Face & Neck Lift in Myrtle Beach, SC

Natural-Looking Face & Neck Lift — Refreshed, Not Overdone

The face is often the first area to show the effects of aging. Over time, gravity, sun exposure, and the natural loss of collagen and facial volume can lead to sagging cheeks, jowls, deep facial folds, and loose skin around the neck.

A modern Face & Neck Lift is designed to restore youthful facial contours by repositioning the tissues of the face rather than simply tightening the skin. The result is a refreshed, rested appearance that still looks naturally like you.

At Aesthetic Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, Dr. Marcovici believes that the best facelift is one that doesn't look obvious. Every treatment plan is customized to your facial anatomy, goals, and lifestyle to achieve elegant, balanced, and natural-looking results.

A Difference You'll Appreciate

Dr. Marcovici performs Face & Neck Lift surgery using tumescent local anesthesia for appropriate candidates. This technique has helped his patients experience minimal discomfort, rapid recovery, little to no bruising, and, in his experience, no postoperative hematomas. Combined with meticulous surgical technique, it also allows scars around the ears to heal beautifully and become barely noticeable over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does a Face & Neck Lift last?
Although the aging process continues naturally, the improvements from surgery are long-lasting. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure can help preserve your results. How long your results hold their peak depends heavily on individual variables:

Skin Elasticity and Age: Patients who have the procedure done when their skin still has good baseline elasticity (often in their early 50s) generally experience longer-lasting outcomes.
Lifestyle Habits: Nicotine use and chronic UV damage drastically accelerate skin aging by breaking down collagen. Avoiding smoking and committing to medical-grade sun protection are crucial to protecting your investment.
Weight Fluctuations: Gaining or losing significant weight post-surgery stretches the skin and deep tissues, which can lead to early recurrence of laxity or a double chin.

2. Will I look unnatural?

No. The goal is to restore youthful contours while preserving your natural facial expressions and individual appearance.

3. Will scars be visible?

Incisions are carefully placed in discreet locations, often around the ears and hairline, where they typically become difficult to notice once healed.

4. Is a neck lift included?

Many patients benefit from treating both the face and neck together to achieve balanced, harmonious rejuvenation. Dr. Marcovici will recommend the most appropriate approach for your needs.

5. Can men have a Face & Neck Lift?

Absolutely. Men frequently seek facial rejuvenation to maintain a refreshed, energetic appearance while preserving masculine facial features.

6. Can I combine my facelift with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine their facelift with eyelid surgery, dermal fillers and fat grafting, laser skin resurfacing, or regenerative treatments to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

7. Why neck lift sags sooner that the face lift?

When a patient undergoes a combined face and neck lift, it is common to notice that the neck skin begins to relax or sag sooner than the facial skin due to distinct anatomical, mechanical, and lifestyle differences:

a. The skin on the neck is significantly thinner and has fewer oil glands than the skin on the face, making it more prone to aging and losing elasticity faster. When collagen and elastin naturally degrade post-surgery, this thinner tissue loses its snap back much more quickly.

b. Constant Mechanical Motion: While facial muscles animate your expressions, the neck is subjected to constant, heavy mechanical stress. The neck experiences a high degree of motion due to flexion, constantly stretching and folding with movements like looking down, turning, or bending. This repetitive daily stretching rapidly wears down the surgical tension achieved during your procedure.

c. Weaker Structural Support: The face benefits from strong retaining ligaments and a dense underlying bone structure that holds tissues in place. In contrast, the neck lacks these sturdy bony foundations and relies on fewer suspensory mechanisms. The main muscle of the neck, the platysma, is a thin sheet that naturally tends to separate and sag forward into vertical bands over time, dragging the overlying skin with it
