There are certain things that are inevitable in life, and the effects of aging on your face is one of them. Over the years we are subjected to sun, environmental pollutions and natural loss of elasticity as our skin gets older. The result is skin that is less firm and less able to renew itself. This causes wrinkles and sagging. Fortunately, we have some safe and innovative ways to help reverse the signs of facial and neck aging.
When you come to us for a confidential consultation, we will do a complete assessment of your skin type and condition, as well as an overall health assessment. This way we can offer you personalized face and neck lift options for the best results. You may be a candidate for a full lift, or one of the less invasive procedures.

Face Lift and Neck Lift
Aging of the face is inevitable—as the years go by, the skin of the face and neck gradually loosen and drift downward. The jaw line softens, jowls begin to form, and the “double chin” (along with vertical folds) begins to appear on the neck. Facelift surgery in Dr. Sinha’s Atlanta office can mitigate this harsh aging process and grant an attractive, fresh look, even as the years pass. A face and/or a neck lift allows thousands of patients a year to age on their own terms, by removing excess skin, sculpting the jaw and neckline, and restoring a more youthful position to the skin and underlying tissue.
Facelift, Neck Lift Candidates
Dr. Sinha, a double-board certified surgeon specializing in facial surgery, offers different types of facelift procedures to suit each patient’s needs. Skin type, ethnicity, individual healing, bone structure and desired expectations are all factors considered in planning the ideal facelift surgery. While a customized facelift or neck lift offers the most dramatic and long-lasting improvement for most, some patients find that Dr. Sinha’s non-surgical facelift options fit their needs best. Others elect to have a midface lift or brow lift. Mini facelifts, such as the “S-lift” which targets the mid-face, with less expense and less invasion compared to a full facelift, and the “J-lift” which addresses the lower face and neck, are also very popular techniques. These are all customized by a surgeon whose entire practice is devoted to the face.
Facelift, Neck Lift Procedure
When a facelift is in order to accurately address a patient’s needs and expectations, Dr. Sinha performs the surgery in an accredited and licensed ambulatory surgical center adjacent to his Atlanta office. Facelift incisions are hidden in the fold in front of and behind the ear into the hairline. During surgery, the skin, along with the deep tissue layer (SMAS), is repositioned to eliminate wrinkles and provide a long-lasting lifted look.
It is common for facelift patients to combine the procedure with a neck lift. Neck lift surgery can include liposuction (to remove fat), cervicoplasty (to remove excess skin), or platysmaplasty (to tighten neck muscles and smooth out unwanted band lines). Patients determine the specifics of their own neck lift through a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sinha in his Atlanta office. Both facelift and neck lift procedures are performed under general anesthesia.
Facelifts are often performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and chin liposuction, CO2 Laser Resurfacing and/or Botox Cosmetic® injections. Additional facial cosmetic surgery procedures can enhance overall rejuvenation results when performed in combination with a facelift or neck lift. Dr. Sinha communicates closely with each patient to customize a complete treatment plan that will best address individual concerns.
Recovery from a Facelift and Neck lift
A dressing is applied for a few days following facial plastic surgery and sutures are usually removed during the second week. Patients typically stay overnight after facelift/neck lift surgery, and are discharged the next morning to a responsible party. You cannot drive yourself home after facelift or neck lift surgery. There may be mild bruising or discoloration for a week or two following the procedure; an esthetician from the Atlanta Institute for Facial Aesthetic Surgery is available to help you apply camouflage make-up during the second week, in order to cover any bruising. Swelling is also common and should resolve within the first few weeks. The incision lines usually heal extremely well. As with any surgical procedure, Atlanta Institute for Facial Aesthetic Surgery will assist you in preparing to minimize swelling and bruising after the procedure.
Face lift: Making a Decision
The decision to proceed with facelift or neck lift surgery requires planning. As with all cosmetic surgery procedures, Dr. Sinha offers a confidential, comprehensive consultation to those who are considering a facelift or neck lift. These consultations provide patients with education, individualized procedure recommendations in line with personal medical history, as well as computer imaging to communicate results visually. Consultation also provides assistance with the financial investment of the facelift surgery.
Consultations determine whether a facelift is the ideal surgery for your needs, or if you would be better served by a midface lift, or non-surgical facelift alternative, like Thermage or simply Injectable fillers, or another cosmetic plastic surgery procedure. Please contact us to schedule your consultation and establish a procedure plan that exactly addresses your individual needs—and begin to age on your terms.
