A Viable Alternative to a Traditional Facelift Changes Rapid Lift

The Changes Rapid Lift was developed as an alternative to a traditional facelift procedure. It is designed for individuals with mild to moderate aging in the face.

With Changes Rapid Lift, patients can tighten the neck and jaw and remove loose skin that occurs naturally over time. They can also eliminate jowls, restore fullness to the cheeks, and address facial wrinkles caused by skin and muscle stretching and fat loss underneath the skin.

Changes Rapid Lift requires a limited number of incisions in comparison to a traditional facelift. It is performed under local anesthesia in our office and, as such, does not require expensive operating room and anesthesiologist fees. During Changes Rapid Lift, your surgeon re-suspends and supports the facial and neck fat and muscles and tissues back to their original position. They will treat loose skin and wrinkles in the lower half of the face and neck and tighten the jawline and neck profile. Finally, your surgeon removes excess skin to tighten and remove wrinkles and jowls, resulting in a rejuvenated facial appearance.

Enhance Your Facial Appearance with a Facelift or Neck Lift

As we age, we start to lose volume in our faces from fat atrophy; skin loses elasticity as collagen production diminishes, and the result is sagging facial skin and hanging skin of the neck. Facelift surgery, aka rhytidectomy, is designed to minimize these signs of aging around the face and neck. Neck lift surgery also referred to as a lower rhytidectomy, is designed to help improve the signs of aging along the jawline and neck. It frequently helps patients:

  • Reduce the appearance of excess fat and fatty deposits under the chin.
  • Eliminate loose neck skin.
  • Minimize banding in the neck that otherwise creates abnormal contours.

A neck lift also serves as a viable alternative for patients who do not want to receive a complete facelift.

Neck Lift Basics

The Neck Lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to address the visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. This comprehensive intervention targets excess skin, tightens underlying muscles, and removes or redistributes accumulated fat. The result is a smoother, more defined neck contour and a revitalized overall appearance.

Considering a Neck Lift?

Many patients choose a neck lift to improve:

  • Sagging or loose skin in the neck area
  • Vertical banding or muscle laxity (turkey neck)
  • Excess fat deposits or a poorly defined jawline
  • Overall dissatisfaction with the appearance of the neck
  • Embarrassment about the appearance of the neck

Real Patient Experiences

Doing this procedure was amazing

Doing this procedure was amazing because I didn’t have to go under general anesthesia, which I had experienced before and did not enjoy. The results from the Changes Rapid lift were absolutely amazing, the recovery was very quick, and I was back at work after 10 days... It was the perfect choice for me! Coming to Changes you just feel comfortable. You don’t feel pushed or scared, you feel calm and taken care of, which is exactly what you want going into a surgical procedure. My family and friends were all commenting that I look great, but they weren’t exactly sure what had “changed” ... and that to me was kind of magical. I couldn’t recommend the Changes more...

I absolutely love my results

I had a thyroid surgery in my 30’s that resulted in a scar on my neck. Over time it became more noticeable and I wanted to see if there was something I could do to get my scar to go away, and address the hanging area of skin just under my neck that comes with age. I found Changes and was immediately interested in the Changes Rapid Lift because the entire procedure is done under local anesthesia, I thought this would be easier to tolerate and a bit less scary. It was a painless and wonderful procedure. I was very comfortable, and I was actually able to talk to my doctor a bit during the procedure too. I absolutely love my results because they look natural and beautiful.
