About This Procedure
What Is a Face & Neck Lift?
A face and neck lift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that addresses the structural causes of facial aging rather than simply treating surface-level symptoms. As we age, the deeper layers of the face, the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), fat pads, and connective tissue, descend and lose volume, creating jowls, deep nasolabial folds, a loose neck, and a loss of jawline definition.
At IRIS Aesthetics in Longmont, CO, Adrianna Jensen, MD performs face and neck lift surgery using advanced deep plane and SMAS techniques that reposition these underlying structures to their youthful position. The result is a natural, refreshed appearance, never pulled, windswept, or overdone. As a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon with extensive surgical experience, Dr. Jensen brings exceptional precision and an intimate understanding of facial anatomy to every procedure.
Modern face lift techniques have evolved dramatically. Today's procedures produce remarkably natural results with shorter recovery times, less visible scarring, and outcomes that last a decade or longer.
