What are Face and Neck Lifts?
Face and neck lifts are surgical procedures that rejuvenate the appearance of the face and neck by reducing sagging skin, wrinkles, and jowls. A facelift primarily targets the lower two-thirds of the face, including the cheeks, jawline, and neck. During this procedure, soft tissues of the face are lifted and repositioned to create a tighter and smoother facial contour.
A neck lift specifically addresses loose or excess skin that hangs from the neck or vertical bands.
Both procedures can involve incisions that are strategically hidden in natural creases or hairlines for minimal scarring. They typically require anesthesia and have varying recovery times depending on individual circumstances. Dr. Spalla is excited to be offering the MyEllevate minimally-invasive alternative at Philadelphia Facial Plastic Surgery & Medspa as an alternative for his patients.
Surgical Face and Neck Lift Options
Facelifts and neck lifts are usually performed surgically, and Dr. Spalla brings years of experience and precise skill to surgical facelifts and neck lifts.
Facelift. During a surgical facelift, Dr. Spalla will make careful, skillfully placed incisions. He’ll tighten underlying facial muscles, remove excess skin, and reposition fat compartments. This allows him to address jowls, deep creases around the nose and mouth, loose skin on the cheeks and jawline, and fatty deposits under the chin that may be making you look older than you feel.
Neck lift: During a surgical neck lift, excess fat may be removed through liposuction or directly excised through incisions made behind or below the ears. The platysma muscle bands in the neck may be tightened for a smoother look. Loose or excess skin is also corrected to reduce sagging.
Depending on individual needs and desired outcomes, these procedures can be done separately or combined to create comprehensive facial rejuvenation results.
Take a Nonsurgical Approach with MyEllevate
MyEllevate is a groundbreaking procedure that allows patients to obtain similar results without any incisions. This minimally invasive procedure uses a light-guided suture system to support tighter skin without the need for incisions. The recovery time is shorter compared to traditional surgery and the procedure causes less trauma to the body. Each MyEllevate procedure is tailored to your specific needs to create a natural, long-lasting look.

The result is a smoother, firmer complexion that can take years off a person’s appearance.

While there are many non-invasive options available for facial rejuvenation, such as injectables or lasers, they typically offer temporary effects. The only minimally-invasive option that offers long lasting effects is the MyEllevate system.
In contrast, the results from a well-performed face and neck lift can last for years before needing any touch-ups. This longevity makes it a worthwhile investment for those seeking long-term outcomes.Â
