FACE, NECK AND BROW LIFTS
-
There are several surgical procedures that are available to tighten the skin of the face, cheeks, and neck.
Depending on your needs as a patient, you should be able to select with your surgeon the type of procedure that
is right for you. Be sure your surgeon can show you several different surgical procedures and what they can do
for you.
-
Facelifts and necklifts decrease the excess fat under the chin, a double chin, and tighten the loose or sagging
skin of Cheeks, Jowls, Jawline, and Neck.
-
Dr. Gallico performs surgery on the neck and face as
several, different graded procedures to correct each
patient's different needs. The neck fat, double chin, can be removed by liposuction that may shorten the period
of recuperation.
-
If you are young and have excess fat under your chin (a double chin),
liposuction alone may provide the result
you want. This procedure can be combined with an augmentation of the chin to produce a more elegant line to the
chin, jaw, and neck. Dr. Gallico will be able to show you both in a mirror and through computer simulation what
possible results can be.
-
The effects of liposuction can be improved by tightening the muscle under the neck, which can be accomplished
by a small incision under the chin. This technique of "muscle sling", which was developed by Dr. Gallico,
will enhance the sculpture of the chin and jawline.
-
If you feel you are not yet ready for a "facelift", a necklift may be just right for you. This surgical
procedure will tighten the loose skin and folds under the chin and jaw without requiring the tightening of the
cheeks and mouth, which could produce a "too tight" appearance. Many plastic surgeons do not know how
to perform this surgery and will demand a full facelift. Not everyone requires a full facelift. A necklift may
be just right for you. Dr. Gallico will be able to show you what a necklift can do for you so that you may be able
to choose this simpler procedure.
-
Dr.Gallico's facelift is thorough, but
natural. The facelift is performed at three levels or layers, whereas
the conventional facelift includes only one layer. This "three layer" procedure allows optimal tightening
of the face and neck without creating the tight appearance of the cheeks and lips that occurs with the standard
facelift.
