facial aging comes from deep tissue and volume descending, not skin alone. A good lift repositions the SMAS muscle layer along the right vectors to restore the youthful triangle — rather than simply pulling skin tight.

Frequently asked questions
How long do results last?
SMAS lifting delivers long-lasting results over many years, though skin continues to age naturally.
Will scars be visible?
Incisions are hidden along the hairline and behind the ears and become hard to notice once healed.
How is it different from threads or HIFU?
A surgical lift addresses significant laxity precisely and lasts longer; non-surgical options suit early laxity.
Is recovery painful?
Tightness and swelling are expected at first and controlled with prescribed medication, improving within 1–2 weeks.
