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 of the neck. Candidates for the neck lift include healthy patients with good underlying bony architecture and no jowls. The neck lift involves hidden incisions which 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 a good underlying bony architecture, moderate fat, minimal jowls, and no loose skin. Neck liposuction involves a very small incision which is hidden under the chin. Excess fat is then removed and the incision is closed.
Candidates for Neck Lift Surgery
Submentoplasty is a neck skin tightening procedure which can improve the appearance of loose skin and excess fat of the neck. 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 30’s to their 70’s who are looking to improve the appearance of the neck without undergoing a full Neck enhancement surgery. It is not intended for patients with heavy or obese necks.
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 proper patient population.
Neck Lift Cost
The average cost of neck lift (double chin) varies greatly depending on the individual needs of each patient. The best way to get an accurate estimate for your own Neck enhancement surgery procedure is to consult with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Shervin Naderi who can assess your desired outcome and create a customized treatment plan. Generally, the cost of a neck lift includes surgeon fees, anesthesia fees, facility and operating room costs, as well as post-operative care and medications. Many patients also opt to combine their neck lift with other facial procedures such as blepharoplasty or rhinoplasty in order to achieve their ideal youthful appearance.
Neck Lift Consultation
A neck lift consultation is the first step in understanding what a Neck rejuvenation can do for your overall appearance. 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 surgeon will review the cosmetic procedures available as well as explain the surgical process involved in performing the neck muscle surgical procedure, which typically takes place as an outpatient procedure at a local surgical facility. Recovery time depends on individual factors and may range from several weeks up to several months depending on the extent of the surgery performed. Your surgeon will be able to provide more details about recovery and expected outcomes during your consultation.
Neck Lift Possible Risks and Complications
The cost of a neck lift will depend on individual factors, such as the type of cosmetic surgery performed and the complexity of the procedure. Generally, the cost of a neck lift includes surgeon fees, anesthesia fees, facility and operating room costs, as well as post-operative care and medications. Pain medication will be used to manage any discomfort during recovery. Oral pain medication may also be prescribed to help reduce swelling and discomfort.
The surgical incisions made for a Neck rejuvenation are typically hidden in natural creases or behind the ears. 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 activities that involve strenuous physical 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.
