Neck Lift California | Rahul Seth, M.D.

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift, medically known as platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and smooth neck skin, addressing age-related laxity. This transformative technique can dramatically improve a patient's overall facial appearance, often performed standalone or in conjunction with a facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Ideal Neck Lift Candidates

Candidates for a neck lift typically demonstrate the following characteristics:

• Good overall health
• Non-smoker status
• Adequate skin elasticity
• Targeting sagging skin and loose neck muscles

Surgical Technique

Dr. Rahul Seth performs neck lifts under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, typically requiring two to three hours. Incisions are strategically placed behind the ears or under the chin to minimize visible scarring.

Advanced Surgical Approach

Dr. Seth utilizes cutting-edge techniques including submandibular gland excision and anterior digastric muscle reduction. Depending on individual anatomy, the procedure may incorporate liposuction to remove excess chin and jaw area fat.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery typically spans two to three weeks, with patients often returning to work and social activities after two weeks. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and usually resolve within several weeks.

Recovery Milestones

• First 5 days: Wear elastic compression dressing
• 2 weeks: Resume light activities
• 4-6 weeks: Full physical activity resumed
• 6 months: Final results visible
