This low down-time facelift is ideal for those individuals with sagging tissues along the jawline and upper neck. It differs from most of the other ‘mini-lifts’ because it is not simply a skin suspension procedure or a simple SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) suturing procedure. The UpLift Facelift involves complex neck reconstruction with a muscle reattachment procedure, liposuction if needed, as well as tightening of the support system of the face (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system or SMAS) with a SMAS flap. Incisions are hidden inside the ear, around the earlobe, and under the chin.
The beauty of this procedure is that it offers dramatic results, with about a one to two week recovery. The UpLift™ is most commonly performed with intravenous anesthesia, and takes about 2-3.5 hours to perform.
Before & After Photos
The before and after photos demonstrate a sampling of the results of Drs. Agarwal and Maloney, and are for illustrative purposes only. Individual results may vary. Consult your physician about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits, prior to undergoing any procedure.
Dr. Anurag Agarwal, a Naples board certified facial plastic surgeon, has modified the traditional lower face and neck lift to develop the Uplift, which he feels offers an ideal solution for tightening the jawline and upper neck. This type of a facelift does not replace the need for an endoscopic midface lift or a lower face and neck lift in the appropriate patient. An individual consultation with one of our Naples plastic surgeons can help determine which procedure is ideally suited for your face, your budget, and your lifestyle – Contact our Naples Facelift Specialist today!
