Everything You Wanted to Know About a Neck Lift
Whether on its own, or in conjunction with other procedures, a neck lift can be a powerful surgical procedure.
A neck lift is a surgery designed to address signs of aging in the neck and jawline area.
Over time, our skin loses its elasticity, and muscles can become lax, resulting in sagging, jowls, or a double chin.
A neck lift can help rejuvenate the neck area by removing excess skin, tightening the underlying muscles, and improving overall contour.
The procedure itself typically involves making discreet incisions behind the ears and sometimes under the chin, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin and tighten the muscles beneath. In some cases, liposuction may also be performed to eliminate stubborn fat deposits in the neck area, further enhancing the results. A neck lift can be done on its own or in conjunction with other procedures, such as a facelift, to provide comprehensive rejuvenation. The surgery usually takes a few hours, and most patients can go home the same day with the help of a trusted friend or family member.
Recovery from a neck lift varies from person to person, but generally, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days. Most patients can return to light activities after one to two weeks, though strenuous exercise and activities should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks.
