Your Facelift & Neck Lift Surgeon
Dr. Renee Burke uses advanced techniques to create natural results that respect your facial structure. Her and her team are completely committed to your safety and outcomes. We invite you to meet the team that guides your experience with compassion and exceptional skill.

A Subtle Yet Beautiful Transformation
By lifting and reshaping the lower face and neck, we can help you feel elegant, refined, and naturally radiant.
Sagging skin or fullness along your jawline and neck can be disheartening, and we understand that feeling well. When nonsurgical options no longer feel effective, our lower face lift in South Barrington can enhance your natural contours with subtle yet striking results. Dr. Renee Burke performs this lift with expert artistry, restoring balance where fullness and laxity once disrupted your features.
The Facelift & Neck Lift Process

Consultation
In a private setting, Dr. Burke reviews your facial structure, skin elasticity, and areas of concern. After discussing your aesthetics and what feels out of harmony, she creates a personalized surgical plan. No matter what your goals are, we can lift, tighten, and redefine your jawline, neck, and lower face.

Procedure
Your surgery takes place under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility. Dr. Burke lifts and repositions facial tissues, removes excess skin, and defines the jaw and neckline. Every technique creates a soft, elegant outcome and restores balance without appearing pulled or unnatural.

Recovery
After surgery, your care team offers thoughtful instructions for rest and recovery. Pause strenuous movement for 2 weeks, and avoid driving while on pain medication. Most patients feel comfortable returning to daily activities after 2 to 3 weeks. You can ease back into exercise with confidence at the 4-week mark.
How We Perform Our Surgeries

Incisions follow your natural curves to support repositioning while preserving your facial balance and skin quality.
Dr. Burke lifts each contour with intention. Every outcome honors your identity and refines your features with subtle elegance.
You receive personalized care from start to finish. We listen closely, guide kindly, and celebrate your results with pride.
Pre-Care Instructions
Refrain from smoking, consuming alcohol, and taking blood-thinning medications in the weeks before surgery to reduce surgical risk.
Cleanse your face gently. Avoid makeup or active skincare ingredients on the day of your procedure.
Post-Care Instructions
Keep your head elevated to minimize swelling, use cold compresses as advised, and attend all scheduled check-ins.
For 2 weeks, avoid lifting, pushing, or bending. Allow your body to heal without pressure or physical strain.
Bruising and swelling improve daily. Your final results will reveal themselves gradually as tissues settle and refine.
