Neck Lift in Los Altos, CA

Understanding Neck Aging and Solutions

Aging often first manifests on the neck, with sagging skin creating visible folds and textural changes. These developments can significantly impact self-confidence and appearance. A neck lift offers a comprehensive solution to restore a more youthful, refined neck contour.

What is a Neck Lift?

Platysmaplasty, commonly known as a neck lift, is a surgical procedure designed to restore the neck's youthful appearance by tightening skin and muscles. The procedure addresses multiple concerns:

• Excess neck fat
• Sagging skin
• Visible neck bands
• Neck "wattle" or loose skin

Neck Lift Procedure Details

Performed as an outpatient procedure under twilight or local anesthesia, the neck lift involves strategic incisions behind the ears or under the chin. During the procedure, Dr. Mittelman carefully tightens neck muscles, removes excess fat and skin, and repositions tissues for a more defined appearance.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, which is managed with prescribed pain relief medication. Most individuals feel comfortable returning to normal activities within one week, with sutures typically removed or trimmed after seven days.
