Neck Lift in McLean, VA | Mesbahi Plastic Surgery

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to address loose skin, stubborn fat deposits, and undefined neck contours. Patients struggling with a "turkey neck" or double-chin appearance can achieve a more refined, youthful neckline through this specialized surgical technique.

Benefits of Neck Lift Surgery

• Eliminates sagging skin and excess fat
• Restores neck and jawline definition
• Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results
• Boosts self-confidence and aesthetic appearance

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift

Candidates for neck lift surgery typically include individuals experiencing:

• Visible skin laxity along the neckline
• Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Signs of aging in the neck and lower facial region
• Healthy body weight with realistic aesthetic expectations

Neck Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Alex Mesbahi performs neck lift surgery under general anesthesia, utilizing precision techniques to achieve optimal results. The procedure involves strategic incisions behind the ears and potentially under the chin, allowing for comprehensive neck contouring and skin tightening.

Surgical Approach

• Carefully placed incisions to minimize visible scarring
• Targeted fat removal through liposuction
• Precise skin excision and repositioning
• Customized treatment plan for individual aesthetic goals

Recovery from neck lift surgery typically involves minimal discomfort, with most patients returning to normal activities within two weeks. Patients can expect gradual improvement in neck contours, with final results becoming apparent as healing progresses.

Recovery Timeline

• Initial healing: 1-2 weeks
• Reduced swelling and bruising: 2-4 weeks
• Final results: 3-6 months

Complementary Procedures

Neck lift surgery can be combined with additional facial rejuvenation procedures such as facelift, chin augmentation, or cheek enhancement to achieve comprehensive aesthetic improvements.
