A neck lift procedure treats excessive wrinkling and sagging skin in the neck.
As you age, you may begin to notice excessive wrinkling and sagging skin in the neck. This may get to the point that you experience a double chin or “turkey neck.” A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, can treat these signs of aging. By removing excess skin and tissue and tightening the sagging muscle of the neck, you can have a smooth and toned neck.
Over time, skin begins to lose elasticity and droop from it’s once lifted position. This can be caused by aging alone or a combination of factors, including genetics, environmental factors, sun damage, stress, and more. The neck area is often one of the first places where aging appears. The delicate skin and anatomical structure of the neck make it an ideal place for fine lines, wrinkles, stubborn fat, and loose skin to develop.
The face and neck are focal point of the body. Often times, patients struggle with their self-esteem once they begin to look older on the outside than they feel on the inside. Neck lift patients can enjoy lifelong benefits that will improve their outward physical appearance.
A technically complex procedure, attention to detail and an excellent understanding of the neck and underlying structures is key; a neck lift is designed to smooth the neck area, without it appearing pulled and tight. Commonly the deeper layers of the neck are repositioned and contoured, giving a more complete rejuvenation.
Dr. Edouard Coeugniet will perform a thorough examination of your face and neck to determine the best surgical plan to achieve your specific esthetic needs. The goal is a very natural, youthful, long-lasting result.
A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. Here's a breakdown of the key benefits:
The ideal candidate for neck lift surgery is in generally good health and a nonsmoker. This procedure may be right for patients between forty and eighty years old who have adequate skin elasticity in the neck area, loose skin under the jawline, double or triple chin, excess fat on the neck, skin that has been damaged by sun exposure, and more. It is important to note that neck lift surgery does not stop aging altogether, rather it turns back the clock to a more youthful look.
A neck lift recovery typically takes 4–6 weeks, but full healing can take several months. We provide a chin and neck wrap to help support healing, and initial discomfort is managed with oral medication. Swelling and bruising disappear after 2 weeks, and your final results are noticeable in 1-3 months.
“ The main objective of this procedure is to tighten and remove excess skin from the neck, and to reposition the deeper tissues to provide a more youthful appearance. ”
If you have sagging, loose skin, vertical “bands” along the front of your neck, are in good physical health and a non-smoker, you should be a good candidate. A consultation will determine whether or not this is the right solution for you.
Results are long lasting, typically 10-15 years.
There are scars, but the surgeon is very skilled at hiding them.
Yes! A neck lift is frequently combined with a facelift, brow lift, blepharoplasty, or laser resurfacing for a more complete and harmonious outcome.
Any strenuous activity should be skipped for several weeks. Keeping your head and neck elevated is crucial, as well as avoiding increased pressure to these areas, so you must take a break from working out until bruising and swelling has resolved.
