“Dr. Lee is not only a great plastic surgeon but has the best bedside manner. I wanted a face lift for years but was so scared that I would not look like myself and look too pulled. I look rested and natural. I would recommend Dr. Lee to everyone who is wanting to look younger, brighter and more youthful but not overly done.”

One of the most common concerns among our patients is the “turkey wattle,” or loose, sagging skin under the neck. The skin becomes crepe-like and starts to sag, the jowls droop and the fat beneath the chin begins to balloon. In addition, the platysma muscles loosen and can start to draw attention, causing unattractive vertical banding.

A surgical neck lift in Los Angeles is an excellent way to reverse these natural aging effects, and creates a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance as well as improved self-confidence. Dr. Lee’s approach is conservative, but highly effective. Her facial rejuvenation surgery involves tightening the neck muscles, repositioning the deeper SMAS layers (submuscular aponeurotic system), trimming excess fatty tissue and skin, and sharpening the jawline to deliver an elegant, refined silhouette. Dr. Lee performs fat grafting with most procedures to further restore volume and structure to the face.

"Dr. Lee and her staff are professional, caring and sincerely interested in giving you the best results for your procedure. I knew from my first consult that I would choose Dr. Lee as my surgeon. She is warm and friendly yet very professional. She is very upfront about results/expectations which I very much appreciated. I breezed through my neck lift and would do it again if I had to! Thank you Dr. Lee!"

MYTH: RECOVERY IS PAINFUL AND LONG 

TRUTH: Facial rejuvenation patients typically find their surgery recovery to be overall much easier than expected. Most individuals will experience minor to moderate discomfort only during the first few days post-op, but severe pain is unusual. Patients can expect to be presentable at around 2 weeks and are cleared to return to work shortly after (with restrictions on strenuous activities until 1 month post-op).

MYTH: THERE’S A ‘RIGHT AGE’ FOR FACIAL REJUVENATION SURGERY

TRUTH: There is no perfect age for cosmetic surgery. Facial rejuvenation is personal and completely dependent on the needs and goals of each individual client. Some are ready for a face lift at age 35, while others choose to do it at 70. If you feel ready, then it’s the right time for you! 

In our experience, patients undergoing plastic surgery at a younger age have more time to enjoy the outcome of their investment. Additionally, younger clients are typically in better health, lowering the risks of surgery. Likewise, younger skin is more elastic and allows the results of surgery to be even more natural and gratifying. However, rejuvenation at a later age can often be just as enjoyable.

MYTH: COSMETIC SURGERY RESULTS ARE TEMPORARY

TRUTH: Facial rejuvenation results do not have an expiration date. The best way to think about it is as if you are turning back the clock on your appearance by 10-20 years. The results are immediate and permanent, however, gravity and aging will naturally continue to take its toll. At age 90, you will always look much younger having had a face lift than if you hadn’t. 

No one likes to hear that it may be time for a face lift or neck lift. However, we find that being as transparent as possible with our clients, sticking to standard terminology and clear treatment plans allows us to deliver the results our patients always dreamed of! To differentiate between a neck lift and a face lift, it is essential to understand that our face lift includes a neck lift––PLUS correction of mid-to-lower face sagging/wrinkles and jowls. A neck lift alone addresses the double chin/”turkey wattle”, neck bands and smooths the jawline. A full face lift corrects all of the above mentioned! 

• Improved wrinkles, jowls and marionette lines
• Correction of sagging, loose or crepe-like skin of the face & neck
• Tightened neck muscles and vertical bands
• Excess fat removed underneath the neck & chin 
• Refined, smooth jawline
• A natural, rejuvenated appearance
• Scars are almost imperceptible! 

A good candidate for any surgery should be of sound mind and body, with no major medical conditions that might interfere with the surgery or recovery. Patients should be non-smokers who are realistic in their expectations for their results. Dr. Lee suggests that a neck lift is an excellent solution for anyone frustrated with sagging, banding or wrinkling in the neck, flaws that are not easily concealed or improved by diet and exercise.
