Reasons for a Mini Facelift or Neck Lift Surgery | Plastic Surgeon's Opinion

[@reginapolo3357]

Thankyou for the candid, dramaless explanation. I have been researching a necklift because my neck laxity is inconsistent with my face wrinkles. I am 62 in great shape (still jog), and have good facial muscle tone

[@drkopelman]

Well if you are ever interested, I have patients from across the country who do virtual consults with me and then come in for surgery to my New York City office.

@@drkopelman thank you Dr. I will set aside time fir a consultation. Im overseas and will be in Florida in March

Excellent video doc! Thank you 😊

Thank you Doc, I appreciate it . Your video is very informative and helpful.

I've learnt so much from you thank you for your information ❤

Hi Dr Kopelman, does a neck lift tighten the jawline at all?

[@ms.p5183]

Good Afternoon!! I'm 54 and in good shape, and I noticed I have a double chin.I would love a neck lift how much do you charge for this?

[@drkopelman]

Depends the type of neck surgery is customized based upon the degree of skin laxity, muscle laxity, fat protrusion, and prominence of your submandibular glands so I am not trying to be evasive but we have to define the problems before I can quote you a price

[@asmatarmal8485]

Thankyou for the information i needed…

[@elizabethtorres4585]

The plastic surgeon I went to last said he does not use the drain bags. Is this acceptable? In Ohio!

[@cherylwhite2000]

Where are you located? I watch everything you have on surgery. Sitting here healing from abdiomplasy and breast lift. At 67, I thought about face lift 10 to 15 yrs will be the rest of my life.

[@drkopelman]

My main office is on Park Avenue in New York City. I also do visual consults that you can book.

[@margerykirner5604]

What would be the price for some of your procedures, and where do you stay after the procedures? If you go overseas for plastic surgery they usually have places to stay with nurses. Where would out of state patients stay in New York. Thank you❤

[@drkopelman]

@@margerykirner5604 We would help you arrange a hotel and nurse if necessary. We have patients who come from around the world and we help them with their accommodations.

If one wants to do Face & neck lift with platismaplasty. Also thinking about a mommy makeover surgery...which procedure shall be done first?

[@LS-qr7cm]

Can you tell us more about the price range of a good facelift?

[@drkopelman]

45k - 70k ideal range but Facelifts can be as high as 100k +

[@LS-qr7cm]

@@drkopelman wooh! That is a lot 😳 thank you for replying 🙏🏼

[@drkopelman]

@@LS-qr7cm Just keep in mind the amount of hours these cases take, the follow up and level expertise you should expect. That is why the prices are in that range.

[@yessssiiirrr]

I love this, I’ve lost a lot of weight and really sped up the sagging lol I’ll be 45 next year and the mini is perfect for me

[@drkopelman]

It sounds like you're a great candidate for a mini facelift, especially after significant weight loss, which can sometimes accelerate skin sagging. A mini facelift can target those early signs of aging by tightening the jawline and lower face, giving a refreshed and natural look without the more extensive recovery of a full facelift. At 45, it’s a fantastic option to address sagging and maintain youthful contours. I’m glad to hear you’re excited about it.

[@justeshort]

Do you recommend pts to get a mini neck lift when they first see signs of aging or wait until there is noticeable and/or significant skin laxity from collagen and elasticity reduction? Also what treatments do you provide with facelifts or neck lifts? Do you automatically incorporate PRP, PRF, and/or fat transfer/grafting with your lift procedures?

[@drkopelman]

If you don't have significant facial laxity I believe you can get a very nice improvement in your facial contours with a "mini-facelift"If you have significant flattening of facial contours or fat atrophy then I commonly recommend fat grafting as additional step. The grafting typically is performed on the same day as the facelift prior to the facelift procedure

[@susanlucas1125]

I'm 66 and notice my jaw line are dropping , do those infra red massage devices work to stimulate collagen production?

[@drkopelman]

I don't believe you will see a significant improvement with infra red massage

[@ma.analynernestine5482]

I hope i can afford that kind of lifting, Watching from Philippines.

