Dr. Ali Totonchi, a certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon from American Board of Plastic Surgery, is recognized throughout naionally and internationally for delivering refined, natural-looking results through advanced facial rejuvenation procedures. If you are seeking a more complete transformation, a full face and deep neck lift may be the ideal option.
Unlike traditional facelift or neck lift procedures (which primarily address either the lower face or surface-level neck concerns) a full face and deep neck lift targets all three facial regions (upper, mid, and lower) along with the deeper structures of the neck. This comprehensive approach enables Dr. Totonchi to restore a youthful definition across your entire face, achieving longer-lasting, more dramatic results.
Benefits of a Full Face and Deep Neck Lift
Patients who undergo a full face and deep neck lift can expect several benefits beyond what a standard facelift or neck lift typically offers:
- Lifts and tightens the cheeks, jawline, and neck in one combined procedure
- Improves deep neck structures by addressing the platysma muscle and removing excess fat
- Reduces jowling, deep nasolabial folds, and sagging in the mid-face
- Restores youthful angles and contours across the face and neck
- Provides more extensive and longer-lasting results than limited lifts
Who Is a Candidate?
This procedure is best suited for individuals who are experiencing more advanced signs of facial and neck aging (often in their 50s and 60s), such as:
- Significant skin laxity across the face and neck
- Heavy jowls and deep creases in the lower face
- Sagging in the cheeks or mid-face
- Prominent neck bands or a poorly defined jawline
Ideal candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and desire a comprehensive solution for aging without appearing overdone.
Procedure Details
A full face and deep neck lift is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes a few hours to complete. Dr. Totonchi begins by making carefully placed incisions around the ears and, in some cases, under the chin to access deeper tissues. These incisions are designed to be well-concealed along natural creases and hairlines.
For the deep neck portion, Dr. Totonchi addresses the platysma muscle, removes excess fat beneath the muscle layer if necessary, and may even sculpt the submandibular glands to refine the neckline. For the face, the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is repositioned to lift the cheeks, soften deep folds, and sharpen the jawline. Loose skin is trimmed and redraped for a smooth, natural result.
Full Face and Neck Lift Recovery and Results
Recovery may take a bit longer than with a mini or lower facelift. Most patients resume regular activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Swelling and tightness are expected and will improve steadily over time. Final results develop over several months and are known to last 10 years or more with proper skin care and a healthy lifestyle.
The outcome is a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance so that you look like a younger version of yourself — not a different person.
Cost of Full Face and Deep Neck Lift
The cost of this procedure varies based on the extent of correction needed and whether any complementary treatments (such as eyelid surgery or fat transfer) are performed. Dr. Totonchi’s team will provide a personalized estimate during your consultation and review financing options.
