Neck Lift in Evans, GA | Manuel Medina, MD

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

A neck lift is a precision surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging in the neck region. The treatment eliminates unsightly wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls while tightening the throat and chin area for a more youthful appearance.

What Can a Neck Lift Accomplish?

The neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, targets multiple aging concerns:

• Tightens neck and throat muscles
• Removes fatty bulges along the jawline
• Eliminates jowls and double chin
• Reduces vertical banding and sagging skin

Age and Candidacy for Neck Lift

There is no ideal age for a neck lift. Patients are evaluated based on individual aging signs, including:

• Sagging neck skin
• Loose neck muscles
• Pronounced wrinkles

Procedure Details

The neck lift is performed under general anesthesia using small, strategically placed incisions hidden in natural skin folds. The procedure involves gentle muscle tightening, fatty tissue removal, and excess skin trimming to create a smooth, defined neck contour.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately four weeks. Initial weeks require limited neck movement, with compressive bandages providing protection and support. Most patients observe full results around four weeks post-procedure, with potential longevity of 10-15 years.

Neck Lift Versus Facelift

A neck lift can be performed independently or in conjunction with a facelift. While standalone procedures are possible, combining treatments often provides more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Surgical Approach

Incisions typically begin behind the ear, extend along the hairline to the lower scalp, with an optional incision under the chin. This approach ensures minimal, well-concealed scarring.
