Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

A neck lift is a transformative cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging in the neck area. As individuals age, the neck's skin loses elasticity, causing sagging, wrinkles, and muscle banding that can create an older, less defined appearance.

Key Benefits of a Neck Lift

  • Increased confidence and improved self-image
  • Reduction of "turkey neck" and platysmal banding
  • Enhanced jawline definition
  • Removal of excess fat and loose skin
  • Restored youthful neck contours

Neck Lift Procedure in Fairfax, VA

Dr. Joseph Michaels, a board-certified plastic surgeon serving Fairfax, VA, and the surrounding areas, specializes in personalized neck lift procedures. The surgery involves strategic incisions, muscle tightening, and skin redraping to create a smoother, more refined neck profile.

Surgical Approach

During the procedure, Dr. Michaels carefully makes discreet incisions behind the ears or under the chin. He then removes excess fat, tightens underlying muscles, and trims loose skin to achieve natural-looking results.

Combination Treatment Options

Many patients choose to combine their neck lift with complementary procedures such as facelifts or dermal fillers to maximize facial rejuvenation. Dr. Michaels will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to normal activities within 7-10 days following the procedure. Temporary swelling and bruising are common but typically subside quickly. The result is a more youthful, defined neck and enhanced overall facial appearance.

Neck Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for a neck lift are individuals experiencing neck skin laxity, excess fat, or muscle banding. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Michaels will determine your suitability for the procedure.

For patients who are trying to schedule after weight-loss surgeries, you may be interested to know that the office will not even schedule a *consultation* until 1 year post-op. I was also told that when you call to schedule this consultation, the schedule is booked out for approximately another 1 year, which means that at a minimum, you will not be able to schedule a *consultation* until 2 years post-op. I totally understand needing to wait to take any kind of surgical *action* until 1-2 years post-op, with stabilized weight for a set period of time (3 months or so). However, I wanted a consultation to discuss the procedures the doctor thinks I might need, as well as to ensure I do everything possible to potentially get any kind of coverage by my insurance company for some of these upcoming procedures. Basically, I wanted to create a "game-plan," then schedule an appointment to prepare for the procedures themselves later on down the line (1-1.5 years post-op). The office told me I can't even call to set up the consultation until my 1 year post-op anniversary. They will not even schedule me on the calendar *after* my 1 year date if I *call* before the 1 year date.

Dr Joseph Michaels is the BEST. I traveled out of the state for him to operate on me and it was so well worth it. Also well worth the wait. He is genuinely the best Plastic surgeon. He listened to my concerns and wishes, he used his expertise and magical hands and was able to transform my body into what I dreamed of. I’m so happy with my results. I didn’t look like this when I was 16, Now I’m 49 and finally happy with my body and how I look. Thank you Dr Michaels for your giving me what I wanted and for making my dream a reality.
