Facelift & Neck Lift Before & After Case 287

This patient sought a Facelift & Neck Lift in Santa Rosa because of concerns about the appearance of her lower face and neck, particularly from the side profile. She noticed increased sagging and visible banding on her neck. These changes, often caused by the separation of the platysma muscle, can significantly impact facial contours and contribute to an aged appearance. The patient decided to act early, knowing that these concerns would likely progress over time. She specifically hoped to achieve a more defined jawline and a smoother, lifted neck contour.

During her consultation, a comprehensive assessment identified that a deep plane facelift and neck lift would address the issues most effectively. Dr. Greg Chernoff performed the procedure using advanced techniques. He tightened the underlying platysma muscle with a method similar to sewing a corset, which helped restore natural jawline definition. Excess skin was then carefully removed to create a balanced, rejuvenated profile while preserving her natural appearance.

The above patient’s recovery proceeded as expected. At her follow-up visits, she reported that her initial goals had been met. The results now show improved neck contour and a firmer jawline, with the side profile looking smoother and more youthful.

Dr. Chernoff has extensive experience performing Facelift & Neck Lift procedures in Santa Rosa. He is triple board-certified, with advanced training and fellowships in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. His approach combines meticulous technique with individualized care, aiming for results that harmonize with each patient’s features.
