Neck Lift in Newport Beach, CA | Ali Razfar, MD Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding Neck Aging and Treatment Options

One of the first signs of aging occurs in the neck region, presenting as vertical bands, excess skin, fat accumulation, or a blunted jawline. Dr. Ali Razfar offers personalized neck lift procedures that can be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with complementary facial rejuvenation techniques.

Neck Lift Candidacy and Concerns

Ideal candidates for a neck lift typically experience the following aging characteristics:

• Vertical neck muscle bands
• Excess chin and jawline fat
• Skin sagging and looseness
• Loss of defined jawline contour

Neck Liposuction: Targeted Fat Removal

Neck liposuction is a specialized procedure designed to address excessive fat beneath the chin and neck. This technique helps improve facial balance and restore a more youthful appearance by removing stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.

Procedure Technique

The neck liposuction procedure involves strategic small incisions under the chin and near the earlobe. Local anesthesia is administered, and a specialized cannula removes targeted fat beneath the skin. A protective neck wrap is applied to minimize post-procedural swelling and bruising.

Non-Surgical Alternative Options

For patients with mild to moderate aging signs, non-surgical alternatives like liquid facelifts can provide facial rejuvenation. These comprehensive treatments combine Botox, dermal fillers, fat grafting, and laser skin resurfacing to achieve subtle yet transformative results.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a neck lift involves several stages. Significant swelling and mild bruising are expected during the first week, gradually resolving over 2-3 weeks. Stitches are typically removed approximately one week post-surgery, with detailed post-operative instructions provided to ensure optimal healing.

Scar Management

Incisions are strategically placed within natural hairlines and facial creases, ensuring minimal visible scarring. With proper healing, these surgical marks become nearly imperceptible.
