Combination Procedures: Why More Patients Are Pairing a Facelift with a Neck Lift

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, many people focus on tightening sagging skin, restoring definition, and maintaining a youthful appearance. However, choosing just one area of the face to refresh may leave others looking out of sync. More individuals are choosing to combine procedures for a more balanced, natural-looking result. At The Lanfranchi Center, Dr. Lanfranchi’s signature TLC Lift™—a lower facelift and neck lift performed under local anesthesia—offers comprehensive facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

What Does a Facelift Treat?

A facelift primarily targets the lower third of the face. Over time, the natural aging process causes skin and underlying tissues to lose elasticity and firmness. A facelift can:

• Smooth nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Lift sagging cheeks or jowls
• Improve jawline definition
• Reduce overall facial laxity

Dr. Lanfranchi’s lower facelift is customized to each individual’s needs, focusing on repositioning the deeper tissue layers to create natural, long-lasting results. The goal isn’t to change your face but to help you look like a more rested, refreshed version of yourself.

Why More Patients Are Pairing a Facelift with a Neck Lift

Although a facelift improves the lower face, it doesn’t fully address the neck. Loose neck skin, vertical banding, and fat deposits under the chin can create a contrast between a rejuvenated face and an aging neck. That’s why combining a facelift with a neck lift has become increasingly popular.

Dr. Lanfranchi’s TLC Lift™ addresses both areas in one procedure. By treating the face and neck together, patients enjoy:

• A seamless transition from jawline to neckline
• More dramatic, cohesive improvements
• Balanced, natural-looking outcomes
• The convenience of one surgery and one recovery period

Performed using only local anesthesia, the TLC Lift™ avoids the risks and downtime associated with general anesthesia while still providing powerful, rejuvenating results.

How Long is Recovery After a Combined Facelift and Neck Lift?

Thanks to Dr. Lanfranchi’s minimally invasive techniques and exclusive focus on facial rejuvenation, recovery from the TLC Lift™ is generally smooth and predictable. Most individuals can expect:

• Minimal discomfort, often managed with over-the-counter pain relief
• Return to light activities within 7–10 days
• Swelling that gradually subsides over 2–3 weeks
• Final results becoming more visible within 6 weeks

Patients appreciate that the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, eliminating the grogginess and extended recovery associated with general anesthesia. Dr. Lanfranchi and Team TLC also provide detailed pre- and post-procedure instructions to support optimal healing.

Can I Pair Other Procedures With a Facelift and Neck Lift?

Absolutely. In fact, combining procedures is often the best way to achieve full facial harmony. Patients frequently pair their TLC Lift™ with:

• Brow Lift – Elevates sagging brows and softens forehead lines
• Eyelid Lift – Refreshes the eye area by removing excess skin or fat
• Chin Augmentation – Enhances facial balance and strengthens the jawline
• Facial Fat Transfer – Restores lost volume using your body’s natural fat

Each additional procedure is carefully planned to maintain a natural look and avoid an “overdone” appearance. Because Dr. Lanfranchi exclusively performs facial procedures, patients benefit from focused expertise and a truly customized approach.
