Neck Lift San Diego, CA | John M. Hilinski, M.D.

Understanding Neck Aging and Rejuvenation

The natural aging process can cause neck muscles to become lax, skin to lose elasticity, and excess fat to accumulate around the chin and jawline. A neck lift is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to address these age-related changes, restoring a more youthful and defined neck contour.

Comprehensive Neck Lift Approach

Dr. John M. Hilinski's neck lift procedure combines platysmaplasty and cervicoplasty techniques to:

• Tighten neck muscles
• Remove excess skin and fatty tissue
• Eliminate jowls and "turkey wattle"
• Reduce the appearance of a "double chin"
• Enhance jawline definition

Neck Lift Benefits in San Diego

Patients seeking neck rejuvenation can expect significant aesthetic improvements, including smoother skin, a more defined jawline, and enhanced self-confidence. Dr. Hilinski's specialized approach ensures natural-looking results tailored to each patient's unique anatomy.

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery

Candidates typically include individuals experiencing neck sagging, excess fat deposits, and loss of neck muscle tone. Good candidates are in overall health, have realistic expectations, and do not smoke. A personalized consultation with Dr. Hilinski will determine individual suitability for the procedure.

Neck Lift Procedure Details

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia. Typically lasting 1.5 to 3 hours, it involves strategic incisions to access and tighten neck muscles, remove excess fat, and redrape skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately 10 days. A compressive bandage is worn to support healing and reduce swelling. Most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days, with final results becoming increasingly apparent as healing progresses.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients seeking less invasive options, Dr. Hilinski offers treatments like Profound RF skin tightening and targeted Botox injections to address mild neck aging concerns.
