The neck and jowls are typically the first areas to show early signs of facial aging. A “Next Day Lift” or modified facelift is a perfect option for patients from Decatur and Champaign, Illinois; Terre Haute, Indiana; and surrounding communities who are concerned with skin laxity in the lower face but do not yet require a complete facelift. With the Next Day Lift, our St. Louis plastic surgeons provide softer and more subtle results than with a traditional facelift.

Procedure Overview
The Next Day Lift is an in-office procedure that tightens and lifts the neck and lower half of the face with little downtime in most cases. This procedure is great for men and women who do not have much time to spare for their recovery, or for those who are looking for a more subtle change. People who desire substantial improvements or who want to address multiple signs of aging may benefit more from a traditional [link pid=39]facelift[/link].
Your Surgery
A Next Day Lift is usually performed under local anesthesia. Short incisions are placed discreetly and according to the patient’s needs. Through these small incisions, the underlying muscles are adjusted and tightened to reduce laxity.
Your Recovery

On average, a Next Day Lift has dramatically less bruising and swelling than a full facelift, although patient experiences vary. Any mild discomfort can usually be relieved using over-the-counter medication. Most individuals can resume work and normal socializing activities within 10-14 days. St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery provides detailed instructions for pre- and post-operative care to lessen the possibility of complications and promote healing.
Your Results
After a Next Day Lift, patients enjoy a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Skin sagging in the lower face is reduced and some facial creases may appear lessened. Additional improvements in the forehead and eyes can be achieved using a [link pid=45]brow lift[/link] or [link pid=47]eyelid surgery[/link]. While some patients are not good candidates for the Next Day Lift, others may be excellent candidates for another short recovery facelift such as the [link pid=39]MACS Lift[/link].
