Neck Lift in Henderson, NV | Signature Plastic Surgery

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

Sagging, aged skin on the neck and lower facial region is a common sign of aging that can be difficult to address. As individuals age or experience significant weight loss, excess inelastic skin and fat accumulation along the jaw and chin become more pronounced. A neck lift procedure offers a comprehensive solution for enhancing the neck's appearance and restoring a more youthful contour.

What is a Neck Lift?

A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck and jawline by addressing multiple aesthetic concerns. During the procedure, a board-certified plastic surgeon will:

• Remove excess fat deposits from the jowls and chin
• Tighten neck muscles
• Contour a sharper, more aesthetically pleasing jawline
• Remove loose, inelastic skin

Ideal Candidates for Neck Lift

The ideal neck lift candidate is in good overall health with realistic expectations about the procedure. Typical candidates include individuals who:

• Have loose or sagging neck skin
• Demonstrate decreased skin elasticity
• Are over 40 years old
• Have recently lost a significant amount of weight

Neck Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Himansu Shah performs neck lift surgeries under general or local anesthesia, typically requiring two to three hours. The procedure involves creating small, discreet incisions to remove excess skin, tighten muscles, and reposition tissues to create a more refined neck and jawline.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a neck lift involves wearing a supportive compression garment and following specific post-operative instructions. Most patients can expect:

• Initial swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks
• Gradual return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks
