Advanced Neck Lift Surgery in Princeton, NJ

Understanding Neck Lift Procedures

Neck rejuvenation procedures range from minimally invasive techniques to surgical interventions, depending on the patient's skin elasticity and aesthetic goals. The Princeton Center for Plastic Surgery specializes in personalized neck contouring techniques that address skin redundancy, muscle laxity, and fat distribution.

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery

• Patients with significant weight loss
• Individuals with persistent loose neck skin
• Those experiencing muscle separation in the neck region

Comprehensive Neck Lift Benefits

The neck lift procedure offers three primary advantages:

• Reduction of excess fat beneath the chin and along the jawline
• Tightening of the platysma muscle for improved neck contour
• Precise skin excision for predictable aesthetic outcomes

Neck Lift Surgical Approach

Dr. Thomas Leach performs most neck lift procedures in-office under local anesthesia with minimal sedation. The surgical technique involves strategic incisions in the hairline and under the chin, allowing for comprehensive neck muscle and skin repositioning.

Procedure Techniques

• Minimally invasive options using Smartlipo laser technology
• Muscle tightening through small targeted incisions
• Individualized skin excision and re-draping

Recovery and Expectations

Patients typically return to normal activities within one to two weeks following the procedure. Compression garments are often utilized during initial recovery to support optimal healing and contouring.

Important Considerations

Dr. Leach emphasizes that a neck lift focuses exclusively on neck rejuvenation and will not significantly impact areas above the jawline. Patients seeking more comprehensive facial rejuvenation may be recommended a full facelift procedure.
