01 · What it does
Lift, tighten, and remove what has gone slack.
Through small incisions at the hairline and behind the ear, Dr. Stone works on three layers: the muscles, the fat, and the skin.
The muscles, tightened
Facial muscles that have slackened are tightened. Jowls come from sagging, lax facial tissue, so this is where they are answered.
Jowls are a facelift question: a neck lift cannot tighten them. For the neck as well, see the Face & neck lift.
The fat, repositioned
Fat deposits are repositioned or reduced, softening the deep creases near the mouth and nose.
PRF or PRP can be added at the time of the procedure to support healing.
The skin, tightened
Excess skin is removed and the rest tightened, for a toned, youthful glow.
Good sun protection afterwards helps preserve the skin’s tone and texture.
02 · Who it suits
For marked signs of aging, at any age.
You should be in good health, not smoke, and have no condition that slows healing. Dr. Stone confirms it at your consultation.
If the neck is the main concern, the neck lift is its own operation. That is a normal outcome here.
03 · How it is done
At the hairline and behind the ear, in Dr. Stone’s own surgery center.
Under general anesthesia, Dr. Stone makes small incisions, often at the hairline and behind the ear, planned at your consultation around your anatomy and goals.
Through them the muscles and tissues are repositioned and tightened, and excess skin is removed if needed. PRF or PRP can be added to support healing.
The incisions are closed and you go home the same day, driven by a friend or family member. A follow-up is booked shortly after.
04 · Recovery
Home the same day, then two weeks of rest.
Ranges to plan around. Dr. Stone gives you the plan for your own face.
The day
Home the same day
Under general anesthesia. Someone drives you home, and a special local anesthesia keeps easing the pain once you are there.
A day or two
Drains out
Small tubes that drain excess fluid come out. Bruising, swelling, numbness and tightness are normal as you heal.
10 to 14 days
Rest at home
The first stage of recovery is at home. Take prescribed pain relief and antibiotics as directed; follow-up visits check dressings and sutures.
Up to ten years
The result lasts
Smoother, lifted contours that can last up to ten years, helped by sun protection, a healthy lifestyle and good skin care.

07 · Questions
Questions about the Easy Lift.
What are the possible complications?
Scarring, hematoma, injury to nerves, hair loss near the incision and, rarely, loss of skin tissue. Your surgical team follows current protocols to keep the risk low.
How long do the results last?
Up to ten years. Sun protection, a healthy lifestyle and good skin care help the result last.
Am I a good candidate?
If you are in good health, do not smoke and have no condition that impairs healing. Marked signs of aging, at any age, are the usual reason.
Can a neck lift fix jowls?
No. Jowls sit low on the face and come from lax facial tissue, so the facelift is the procedure that reduces them. For the neck itself, see the neck lift.
Can I combine it with other procedures?
Yes. It is often combined with a neck lift or blepharoplasty to address several areas at once.
What does it cost, and can I finance it?
Easy Lift fees are quoted to the case, after Dr. Stone examines your face at the consultation. Financing runs through Sunbit, and membership credit can be applied to a surgical fee. See Memberships.
