Neck Contouring Procedure Houston, TX | Rafi S. Bidros, MD, FACS

What is a Neck Lift?

Dr. Bidros offers neck lift surgery for Houston area patients seeking to address cosmetic concerns with their neck's appearance. The procedure targets sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and neck wrinkles through a precise surgical approach that removes loose skin and potentially uses liposuction to contour fatty areas.

Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery

• Smooths out wrinkles and skin folds under the chin
• Minimally invasive with discrete scarring
• Short recovery period
• Enhances self-confidence and facial profile

Neck Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for neck lift surgery typically have visibly loose, hanging neck skin caused by factors such as aging or significant weight loss. Patients should be in good physical health, at a stable weight, and seeking to address aesthetic concerns that cannot be resolved through non-surgical methods.

Surgical Procedure Details

Performed under general anesthesia, the neck lift procedure involves strategic incisions under the chin or around the ears. Dr. Bidros carefully removes excess skin, tightens underlying muscles, and reshapes the neck contour. Liposuction may be used to remove localized fat deposits, creating a more defined and youthful neck profile.

Recovery and Results

The neck lift procedure typically takes 1-2 hours to complete. Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling, with gradual improvement over several months. Most individuals can return to normal activities relatively quickly, experiencing enhanced neck aesthetics and increased self-confidence.

Neck Lift vs. Alternative Treatments

While nonsurgical treatments like KYBELLA can address minor neck concerns, a surgical neck lift remains the most effective solution for significant skin laxity and contouring. Dr. Bidros can determine the most appropriate approach during a personalized consultation.
