Neck Lift



(Lower Rhytidectomy)





The loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can result from various factors, including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions, and stress. While some individuals may feel that their upper face remains youthful and attractive, they may notice issues such as excess wrinkling of the neck skin, a double chin, "turkey wattle," or jowl lines. In such cases, a full facelift may not be necessary or desired. Instead, a neck lift can be an excellent solution to address these specific concerns and achieve a more harmonious overall appearance.



What?

A neck lift can drastically alter your profile and jawline, and it can make you look years younger. Neck lifts are intended to restore the slim, youthful contours of your neck by treating issues like the following:

  • Excess Fat: Both under the chin (commonly known as a double chin) and on the neck, excess fat can be removed to create a smoother, more defined contour.
  • Loose, Sagging Skin: As we age, skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging. A neck lift tightens and removes excess skin, giving a firmer appearance.
  • Muscle Banding: The platysma muscles in the neck can create unwanted banding or cords, which can be smoothed out and tightened during a neck lift.
  • Jowls: Sagging skin and fat around the jawline can be lifted and tightened to reduce the appearance of jowls.
  • Wrinkles and Creases: Fine lines and deep wrinkles on the neck can be smoothed out for a more youthful look.


How?

The procedure typically involves making small incisions behind the ears and sometimes under the chin. Through these incisions, the surgeon can perform the necessary adjustments to fat, muscles, and skin.


Recovery from a neck lift varies, but initial swelling and bruising usually subside within a few weeks. Full results become apparent over a few months as the neck contours settle into their new shape. A neck lift can provide long-lasting, natural-looking results, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare.


For those who feel their neck area does not match the youthful appearance of their upper face, a neck lift offers a tailored approach to rejuvenation, enhancing overall facial harmony and boosting confidence.
