Facelift, Neck Lift, and Upper Blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills: Natural Feminine Results
Before and after comprehensive facial rejuvenation including facelift, neck lift, upper blepharoplasty, lower eyelid chemical peel and fat grafting to the under-eye area, demonstrating natural jawline definition, smooth neck contour, and a refreshed appearance.
What procedures were performed
This case includes a combined facelift, neck lift, upper blepharoplasty, lower eyelid chemical peel, and fat grafting to the under-eye area performed as one comprehensive facial rejuvenation surgery. These procedures were performed together to restore the face as a unified system — refining the jawline and neck while simultaneously refreshing the eyes and midface for a balanced, natural result.
Comprehensive Face and neck Rejuvenation
This case demonstrates a personalized, anatomy-driven approach to facial rejuvenation, focused on restoring jawline definition, neck contour, and periorbital balance while preserving natural movement and the patient’s identity.
Facelift and neck lift surgery in Beverly Hills focuses on restoring underlying facial structure rather than tightening the skin alone. Modern techniques address the SMAS and deep tissues to achieve natural, long-lasting results that age gracefully. Adjunctive procedures such as eyelid surgery, fat grafting, and skin resurfacing are often incorporated to create a cohesive, balanced outcome.
A selection of representative cases is shown publicly. Additional results are reviewed privately during consultation at Ramly Plastic Surgery.
Patient Goals
The patient sought improvement in neck laxity and loss of jawline definition, along with a more refreshed and rested appearance around the eyes. A central priority was achieving a natural result without appearing tight, pulled, or overdone.
Anatomical Considerations
Examination showed skin laxity, platysmal banding, and descent of deeper facial structures contributing to deepening nasolabial folds and marionette lines, the appearance of jowls, submental fullness, and blunting of the jawline and cervicomental angle. In addition, there was upper eyelid skin redundancy and volume depletion and wrinkling in the under-eye region contributing to a tired appearance.
Procedure Overview
Facelift (SMAS-based elevation)
Neck lift with platysmaplasty
Upper blepharoplasty
Fat grafting to the under-eye region
Chemical peel to the lower eyelids and periorbital skin
Structural repositioning of facial and cervical tissues
Surgical Approach
A facelift using SMAS-based techniques was performed, combined with deep plane neck work to address platysmal banding and restore neck contour. Upper blepharoplasty was performed to refine the upper eyelids (learn more about eyelid surgery → https://www.ramlyplasticsurgery.com/browlift-and-blepharoplasty), while fat grafting restored volume to the under-eye region (learn more about facial fat grafting → https://www.ramlyplasticsurgery.com/regenerative-fat-grafting). A chemical peel was used to improve skin quality and texture of the lower eyelids.
The approach focused on repositioning underlying structures and restoring volume, rather than tightening the skin, to achieve a cohesive and natural result.

Upper Blepharoplasty and Eyelid Rejuvenation
Upper blepharoplasty and adjunctive under-eye treatment were performed to refresh the eye area, which plays a central role in how facial aging is perceived. This complements the structural improvements achieved in the lower face and neck.
Result
Postoperative results show improved jawline definition, a smoother and more refined neck contour, and a more rested, refreshed appearance of the eyes. Facial proportions remain natural with improved harmony and no visible tension or distortion.
Who This Is For
This type of comprehensive facial rejuvenation is appropriate for patients experiencing:
Loss of jawline definition
Neck laxity or platysmal banding
Upper eyelid heaviness or skin redundancy
Hollowing or tired appearance of the under-eye region
Limited improvement with nonsurgical treatments
When Nonsurgical Treatments Are Not Enough
In cases like this, nonsurgical treatments such as fillers or energy-based devices are not sufficient to restore structural support, correct eyelid skin excess, or achieve meaningful and lasting improvement in the jawline and neck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about facelift and neck lift surgery in Beverly Hills:
How long do facelift and neck lift results last?
Facelift and neck lift results are long-lasting, typically maintaining improvement for many years. Because the underlying deeper structures are treated rather than just the skin, results age naturally over time.
Will I look unnatural or “overdone” after a facelift?
Modern facelift techniques focus on restoring structural support rather than tightening the skin. When performed appropriately, results appear natural, with preserved facial movement and identity.
Why combine facelift and neck lift with eyelid surgery?
The face and eyelids age together. Addressing the eyelids at the same time allows for a more balanced and cohesive result, avoiding a mismatch between a rejuvenated jawline and a tired-appearing eye area.
What does fat grafting to the under-eye area do?
Fat grafting restores volume to areas of hollowing beneath the eyes, helping to create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek for a more rested appearance.
What is the role of a chemical peel around the eyelids?
A chemical peel improves skin quality and texture of the lower eyelids and surrounding cheek area, helping to refine fine lines and enhance the overall result of eyelid and facial rejuvenation.
When are nonsurgical treatments no longer enough?
When there is significant skin laxity or structural descent of facial tissues, nonsurgical treatments alone are not sufficient to restore jawline definition, neck contour, or eyelid appearance in a meaningful or lasting way.
Why choose a facelift surgeon in Beverly Hills?
Beverly Hills is known for a high concentration of experienced facial plastic surgeons and advanced techniques in facial rejuvenation. Choosing a plastic surgeon who specializes in facial anatomy and natural aesthetic results is more important than location alone.
What makes facelift and neck lift results look natural in Beverly Hills?
Natural results come from treating deeper facial structures rather than simply tightening the skin. Techniques that address the SMAS, platysma, and facial fat compartments allow for restoration of definition without creating a pulled or operated appearance.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for facelift and neck lift surgery in Beverly Hills?
Patients who experience jawline softening, neck laxity, or a tired appearance that is no longer responsive to nonsurgical treatments are often candidates for surgical rejuvenation. A personalized consultation is required to determine the most appropriate approach.
Is it better to combine procedures in one surgery?
In many cases, combining procedures such as facelift, neck lift, and eyelid surgery allows for a more balanced result and avoids staged recovery. The decision is based on individual anatomy and goals.
Philosophy
Facial rejuvenation is not about treating isolated areas—it is about restoring balance across the face. Addressing the face, neck, and eyes together allows for results that are harmonious, natural, and undetectable.
