Top 5 Procedures for Full Facial Rejuvenation

As we age, the skin on our face and neck naturally loses elasticity, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and an overall tired appearance. Comprehensive facial rejuvenation combines various cosmetic procedures to restore a youthful look, addressing concerns like drooping skin, fine lines, and loss of facial volume.

Whether you’re seeking subtle enhancements or dramatic results, the experts at Newport Plastic Surgery offer a variety of surgical and non-surgical treatments that can refresh and rejuvenate your appearance. Here, we’ll explore the top five facial rejuvenation procedures: Facelift, Neck lift, Brow Lift, Eyelid Lift, and PDO Threads.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

A facelift is one of the most effective and comprehensive procedures for addressing significant signs of facial aging. By tightening facial muscles and removing excess skin, a facelift can help restore a more youthful appearance, particularly in the mid to lower face.

A facelift involves lifting and tightening the underlying facial tissues, repositioning sagging skin, and reducing wrinkles and folds. The surgeon makes incisions around the hairline and ears, carefully pulling back the skin to remove excess tissue. The deeper layers of the face, including muscles and connective tissue, are also tightened for a more natural and long-lasting result.

Benefits

  • Smooths deep wrinkles and creases
  • Repositions sagging skin and tissues for a firmer appearance
  • Enhances facial contours, especially around the jawline and cheeks
  • Provides long-lasting results that can last up to 10 years or more
  • Improves overall facial symmetry and balance

Best Candidates

Facelifts are best suited for individuals in their 40s to 60s experiencing moderate to severe skin laxity, sagging, and wrinkles. It’s ideal for those in good general health who want a more permanent solution to facial aging. Candidates should also have realistic expectations and be prepared for a longer recovery compared to non-surgical options.

Neck Lift

A neck lift is designed to address sagging skin, muscle banding, and excess fat in the neck, providing a smoother and more youthful neck contour. It’s often performed in conjunction with a facelift but can also be performed as a standalone procedure.

A neck lift involves small incisions behind the ears and under the chin to access and tighten the neck muscles and remove excess skin. In some cases, liposuction may be utilized to remove stubborn fat deposits. The result is a tighter, more defined neck and jawline that enhances the overall facial appearance.

Benefits

  • Removes sagging skin and tightens neck muscles
  • Reduces the appearance of neck wrinkles and bands
  • Defines and sharpens the jawline
  • Improves overall facial harmony when combined with a facelift
  • Long-lasting results with minimal visible scarring

Best Candidates

The best candidates for a neck lift are those with visible signs of aging in the neck, such as loose, sagging skin or neck bands. Individuals with “turkey neck” or excess fat under the chin may benefit from this procedure. Like facelifts, neck lifts are best for individuals in good health who want long-term results and are prepared for a recovery period.

Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)

A brow lift, or forehead lift, addresses the signs of aging in the upper third of the face, including sagging eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines. By lifting the brow and smoothing the forehead, this procedure can help create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

During a brow lift, the surgeon makes small incisions along the hairline to lift and reposition the skin and underlying tissues of the forehead. This smooths wrinkles, elevates the brows, and softens deep frown lines between the eyebrows. Depending on the patient’s needs, a traditional brow lift or a less invasive endoscopic brow lift may be performed.

Benefits

  • Lifts sagging eyebrows and opens up the eye area
  • Reduces forehead wrinkles and frown lines
  • Creates a more awake, youthful expression
  • Can be combined with other procedures, like an eyelid lift or facelift, for a more comprehensive rejuvenation

Best Candidates

The best candidates for a brow lift are individuals with sagging or drooping eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, or deep furrows between the brows. It’s an excellent option for those who want to improve the appearance of their upper face. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.

Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)

The eyes are often the first area of the face to show signs of aging, such as drooping eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags. An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, addresses these concerns by removing excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids.

An eyelid lift involves making small incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids to remove or reposition excess skin and fat. For the upper eyelids, the surgeon lifts and tightens the skin to create a more alert, refreshed appearance. For the lower eyelids, the surgeon can reduce puffiness and smooth wrinkles. Both upper and lower eyelids can often be treated during the same procedure.

Benefits

  • Reduces puffiness and bags under the eyes
  • Lifts drooping upper eyelids for a more youthful appearance
  • Smooths fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
  • Improves vision in cases where sagging skin obstructs the upper eyelid
  • Offers long-lasting results with minimal scarring

Best Candidates

Candidates for eyelid surgery are typically individuals in their 30s or older with concerns about sagging or puffy eyelids. The procedure is especially beneficial for those who feel that their eyes make them look tired or older than they are. Ideal candidates are in good health and do not have any medical conditions that could interfere with healing.

PDO Threads

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation that lifts and tightens sagging skin using dissolvable sutures. This procedure is a great alternative for individuals who want subtle improvements without the downtime associated with surgery.

PDO thread lifts involve inserting fine threads into the skin using a needle or cannula. The threads act as a support structure for the skin, gently lifting sagging areas while stimulating collagen production. Over time, the threads dissolve, but the collagen continues to support the skin, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.

Benefits

  • Minimally invasive with no need for incisions
  • Provides an immediate lift while stimulating collagen production for long-term improvement
  • Quick procedure with little to no downtime
  • Can be used on various areas of the face, including the jawline, cheeks, and neck
  • Natural-looking results that improve over time

Best Candidates

PDO thread lifts are ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a subtle, natural-looking lift without surgery. It’s best suited for those individuals in their 30s to 50s who are experiencing early signs of aging but are not ready for more invasive procedures like a facelift.
