Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

Neck lift surgery is a sophisticated procedure designed to correct loose skin, vertical neck bands, and sagging jowls. The surgery removes excess fat, tightens underlying neck muscles, and eliminates excess skin to create a more defined and youthful neck and jawline profile.

Key Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery

• Remove excess fat deposits along the jawline and neck
• Eliminate "turkey neck" appearance
• Define and sharpen jawline contours
• Correct vertical muscle banding in the neck

Candidacy for Neck Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for neck lift surgery typically:

• Are unhappy with jowls or neck appearance
• Have not achieved satisfactory results from non-surgical treatments
• Are in good overall health

Neck Lift Procedure Types

Full Neck Lift

A comprehensive procedure involving incisions under the chin and behind the ears. The platysma muscle is tightened, excess fat is removed, and tissues are repositioned to create a smooth, defined neck and jawline.

Liposuction Neck Lift

Ideal for patients with good skin quality experiencing aging primarily due to excess fat. Small, inconspicuous incisions are used to remove fat and improve neck contours.

Procedure Preparation and Recovery

Patients should stop smoking six weeks before surgery and avoid anti-inflammatory medications. Post-surgery, patients can expect bruising and tightness that typically resolves within four to five days.

Procedure Longevity

Neck lift results are long-lasting when patients maintain a healthy lifestyle. Natural aging will continue, but significant improvements remain visible.

Complementary Procedures

Many patients combine neck lift surgery with facelift or brow lift procedures to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