[@laurafradkoff660]

About 20,000.00 US dollar

[@streamviolet]

Please clarify--are a necklift and a mini facelift the same thing?

[@drkopelman]

No , a necklift can be performed in isolation from upper facial lifting.Small incisions around the ears and below the chin. A "mini-lift" extends the incision upward along the contours of the ears and hairline and may include some neck dissection as well.

[@sashabrown752]

Cost for am min lift please?

[@patallojomom]

Mine coming up will be 14,000. This includes surgeon and hospital, vitamins, and a couple of post op visits. Lot more than I expected.😊

[@judcor7752]

​@patallojomom where and with whom you had your procedure?

[@itsgabegutierrez]

Neck lift at age 60 for turkey neck? I'm out of the age range?

[@AuthorAngieDeLisi]

How much do they cost?

[@drkopelman]

A facelift price could really range and it’s really based upon region and experience. But a great facelift should start around 30k and can go up to 100k. Everyone’s case is different and it’s really based upon many factors including whether you need to have other plastic surgery procedures at the same time including if you need facial fat grafting which is now very common and what I do in my practice when I do facelifts to address facial atrophy that we all develop as we age.

[@patallojomom]

Mine coming up will be 14,000. This includes surgeon, hospital, vitamins, and a couple of pre-op visit. Plus a couple of post-op visits. Cost a lot more than I expected. But my pictures don’t lie. It is time.

[@claudeduda3607]

Informations très intéressantes 👍

[@iStorm-my5fp]

What about a lower blepharoplasty? Does that remove wrinkles?

[@drkopelman]

A lower blepharoplasty certainly can help with wrinkle removal. But I would pair that with a laser treatment under the eyes. I have made a video on that. Encourage you to check it out.

[@iStorm-my5fp]

@@drkopelman thank you Dr, I will. And I appreciate all your educational and direct to the point videos

[@kathrynmcelroy5658]

Give anything to have a neck lift....what a diff it would make.

[@taniamoreno8972]

I’m going to be a young 60 yrs old in June. So, needless to say I kinda vain. I wish someone would do something for my face. I have several autoimmune diseases. Lupus, Sjögrens, MCTD. So no?

[@drkopelman]

I believe you can still have a facelift depending upon the severity of your underlying conditions but with added risks.

[@taniamoreno8972]

[@sandylewis8897]

Why do other surgeons say mini facelifts last 5 years?

[@drkopelman]

The longevity of a facelift is really dependent upon the patient, their habits and their genes but in general mini- facelifts imply limited dissection of the soft tissues of the face and therefore this technique probably? does not last as long.

[@SCHIRMERSHOOTS]

I need this 😅

[@drkopelman]

Come visit me for a consultation or virtually 😊

[@brooklynusa670]

I think I want a neck lift instead of face lift

Me too

[@AsjaTilerain]

How much is it cost for a neck lift? I'm 57 years old I'm a black lady.

[@drkopelman]

Prices really range from 30k-100k it’s on a per patient basis. Depends who you seek out for to do your neck lift / facelift.

[@jacquelinedouglas9714]

[@iStorm-my5fp]

What do you recommend for a 38 year old with mid face dropping? African American and have some smile lines (large checks + weight loss of 100 lbs)

[@drkopelman]

You might be a candidate for a mini facelift. But I’d have to do a virtual consultation to make a better assessment

[@rknoren]

At the 8:02 mark, how about having the model hold their head in the same posture. Come on guys.

[@InsightsAbroad]

What about bald men?

[@drkopelman]

You can still have a successful facelift if you are bald. I’ve done facelifts on many men who had limited hairlines or were completely bald.

[@olindabello1124]

Six months ago I had a face neck lift, some parts of my face and my neck they still numb and my neck has presented many unevenness under the jaw, I still have double chin and the skin is falling and I still have wrinkles. My surgeon is very disappointed with thecresult and he wants to redo the surgery again. what do you recommended me. , I am 70 years old. After the surgery, he removed the drainage the next day of surgery and never put a band wrapping around my neck and face like some surgeons recommend. Please I need your advice. Thank you
