What is a facelift and neck lift?
At Appel Wormer Esthetics in Charlotte, NC, Dr. James Appel and Dr. Blair Wormer specialize in a full range of facial cosmetic surgeries, including facelifts and neck lifts, to help you achieve a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. Whether you're targeting drooping features, fine lines, or specific areas like the eyes, cheeks, or jowls, Dr. Appel and Dr. Wormer offer customized solutions based on your skin condition, age, anatomy, and desired outcomes. If you're tired of hiding behind turtlenecks and scarves to conceal loose neck skin, our neck lift surgery can effectively remove a "double chin" or "turkey neck," reshaping and contouring the area for a more youthful profile. Using a combination of skin and fat removal and advanced tightening techniques, our team aims for natural, subtle, yet striking results. Contact us today to schedule your consultation, and explore the possibilities we offer.
What is Our Surgical Technique?
If you want to turn back the hands of time with a facelift, here are a few things to expect. Some facelifts rejuvenate the upper portion of the face while others focus on the middle and lower. Moreover, some techniques are a bit more invasive and intricate than others. It's very common for some individuals to have a brow lift, forehead lift, or BOTOX® and fillers to complement and enhance their results. Some of the more common facelift techniques include:
- Full Facelift
Considered the gold standard, the full facelift usually makes an incision along the hairline, extending down to the temples, stopping near the base of the ears. The deeper layer of facial muscles is gently stretched and securely tightened to produce a lifted outcome, which diminishes excessive lines and wrinkles. This facelift is reserved for individuals who show signs of aggressive aging. During a full facelift, many procedures may be used, including an eyelid lift to enhance the eyes or a neck lift for the lower region. - Lower Facelift (Neck Lift)
This particular facelift addresses the neck region, chin, and sometimes the jowls. Facial fat grafting is often combined with a facelift to augment facial atrophy.
Are you considering rejuvenating your appearance with a neck lift? During a neck lift procedure, general anesthesia is used. An incision is placed around your ears while another one might also be created beneath your chin. If isolated areas of fat exist, fat removal with liposuction would be the first step in the surgical process. Following that, any sagging or hanging skin will be trimmed away and the remaining skin will be pulled tight. This technique is conducted until the desired contour, shape, and smoothness have been achieved. Even though sutures are used, scars should not be visible since they were placed beneath your chin.
What Can I Expect After a Facelift and Neck Lift?
After a facelift and neck lift procedure in Charlotte, NC, many patients notice gradual improvements as swelling and bruising settle over the first couple of weeks. Because the procedure focuses on repositioning deeper facial structures while refining excess skin, the early healing period is typically centered on rest, light activity, and careful post-treatment care. Mild tightness or temporary numbness can occur as tissues adjust, but these sensations usually improve as recovery progresses. Our team helps ensure patients receive detailed guidance throughout each stage of healing, from the first days after surgery to the weeks when facial contours begin to look smoother and more refreshed. Most individuals begin returning to normal routines within a couple of weeks, while final results continue to refine over time as the face and neck settle into their newly rejuvenated appearance.
What are the benefits of a facelift or neck lift?
If you're experiencing signs of aging and desire a refreshed facial appearance, Appel Wormer Esthetics in Charlotte, NC offers a comprehensive approach to rejuvenation with facelift and neck lift procedures. Drs. Appel and Wormer provide these treatments, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits to men and women. A facelift at our practice can elevate the overall look of your complexion by addressing sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and a loss of facial contour while a neck lift can specifically target the neck and jawline for a smoother, more defined profile.

Am I A Candidate for a Facelift and Neck Lift?
Patients considering facial rejuvenation often wonder if the timing is right for surgery. At Appel Wormer Esthetics, our team takes a thoughtful, personalized approach when helping patients decide if a facelift and neck lift make sense for their goals. You may be a strong candidate if you are noticing sagging skin along the jawline, deep facial creases, loss of definition in the neck, or facial changes that no longer respond to nonsurgical treatments. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health, maintain realistic expectations, and want long-lasting improvement rather than temporary correction. During a one-on-one consultation, our team evaluates your facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic concerns to determine whether a facelift and neck lift can help you achieve a more refreshed, natural-looking appearance that still looks like you, just well rested and more confident.
