Aging is natural—but sagging skin, softening jawlines, and visible neck bands don’t have to define how you feel. Having trained with the world experts in facial rejuvenation, Dr. Rami Sherif performs customized face and neck lifts to smooth, tighten, and refine—restoring youthful definition with care. Using advanced techniques that manipulate the deeper layers of the face (the SMAS), Dr. Sherif creates elegant, long-lasting results that feel timeless. The facelift is commonly paired with fat grafting, eyelid, and brow procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. The outcome: a refreshed, rested appearance that still looks completely like you.

QUICK FACTS

Why consider a face or neck lift?

  • Restore a tight neckline, more youthful jawline

  • Smooth jowls and sagging in the lower face

  • Tighten lax neck skin and reduce vertical bands

  • Soften deep folds and lines without losing expression

  • Achieve lasting results beyond what non-surgical treatments can offer

Am I a candidate?

A face or neck lift may be ideal for you if:

  • You have visible signs of facial or neck aging, such as jowls or loose skin

  • You’re in good overall health and a non-smoker

  • You want natural-looking results, not an overly “pulled” appearance

  • You’re ready for longer-lasting rejuvenation than fillers or lasers can provide

Dr. Sherif's Approach

Dr. Sherif utilizes the most advanced techniques to achieve long-lasting, excellent results. By manipulating the SMAS, the supportive layers beneath the skin— a more durable and natural appearance is achieved. The skin is then gently redraped, not pulled, to avoid tension or distortion.

 

For the neck, Dr. Sherif addresses both surface laxity and deeper structures, such as muscle banding or excess fat.

 

Both macro and fractionated fat grafting are performed with each facelift to restore lost volume and blend junctions to create a smooth, youthful look. For some patients, Dr Sherif also recommends eyelid, brow, lip procedures, or lasers at the same time as the facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation. Whether you choose a full face and neck lift or a more focused procedure, you’ll experience a refined process with high-touch care throughout.

 

He prioritizes:

  • Deep layer manipulation for natural motion and long-term lift

  • Neck muscle tightening (platysmaplasty) to define angles

  • Strategic incisions hidden along hairline and under chin

  • Volume restoration with fat to reclaim your youth

Dr. Sherif will learn about your goals and desires. After obtaining a detailed health history, Dr. Sherif will perform a physical exam to determine the best approach for you.

Yes. The goal is a refreshed version of you. Dr. Sherif’s approach avoids overcorrection, preserving your natural identity and expressions.

Yes! Dr. Sherif is a firm believer that volume restoration is one of the pillars of successful and long last facelifting. Both macro and fractionated fat are used to selectively fill the fat compartments of the face. This does not create an overfilled look but rather meticulously restores volume to areas that have deflated. 

Many results last 8–12 years. You’ll continue to age naturally, but always from a more youthful baseline.

Scars are carefully hidden in natural creases—around the ears, along the hairline, and under the chin. With proper care (and Dr. Sherif's curated scar care recommendations) they fade beautifully.

Absolutely. Many patients maintain their results with skincare, Botox, and lasers once fully healed.

Yes definitely! Dr. Sherif commonly adds eyelid lifts, browlifts, lip lifts, lasers, and chemical peels to his facelifts when necessary and desired by the patient.
