Advanced Neck Lift Birmingham, AL | Dr. William Hedden

Understanding the Neck Lift Procedure

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to improve the visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. This comprehensive treatment addresses multiple aesthetic concerns by targeting excess fat, skin relaxation, and muscular changes.

Conditions Treated by Neck Lift

• Excess fat deposits under the chin
• Loose, sagging neck skin
• Jowl formation
• Abnormal muscular contours
• Wrinkling in the lower facial region

Ideal Neck Lift Candidates

Dr. William Hedden evaluates candidates for neck lift surgery based on specific health and aesthetic criteria. Optimal candidates typically include:

• Individuals in good overall health
• Non-smokers
• Patients with realistic aesthetic expectations
• Those experiencing visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline

Surgical Approach in Birmingham, AL

Neck lift procedures at Hedden and Gunn Plastic Surgery are performed using advanced surgical techniques. Depending on individual requirements, surgeons may utilize traditional or limited incision methods to achieve optimal neck rejuvenation.

Surgical Technique and Recovery

The neck lift procedure involves carefully sculpting and repositioning underlying tissues, removing excess skin, and creating more defined neck and jawline contours. Patients can expect a comprehensive approach tailored to their unique anatomical characteristics.

Recovery Expectations

• Initial recovery period of 1-2 weeks
• Gradual reduction in swelling and bruising
• Final results visible within 3-6 months
• Minimal scarring with strategic incision placement

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Hedden may recommend combining neck lift with additional treatments such as brow lift or eyelid surgery to enhance overall facial rejuvenation results.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients seeking less invasive options, injectable treatments and laser therapies can provide subtle improvements, though they cannot match the comprehensive results of a surgical neck lift.
