Neck Lift

Like our face, our neck is the part of our body that first shows the signs of aging. Due to genetics, sun exposure, the loss of collagen and significant weight loss, the neck loses its firmer and youthful appearance. Sagging neck skin, neck banding, jowls, double chin, vertical lines and creases make patients unhappy and self-conscious about their look. However, these undesirable changes can still be improved with a neck lift surgery.

What is Neck Lift?

A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty or cervicoplasty, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the neck and restores jawline contour by lifting and tightening the skin and muscles, and removing excess skin and fat. Depending on the needs and desires of each patient, this surgery can be combined with a face lift or liposuction or performed alone. Usually, the incisions are placed behind the ears and are well hidden. Yet, sometimes an incision under the chin can be necessary.

Am I the ideal patient for Neck Lift?

Women and men who struggle with double chin, turkey neck, sagging skin and poorly defined jawline are the ideal patients for neck lift surgery. If you are in good overall health and a non-smoker who wants a more youthful and firmer appearance on your neck and jawline, a face lift can help you to restore the unwanted changes in those areas. If you are a smoker, you will need to quit it at least for a while, around the time of surgery, and for some time after the recovery.

Neck Lift Results and Recovery

During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will decide whether neck lift surgery will be performed alone or as part of another surgery, such as face lift surgery and liposuction. Neck lift surgery will be performed under general anesthesia and it takes usually 2-4 hours depending on the extent of your surgery. You will experience swelling and bruising after the surgery and you might have to stay one night in the hospital. Medications will be prescribed by your plastic surgeon to reduce the pain. Following the surgery, you should keep your head elevated while you are sleeping for the first few days to avoid swelling. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks. However, you will need some time to see the final results and rejuvenation of your neck and jaw. The scars that are well hidden will fade over time. As long as you take good care of your skin and maintain a healthy lifestyle, the results will be long-lasting.
