Loose Facial Skin

Skin laxity (loose skin) is a common concern for patients with aging skin and is influenced by gravity, collagen loss, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors. At Paquet Facial Plastics x Biltmore Aesthetics, we offer comprehensive, personalized treatment options to address lax face and neck skin with natural-looking results that refresh your youthful appearance.

What is Loose Facial Skin?

Loose facial skin or skin laxity refers to looseness or sagging that develops as the supporting structures of the face weaken. Over time, collagen and elastin, the proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity, decline, leading to visible skin laxity, jowling, and loss of youthful contour. This can affect the cheeks, jawline, neck, and lower face, making the skin appear less toned and more aged.

Treatments for Loose Skin on the Face and Neck

At Paquet Facial Plastics x Biltmore Aesthetics, patients benefit from our combined expertise in surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. We offer the following treatments for loose skin:

Facelift/Neck Lift Procedure

Dr. Paquet often performs a combined face and neck lift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. During this surgical procedure, the deeper facial tissues can be lifted and repositioned to tighten loose skin, while removing excess skin and excess fat to restore a more youthful profile. This approach targets sagging in the lower face and jawline, smooths jowls, and refreshes overall facial contours with long-lasting results. Facelift techniques are customized based on your specific areas of concern.

Eyelid Surgery

Cosmetic eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is a specialized procedure specifically targeting loose skin around the eyes. During the procedure, Dr. Paquet will remove excess fat and skin from the lower and/or upper eyelids to restore a more refreshed, youthful appearance. Eyelid surgery can be performed alone or in combination with facelift surgery.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening with Microneedling

Microneedling can be an effective solution for patients with mild to moderately loose skin who prefer a non-surgical approach. Using tiny needles, the microneedling device punctures the skin and stimulates collagen production in the deep tissues to lift and tighten loose skin with subtle results. This procedure requires no incisions and minimal recovery, and results typically improve gradually over time as new collagen develops.

What to Expect from Loose Facial Skin Treatments

Treatment procedures and recovery times vary depending on the specific treatment being received. Surgical procedures typically involve more downtime and provide the most dramatic, long-term improvement, while non-surgical skin tightening offers gradual tightening with little to no downtime. During your consultation, we’ll review what to expect for your specific plan, including recovery timelines, results, and follow-up care. The severity of skin laxity and your medical history will be carefully considered to determine whether a surgical lift or non-surgical options will most safely and effectively meet your aesthetic goals.
