Advanced Precision, Customized Approaches, and Expert Care

Aging affects the face and neck in tandem, leading to skin laxity, muscle weakening, and volume loss that contribute to sagging, deep creases, and loss of jawline definition. Fairchild's combined face and neck lift strategically corrects these concerns in a single procedure, addressing both the superficial and deeper structural layers to restore youthful contours with precision and longevity. By tightening underlying musculature, repositioning fat deposits, and removing excess skin, she enhances facial balance while preserving natural movement and expression.

Dr. Berry Fairchild's Philosophy

While some cosmetic procedures can overpower your unique features, Dr. Fairchild believes in using subtle refinements to create more natural-looking results. By addressing both your face and neck in a single surgery, she can create smoother, more defined contours and achieve a graceful balance between the two areas. Using her meticulous attention to detail and surgical expertise, she will ensure you still look like you—only younger and more refreshed.

Specialized Technique

Dr. Fairchild employs advanced, multi-layered surgical techniques designed for long-lasting, natural-looking facial rejuvenation:

SMAS-Platysma Redefinition: The SMAS layer is lifted and repositioned to restore youthful facial contours without a tight or artificial look. Simultaneously, the platysma muscle is adjusted to smooth neck banding and enhance jawline definition—preserving natural movement and expression.
Deep Plane Rejuvenation: Dr. Fairchild’s deep-plane technique repositions deeper muscles and fat pads for a longer-lasting, natural lift with minimal skin tension and no over-pulled appearance.
Liposculpture & Fat Transfer: Excess fat under the chin is removed to sharpen the jawline, while micro-fat transfer restores volume to the midface and perioral areas for soft, youthful fullness.
Hidden Incisions for Seamless Healing: Incisions are discreetly placed along natural creases near the ear, hairline, and under the chin to ensure minimal visibility and optimal access for structural enhancement.

Should I Consider a
Face or Neck Lift?

If you are unhappy with loose, sagging skin and fatty deposits along the jawline and below the chin, fine lines and wrinkles, eyelid laxity, and other signs of aging on the neck and face, you may want to explore a combined face and neck lift.

Ideal candidates usually meet the following criteria:

Non-smokers in good overall health
Open to surgical solutions to address normal signs of aging
Seeking realistic, natural-looking results

During your consultation, Dr. Fairchild will assess your skin elasticity and facial anatomy to determine whether these procedures will suit your needs.

From Consultation to Results: Your Lift Journey

Your Consultation

Dr. Fairchild always begins with a 1:1 consultation where you’ll discuss your goals and concerns. She’ll also take this time to examine your facial structure and skin elasticity to help her prepare a customized surgical plan. She will answer your questions and ensure you feel comfortable and confident before you move forward.

Your Procedure

Using a customized surgical plan tailored to your unique anatomy, Dr. Fairchild will correct fine lines and wrinkles, tighten and contour the neck and jawline, eliminate sagging skin and excess fat, and address any other concerns in the areas extending from the bottom eyelid down to the lower neckline. As always, she will use the most minimally invasive techniques possible.

Your Recovery

Your recovery will depend on the complexity of your procedure, but most patients experience mild swelling and bruising that lasts for a few weeks. Dr. Fairchild aims to keep incisions concealed in your natural folds and hairline to help ensure they’re well-hidden as you recover and nearly impossible to detect after you’ve healed.

Aftercare

Dr. Fairchild will provide you with a personalized aftercare plan, which includes guidance on scar healing, skincare, and lifestyle habits to help support your results long term. Through regular follow-ups, she and her team will ensure you heal properly and enjoy your youthful, rejuvenated appearance for many years.

Pricing & Insurance

The cost of a combined face and neck lift surgery depends on the complexity of your procedures and the techniques necessary to achieve your ideal results. Dr. Fairchild will prepare a custom quote during your consultation and discuss all pricing details. Our team is always happy to answer your cost-related questions and help you explore available financing options.

Insurance Information

Because face and neck lifts are considered elective cosmetic procedures, they are usually not covered by insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my face look different after a combined face and neck lift?

No, the goal of this procedure is to restore a refreshed, youthful version of yourself—not to alter your natural appearance. Dr. Fairchild’s meticulous technique ensures subtle yet powerful enhancements that maintain your unique facial expressions and contours.

How long do the results last?

A combined face and neck lift provides long-lasting rejuvenation, with most patients enjoying their results for 10 to 15 years. While the natural aging process continues, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong your refreshed appearance.

How soon will I see results?

Initial improvements will be visible once swelling and bruising subside—typically within a few weeks. However, final results continue to refine over the next few months as tissues settle and incisions heal.

Will my scars be noticeable?

Dr. Fairchild strategically places incisions in natural creases and along the hairline to ensure they are as discreet as possible. Over time, scars fade significantly.

How does this differ from a mini facelift?

A mini facelift primarily addresses early signs of aging in the lower face and jawline, offering more subtle improvements with a shorter recovery. A combined face and neck lift provides more comprehensive rejuvenation, correcting deeper tissue laxity, excess skin, and sagging in the midface, jawline, and neck.

Can I combine this procedure with other treatments?

Yes! Many patients choose to enhance their results with complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lifts, laser resurfacing, or fat transfer to achieve balanced, harmonious rejuvenation.

How will I feel after surgery?

Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in the first few weeks, which gradually improves. Dr. Fairchild provides detailed post-op care instructions to support a smooth and comfortable recovery.
