Advanced Neck Lift Encino, CA | Dr. Steven J. Varkony

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery

A neck lift is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to create a more youthful appearance in the neck and jawline. By strategically removing excess fat and skin and treating vertical neck bands involving the platysma muscle, patients can achieve a dramatically rejuvenated profile.

Targeted Neck Lift Concerns

Neck lift surgery addresses multiple age-related and weight loss-related aesthetic challenges, including:

Excess sagging skin in the lower facial region
Visible vertical neck muscle bands
Double chin appearance
Loss of neck and jawline definition

Surgical Approach

Dr. Varkony employs a meticulous surgical technique that involves creating an internal muscle "corset" by carefully suturing the platysma muscle edges. The SMAS (connective tissue covering neck muscles) is also tightened to correct sagging and restore a more refined neck contour.

Advanced Neck Lift Procedure Details

Surgical Preparation

Patients should prepare for their neck lift by:

Planning approximately one week off work
Avoiding strenuous activities for three weeks post-surgery
Fasting after midnight before the procedure

Anesthesia and Surgical Technique

Dr. Varkony offers multiple anesthesia options, including local anesthesia, twilight sedation, and general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed behind the ears and potentially under the chin to minimize visible scarring while maximizing surgical effectiveness.

Recovery and Results

The initial recovery phase typically spans one week, with minimal swelling and bruising. Patients can expect to see final results within several weeks, often experiencing a remarkably refreshed and younger appearance.

Long-Term Expectations

While a neck lift provides significant rejuvenation, the natural aging process continues. Many patients consider revision procedures approximately 10-12 years after their initial surgery to maintain optimal results.

Upon deciding to have facial cosmetic surgery, I diligently researched reputable cosmetic surgeons online, and Dr. Steven Varkony was included on practically all of the sites that came up. I had a mini face lift and upper & lower eyelid lifts approximately 17 years ago, and it was time for a "tune up"! I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Varkony; he was very informative and forthcoming with details, yet also listened to what I had to say in terms of the results I was hoping for. Dr. Varkony agreed that repeating those 2 procedures I had previously, would be most beneficial, and also suggested tightening of my neck, which he simulated at that time, to show me how it would look, and I thoroughly agreed. He assured me he would take optimal care, and that I would be extremely happy with the results. Surgery took place March 27th, wherein all 3 procedures were done at one time. Dr. Varkony and his surgical team were professional, encouraging, competent, and made me feel very well taken care of. I was sent home that evening and Dr. Varkony called me that night to see how I was doing, and to advise me regarding steps to take to alleviate the ensuing nausea from the anesthesia, and some residual pain directly after surgery. My first follow-up appt was the following day and I have had several more follow up appointments since then and have several more scheduled in the near future. I feel very confident that I had the best care facilitated by Dr. Varkony and his surgical team; he is very thorough in regard to post-surgery precautionary procedures, as well as explaining everything I was to expect afterwards in terms of the healing process, and also patiently answered my (many) questions. I'm approximately one week out of surgery at this point in time and I'm already seeing very encouraging results. Dr. Varkony is easily accessible via phone, and is prompt in replying to text messages and emails. I was very apprehensive about going through this elective surgical ordeal again, however now I feel completely confident in my choice of surgeons. As soon as my healing progresses a bit more, I will post a before-and-after photo. Stay tuned! Today marks almost 1 year since Dr. Varkony performed a lower face lift, upper eye lift and neck tightening surgery on me. I am completely healed; I could not be more thrilled with the results. Everyone that hasn't seen me in a while tells me how great I look and they can't believe it when I tell them how old I am (67) . Dr. Varkony did an excellent job and his follow up care is exemplary.
