Face procedures.
Explore the changes you notice.
You may be considering a change around your eyes, jawline or neck. Explore what each procedure addresses, where their roles overlap and what to discuss with Dr. Movtchan.
Where should I begin?
Start with your concerns.
Choose the description closest to what you notice. Dr. Movtchan can help you understand which approach may fit your anatomy and goals.
-
“My eyes look tired.”
Heavy upper lids, lower-lid bags, or a lower brow can each contribute. They are treated differently.
Eyelid surgery -
“My jawline has softened.”
Lower-face laxity and jowls are usually discussed alongside the neck.
Deep plane facelift -
“I notice my neck most.”
Loose neck skin, banding, or fullness under the chin may be the main concern.
Neck lift

Before you decide
Consider the limits of surgery.
Surgery repositions and removes tissue. It does not change skin texture, fine lines, sun damage, or pigmentation, which may respond better to skin care or non-surgical treatment. Some concerns, such as early volume change, may not need an operation at all.
A consultation should include the option of waiting or doing nothing. Results vary, and no procedure stops aging.
Questions
Questions about face surgery.
Which procedure do I need?
Often more than one area contributes to what you see. A consultation examines the brow, eyelids, face, and neck together before suggesting an approach.
Can face procedures be combined?
Sometimes. Combining procedures can affect anesthesia time, risk, and recovery. Ask how a combined plan changes each of these.
Will I look different from myself?
The aim of most face surgery is to look rested rather than changed. Discuss your goals openly and ask what may and may not be realistic.
How long do results last?
Surgery does not stop aging. Results vary with skin quality, genetics, sun exposure, and health.
What about non-surgical options?
Injectables and skin treatments address different concerns from surgery. Ask which options fit what you notice.
