Neck lift
Rejuvenating surgery for a smoother, more defined neck profile.
A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging in the neck area. It targets concerns such as sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and muscle banding, which can contribute to a "turkey neck" or a less defined jawline.
During a neck lift, a skilled plastic surgeon makes incisions either under the chin or behind the ears, allowing access to the underlying tissues. The surgeon may remove excess fat through liposuction, tighten the muscles of the neck, and reposition or remove excess skin to create a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
The procedure can be performed on its own or in combination with other facial rejuvenation surgeries, such as a facelift or chin augmentation, to achieve optimal results. The goal is to create a more defined and youthful neck profile, restoring a smoother transition between the face and the neck.
Recovery after a neck lift involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications and proper post-operative care. Most individuals can resume their normal activities within two weeks, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a longer period.
A neck lift can provide long-lasting results, helping to improve the overall appearance of the neck and enhance facial harmony. It is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss individual goals, expectations, and potential risks associated with the procedure. The surgeon will evaluate the unique characteristics of the neck and recommend the most suitable approach to achieve the desired outcome.
