Will I look like myself?

Yes. Dr. Schultz’s goal is to restore youthful vitality while preserving each patient’s individuality and natural expression.

Where are the incisions placed?

Facelift incisions are made around the ear and along the hairline; neck lift incisions are placed beneath the chin when needed. All heal discreetly and fade beautifully.

Is a facelift enough to improve my neck?

For the most natural rejuvenation, the neck is often treated alongside the face. This creates seamless transitions and avoids mismatched results between the two areas.

How long do results last?

Facelift and neck lift results typically last 10–15 years, depending on skin quality and lifestyle. While aging continues naturally, the improvement remains long-lasting and graceful.

Will my results look tight or pulled?

No. Dr. Schultz avoids tension on the skin by lifting the deeper structures. The result is smooth, natural rejuvenation without overcorrection

DR. SCHULTZ'S APPROACH

Dr. Kelly Schultz performs facelift and neck lift surgery with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and an eye for proportion. Her philosophy centers on restoring harmony and refining rather than changing her patient’s natural features.

By focusing on the deeper layers of the face and neck, rather than simply tightening the skin, Dr. Schultz achieves results that appear refined, smooth, and enduring. Her technique blends scientific precision with artistic sensitivity, producing outcomes that feel natural both in motion and at rest.

NATURAL REJUVENATION

Soft, balanced refinement that maintains authenticity.

ANATOMIC PRECISION

Repositioning deep tissue layers for lasting lift and smooth contour.

UNDETECTABLE INCISIONS

Concealed access points that heal discreetly and beautifully.

COMPREHENSIVE HARMONY

Treating the face and neck together for cohesive rejuvenation.

PERSONALIZATION

Tailoring every plan to the patient’s unique structure and aging pattern.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE

Facelift and neck lift surgery may be ideal for individuals who:

Notice sagging skin, jowling, or neck laxity or fullness

Have loose skin or banding beneath the chin or jawline

Feel their facial appearance looks tired despite feeling youthful and energetic

Desire refined, natural rejuvenation rather than dramatic alteration

Are in good health and have realistic expectations

Patients seeking more comprehensive facial renewal often combine these procedures with blepharoplasty or facial fat grafting to restore smooth transitions and youthful volume.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Dr. Schultz selects the most appropriate surgical technique based on each patient’s anatomy and goals. Her focus is on natural lift, refined transitions, and balanced proportions.

SMAS FACELIFT
Targets the deeper supportive layer beneath the skin (the SMAS) to lift and reposition facial structures, restoring definition to the cheeks, jawline, and neck.

DEEP PLANE FACELIFT
This advanced technique repositions the deeper facial tissues as a single unit, rejuvenating the midface and jawline with a natural appearance and longevity. It is ideal for patients with moderate to significant facial aging.

NECK LIFT
Always performed in conjunction with a facelift or as a stand-alone procedure, the neck lift refines the chin, jawline, and neck by tightening muscle bands and removing excess skin. Dr. Schultz may also perform gentle submental liposuction to enhance contour and restore youthful definition to the angle of the neck.

Each technique is carefully planned to achieve elegant, balanced rejuvenation while ensuring incisions remain discreet and scars heal beautifully.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Facelift and neck lift surgery are performed under general anesthesia and typically take three to six hours, depending on the scope of correction.

Incisions are discreetly placed around the ear, along the hairline, and beneath the chin if necessary. Through these incisions, Dr. Schultz repositions deeper tissues, tightens the underlying musculature, and re-drapes the skin gently for a smooth, refined result.

Patients return home the same day or after an overnight stay for comfort and monitoring.

RECOVERY AND HEALING

Dr. Schultz provides detailed aftercare instructions, including scar care and skin support recommendations, to ensure optimal healing and elegant long-term results.
