Deep Plane Lower Face & Neck Lift in Thousand Oaks,
Serving Los Angeles and Ventura County
Why Choose a Facelift and Neck Lift?
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, leading to sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and a tired appearance, especially around the face and neck. A deep plane facelift (rhytidectomy) and neck lift (platysmaplasty) are surgical procedures designed to reverse these signs of aging by tightening and lifting the underlying muscles and removing excess skin. The following advantages highlight how a facelift and neck lift procedure can deliver stunning rejuvenation results:
- Tightens loose skin on the face and neck
- Reduces jowls and sagging skin around the jawline
- Smooths deep wrinkles and folds around the mouth and cheeks
- Enhances neck definition, removing โturkey neckโ or excess fat
- Delivers long-lasting results, with effects lasting for years
