What Are Traditional Face Lift and Neck Lift?
A traditional face lift, also known as rhytidectomy, aesthetically improves the lower two-thirds of the face, including cheeks, jowls, and neck. The neck lift focuses on the area below your chin, and for many face lift patients, lipo in Tampa is used to remove excess fat deposits. These procedures together offer a more comprehensive improvement than the short scar face lift, which does not effectively resolve sagging skin on the jowls and neck but does result in a quicker recovery for most patients.
Many traditional face lift patients choose to combine their procedure with other facial sculpting procedures such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery to achieve a more complete result. Dr. Benedetti's artistic eye can help guide your decision about which combination of procedures will produce the natural, more youthful result you want.
Are These Procedures Right for Me?
Face lift and neck lift plastic surgery in Tampa Bay, Florida can enhance your natural attractiveness by restoring a youthful lower facial appearance that spans from below your eyes to your neck. Typical candidates are healthy women and men between the ages of 40 and 70 years.
Many satisfied patients attain youthful cheeks, a more chiseled jaw line, and a smooth neck. Dr. Benedetti's goal is for you to look naturally attractive for your age, not to make you look like someone else. He is practiced in subtle surgical techniques that will avoid a pulled, overly-tightened look.
Recovery after Face Lift and Neck Lift Surgery
You will need about 10 to 14 days to recover from traditional face lift and neck lift surgery. Most of Dr. Benedetti's patients are able to resume their regular daily activities, including work, about 2 weeks after surgery, though swelling and bruising can be expected to persist for about 4 to 6 weeks. The rewards of a more youthful facial appearance will last for many years to come.

Your face is one of your most noticeable features. Don't trust it to just any Tampa area plastic surgeon.
