Facelift & Neck Lift Before & After Case 46

This patient came to our office with several concerns related to facial aging. She was especially bothered by the visible banding on her neck, which appeared most pronounced in side profile photos. Although she did not have much fullness under the chin, the vertical neck bands contributed to an aged appearance that did not match how she felt inside. She also wanted to address the developing jowls, but maintained that she did not want her results to look tight or pulled. Additionally, she noted excess skin on her upper eyelids, which created a heaviness and occasional hooding, affecting both the appearance and comfort of her eyes.

After a thorough consultation, Dr. Greg Chernoff recommended a customized Facelift & Neck Lift in Santa Rosa to restore the patient's neck and jawline definition. He performed a lower face and neck lift focused on naturally smoothing the jaw contour and minimizing the neck bands. He also completed an upper blepharoplasty to remove the redundant skin over the eyes. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Chernoff used meticulous suturing techniques designed to produce thin scars with minimal tension. This approach helps prevent scar widening and allows for hairstyle versatility, an important consideration for this patient who frequently changes how she wears her hair.

The results seen here demonstrate a noticeable reduction in neck banding and improved jawline definition. The patient's upper eyelids appear more open and refreshed, without looking overdone. The surgical scars are discreet and well-placed, allowing her to feel confident whether she wears her hair long or short. She reports satisfaction with her rejuvenated yet natural appearance.
