When many patients consider facelift surgery, their primary concern is looking artificial or “overdone.” At Dr. Patronella’s practice in Houston, Texas, he uses a technique that addresses aging on a deeper level: the two-layer (dual plane) technique. This technique not only tightens the facial skin but adjusts and tightens the underlying facial muscles to provide the longest-lasting, most natural-looking results.
With his True Form Facelift® and neck lift, Dr. Patronella can address the most common facial aging complaints: sagging skin, deep creases and wrinkles, and a loss of muscle tone that causes a worn, tired appearance.
If you have wrinkles or sagging skin in the lower face, neck, or jowls, you will likely be a good candidate for facelift and neck lift surgery. Since every person’s anatomy and health history is unique, the best way to determine this procedure’s candidacy is to schedule a consultation with award-winning plastic surgeon Dr. Patronella.

How Is the True Form Facelift® and Neck Lift Performed?
Experience Other True Form® Procedures
Dr. Patronella has spent decades mastering facial and body contouring procedures to make groundbreaking techniques possible. True Form® procedures are a signature experience, offering patients the most high-end plastic surgery available.
True Form Body Contouring® achieves ideal aesthetic results and creates beautiful proportions and balance between the upper and lower body. Balance is a fundamental element of Dr. Patronella’s approach to body contouring. A well-balanced proportion appears healthier and more aesthetically appealing for both men and women. Dr. Patronella works closely with his patients to carefully evaluate, inform, and review the most suitable options. Dr. Patronella will also help patients develop long-term goals for maintaining their desired body proportions.
True Form Tummy Tuck® is a new approach to tummy tuck surgery that creates more desirable and authentic-looking tummy tuck results than traditional methods. True Form Tummy Tuck® patients can avoid some of the most common pitfalls seen in traditional abdominoplasty and enjoy advanced recovery methods.
Liposuction With the True Form Tummy Tuck® combines liposuction with the True Form Tummy Tuck® to enhance the waist and revitalize more attractive contours. With liposuction, Dr. Patronella focuses on reshaping more attractive contours rather than removing fat for size reduction alone. By receiving liposuction with True Form Tummy Tuck®, patients can achieve enhanced results with refined techniques and optimized safety measures.
True Form Breast Augmentation® advances traditional breast augmentation techniques by combining Dr. Patronella’s signature techniques with his meticulous approach to shape, placement, and size. True Form® breast surgery will provide you with the most natural and realistic breast augmentation possible.
True Form® Body Contouring For Men helps men of all ages achieve a stronger muscle definition and athletic tone. True Form® for men can enhance traditional methods for male body contouring to achieve artfully shaped contours and highly detailed corrections. For example, Dr. Patronella uses a procedure called liposculpture to create subtle ripples in the abdominal area by accentuating the underlying abdominal muscles.
Facelift and Neck Lift Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Patronella can combine the True Form Facelift® and neck lift with other procedures to create the ultimate facelift and neck lift results.
Non-surgical rejuvenation methods, such as cosmetic injectables, lasers, or chemical peels, easily combine with the facelift and neck lift to rejuvenate the skin, improving its tone and texture.
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) restores a younger, more alert appearance to the eyes.
Brow lift (forehead lift) surgery will correct a worn and aged appearance in the brow area, which descends and develops creases over time due to a loss of skin elasticity.
Patients must arrange for someone to drive them home after surgery and assist them with routine tasks for the first one to two days. Most patients take at least two weeks off from work, but some swelling is likely to be present for at least three weeks as the skin and tissues heal. There is some discomfort associated with surgery, but Dr. Patronella will prescribe medications to relieve any pain. Regular exercise typically can be resumed between six and eight weeks post-surgery.
Facelift and neck lift surgery will provide a noticeably more youthful facial appearance, especially when combined with non-surgical rejuvenation to improve the skin. The jowls will be reduced, and the jawline will appear smoother and more defined.
The initial results of facelift and neck lift surgery can last between five to ten years. Patients can help maintain their post-surgery results by periodically undergoing non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments, such as chemical peels, protecting their skin from the sun, using pharmaceutical grade skin-care products, and refraining from smoking.
Facelift and neck lift costs will vary from patient to patient and can only be determined after your needs have been evaluated during your consultation.
