Facelift & Neck Lift in Colombia

Timeless Elegance, Naturally Restored.

A facelift (rhytidectomy) and neck lift (platysmaplasty) are surgical procedures that lift, tighten, and smooth the skin and underlying tissues of the face and neck to reduce sagging, wrinkles, and loss of definition. Typically performed under general anesthesia, these procedures restore a younger, refreshed appearance while maintaining your natural expression.

 

At iMedara, the facelift and neck lift go beyond rejuvenation they represent an artful restoration of balance, tone, and vitality.

How It’s Performed

The facelift (rhytidectomy) and neck lift (platysmaplasty) are often performed together to rejuvenate the lower face, jawline, and neck, restoring youthful definition and smooth contours.

 

Anesthesia & Preparation

The procedure is done under general anesthesia or deep sedation, ensuring full comfort and safety.

 

 

Incision Placement

Discreet incisions are made along the hairline, around the ears, and sometimes beneath the chin. These access points allow surgeons to lift and reposition underlying tissues, tighten facial muscles, and remove or redistribute fat for a natural, sculpted effect.

 

 

Neck Lift Integration

For the neck, loosened skin and platysma bands are gently tightened, improving definition and reducing sagging or fullness beneath the jawline.

 

 

Skin Redraping & Closure

The skin is then carefully redraped over the new contours  never stretched preserving a soft, natural expression. Fine sutures are used for minimal scarring.

 

Every plan is personalized. Our team will help you decide what combination best meets your needs.

Advanced Facelift Techniques We Offer

Where precision meets artistry for natural, lasting rejuvenation.

 

At iMedara, our board-certified facial plastic surgeons specialize in advanced facelift techniques designed to achieve refined, long-lasting, and natural results. Each approach is customized to your anatomy, degree of aging, and desired outcome ensuring rejuvenation that feels authentically yours.

 

1. Traditional SMAS Facelift

Known as the gold standard of facial rejuvenation, this technique targets the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS)—the deep layer responsible for facial structure and movement. By lifting and repositioning these tissues, the SMAS facelift delivers comprehensive tightening and restores definition along the cheeks, jawline, and neck.

Results are long-lasting, natural in motion, and ideal for patients with moderate to advanced signs of aging.

 

2. Deep Plane Facelift. For the Most Natural Results

The Deep Plane Facelift repositions the deeper facial layers—muscle, fat, and skin—as a single, unified structure.

By releasing underlying ligaments rather than pulling the skin’s surface, this technique minimizes tension and creates exceptionally natural, youthful contours.

It’s the preferred choice for patients seeking comprehensive rejuvenation with graceful, enduring results.

 

3. Mini Facelift & Mid-Face Lifting

A subtle yet powerful option, the Mini Facelift is designed for younger patients or those with early signs of aging such as mild jowling or loss of definition.

Using smaller incisions and requiring a shorter recovery time, this technique rejuvenates the lower face and mid-face area while preserving a fresh, effortless look.

It can be beautifully combined with fat grafting to restore volume and softness where needed.

 

4. Combination Procedures. Facelift with Neck Lift or Brow Lift

For complete facial harmony, many patients choose to combine their facelift with a neck lift or brow lift.

A neck lift refines the jawline and smooths lax skin, while a brow lift opens the upper face and brightens the eyes—together creating a balanced, rejuvenated appearance from every angle.

Combination surgeries not only enhance aesthetic unity but also reduce overall recovery time and cost, making them a popular and effective choice.
