Facial Procedures

Facial aging can affect the eyes, cheeks, jawline and neck in different ways. Surgical facial rejuvenation can address these changes while preserving your natural features and expressions.

Explore facelift, eyelid and neck lift procedures designed to create a refreshed, balanced appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Collis will recommend the approach best suited to your anatomy, goals and desired recovery timeline.

Facelift & Deep Plane Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

Facelift surgery helps improve visible signs of facial aging by tightening underlying facial tissues, improving jawline definition and reducing loose skin along the cheeks and neck.

At Health First Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in Melbourne, FL, Dr. Collis offers personalized facelift procedures designed to create natural-looking facial rejuvenation while preserving your unique facial features.

Facial rejuvenation procedures may improve:

• Jowls
• Sagging facial skin
• Deep facial folds
• Loss of jawline definition
• Neck laxity
• Midface aging

Mini Facelift (Lower Facelift).

A mini facelift, sometimes called a lower facelift, is a less invasive facial rejuvenation procedure designed to improve mild to moderate signs of aging in the lower face and jawline.

Mini facelift procedures typically involve:

• Smaller incisions
• Reduced downtime
• Earlier aging correction
• Jawline rejuvenation
• Subtle, natural-looking enhancement

This option may be appropriate for patients seeking refreshed facial contours with shorter recovery time.

Deep Plane Facelift.

A deep plane facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation technique that lifts and repositions deeper facial tissues beneath the surface of the skin to create smoother, more natural-looking results.

Unlike traditional skin-only facelift techniques, deep plane facelift surgery addresses deeper structural facial aging while helping avoid an overly tight or pulled appearance.

Deep plane facelift procedures may help improve:

• Significant jowling
• Deep nasolabial folds
• Midface sagging
• Neck laxity
• Advanced facial aging

Many patients choose deep plane facelift surgery because it can provide:

• Natural facial movement
• Longer-lasting rejuvenation
• Improved jawline contour
• Balanced facial harmony
• Personalized Facial Rejuvenation

Many patients combine facelift surgery with:

• Neck lift procedures
• Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
• Botox®
• Dermal fillers
• Skin rejuvenation treatments

During your consultation, Dr. Collis and his team will help determine which facial rejuvenation approach best aligns with your goals, anatomy and desired recovery timeline.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty, commonly called eyelid surgery or “bleph,” improves drooping eyelids, puffiness and under-eye bags to create a more refreshed, rested appearance. At Health First Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in Melbourne, FL, Dr. Collis offers upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures designed to restore natural-looking eye rejuvenation while preserving your unique facial features.

Many patients seek eyelid rejuvenation because the eyes are often one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging. Excess eyelid skin, puffiness and under-eye fullness can create a tired or heavy appearance even when you feel well-rested.

Blepharoplasty may help improve:

• Droopy upper eyelids
• Hooded eyelids
• Under-eye bags
• Puffiness beneath the eyes
• Loose eyelid skin
• Tired-looking eyes
• Wrinkles around the eyes

Incisions are carefully placed within the natural eyelid creases to help minimize visible scarring.

Upper Blepharoplasty (Upper Bleph).

Upper blepharoplasty, often called an upper bleph, removes excess skin and tissue from the upper eyelids to improve heaviness and restore a more open, refreshed appearance.

Patients commonly choose upper eyelid surgery to address:

• Hooded eyelids
• Drooping upper eyelids
• Excess upper eyelid skin
• A tired or aged appearance
• Difficulty applying makeup due to excess skin

Upper blepharoplasty can create a smoother upper eyelid contour while maintaining natural facial expression and eye shape.

Lower Blepharoplasty (Lower Bleph).

Lower blepharoplasty, also called a lower bleph, improves puffiness and under-eye bags by repositioning or removing excess fat and skin beneath the eyes.

Lower eyelid surgery may help improve:

• Under-eye bags
• Puffiness beneath the eyes
• Loose lower eyelid skin
• Hollow or tired-looking eyes
• Wrinkles beneath the eyes

Many patients choose lower blepharoplasty to achieve a smoother, more rested under-eye appearance without changing the natural character of the eyes.

Upper vs. Lower Blepharoplasty.

Both upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures address signs of aging around the eyes, but they focus on different concerns.

Some patients choose to combine upper and lower blepharoplasty for more comprehensive eyelid rejuvenation.

Blepharoplasty Recovery.

Most patients experience temporary swelling and bruising following eyelid surgery. Recovery timelines vary, but many patients return to normal daily activities within one to two weeks.

As healing progresses, patients often notice a brighter, more refreshed appearance around the eyes.

Neck Lift

A neck lift is a facial rejuvenation procedure designed to improve loose skin, muscle banding and excess fullness beneath the chin and jawline. 

Many patients begin noticing visible signs of aging in the neck before other areas of the face. Loose skin, a “turkey neck,” jowls and loss of jawline definition can contribute to an older or heavier appearance even when the face still looks youthful.

Neck lift surgery may help improve:

• Loose neck skin
• Excess fullness beneath the chin
• Double chin appearance
• Neck wrinkles and creases
• Muscle banding in the neck
• Jowls
• Loss of jawline definition
• Sagging skin beneath the jawline

What is a neck lift?

A neck lift, also called lower facial rejuvenation surgery, tightens underlying neck muscles and removes excess skin to create a smoother, more sculpted neckline and jawline.

Depending on your anatomy and goals, neck lift surgery may include:

• Removal of excess skin
• Tightening underlying neck muscles
• Jawline contouring
• Liposuction beneath the chin
• Facial contour refinement

Many patients combine neck lift surgery with facelift procedures for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation and balanced facial harmony.

Dr. Collis will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your goals and anatomy.

Neck Lift Recovery.

Recovery timelines vary depending on the extent of surgery and whether procedures are combined. Most patients experience temporary swelling and bruising following surgery.

Many patients return to normal daily activities within approximately two weeks, although healing and refinement continue over time.

Who may be a candidate for a neck lift?

You may be a candidate for neck lift surgery if you are bothered by:

• Loose skin beneath the chin
• A “turkey neck” appearance
• Early jowling
• Poor jawline definition
• Neck aging that does not improve with non-surgical treatments

During your consultation, Dr. Collis will discuss your goals, anatomy and treatment options to determine the best facial rejuvenation approach for you.
