Top 3 Reasons to Combine a Facelift and Neck Lift in 2026

Facial aging rarely happens in just one area. Changes in skin laxity, muscle support, and volume tend to affect the lower face and neck together, which is why combining a facelift and neck lift continues to be one of the most effective approaches to facial rejuvenation in 2026. For many individuals, treating both areas at the same time leads to more balanced, longer-lasting results and a smoother recovery experience.

At the Lanfranchi Center, Dr. Lanfranchi specializes in the TLC Lift™, a refined lower facelift and neck lift performed under local anesthetic. This signature approach focuses on natural-looking improvement while prioritizing comfort, precision, and safety.

Below are the top three reasons many people choose to combine a facelift and neck lift rather than addressing each area separately.

1. More Complete and Natural-Looking Results

One of the most important reasons to combine a facelift and neck lift is harmony. The lower face and neck are closely connected anatomically, so improving one area without the other can sometimes leave results that look incomplete.

A facelift improves concerns such as:

• Sagging jowls
  
• Loss of jawline definition
  
• Deepening folds around the mouth
  

A neck lift targets:

• Loose or crepey skin under the chin
  
• Vertical neck bands
  
• Blunted or poorly defined neck contours
  

When these procedures are performed together, the transition from face to neck appears smoother and more youthful. The jawline looks sharper, the neck looks firmer, and the overall result appears more natural rather than pulled or mismatched.

Dr. Lanfranchi’s TLC Lift™ is specifically designed to address both areas cohesively, restoring definition to the lower face while refining the neck for a balanced, refreshed appearance.

2. One Procedure, One Recovery Period

Another major advantage of combining a facelift and neck lift is efficiency. Rather than undergoing two separate procedures with two separate recoveries, combining them allows you to heal once while achieving comprehensive improvement.

Benefits of a single recovery period include:

• Less overall downtime compared to staging procedures
  
• Fewer disruptions to work and daily activities
  
• One post-procedure care plan and follow-up schedule
  

Because the TLC Lift™ is performed under local anesthetic, many individuals also appreciate the shorter procedure time and reduced physical stress compared to traditional facelift surgery. Swelling and bruising tend to overlap between the face and neck, so healing both areas simultaneously often feels more manageable than people expect.

3. Longer-Lasting Results and Better Value Over Time

Combining a facelift and neck lift can also help maximize the longevity of results. Addressing the underlying structural changes in both areas at once allows for more durable improvement compared to treating only part of the aging process.

A combined approach helps:

• Improve skin laxity and muscle support together
  
• Reduce the need for future corrective procedures
  
• Maintain a youthful contour for years to come
  

By treating the face and neck as a unit, Dr. Lanfranchi is able to create results that age more evenly over time. This often translates to greater satisfaction and fewer touch-up procedures in the future.

Many individuals also view a combined facelift and neck lift as a smarter long-term investment. Rather than spacing procedures out over several years, addressing concerns comprehensively can offer greater overall value while delivering a more noticeable transformation.

Is a Combined Facelift and Neck Lift Right for You?

A combined approach is often ideal for individuals who notice:

• Sagging along the jawline and under the chin
  
• Loss of neck definition
  
• Skin laxity that cannot be corrected with nonsurgical treatments alone
  

During a consultation at the Lanfranchi Center, Dr. Lanfranchi evaluates facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine whether the TLC Lift™ alone or in combination with other procedures is the best option.

A Customized Approach at the Lanfranchi Center

No two faces age the same way. That is why Dr. Lanfranchi tailors each TLC Lift™ to the individual, focusing on natural enhancement rather than dramatic change. By combining a facelift and neck lift when appropriate, he helps individuals achieve refined, youthful results that still look like themselves.
