What is a Neck Lift?

A lower rhytidectomy, commonly called a neck lift, is a surgical procedure designed to revitalize the appearance of the neck and jawline. The procedure addresses signs of aging and aesthetic concerns in the neck area, such as sagging, loose skin, and excess fat deposits, often contributing to a double chin, muscle banding or “turkey neck,” wrinkles, and fine lines.

Neck Lift Surgery Procedure

Our neck lift procedures are performed by our highly skilled, board-certified plastic surgeons, who ensure you achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results that enhance your overall facial aesthetics.

Pre-Operative Preparations

Before a neck lift surgery, a comprehensive medical evaluation is essential to determine your suitability for the procedure. This is followed by a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons to discuss expectations, options, and risks. Lifestyle adjustments, such as quitting smoking and avoiding certain medications, are necessary for optimal outcomes. Additionally, pre-surgery dietary guidelines may be provided. It’s also advisable to arrange transportation for post-surgery and prepare your home for a comfortable recovery.

Neck Lift Procedure

Anesthesia

Your surgery will be performed under general anesthesia at Illuum Cosmetic Surgery in our accredited surgery center.

Incisions

Our surgeon will make a small incision in front of and behind the ears to access the neck muscles and address sagging skin.

Tightening and Reshaping

We will enhance the contour of your neck and jawline by tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin and fat.

Closure

Once the desired effect is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures. Sometimes, a drain may be placed to remove any excess fluids.

Benefits of a Neck Lift

While the primary goal is aesthetic enhancement, the benefits of a neck lift extend beyond just physical improvements. Let’s explore the various advantages of this procedure.
One of the primary motivations for individuals to choose neck lifts is the desire for a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. The procedure excels in tightening loose skin and fortifying the underlying muscles, effectively diminishing age-related concerns, such as sagging and wrinkles.
A neck lift not only refines your jawline and eradicates the “turkey neck” but also removes excess fat, contributing to a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. This overall enhancement elevates your aesthetic appeal.
Feeling good about how you look can significantly impact your self-esteem and confidence. A neck lift can provide a psychological boost, making you feel more comfortable and confident in social and professional settings.

The effects of a neck lift are not just immediate but also long-lasting. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care can help the neck lift results last up to a decade, making it a worthwhile investment in your appearance and self-esteem.

Ideal Candidates for a Neck Lift

An ideal candidate for a neck lift should be healthy and free from chronic conditions that could hinder surgery or recovery. Non-smokers, or those willing to quit, are preferred for optimal healing. While there is no strict age limit for undergoing a neck lift, the procedure is most commonly sought by individuals in their 40s to 60s. However, younger patients with better skin elasticity often experience more optimal results, as the skin’s natural ability to bounce back contributes to the success of the surgery. Individuals bothered by loose, sagging neck skin make good candidates for a neck lift. Additionally, those struggling with excess fat deposits under the chin or around the neck, commonly leading to a double chin, can also benefit from the procedure. Moreover, if you have visible vertical bands of muscle in the neck, known as muscle banding, a neck lift can effectively smooth these out, enhancing the overall appearance of the neck.

Recovery and Results

After your neck lift at Illuum Cosmetic Surgery, you’ll begin your recovery in a specialized room for close monitoring. Keeping your head elevated during the first week is crucial to help reduce swelling. Individual factors and the extent of the surgery can affect the recovery time for a neck lift. Generally, most patients can return to non-strenuous activities within a week. You can expect a follow-up appointment for suture removal, which usually occurs at 7 and 14 days post-surgery, to assess your healing progress. Swelling and discomfort are common but manageable with prescribed medication.
Most patients can resume regular activities, including exercise, after 4 weeks. As swelling and bruising subside, you’ll notice initial improvements within a few weeks, and the full effects of the surgery will become apparent after several months. With proper care, including skincare and lifestyle choices, these results can last up to a decade, giving you a more youthful appearance and enhanced self-esteem.
