Neck Lift

A neck lift is a surgical procedure used to permanently remove excess skin and reposition the muscles in the neck. A neck lift will improve the appearance of aging and loose skin in order to create a beautiful and defined neckline. A neck lift is frequently combined with a facelift.

A Permanent Solution to Loose Skin & Excess Fat

The neck can be one of the most telling signs of age. As we age, the skin in our neck begins to lose elasticity and collagen, and the once taught area between the chin and the chest, begins to droop, hang, and sag. In many instances this area will also hold a fair amount of excess fat. While there are some minimally invasive treatments to help improve the appearance of the neck, the most effective and permanent solution is the neck lift.

FAQs About Neck Lift

During your neck lift procedure, you will be placed under sedation anesthesia by a board certified Anesthesiologist. Small incisions will be made beneath the chin and behind the ears extending into the hairline. The sagging muscles are then tightened and excess skin is repositioned and removed. If necessary, the surgeon may tighten the central neck muscles by making small incisions under the chin. The surgeon may also remove excess fat during your surgery with liposuction. The removal of excess fat with liposuction creates greater definition of neck by improving the submental-neck angle. Your surgeon will finish the procedure by suturing the incisions and bandaging you properly.

Your surgeon will discuss aftercare and recovery with you in more specific detail, however, in general, patients should expect the following.

First 24 hours: Facelift patients may feel groggy or nauseous after surgery. The feeling should subside within the first 24 hours after surgery.

1 – 7 days: Some bruising and/or swelling should be expected. Your physician will discuss appropriate pain management techniques for during this time.

7 – 10 days: bruising and swelling should subside.

10 – 14 days: many patients return to work after 10 to 14 days of recovery.
