Face and Neck Lift

Surgery to lift and firm sagging skin and soft tissue of the lower face and neck, softening jowls and loose folds for a refreshed, more youthful contour. At the Aleksandra clinic Dr Sidorowicz repositions deeper tissues and removes excess skin through incisions placed around the ears where scars are least visible. The quote covers dressings, compression garments and review visits.

A face-and-neck lift (rhytidectomy) addresses the sagging and laxity of the lower face and neck that develop with age, as skin loses elasticity and the underlying support tissues descend, producing jowls, deep folds and loose neck skin. Rather than simply pulling the skin tight, modern technique repositions the deeper layer of tissue and muscle to restore a natural contour, after which excess skin is trimmed and re-draped. Incisions are placed in inconspicuous lines around the ear and into the hairline, and the neck may be addressed through a small incision under the chin. At the Aleksandra clinic this is a major surgical procedure taking several hours, performed under appropriate anaesthesia, and the quoted price reflects the extent of work involved. A supportive dressing or garment is worn afterwards, and patients should expect swelling and bruising for two to three weeks, with sutures removed in stages over the first one to two weeks. The final result emerges as swelling fully resolves over the following weeks and months, giving a firmer, more rested jawline and neck; the effect is long-lasting though it does not stop ongoing ageing. The procedure suits adults with noticeable sagging of the lower face and neck that non-surgical treatments cannot adequately improve. Dr Sidorowicz assesses skin quality, the degree of laxity and general health, and explains the technique, recovery and realistic outcome before surgery.
