Facelift & Necklift
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Knoxville, TN

Our face and soft tissues undergo many changes. As we age, loss of elasticity, sagginess, thinning, loss of volume and sun damage can happen.
These changes result in the characteristic signs of an aging face:
- line and wrinkle formation
- jowls, down-turned mouth
- heavy cheek folds
- cheek flattening and descent.
With facelift surgery, you can grow older more gracefully by restoring the skin’s firm, youthful appearance. Facelift surgery can be performed on men and women. It is a personalized procedure for each individual. Depending upon the goals, the procedure can vary from a mini-facelift to a full face and neck lift. It is best to book a Facelift Consultation with Dr. Kerekes so he can guide you and recommend the right procedure to achieve your goals.
Facelift can not halt the natural aging of the body, but can certainly reverse the clock by many years to make you look more youthful. A facelift is plastic surgery for moderate to severe wrinkles that cannot be reduced with dermal fillers, injectables, medical spa treatments, and other conservative approaches. Dr. Kerekes uses modern facelift techniques to tighten specific areas of the face or the entire face, depending on the patient’s individual anatomy and anti-aging needs.

Full Facelift
Full Facelift is a comprehensive procedure. It is performed through a hidden incision located around the ear and hairline. More often than not it is performed alongside a neck-lift that aims to improve the appearance and contour of the neck and jawline simultaneously.
Mini Facelift
Typically candidates for a mini-facelift are somewhere between their late 30’s and early 50’s, with minimal to modest signs of aging in their necks also. A mini-facelift is called a ‘mini’ as it is performed through a shorter incision located around the ear, it is also significantly shorter in duration and as a result it is also less expensive.
Neck Lift
If sagging and laxity are limited to the neck area, a neck lift may be all that is required. But often Facelift and Neck Lift are done together. This procedure involves an incision under the chin, through which the excess fat is removed and the neck muscles are tightened. Excess skin also may be trimmed away to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. A neck lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with face lift or other facial rejuvenation procedures.
