Face and neck lift

Face and neck lift

Rejuvenation surgery for the face and neck that tightens sagging tissues for a natural, long-lasting result.

What is it?

The face and neck lift is the reference procedure for correcting sagging of the lower face and neck: a less defined facial contour, jowls, marionette lines, loose neck skin. It does not change the features but restores to the face the freshness and contours of a few years earlier. The modern technique works deep on the muscular layer (SMAS) and not only on the skin: this is what guarantees a natural result, without a frozen look or pulled features, and lasting hold over time. The scars are concealed around the ear and in the hair. The facelift can be combined, in the same operation, with other rejuvenation procedures: blepharoplasty for the eyelids, lipofilling to restore volumes, in order to achieve an overall harmonious result. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, the face and neck lift is performed by accomplished plastic surgeons, in a complete surgical setting, with a comfortable hospital stay in a suitable room and close post-operative follow-up through to full recovery.

When is it indicated?

Sagging of the facial contour and appearance of jowls

Over time, the contours of the face loosen and jowls appear; the facelift redraws a clean, rested oval.

Loose or crepey neck skin

When the skin of the neck loosens and wrinkles, the procedure gently tightens it for a smooth, toned neck.

Pronounced marionette lines

These folds running down from the corners of the mouth give a sad or stern look; correcting them softens the expression of the face.

Sagging cheeks and loss of facial volume

When the cheeks sag and the face hollows, the facelift repositions the tissues deeply and can be complemented by volume restoration.

Wish for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation

For those who want to look rested without changing their features, the facelift offers a discreet result that remains stable for many years.
