Neck Lift

What is a Neck Lift?

A Neck Lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to restore a youthful, defined neck contour by addressing sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity. Over time, aging, genetics, and weight fluctuations can lead to the appearance of jowls, a double chin, or vertical neck bands. Unlike non-surgical treatments that offer temporary improvements, a Neck Lift provides long-lasting, natural-looking results by tightening and repositioning the deeper structures of the neck.

How is the Procedure Performed?

A Neck Lift is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure involves the following steps:

1. Incision Placement: Small incisions are made behind the ears and under the chin to ensure minimal visibility.
2. Muscle Tightening: The platysma muscle, which contributes to neck banding, is tightened and repositioned.
3. Fat Removal or Redistribution: Excess fat is removed via liposuction or repositioned for a smoother contour.
4. Skin Re-Draping: Loose skin is carefully trimmed and redraped to eliminate sagging while maintaining a natural appearance.
5. Closure: Incisions are meticulously closed to minimize scarring, ensuring a refined and youthful result.

Who is a Good Candidate?

A Neck Lift is ideal for individuals who:

• Have loose, sagging skin on the neck.
• Experience visible muscle bands or a "turkey neck" appearance.
• Have excess fat accumulation under the chin.
• Desire a more defined jawline and smoother neck contour.
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

Recovery & Results

• Swelling & Bruising: Most patients experience swelling and mild bruising for 7-14 days.
• Return to Work: Light activities can be resumed in 7-10 days, while strenuous exercises should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
• Final Results: Visible improvement appears within 4-6 weeks, with full results settling over 3-6 months.
• Longevity: Results typically last 10-15 years, depending on lifestyle and skincare habits.

Risks & Considerations

While a Neck Lift is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon, potential risks include:

• Temporary numbness or tightness.
• Minor swelling or bruising.
• Scarring, which fades over time and is well-hidden.
• Rare complications such as hematoma or infection.
