Neck Lift Long Beach, CA | Keith A. Hurvitz, M.D.

Understanding Neck Lift Surgery in Long Beach

A neck lift is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck area by removing excess skin and fat, potentially tightening underlying muscles, and redraping skin for a more youthful appearance. Dr. Keith Hurvitz offers comprehensive neck lift solutions tailored to individual patient needs in the Long Beach and South Bay regions.

Neck Lift Procedure Overview

• Anesthesia: General or Local
• Procedure Location: Outpatient surgery center or in-office surgical suite
• Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks for social readiness, 4-6 weeks for full recovery

Common Signs of Neck Aging

Patients often seek neck lift procedures to address specific aging concerns:

• Loose neck skin
• Submental fat accumulation
• Turkey neck appearance
• Vertical platysmal muscle bands

Customized Neck Rejuvenation Approach

Dr. Hurvitz employs a modern, segmented approach to facial aging, breaking down treatment areas into four distinct zones: upper face, mid-face, lower face, and neck. This strategy allows for more precise and targeted rejuvenation techniques.

Neck Lift Surgical Options

Depending on individual patient needs, Dr. Hurvitz may recommend:

• Standalone neck lift
• Combined lower facelift with neck lift
• Local anesthesia in-office procedure
• General anesthesia at outpatient surgical facility

Recovery and Healing Process

Successful neck lift recovery requires carefully following post-operative instructions. Patients can expect some temporary side effects, including swelling, bruising, and limited neck mobility. Wearing a support garment and maintaining proper head elevation can help minimize discomfort and support optimal healing.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Hurvitz often recommends combining neck lift with complementary procedures to enhance overall results:

• Platysmaplasty
• Neck liposuction
• Lower facelift
• Chin augmentation

Consultation and Personalized Planning

A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Hurvitz is essential to determine the most appropriate neck rejuvenation strategy. During this consultation, patients will discuss aesthetic goals, review potential techniques, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
