Concerns about the jowls, jawline, double chin, and neck are top reasons Joplin patients come to Dr. Talon Maningas for anti-aging procedures. Because each patient has unique goals and needs, Dr. Maningas offers both surgical options—the classic facelift and neck lift combination—and non-surgical, which provides a different pathway to a younger-looking appearance.
Choosing the right procedure for (a) your concerns and (b) your lifestyle requires a thorough consultation. To help you get a sense of Dr. Maningas’ results with each procedure, we’ve outlined two lower face anti-aging options (plus the recovery times) and provided real patients’ before and after photos below.
Minimally-Invasive: FaceTite
Facetite utilizes skin-tightening, fat-melting radiofrequency energy to tighten the lower face and/or neck. This procedure is performed through very small incisions, rather than the lengthier incisions you would have during a surgical facelift, so it doesn’t require significant downtime—you will simply need to take it easy for a few days and wear a compression garment for best results.
This before and after shows what a single Facetite procedure can achieve in the submental area, also known as the “double chin.” This patient’s skin is tighter, leading to an overall refreshed appearance.

Surgical: Lower facelift + neck lift
A facelift in Joplin typically tightens skin in the lower face, jawline, and neck through incisions hidden within the ears. It is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia—you’ll be completely asleep, and it requires about 1-2 weeks of downtime from work and social activities afterwards.
The trade-off of downtime is typically worth it for patients who want a complete anti-aging transformation! The results of a well-done facelift look very natural (no tight, windswept look), while simultaneously helping you present about 10 years younger than you did before.
These before and after photos of Joplin cosmetic surgeon Dr. Talon Maningas’ patients show what a difference this procedure can make. (Note that the second patient combined their facelift with Co2 laser skin resurfacing to take the results one step further by lightening dark spots and smoothing fine lines around the mouth and neck areas.)
Age is just a number when you’ve got the power of a facelift on your side! Witness the incredible transformation and rejuvenation of facial rejuvenation by triple board certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Talon Maningas.
