Neck
Renew your lifted look
Revision surgery for a facelift or neck lift is commonly performed for three primary reasons. The most frequent is to address the ongoing effects of aging many years after a successful initial surgery. Revision surgery can also address and correct any previous results that were unsatisfactory, whether they are aesthetic or functional; these may include scars, nerve injury, or other changes in the shape, size, symmetry, or contour of the treated areas. In the third case, revision surgery may be even more straightforward, focused on providing minor adjustments to enhance the results of the initial procedure.
Key Benefits of Face & Neck Revisions
- Recapture Your Enhanced Look
Following successful surgery, touch up your improvements to counter the effects of the natural aging process. - Correct Imperfections
Address issues such as scarring or asymmetry from a previous procedure. - Improve Facial Harmony and Aesthetics
Optimize the aesthetic results of a previous facelift or neck lift to achieve an optimal look.
Persana Tip
Even though non-invasive facial rejuvenation procedures are generally safe and effective, they can make surgical face and neck lift surgeries more challenging by causing excessive scar tissue buildup in the underlying tissues. Be sure to inform your surgeon if you have had injectable fillers such as Radiesse® and Sculptra®, as well as non-invasive procedures such as radiofrequency therapy (Thermage, Morpheus8™, SylfirmX®), ultrasound therapy (Ultherapy®, Sofwave™), electromagnetic stimulation (EmSculpt® or CoolTone™) or fat dissolving injections (Kybella).
Smooth out fine lines.
Fine lines typically form due to genetic, environmental, and lifestyle influences. They are very common, forming as collagen and elastin fibers in the skin weaken over time, resulting in decreased skin elasticity and moisture retention. In addition to the natural aging process and inherent disposition, excessive sun exposure, stress, smoking, and poor nutrition can accelerate the development of fine lines. A range of effective treatment options can minimize their appearance, including injectables, facials, peels and laser therapy, as well as over-the-counter and prescription topical skincare products.
Key Benefits of Fine Lines Treatment
- Rejuvenate Your Complexion
Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet, for a more youthful look. - Boost Your Confidence
Combat signs of aging that can lead to emotional distress and lower self-esteem. - Look Refreshed Without a Long Recovery
Harness powerful approaches that can be completed as “lunchtime” procedures, requiring little if any downtime.
Persana Tip
The single most important thing you can do to prevent the formation of fine lines is to avoid excessive sun exposure and use appropriate, high-SPF sunscreens, even when it is cloudy or cold outside.
Recapture a more youthful look and feel.
“Menopause Makeover” is a catch-all term for a procedure or set of procedures that target areas of the body that change during the time of life when women undergo menopause, typically in their 40s or 50s.
Menopause significantly impacts the entire body composition such as an increase in abdominal fat and a decrease in muscle mass, as well as skin changes like thinning and decreased elasticity. The hormonal changes triggered by this natural process cause collagen loss, softening of cartilage, and weakening of bones, leading to issues such as drooping brows, lax eyelids, a less defined jawline, and deep-set wrinkles. Body shape may also change, particularly in areas such as the breasts and abdomen.
A range of procedures may be part of a treatment plan for issues related to facial appearance, including blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), chin implant, rhinoplasty (nose job), facelift, and neck lift. Procedures that address areas beyond the face include a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction.
Key Benefits of Menopause Makeover
- Rejuvenate your facial appearance
Combats effects of hormonal changes that can lead to drooping or sagging skin in the face and neck. - Optimize your body contours
Revitalize areas of the body, such as the breasts or abdomen, that have lost shape and definition. - Boost your self-confidence
Increase your self-esteem following a significant stage in life.
Persana Tip
During your consultation, ask about non-surgical options for rejuvenating your facial appearance. Though these are more temporary solutions, skin tightening treatments, skin resurfacing treatments and Botox® (as well as other injectables) can provide improvements, especially when the effects of aging are less pronounced.
Tighten your jawline and neck contours
The neck is a critical part of our bodies that can significantly influence our overall appearance and the visible signs of aging. Two main factors contribute to the aesthetic concerns in this area – our natural anatomy from birth and the effects of the aging process over time.
