Understanding Neck Lift: Addressing Premature Neck Aging

Age can manifest differently across various body areas, with the neck often becoming a prominent indicator of advancing years. Factors like genetics, stress, and gravity contribute to neck aging, creating concerns such as sagging skin, deep creases, and unwanted fatty deposits.

What is a Neck Lift Procedure?

A neck lift is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the neck region. Board-certified plastic surgeons perform two key techniques: cervicoplasty (removing excess skin and tissue) and platysmaplasty (tightening remaining skin).

Treatable Neck Concerns

• Turkey neck or turkey wattle appearance
• Excess neck wrinkles and deep creasing
• Vertical neck bands
• Excess neck fat
• Double chin fatty deposits
• Loose neck skin
• Abnormal neck contouring

Neck Lift Procedure Details

Performed as an outpatient surgery, the procedure typically takes two to three hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Tolson conducts surgeries in his AAAASF-certified surgical suite adjacent to the Cumming, Georgia office, ensuring patient comfort and familiarity.

Recovery and Side Effects

Patients can expect initial swelling and tightness, which typically subsides within five to ten days. Most individuals require ten to fourteen days for recovery, with full results visible after several months.

Preparing for Your Neck Lift

Preparation involves a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Tolson to evaluate medical history and cosmetic goals. Key pre-surgical recommendations include:

• Cease smoking six weeks prior to surgery
• Discontinue aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications
• Maintain proper hydration
• Arrange transportation and initial post-surgical care

Complementary Procedures

For balanced facial rejuvenation, Dr. Tolson may recommend combining neck lift with procedures like mini facelift, brow lift, fat transfer, or eyelid surgery.
