If
the skin on your face, under your chin or on your neck has begun to
sag, you might be an excellent candidate for a face and neck lift or
rhytidectomy. Dr. Severinac
considers a face and neck lift to be one and the same. The vector of
skin pull required to properly tighten the skin of the cheeks and neck
should be over the jaw and onto the cheeks, as well as toward the area
behind the ear.
Dr.
Severinac was the first in the region to offer the Threadlift and
Contour lifts. He found that although these procedures gave good
results, they only lasted one to two years because there was no skin
removal. He then combined the absorbable ribbons of the RibbonLift with
the face and neck lift and hence; the Ribbon Assisted Face and Neck
Lift. This procedure gave long lasting results. Dr. Severinac now uses
a combination of sutures to sustain a deep tissue suspension taking the
tension off the skin closure to give a long lasting result.
During
the procedure, discreet incisions are made along the side burns, and
around ears. The skin is elevated off the underlying tissues in the
cheeks and neck. Dissolving sutures placed to suspend and support the
deeper tissues in the cheek elevating the jowls and nek tissues. A
considerable amount excess skin is removed from the cheek and neck
from in front below and behind the ear. The skin is meticulously
repaired with under the skin fine sutures with minimal tension because
of the deep tissue suspension. Excess fat is often removed from the
jowls and below the chin with liposuction.
Dr.
Severinac places his incisions so they are inconspicuous even with the
hair pulled up. Facelifts are commonly performed in conjunction with
other surgeries such as forehead lift, eyelid lift, liposuction, and lip dermabrasion for even more beautiful results.
Local Anesthesia
Like most facial plastic procedures, a face and neck lift can be performed with oral sedation and local anesthesia saving time and cost!