A “neck lift” procedure can address anatomical and age-related concerns by not only lifting the skin but also sculpting the underlying muscle, fat, glands, and bony structures to define the neckline. By targeting both inherent anatomical factors and the effects of the aging process, a neck lift can be an effective option for various people seeking a smooth, rejuvenated profile.
Key Benefits of Neck Lift
- Restore Jawline Definition
Develop a well-defined jawline, for a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial appearance. - Improve a “Double Chin”
Enhance the appearance of your chin by strategically removing excess fat, tightening the neck muscles, and addressing any laxity in the salivary glands, creating a more defined and youthful-looking neckline. - Soften Sagging Skin & Neck Bands
Tighten muscles and contour sagging skin, to minimize wrinkles for a more elegantly defined appearance.
Persana Tip
The face and neck are a continuum and intimately associated with one another. You should ask your surgeon if you should consider a facelift or deep plane facelift at the same time as a neck lift to obtain a more natural-looking aesthetic outcome and holistic result. Do not be surprised if your surgeon insists on combining these procedures, as addressing the neck alone may create disharmony or an imbalanced appearance between a rejuvenated neck and aging face.
Improve the contours of your neck
Neck liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from under the chin. This can be used to treat what is often referred to as a “double chin,” enhancing the contour of the neck and jawline. While some individuals seek this treatment due to the natural aging process, others may desire it earlier in life due to genetic factors. There are several different types of neck liposuction procedures that a plastic surgeon may use to achieve a streamlined and natural-looking result.
Key Benefits of Neck Liposuction
- Enhance Your Jawline
Create a more defined and youthful jawline by reducing fat in your neck. - Eliminate a Double Chin
Address an area otherwise resistant to change. - Rejuvenate Your Profile
Achieve a slimmer profile while restoring balance to your proportions.
Persana Tip
Neck liposuction primarily addresses excess fat. It doesn’t significantly tighten the skin. For concerns about skin laxity or the appearance of a "turkey neck," neck liposuction could potentially worsen the issue. Other procedures, such as a neck lift or non-surgical skin tightening treatments may be more suitable.
Get your glow back
Skin resurfacing and smoothing treatments encompass a range of non-surgical procedures that are designed to enhance the appearance of your skin. These treatments target a range of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, tone and texture, age spots and scars, pigmentation issues, and lack of elasticity in the skin. The common thread is helping you achieve a refreshed and revitalized look.
Key Benefits of Skin Resurfacing & Smoothing Treatments
- Rejuvenate Your Skin
Remove old skin and promote new growth for a younger, more refreshed appearance. - Reduce Hyperpigmentation and Target Discoloration
Address discoloration and age spots to reveal more even skin tone. - Improve Uneven Skin Texture
Reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, and enhance overall skin texture.
Persana Tip
With any aesthetic treatment, it’s always best to be specific when describing your goals, such as “I want to reduce wrinkles around my eyes”, “Smooth my skin texture”, “Even out my skin tone”, or “Improve my scarring or dark spots.” This can help tailor the treatment plan and make sure you walk away satisfied. That said, if you’re not sure exactly what you want and are open to guidance, general statements like “I want to look younger” are perfectly fine.
Gently rejuvenate your face
Skin tightening treatments refer to a range of procedures that aim to firm, lift and rejuvenate the face without surgery. They’re a popular option for those who want to enhance their appearance and address signs of aging but prefer a non-invasive approach. The results won’t be as dramatic as they would with a facelift, but these gentler procedures can be effective for Improving the skin tone and dealing with mild skin laxity, especially in areas such as the lower face and neck.
Key Benefits of Skin Tightening Treatments
- Tighten Skin Without Surgery
Improve mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or body without surgery or scars. - Look Refreshed with Minimal Downtime
Non-invasive treatments provide a “lifting” effect and can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. - Improve Skin Texture and Tone
Stimulate collagen and elastin to restore a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
Persana Tip
The results of non-invasive skin tightening treatments are never as dramatic or long-lasting as surgical facelifts, but many people find them to be a good alternative in part because of the minimal downtime. Recovery from these procedures is usually minimal and has little impact on your schedule, unlike surgical procedures that may require prolonged downtime.
