A neck lift is a cosmetic procedure that tightens and smooths the skin and muscles of the neck, reducing sagging and improving the neck's overall contour. It targets loose skin, excess fat, and muscle banding to create a more youthful and defined appearance.
Neck lift surgery is an excellent option for individuals who are bothered by signs of aging or laxity in the neck area. Ideal candidates for neck lift:
Have loose or sagging skin in the neck area
Experience vertical banding or horizontal creases in the neck
Desire to improve the definition of the jawline and neck
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure
Dr. Schwarcz will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine if neck lift surgery is the right treatment option for you based on your unique anatomy and cosmetic goals.
While neck lift surgery offers transformative results for many individuals, certain factors may preclude you from undergoing the procedure. You may not be a suitable candidate if you:
Have significant medical conditions that could increase surgical risks
Smoke or use nicotine products, as smoking can impair healing
Have unrealistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure
If you have any concerns about your candidacy for neck lift surgery, Dr. Schwarcz will address them during your consultation and recommend alternative treatments if necessary.
Neck lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The specific techniques used during the surgery will depend on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. However, the general steps of the procedure may include:
Incisions: Dr. Schwarcz will create discreet incisions behind the ears and/or under the chin to access the underlying tissues of the neck.
Tissue Tightening: Through the incisions, Dr. Schwarcz will tighten and reposition the underlying muscles and tissues of the neck to restore a more youthful contour.
Excess Skin Removal: Any excess skin will be carefully removed to eliminate sagging and create a smoother, more defined neck appearance.
Closure: Once the desired improvements have been achieved, Dr. Schwarcz will close the incisions with sutures for optimal healing.
After neck lift surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. Dr. Schwarcz will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to help manage any discomfort and promote a smooth recovery. You may need to wear a compression garment around the neck to support the healing tissues and minimize swelling.
Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within two weeks following neck lift surgery, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. As the swelling subsides and the healing process progresses, you will gradually see the final results of your neck lift, including a more defined jawline and smoother neck contour.
