Facelift and Neck Lift in Nashville, TN
Facelift and neck lift surgery can transform your appearance by addressing visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Dr. Nneamaka Nwubah—Dr. Amaka— is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Nashville with extensive expertise in creating natural, refreshed results through customized procedures tailored to each patient’s needs.
Dr. Amaka’s Approach: The Deep Plane Facelift/Necklift
Facial aging is not simply about loose skin. Over time, the deeper structures of the face—including the muscles, fat compartments, and supporting ligaments—gradually descend. Addressing these deeper changes is essential to restoring youthful facial balance.
Dr. Amaka approaches facial rejuvenation with a focus on structural restoration rather than surface tightening. Through the deep plane facelift technique, the deeper facial tissues are carefully released and repositioned, allowing the midface, jawline, and neck to be lifted in a way that respects the natural anatomy of the face. Her goal is never to make a patient look different, but rather to help them look like a refreshed, rested version of themselves.
Each procedure is customized based on the patient’s anatomy, degree of aging, and overall aesthetic goals. In many cases, a deep plane facelift may be combined with complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or neck contouring to achieve harmonious, natural-looking results.
At Amaka Aesthetics, facial rejuvenation is guided by one principle: restore what time has changed while preserving the features that make you uniquely you.
How Are Facelift and Neck Lift Surgery Performed?
Dr. Amaka combines artistic skill with advanced techniques to achieve results that look refreshed, not “overdone.” During your consultation, she will assess your skin quality, facial structure, and personal goals to develop a treatment plan. Deep plane facelift and neck lift surgery are often performed in combination to ensure seamless, harmonious results:
- Facelift: This involves carefully placed incisions around the hairline and ears, allowing Dr. Amaka to lift and reposition underlying facial tissues. Excess skin is removed to provide a smoother, firmer appearance.
- Neck Lift: This procedure addresses loose skin and muscle bands in the neck area. It can include liposuction to remove excess fat and tighten underlying muscles, resulting in a more defined jawline and neck.
Both procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia, allowing you to remain comfortable throughout. Dr. Amaka’s meticulous approach ensures discreet incisions and minimal visible scarring, so you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting results. Dr. Amaka performs a deep plane facelift and neck lift to tighten the deep fascia and muscles of the face to ensure a smooth, refined, and long-lasting result.

After What Is Recovery Like After a Facelift and/or Neck Lift?
Recovery following a facelift and neck lift is a gradual process, but most patients are able to resume light activities within 1-2 weeks. Initial swelling and bruising are common and can be managed with prescribed medications and proper aftercare. Full recovery typically occurs over the course of a few months, as residual swelling subsides and final results become more apparent.
Dr. Amaka offers her exclusive Amaka Aesthetics Recovery program, which she designed to support a smooth, comfortable post-surgery experience while closing many of the “gaps” she identified in the aftercare process. This program includes post-operative care guidance on managing swelling and incision care, plus tips to optimize healing and reduce downtime. Scar management and recovery enhancement packages are also available to help promote exceptional results and Dr. Amaka has developed a unique silicone scar complex to this end.
Dr. Amaka and her team schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress closely, ensuring your results develop beautifully over time. Dr. Amaka’s recovery program also includes resources for maintaining your rejuvenated look, so you can enjoy the youthful, refreshed appearance you desire for years to come.
