Advanced Neck Lift in Miami, FL | Stuzin, James M MD

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

Many individuals in Miami delay facelift procedures, opting for injectable treatments to manage aging. However, these non-invasive approaches often provide limited improvement for neck aesthetics. A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, has become a popular solution for addressing neck-related aging concerns.

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift

Patients experiencing the following conditions are excellent candidates for a neck lift:

• Loose, sagging skin under the jaw line
• Excess neck fat
• Visible "turkey neck" or "turkey waddle" appearance

Neck Lift Surgical Technique

The neck lift procedure involves precise, strategic incisions that remain hidden from view. Surgeons make small incisions behind the ear and under the chin, allowing for comprehensive neck contouring without visible scarring.

Surgical Procedure Details

• Incisions placed behind the ear and under the chin
• Aging neck muscle is professionally contoured
• Excess neck fat is carefully removed
• Neck skin is tightened for a more youthful appearance

Recovery and Expectations

Dr. Stuzin recommends patients prepare for a structured recovery process. Most bruising and swelling typically subside within two weeks. Patients are advised to wear a compression neckband and limit vigorous physical activities during initial healing.

Typical Recovery Timeline

• 24-hour post-operative monitoring
• Compression neckband wear for several weeks
• Return to exercise routine around 2 weeks post-surgery

Transformative Results

A neck lift not only restores the neck's youthful contour but also enhances the jawline and lower facial region. Patients often experience a remarkable rejuvenation that appears natural and subtle.
