Lower Facelift in Tampa 

Aging in the lower face and neck often presents itself as sagging skin, jowls, and loose muscles that weaken your profile and make you appear older than you feel. In Tampa, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Dean G. Davis offers lower facelift surgery—with or without a neck lift—to smooth wrinkles, refine the jawline, and restore a more youthful appearance.  

Board certified in both facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and otolaryngology (head and neck surgery), Dr. Davis is sought out by people from near and far seeking natural-looking facelift results, including Orlando, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Gainesville, and out-of-state patients traveling to Florida for plastic surgery

What Is a Lower Facelift?

A lower facelift focuses on the area from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline and upper neck. It repositions fat, tightens underlying muscles, and re-drapes the skin to correct jowls, deep folds, and loose skin. By addressing both the face and neck, Dr. Davis creates balanced results that complement the entire lower third of the face.

This procedure is often ideal for patients who want a more targeted approach than a full facelift in Tampa but desire longer-lasting results than injectables or nonsurgical treatments.

Why Trust Your Facelift to Dr. Davis? 

Dr. Dean Davis is a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Tampa with fellowship training and an exclusive focus on face and neck surgery. His reputation for natural results and meticulous care makes him a trusted choice for patients across Florida, including those seeking a top facial plastic surgeon in Orlando. He provides support and guidance throughout your transformation, prioritizing your safety and comfort at every step.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for a lower facelift and neck lift include people who:

  • Notice sagging skin along the jawline or chin (“jowls”)
  • Have deep creases around the mouth or nose
  • Experience loose skin or muscle tone in the neck (“turkey neck”)
  • Feel their appearance looks tired or aged, despite feeling youthful

During your consultation, Dr. Davis will assess your skin elasticity, facial structure, and goals to determine whether a full facelift, mini facelift, deep plane facelift, or a combination lower facelift with neck lift is right for you.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

Dr. Davis customizes each lower facelift to your unique needs. The surgery is performed under sedation or general anesthesia in his accredited Tampa surgical suite and typically takes 2 to 3 hours.

  • Incisions are discreetly placed around the ears or hidden in natural folds.
  • Fat and tissue are repositioned for a smoother contour.
  • Muscles of the face and neck are tightened for long-term support.
  • Skin is redraped without excessive tension for a natural appearance.

When combined with a neck lift, the procedure addresses sagging skin and banding under the chin, creating a refined neckline to match your refreshed lower face.

Recovery After a Lower Facelift

Most patients experience minimal discomfort, which is typically well-managed with medication. Swelling and bruising peak at about 72 hours and improve significantly within 2 to 3 weeks. Subtle swelling may take a few months to resolve.

  • To protect your results:
  • Sleep with your head elevated.
  • Avoid bending, twisting, or vigorous activity for 3 to 6 weeks.
  • Resume light activities after 1 to 2 weeks, with full recovery in 2 to 3 months.

Patients notice a more youthful, rested appearance with refined contours that lasts for years.
