What is a neck lift?
A neck lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck area by addressing common signs of aging such as sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding. At Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery, this procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and fat, while tightening the underlying muscles to restore a smoother, more contoured neck and jawline.
By making discreet incisions under the chin or behind the ears, our skilled surgeons can achieve dramatic yet natural-looking results with minimal scarring. A neck lift not only enhances the appearance of your neck but also improves the overall harmony of your facial profile, helping you look refreshed and youthful.
Am I a candidate?
A neck lift is ideal for individuals seeking to enhance the appearance of their neck and jawline by addressing common aging concerns. Candidates for this procedure typically include those who:
- Have sagging or loose skin around the neck and under the chin
- Experience excess fat or “double chin” that doesn’t improve with diet or exercise
- Notice muscle banding or prominent vertical lines on the neck
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results
- Are non-smokers or are willing to quit smoking before and after surgery for optimal healing
If your skin is relatively smooth and firm, but you have an accumulation of excess fatty deposits beneath your chin and /or along your jawline, liposuction may be all that is needed to restore a smooth, defined contour to this area.
What can I expect during a neck lift procedure?
During a neck lift at Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery, patients can expect a carefully orchestrated procedure designed to deliver smooth, natural-looking results. Performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, the surgery typically involves making small incisions on the underside of the chin or around the earlobes. Through these incisions, our skilled surgeons will remove excess fatty deposits via liposuction, and then tighten the underlying muscles to redefine the neck and jawline. After trimming away excess skin, the skin is then redraped, lifted, and sutured into place.
The entire procedure generally lasts 1-3 hours, depending on whether a neck lift is performed alone or in conjunction with liposuction and/or a facelift. With advanced techniques and minimal scarring, a neck lift effectively addresses sagging and muscle banding, resulting in a more youthful and sculpted appearance.
What can I expect from the results?
After a neck lift at Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery, patients can expect transformative results that significantly enhance the appearance of their neck and jawline. The procedure effectively tightens sagging skin, removes excess fat, and smooths out muscle banding, resulting in a more defined and youthful profile. The contour of the neck becomes more refined, with a noticeable improvement in the overall harmony between the neck and face.
As healing progresses, patients enjoy a rejuvenated look with minimal visible scarring, providing a natural and refreshed appearance that boosts confidence and enhances facial aesthetics.
What is the recovery time for a neck lift?
Recovery time after a neck lift can vary based on the extent of the procedure. Sutures are typically removed in about a week, and most bruising diminishes within two weeks. Patients often return to work within a week and can usually resume exercise after 3-4 weeks, following your doctor’s specific recommendations.
