Patient Details
If your neck bothers you most, the rest of your face is often aging along with it. Treating the neck alone can leave the jawline, cheeks, and temples out of balance. A customized plan that addresses the whole face can give a more natural, cohesive result, so everything looks refreshed together.
This 49-year-old patient first came in wanting to rejuvenate her neck. During her consultation, Dr. Joseph Cruise explained that her whole face was aging, not just her neck, and that a customized whole-face approach would give her the most balanced result.
Dr. Cruise performed a custom facelift, which lifts and repositions the sagging tissues of the cheeks and jowls, along with a neck lift to tighten the neck and define the jawline. He added a temple lift, which gently raises the outer brow to open the eyes, and fat transfer, which uses her own fat to restore lost facial volume.
“This is the best money I have spent in my life. I am 49 and I came to Dr. Cruise looking to have a rejuvenation procedure on my neck. After Dr. Cruise explained to me that having my whole face addressed with customized procedures would give me the best result, I decided to go for it! I appreciated his honesty about how my whole face was aging not just my neck. I ended up having a whole facial rejuvenation procedure and I could not be happier! You couldn’t ask for a better team in Dr. Cruise and his staff. They supported and guided me through the whole process and made everything so comfortable. Since the surgery, I am more confident and feel like I can do everything I did in my 20’s. I have the perfect natural look. I now look on the outside, how I feel on the inside; more vibrant, more alive, more like me!”
The result is a natural, refreshed look that still looks like her. Dr. Cruise has more than 20 years of experience in facial rejuvenation and is the author of “Aging on Your Terms,” and patients travel to the practice from across the country and around the world.
Wondering whether to treat just your neck or your whole face? Every face ages differently, so there is no one-size-fits-all plan. Dr. Cruise meets with you in person at our Newport Beach office to study your facial structure, hear your goals, and create a personalized plan with the right timing for you.
