Face Lift & Neck Lift
A Face Lift and Neck Lift are advanced cosmetic surgical procedures designed to rejuvenate the mid-face, lower face, and neck by lifting sagging tissues, tightening underlying muscles, and removing excess skin. Over time, aging, gravity, stress, and lifestyle factors can lead to jowls, deep folds, loose skin, and neck banding. These changes can make individuals appear older than they feel. Face Lift and Neck Lift surgery restores youthful contours, providing a refreshed and naturally lifted appearance.
At our centre, Dr. B. R. N. Padmini performs these procedures using modern, minimally invasive techniques that focus on repositioning the deeper layers of the face (SMAS) rather than just tightening the skin. This ensures long-lasting, natural results without an overly “pulled” look. The face lift addresses sagging cheeks, jowls, and deep nasolabial folds, while the neck lift targets loose skin, vertical bands, and excess fat under the chin.
Incisions are placed discreetly around the ears and along the hairline to keep scarring minimal and well-hidden. Depending on the patient’s needs, additional procedures like fat grafting, eyelid surgery, or a brow lift may be combined for complete facial rejuvenation.
Recovery typically takes 7–10 days, with bruising and swelling gradually improving. Most patients resume social and work activities within two weeks. The results are long-lasting, offering a more defined jawline, smoother neck, and revitalized facial structure.
With Dr. B. R. N. Padmini’s expertise and personalized approach, patients achieve naturally youthful results that enhance confidence and facial harmony.
