Elegance From The Neck Up

Loose or hanging skin around the neck is a common cause of self-consciousness in middle-aged and older patients, both male and female.

Many patients feel it makes them appear older, tired, or unhealthy. For patients in Beverly Hills Neck Lifts can help to melt years off your appearance. We grow older and everything goes south, especially our skin. It can be especially problematic in the area around our neck.

Once supple skin begins to loosen and sag, and we find ourselves wanting to make sure family photos are shot from a high angle to hide it. As we deal with the anxiety and think about how we used to look, we wonder if it's possible to fix such a glaring example that we aren't who we used to be? The answer is a resounding yes. You can do something about that sag beneath your chin and recapture your youthful appearance with a Beverly Hills neck lift at the Plastic Surgery Institute.

What is aneck lift?

A neck lift, also known as cervicoplasty, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the neck's appearance by removing excess skin and fat while tightening underlying muscles. This procedure addresses the sagging or loose appearance that can develop in the neck area, which can affect self-esteem across all age groups. The neck lift specialists at the Plastic Surgery Institute in Beverly Hills are renowned for delivering results that look natural and enhance the overall neck contour.

Benefits of a Neck Lift

Undergoing a neck lift offers numerous aesthetic and psychological benefits. Enhanced jawline definition is one of the primary advantages, as the procedure removes excess fat and tightens muscles, resulting in a sharper and more refined jawline. Additionally, a neck lift significantly reduces wrinkles and lines, delivering a smoother, more youthful appearance. Improved self-confidence often accompanies these physical changes, as patients feel rejuvenated and more satisfied with their overall look. With proper care, the effects of a neck lift can last for many years, providing long-lasting satisfaction.

What Does a Neck Lift Address?

A neck lift effectively addresses various cosmetic concerns that can arise due to aging or significant weight loss. It tightens sagging skin, which is common as we age, providing a firmer and more youthful neck appearance.

The procedure also eliminates a double chin by removing excess fat deposits under the chin, enhancing facial harmony. Muscle banding, characterized by prominent vertical neck bands, is corrected through muscle tightening, resulting in a smoother neck contour. Additionally, a neck lift reduces or eliminates jowls, creating a more contoured and attractive appearance.

Preparation for Your Neck Lift

Our Beverly Hills neck lift providers instruct patients to avoid certain medications, including over-the-counter painkillers and blood thinners. Blood thinners can lead to severe complications during surgery and recovery, and patients are advised against taking them in conjunction with all surgeries. Patients who smoke should plan to quit for several months before and after. Smoking inhibits the blood's oxygen supply, which can also cause severe problems during surgery and cause the recovery period to be prolonged.

Neck Lift Procedure

A neck lift is typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation as an outpatient procedure. Incisions are made below the chin and near the ears, giving the surgeon access to the fat, muscles, and skin of the neck and chin. Through these incisions, fat can be removed using liposuction techniques, and the muscles in the neck can be tightened to improve contour.

After the muscles are tightened and excess fat is removed, the skin is carefully repositioned and contoured to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and medical dressings are applied to provide pressure and maintain a sterile environment for proper healing. Depending on the specific techniques used, sutures may either dissolve on their own or need to be removed during a follow-up visit. Additionally, surgical drains might be placed for several days to prevent fluid accumulation under the skin, ensuring optimal recovery.

Neck Lift Results

Patients can expect to see initial results from their neck lift surgery as swelling and bruising subside within the first few weeks, with more defined outcomes becoming apparent over the next few months.

The results of a neck lift are long-lasting, often enduring for several years, particularly when patients maintain a healthy lifestyle and take good care of their skin. While the natural aging process continues, the improvements from a neck lift provide a significantly rejuvenated appearance that can boost self-confidence and enhance overall facial harmony for an extended period.

Recovery From ANeck Lift

After a neck lift, patients will be monitored in a recovery room for several hours, depending on whether local or general anesthesia was used before being allowed to return home. It is essential to have a responsible friend, family member or loved one available to drive the patient home and assist with their care during the first 24 hours of recovery.

Patients will receive prescriptions for antibiotics and painkillers before the surgery date, and these should be filled and ready for use upon returning home. Most patients are fitted with compression bandages, which are typically worn for 7-10 days. These bandages help increase blood flow and minimize swelling, promoting a smoother and quicker recovery process.

Neck Lift FAQs

What does a Neck Lift correct?

Sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and muscle banding may be treated by a neck lift. Your doctor may also extract jowls and drooping skin, also referred to as a double chin, below the area during this operation.

What is the difference between Neck Liposuction and a Neck Lift?

To remove stubborn fat deposits, we can also use minimally invasive liposuction. Liposuction does not, however, decrease sagging skin or banding of the muscles. As such, a neck lift is probably more fitting if you are after more detailed results.

How long will the results last?

Although the body of every person is special and can respond to surgery in various ways, a surgical facelift should usually last around ten years. This timeframe can also be influenced by such variables, such as how you handle your skin and your dietary habits.

How long does the Neck Lift take?

It usually takes a few hours for neck lift surgery. Your precise aims, the duration of your surgery, and the different procedures used will determine the exact length of your operation.

What can I expect during my recovery from a Neck Lift?

You may feel some swelling and pain for several days following your neck lift. You should get plenty of rest during this time and wear a compression bandage. We will provide customized instructions detailing when you can resume your regular routine. Instructions for post-operative home care can also help relieve your discomfort and accelerate your recovery time.
