What is the difference between a necklift and a facelift?

A necklift is a procedure that improves the neck contour, while a facelift improves both the neck and facial contours. Necklifts are typically done in patients aging from 37 to 47, while facelifts are done from the late 40’s and on. The reason being that after the mid-forties, the facial tissues start to descend in addition to the neck tissues. Thus patients in this age group are usually in need of a facelift.
