A neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the neck and give you a smooth, youthful-looking neck. The surgery removes fat deposits and tightens the muscles and rejuvenates the appearance of your neck.
This procedure is one of the safest in plastic surgery which can restore the youthfulness of your neck and increase your self-confidence.
How To Know If a Neck Lift Is For You
Due to gravity, major weight loss, and aging, our skin loses elasticity and we get wrinkles. The Platysma muscle under the skin surface stretches as we age and our skin becomes saggy. A neck lift can fix a series of issues related to your neck which is caused by the natural aging process. The procedure can treat:
Double chin
Sun damaged neck skin
The excess skin under the jaws
Excess neck fat and neck skin
Loose neck-turkey wattle neck
If you are experiencing some of the above-mentioned problems you are a good candidate for neck surgery. The procedure can restore firmness to your neck and improve the appearance of your chin as well.
If you are considering getting a neck lift, there are certain factors that you must take into consideration. First of all, you must be in good health in order to undergo the surgery. If you are suffering from a serious medical condition, you must inform the doctor, as this can seriously affect the healing process and increase possible risks associated with the surgery. You also have to meet certain criteria, for example, your skin still has some of its elasticity so that it can withstand the stretching.
You must have realistic expectations when it comes to a neck lift. The natural aging process cannot be stopped, and due to aging, gravity, or major weight loss, you neck skin can become loose and saggy again and your chin may loose its definition. The decision to undero a neck lift surgery must be entirely yours meaning that you are doing it for yourself and not for anybody else.
When thinking of undergoing any surgery as well as a neck lift, it is important to find a highly qualified Beverly Hills surgeon to perform the procedure. Patients are encouraged to choose certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeons with extensive training and experience. Paying a little extra is worth the trouble as you will minimize the risk of something going wrong during or after the procedure. Ask to see before and after photos in order to see the results of your doctor’s previous work.
The Neck Lift Procedure
The procedure usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. It can be performed under various types of anesthesia, depending on your preference as well as that of your plastic surgeon. The procedure is often performed under local anesthesia only followed by a sedative. You can also be unconscious during the procedure or asleep.
Neck lift surgery is commonly performed together with some other procedures such as a face lift, brow lift, and eyelid surgery in order to achieve better results and restores the youthfulness to the entire face as well as neck. Therefore, the procedure techniques vary according to your desired results. While some patients achieve the desired results with a liposuction only, other undergo fat and skin excess removal and tightening the muscles.
Neck lift surgery is performed with minimal incisions that are placed so that their visibility is limited, usually behind the ears and under the chin. The surgeon makes the incisions and then removes fat and skin is removed. This can be done by liposuction or by surgical excision. The skin is then pulled and the incisions are closed.
Neck Lift Surgery Recovery
You should be prepared to take some time off work until you recover after the procedure. This can take anywhere between one and two weeks. It is highly recommended to arrange that someone takes you home after the surgery and take care of you for several days if necessary. You should rest and be in bed most of the time during the first few days avoiding any activity that may affect the healing process.
Immediately after the surgery, you may feel soreness and tenderness which is completely normal. This is usually easily controlled with prescription pain medications. You will experience bruising and swelling after the procedure which will usually go away after several days. Your skin may be puffy and pale after the surgery and this may last for a couple of weeks.
As with any other surgery, there are certain risks associated with neck lift surgery that you must be aware of. Infection and bleeding can occur, therefore you should follow your doctor’s instructions carefully in order to avoid such complications. You should try to avoid any strenuous activity during your recovery time such as sports of heavy lifting, as this can increase the risk of infection and bleeding. Should you notice any signs of complications you should contact your surgeon immediately.
You will be required to wear a neck compression for about two weeks after the surgery in order to minimize the swelling. Your recovery time may take up to six weeks, and you will be able to see the true results of the surgery when all the swelling disappears. You should wear loose shirts during your initial part of recovery, as pulling clothes over your head can affect the healing process.
If you are undergoing a neck lift surgery combined with other surgeries such as a brow lift or a face lift, you should expect the healing process to last longer.
What To Expect
While nothing can stop the natural aging process, keep in mind that the results of your procedure are not permanent. However, the effects of a neck lift can be very durable depending on your bone structure and skin elasticity. Scaring is to be expected if you are considering getting a neck lift. But eventually, they will fade and become less visible.
