01 · Planning

Assess which layer before the extent is chosen

Which layer has descended decides the operation.

Your surgeon separates whether your laxity comes from stretched skin, a descended SMAS layer, repositioned fat, or separated neck muscle. Each is corrected differently.

That assessment decides how deep the lift needs to go and whether the neck has to be included, which directly determines both recovery time and how long the result holds.

Pre-operative assessment is a planning aid. It illustrates an expected direction, not a guaranteed outcome.

What is a face & neck lift?

A facelift and neck lift tighten sagging skin and the underlying SMAS muscle layer to redefine the cheeks, nasolabial folds, jowls, and jawline for a firmer, more youthful look.

Your surgeon assesses skin laxity, fat volume, and facial structure to choose the level of lift (mini, lower, full) and plan incisions hidden along the hairline and behind the ears.

Concerns it addresses

01

Sagging cheeks / deep folds

Cheek tissue descends, deepening the nasolabial folds and tiring the face.

02

Jowls / blurred jawline

Skin and fat sag along the jaw, obscuring a clean jawline.

03

Loose neck skin / bands

Lax neck skin or muscle bands make the neck look aged.

04

Midface volume loss

Cheeks and midface deflate with age, leaving a hollow, drawn look.

SMAS Plication vs Deep Plane Lift

These two approaches differ in which tissue layer is lifted and where the tension is carried. Your physician assesses the degree of laxity before recommending the extent of surgery.

SMAS Plication vs Deep Plane Lift
SMAS plicationDeep plane
Primary goalTightens the SMAS layer with suturesRepositions the cheek by lifting the deeper tissue with it
MethodSuture plication of the SMAS layerThe SMAS and deeper tissue are lifted as one unit
StrengthLess swelling, a faster recovery, and a lower risk to the facial nerveRepositions the cheek further, looks natural and lasts longer, because the tension is not carried by the skin
Who it suitsMild to moderate laxity, particularly of the cheek and jawlineMarked laxity, deep nasolabial folds, or a descended cheek
Recovery timeShorterLonger, in proportion to how deep the plane worked

How we plan your result

Facial aging comes from deep tissue and volume descending, not skin alone. A good lift repositions the SMAS muscle layer along the right vectors to restore the youthful triangle, rather than simply pulling skin tight.

Lift the SMAS, not just skinRepositioning the deeper muscle layer gives a natural, long-lasting result.
Correct vectorsLifting against gravity along natural vectors avoids an over-tight look.
Restore volume alongside liftAdding volume where the face is hollow balances the overall contour.

Your planning options

Level of liftA mini facelift for mild laxity, or a full/lower lift for significant sagging of the face and neck.
SMAS techniqueLifting and tightening the deeper muscle layer, not just the skin, for a natural, long-lasting result.
Add-on proceduresSubmental liposuction, cheek augmentation, or a midface lift can be combined for balance.

Who is it for

  • Those with sagging facial skin and deep nasolabial folds
  • Those with jowls or loose neck skin
  • Those with a blurred jawline from skin laxity
  • Those in good health with realistic expectations

If your weight is not stable yet, start here: our weight management team can help you reach that point first, and contouring is planned once your weight has settled.

03 · Technique

How deep the lift goes and whether the neck is included

The deeper the layer treated, the longer the result holds, and the longer the recovery.

Medical illustration: SMAS plication

SMAS plication

The SMAS layer is sutured back into position without extensive deep dissection.

Benefits: Less swelling, faster recovery and lower risk to the facial nerve.

Suitable for: Mild to moderate laxity, particularly of the cheek and jawline.

Medical illustration: Deep plane

Deep plane

The SMAS and cheek fat are released and moved as one unit, rather than pulling skin and deep layer separately.

Benefits: Repositions the cheek further, and the result looks natural and lasts longer because the tension is not carried by the skin.

Suitable for: Clear laxity, deep nasolabial folds, or a descended midface.

Medical illustration: Neck component

Neck component

The separated platysma muscle is tightened and submental fat addressed, through a small incision under the chin alongside the incisions behind the ear.

Benefits: Corrects neck banding and an indistinct chin-neck angle, which a face-only lift cannot reach.

Suitable for: Visible neck bands, or a poorly defined angle between chin and neck.

Frequently asked questions

How long do results last?

SMAS lifting delivers long-lasting results over many years, though skin continues to age naturally.

Will scars be visible?

Incisions are hidden along the hairline and behind the ears and become hard to notice once healed.

How is it different from threads or HIFU?

A surgical lift addresses significant laxity precisely and lasts longer; non-surgical options suit early laxity.

Is recovery painful?

Tightness and swelling are expected at first and controlled with prescribed medication, improving within 1–2 weeks.

After major weight loss, should I have my face or my body done first?

There is no single rule. The order depends on which change affects you most, on your general health, and on how much anesthesia each stage needs. Face and body are usually planned as separate stages, and a face and neck lift, being a smaller operation than most body lifts, is sometimes done first. In either order, your weight should be stable first, because further weight loss changes the face as well as the body. Your surgeon sets out a staged plan at consultation, and each stage is reassessed before it is scheduled.

How long should I plan to stay in Bangkok after a face and neck lift?

After major or combined surgery, most international patients plan to stay in Bangkok for about 10 to 14 days for wound checks and suture removal. Your surgeon reviews you before clearing you to fly, so please book a flexible ticket.

Do I need a neck lift, or is neck liposuction enough?

It depends on whether the problem is fat, loose skin, or the neck muscle. If the skin is still firm and the concern is fullness under the chin, Neck Liposuction, starting from THB 59,000 per area, may be enough. Where the skin has loosened or vertical bands have appeared, a Neck Lift, starting from THB 188,000, tightens the platysma muscle, removes excess skin, and often includes liposuction under the chin in the same operation.

Can eyelid surgery or fat transfer be done at the same time as a face and neck lift?

Facial fat transfer can be combined with a face and neck lift in suitable patients, to restore volume that a lift does not replace. Upper eyelid surgery is often better assessed once the lift has settled, as a separate session, because lifting the face and brow changes how much eyelid skin needs removing. Facial Fat Transfer starts from THB 50,000, and Upper Blepharoplasty from THB 50,000. Your surgeon confirms which combination suits you.

Is there a right age for a face and neck lift?

There is no set age. The decision depends on the degree of skin and tissue laxity, your general health, and what you would like to change, rather than on the number. Patients who have lost weight quickly sometimes notice laxity earlier than they expected. Your surgeon assesses whether a lift, a smaller procedure, or a non-surgical option suits you better.

How much does a face and neck lift cost in Thailand?

At YOUNIFY Clinic a face and neck lift starts from THB 219,000, and a midface and neck lift from THB 238,000. Your price is confirmed in a written quotation before any deposit.

What is the difference between a facelift and a face and neck lift?

A facelift lifts the cheeks and jowls. A face and neck lift also tightens the neck muscle and removes loose skin under the jaw, so the jawline and neck are treated as one line.

Is a face and neck lift deep plane or SMAS?

Our surgeons perform both deep plane and SMAS facelifts, and both start from the same price. Your surgeon explains which technique suits your face and why.

When can I go back to work?

Most people return to desk work after about 2 to 3 weeks, when bruising has settled. Your surgeon advises you at your review.
