What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift, sometimes called neck lift surgery or a neck contouring procedure, addresses visible aging in the neck area. The procedure helps tighten sagging neck skin, remove excess fat deposits, and improve muscle tone. Unlike non-surgical treatments, neck lift surgery provides significant and long-lasting rejuvenation. Patients often choose this procedure to achieve smoother, firmer skin and a refined neckline.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery?
While many seek cosmetic improvements to their neck area, certain factors can make you a particularly strong candidate.
You may be an ideal candidate for neck lift surgery if you:
- Have noticeable sagging or loose neck skin
- Have excess fat beneath your chin or around your neck
- Experience visible muscle bands or lines on your neck
- Are generally in good health with no major medical conditions
- Are a non-smoker or willing to stop smoking well before and after surgery
- Have realistic expectations about your surgical outcomes
If these criteria align with your situation, scheduling a consultation with the best plastic surgeon for neck lift at Kirn Plastic Surgery Center can clarify the next steps. Contact Kirn Plastic Surgery Center today to arrange your assessment.
What to Expect During Neck Lift Surgery
Anesthesia is administered for your comfort during your neck lift surgery. We will make discreet incisions, typically behind the ears, under the chin, and in front of the earlobe. These small incisions tighten the underlying tissues and muscles, remove excess fat or redistribute it, and reposition the skin for optimal contouring.
Liposuction techniques may also be combined with your neck contouring procedure to enhance results depending on your specific needs.
Typically, a neck lift procedure takes approximately two to three hours, though this may vary depending on the complexity of your surgery.
Recovering after Neck Lift Surgery
After neck lift surgery, mild to moderate swelling and bruising are expected, usually subsiding within one to two weeks. You will receive clear post-operative instructions, including care for your incisions, medications to manage discomfort, and guidelines for a smooth recovery.
Patients typically return to daily routines within 10 to 14 days, but strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks. Regular follow-up visits with our expert team help guarantee your recovery progresses smoothly.
Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery
Choosing a neck lift can enhance your overall facial harmony by creating a well-defined jawline and smoother neck contour. Key benefits include:
- Dramatic improvement of sagging skin and excess fat beneath the chin.
- Improved muscle tone and structure, reducing the appearance of neck banding.
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results that complement your facial features.
- Boosted confidence and satisfaction with your appearance.
