Understanding Neck Lift Surgery
Neck lift surgery is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to address multiple aesthetic concerns. Patients seek this treatment for various reasons, including aging, weight loss, and genetic predispositions that cause excess skin or fat accumulation around the neck area.
Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery
Ideal candidates for neck lift surgery typically:
- Are over 40 years old
- Have loose or sagging neck skin
- Have fat deposits beneath the chin
- Are in good overall health
- Are non-smokers
Surgical Techniques
Dr. Scott Green performs neck lift surgery using two primary techniques: cervicoplasty and platysmaplasty. The two-to-three-hour procedure involves removing excess skin and modifying neck muscles to create a more defined, youthful appearance.
Neck Lift Procedure Details
The surgical approach includes strategic incisions behind or under the ears and potentially a small incision under the chin. During the procedure, Dr. Green carefully trims and lifts skin, removes targeted fat and muscle sections, and sutures the areas to create a smoother, more refined neck contour.
Recovery and Results
Patients can expect initial results within one week, with final outcomes materializing over six months. Typically, neck lift results last approximately ten years. Patients are advised to wear a compression garment, minimize sun exposure, and follow post-operative care instructions to optimize healing.
Customized Approach to Neck Rejuvenation
Each neck lift is tailored to the individual patient's unique anatomical characteristics and aesthetic goals. The procedure can be performed independently or in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation techniques like facelifts.
Procedural Considerations
- Surgical time: 2-3 hours
- Anesthesia: Required
- Recovery: 10-14 days before returning to work
- Full healing: Several months
