Advanced Neck Lift in Delaware | Abdollah Malek, M.D.

Understanding the Neck Lift Procedure

As aging progresses, gravitational forces impact neck tissues, causing skin laxity, fat accumulation, and diminished jawline definition. A neck lift surgical procedure addresses these age-related changes by removing excess skin, tightening muscle tissue, and restoring youthful neck contours.

Procedure Overview

Dr. Malek strategically performs neck lift surgery using advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking results. Typical anesthesia options include intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure.

Surgical Technique

• Incision made at the front of the earlobe, continuing around the ear and down the lower scalp
• Skin lifted and tightened to slim neck and jawline
• Excess skin trimmed and fatty tissue removed
• Focuses on lower face, jaw, and neck regions

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift

Optimal candidates for a neck lift typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Good overall medical health
• Commitment to proper recovery protocols
• Desire for a more defined jawline
• Presence of excess neck skin and fat

Recovery and Healing

Patients can generally expect a structured recovery process with gradual return to normal activities. Most individuals can resume daily routines within two weeks, with initial bruising and swelling subsiding progressively.

Recovery Highlights

• Safe return to daily activities after approximately 2 weeks
• Bandages typically removed within 2-3 days
• Return to work possible in 7-10 days
• Avoid high-intensity activities for several weeks
• Protect skin from sun exposure during healing

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Malek may recommend combining a neck lift with additional rejuvenation procedures such as:

• Brow lift to correct sagging forehead
• Fat transfer for facial volume restoration
• Eyelid surgery for comprehensive facial rejuvenation

Potential Scarring Considerations

While surgical scarring is inevitable, Dr. Malek meticulously places incisions in inconspicuous locations to minimize visible marks. With proper care and recovery, scarring can often become nearly undetectable.
