What Is Neck Lift Surgery?

The neck lift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to correct the loss of definition and improve the appearance of the neck. It is similar to traditional facelift surgery because it also targets the neck region and tackles the visible signs of aging associated with it. However, a facelift addresses only the upper area of the neck and lower face, while a neck lift targets the entire neck.

Dr. Kulak performs these procedures at INOVA system hospitals, which include Fair Oaks Hospital, Loudoun Hospital, Fairfax Hospital, and Mt. Vernon Hospital. Neck liposuction takes about thirty minutes, submentoplasty can take about forty-five minutes to an hour, and the neck lift will take about two hours. General anesthesia or MAC (monitored anesthesia care) may be used.

The Neck Lift Procedure

The neck lift is the standard for neck skin tightening. It can improve the appearance of loose skin and extra fat deposits in the neck. Candidates for the neck lift include healthy patients with good underlying bony architecture and no jowls. The entire neck lift procedure involves hidden incisions that are camouflaged within the hairline and inside of the ear for women or in front of the ear for men. For the most natural and long-lasting results without a “pulled-back” look, Dr. Kulak performs a modified composite lift with SMAS elevation and imbrication. Platysma suture corset tightening (plication) and liposuction are also performed through a small incision under the chin.

Neck liposuction can improve the appearance of excess fat in the neck area. Candidates include healthy patients aged eighteen to fifty who have good underlying bony architecture, moderate fat, minimal jowls, and no loose skin. Neck liposuction involves a very small incision hidden under the chin. Excess fat is then removed, and the incision is closed.

Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery

Ideal Candidates include healthy patients who have good underlying bony architecture and no jowls. The procedure is ideal for patients ranging in age from their late 30s to their 70s who are looking to improve the appearance of excess neck skin. It is not intended for patients with heavy or obese necks since complete aesthetic harmony is one of the goals of this procedure.

Submentoplasty involves a small, hidden “T” incision which is located under the chin. Once the incision is made, extra skin and fat are removed. This “T” incision technique is only performed by a handful of facial plastic surgeons and is the key to the success of this operation in addressing loose neck tissue. In essence, Dr. Naderi’s “T” incision submentoplasty is a mini neck lift with fantastic results in the right patient, he will devise a proper surgical plan that is tailored to your specific needs.

In this consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with a plastic surgeon who holds board certification. Together, you’ll explore your envisioned results and collaboratively create a tailored strategy for your neck lift process.

Your expert plastic surgeon will review the cosmetic procedures available and explain the process involved in performing the surgical procedure, which typically takes place on an outpatient basis at one of our local, luxurious centers located in Reston, VA, or Chevy Chase, MD. Recovery time depends on individual factors and may range from several weeks up to several months, depending on the extent of the surgery performed.

Muscle banding may also be used in order to reposition sagging skin in order to achieve a more youthful appearance. Patients should consult with their board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if a neck lift is right for them and get an accurate estimate for their procedure.

Neck Lift Recovery

Recovering from a Neck rejuvenation operation can take several weeks. Initially, the recovery period involves rest and avoiding any physical activities that involve strenuous activity or could cause trauma to the area. During this time, light exercise such as walking is allowed but should not be excessive. After the first few weeks, more advanced treatments may be recommended to help reduce swelling and bruising.

Treatment options may include massage therapy or ultrasound therapy to improve healing as well as reduce post-operative scarring. During the recovery period, it is important for patients to follow their doctor’s instructions carefully in order to ensure a successful outcome. With proper care and patience, patients can expect to enjoy long-term results from their neck lift operation for many years to come.
