Neck Lift

A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. As we age, skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and excess fat accumulation. A neck lift can address these concerns, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Procedure

The neck lift procedure involves making incisions behind the ears and sometimes under the chin. Through these incisions, the surgeon tightens the underlying muscles, removes excess fat, and repositions or removes sagging skin. The result is a smoother, firmer neck contour.

Benefits

1. Improved Contour: A neck lift can significantly improve the profile, eliminating the appearance of a "turkey neck" or double chin.

2. Youthful Appearance: By addressing sagging skin and wrinkles, the procedure can take years off one's appearance.

3. Increased Confidence: Many patients report feeling more confident and satisfied with their appearance post-surgery.

Recovery

Recovery from a neck lift varies among individuals. Generally, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which subsides within a few weeks. Most patients can return to work and daily activities within two weeks.

A neck lift is an effective procedure for those looking to address signs of aging in the neck and jawline. It's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if this procedure is right for you.
